E14 | Our Time Is Short / Say Yes to Life

Moving finally into the record’s last chapter, we cover the two closing songs on the album: ‘Our Time Is Short’ and ‘Say Yes To Life’. ‘Our Time Is Short’ relays the unstoppable finite passing of time in a way that doesn’t despair, but compels us to let this fact drive an embracing love for life and what it is to be human, and finally, ‘Say Yes To Life’ sees our protagonist look back on the odyssey he’s been on and extend a hand to all those that relate to the struggle he’s faced. With some help from Viktor Frankl and Friedrich Nietzsche, these songs draw the album’s odyssey to a close.

No Tone Unturned is a docu-podcast series that takes Australian music seriously.

Every season, we’ll take 1 significant Australian album, and work our way through it from start to finish, one song per episode. We’ll comb through each and every verse to unpack the lyrics, songwriting techniques and philosophy behind the tunes that have moved this country.
