The vocals are quiet and breathy, the harmonies on the chorus are sweet and fluttery, and it's all supported by sighing strings. The Boys sing lines like "I cannot hide I can't erase/ The way you make me feel inside/You complete me girl that's why."

...desert nomad wandering through the desolate, inhospitable Nullarbor Plain of south-central Australia. First released down under in 1999, The Captain is a collection of intense, complex and stirring songs filled with warm, personal tales of the artist's attempts to understand life's unresolved tensions.
