1999-2005 Alex's art was the backdrop of australian life for many many of us ,sparse,isolated,loneliness,jubilation,warmth,sorrow,pain,rediscovery etc etc,his art encompassed it all

One of the first songs my wife and i heard on Aussie radio back in 2005 at the very beginning of our adventure. All the way round Perth to Perth in a year in a beat up 1982 Toyota Hiace camper. Best year of my life.

Fuckin hey!

Stunningly beautiful. Alex is a gift from the gods to the Australian industry.

This might be over-sharing... but hey it's only social media right?: I was walking through the supermarket today (in 2022) and heard this song being played. I couldn't quite make out the lyrics but I remembered the melody from 17 years ago... but, unlike 17 years ago, it brought me to tears. I am now listening to the lyrics and am astounded at how relevant they are to the last 3 years of my life. It is moments like these that I feel so fortunate to be alive in such a beautiful world. Thank you Alex Lloyd.

Far out, you're kidding me! I literally have the same story! Just two days ago I was shopping in Woolies pushing the trolley around when heard this - it'd been so many years that it took me a while to recognise it at first. But when it hit me....yeah, a lump certainly came to my throat right there in the fruit and veg ailse. This was my song way back when my marriage broke down (we were never meant to fail...). Shit. Nearly twenty years ago. No mate, not over-sharing at all. Glad you did....thank you. And yes, beautiful to be alive in a beautiful world👍.

I heard this song just today playing in Drakes and also recognised the melody and had to Shazam it. Haven't heard in 10-15yrs. Amazing song.

I got here from watching an Australian TV show on Hulu "City Homicide". Fell in love with this song when it played in Season 1 Episode 4 "The Return".

Me too! I was watching "City Homicide" on Prime. I just had to find it. Very nice song 🙂

A great song in its time and still sounds fresh even today !!!!!

Still loving this song in 2020!! Shld have way more views...

AMAZING...................Alex has a depth of understanding what it means to be human.................and that we fail.

This song is for me about lost love with the man I was deeply in love with. We were together for 4 years after high school. We were never meant to fail.

I moved to Sydney in 2005. Pubs and the beach were my life. In fact the pub in the video looks familiar. Funny every bloke wore zip up jackets with the two sleeve strips back then😀

Love this song

As it goes, by the story that's already told, comes a time when we all must let go What happened to the story discontented cuts inside It's not meant to, be this lonely we were never meant to fail. Something that's crawling in my skin emotions are falling as it begins I lost all my virtues long ago I didn't want to hurt you but now we know.

fair shit Man this song takes me back right into mid 2000s Australian summer What a fucking SONG!!!! What a fucking SONG!!!!

Great video guys keep up the unbelievable work!

There's something I'm feeling, there's something that's wrong These streets are revealing, in the early morn, The war was last night, these wounds are not healed If we keep believing, then we've gotta feel As it goes By the story that's already told Comes a time when we all must let go What happened to the story Discontented cuts inside It's not meant to, be this lonely We were never meant to fail Something that's crawling In my skin Emotions are falling As it begins I lost all my virtues Long ago I didn't want to hurt you But now we know As it goes By the story that's already told Comes a time when we all must let go What happened to the story Discontented cuts inside It's not meant to, be this lonely We were never meant to fail Never meant to fail Never meant to fail As it goes By the story that's already told Comes a time when we all must let go What happened to the story Discontented cuts inside It's not meant to, be this lonely We were never meant to fail We were never meant to fail We were never meant to fail We were never meant to fail We were never meant to fail
