These Days Lyrics:
It's coming round again
Slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
Soon enough it comes
And settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
It's coming round again
The slowly creeping hand
Of time and its command
It settles in its place
Its shadow in my face
Puts pressure in my day
Soon enough it comes
Here it is again
Slowly creeping hand
Time and it's command
Soon enough it comes
Settles in it's place
It's shadow in my face
Undignified and lame
This life well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Soon enough it comes
Soon enough it comes
Too tie us down
It's coming round again
Slow, slowly creeping hand
This life well it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it's slipping right through my hand
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Powderfinger performing 'These Days' for the final time live.

It is 2020, and this band was never known here in the USA. I have just discovered them a few weeks ago because I listen to a podcast that has an Australian co host. He mentioned this band and I got hooked on my happiness. This jd the first time I heard this song, and apparently it was their last performance, I cried. Even though I just heard about them, i feel very connected to this band. They are still gaining new fans in 2020.

Everybody saying Powderfinger weren't known in the US, not quite right. I've known and loved this band since I first heard them shortly after my brother died in September 2000, a few days after after the release of Odyssey Number Five. They were one of the things I can credit with helping me deal with my grief about his loss of life.
This song explained my life for many years. I was adrift and had fallen into a life that was not what I had imagined when I was young. I felt trapped and depressed. But rather than end it, I thought I should shoulder the blame for my poor decisions and choose the life I wanted. Now I have the life I want and have found my happiness. It can be done.

The MOST underrated Aussie band ever! I grew up with other great Aussie bands - Cold Chisel, INXS, AC/DC ETC ETC and saw them all live in pubs but Powderfinger just resonates with world class musicians, songwriters and performers. If you saw their virtual live concert during COVID you will understand. You guys have to re-form and share your magic once again - there are so many people who will love this! 😎🥰👍
I'm 55 this year. I've seen everything from Midnight Oil in my teens to whatever it is they call music in 2024. Powderfinger are the greatest Aussie band Ive seen in my lifetime. edit: That includes Cold Chisel. Just.

I thought I understood what this song meant at 16 when it came no. 1 in the hottest 100. A few months later I learned what pain and regret and loss really feels like and how real the sentiment behind this song is. Now when I hear it I recall how innocent that 16 year old was and it’s a knife in the heart.

With all the 80s and 90s bands coming back on the scene, and the enormous draw they have for crowds in festivals like Day of the Green and Red Hot Summer Tours, I'm really surprised that Powderfinger hasn't reformed and toured. They could headline everywhere! Hunters & Collectors are doing it now too. So come on Powderfinger! Get back on the road! Put out another album! We fucking love you!
I'm not an Aussie but an Aussie colleague of mine introduced me to PowderFinger about 10 years ago - it was one of the best music tips ever! This is a poignant and powerful performance, how can you not love it?
Song lyrics that are specific but unspecific...to bring you in, to make your mind fill in the blanks. To make the song specific to you...so easy and therefore so meaningful for you....equals a hit.
Bought this album during my 'year out in Oz' back in 2000/2001. 14 years later back in the UK (and now happily married and in my 40s) I still love this track and the great memories I have. Good times!

Luke Barton i reckon this is their best.
I heard about these guys from my cousin randomly back in 2001, after he heard "My Happiness" on a trans-Atlantic flight. I got home, found Internationalist in an HMV, bought it, then went back the next day to buy Odyssey Number Five, and was lucky enough to see them when they came to Toronto. It was amazing to see them in such a small venue (they were - and still are, tragically - unknown in Canada, really). I was lucky, and they were awesome.
We are blessed with Powderfinger, I love it's only known in Australia, it defines us, money is irrelevant
Watching these guys say good-bye to their hometown crowd is awesome. I had never seen them before, but this video says to me that every once in a great while the world is 100% the way it should be. If you're going to go out, this is the way to do it.

This performance of this song makes me cry. Jon's (the drummer's) face at 1:32 gets me. Regret that I never got to see them or really appreciate them until it was almost too late.
This was one of the songs that got me through our nearly month long experience of our Black Summer Fires. Thank you
Powder finger, we want you back 😭😘😘😘! Love 💘💘😍
Magical song and a masterful performance. Absolutely brilliant
Somehow even though it's been almost 6 years since their last performance I still feel really sad that such a great amazing band like Powderfinger has broken up. At least they ended their career with quite possibly the best way ever by finishing off on such a great song like this one. Hopefully, one day maybe in years time when they're all old they'll reunite for one final farewell tour before disembarking on their musical careers all together.
