Straight Lines is about Daniel John also the lead vocalist/guitarist of the band and his recovery from depression, anorexia and numerous other problems. What I love about Straight Lines as a song was its energy and drive, whilst an analyst may find fault in the rather corny introduction of the mixolydian in the chord progression I personally felt that adding the mode it achieved the desired result of a enhanced and more powerful song. On a production level I enjoyed the minimalism in the piece and the fact that isn't overproduced, minus some standard double tracking and the introduction of some pads and strings I felt that musically speaking it sounds and feels like a three piece band. Anyway I hope you enjoy the song as much as I do!

Song Of The Week - Straight Lines
Although this probably may come as old news to you guys, for me at least I just found out that Silverchair are on something of a permanent hiatus. Though I may not be enamored with every song in the their rather large and diverse musical portfolio I really like their release of Young Modern in 2007 which like all other albums went multi-platinum in Australia.
