The Triffid's 1986 song Wide Open Road is a few years after yesterday's Wild Swans song and from the other side of the world but seems to be cut from similar cloth. It's a big break up song, a tearjerker, less claustrophobic than The Revolutionary Spirit, but it has a yearning, outward-looking, questing feel in common. The Triffids were just one of several Aussie bands in the 80s who were pulling all the stops out.
