The accompanying minute-long video features “South On Ya” playing over footage of previous SEC games, and paying tribute to every state in the Southeastern Conference. “If you come around here, better bring it ’cause we’re no doubt gonna put a little #SouthOnYa,” Combs captioned his Instagram post with lyrics to the track.

We are simple beings, it seems to say, made and broken by small moments, and powerless against the tide of our own emotions.Luke Combs and the SEC Network recently revealed a previously-unreleased track, “South On Ya,” as the new hype song for SEC Football. It is, without a doubt, the best break-up song ever created: not just a ditty about dwindling affections, but a searingly precise evocation of human fragility. The music is post-punk at its minimal best, a sparse synth hook adding a touch of optimistic light to the shade of Curtis’s themes. For listeners, though, its eternal chorus – ‘But love, love will tear us apart again’ – says everything there is to say about the mixed pleasure and pain of being in thrall to another human being. ‘When routine bites hard / And ambitions are low / And resentment rides high / But emotions won’t grow / And we’re changing our ways / Taking different roads…’ The lyrics are ostensibly about Curtis’s relationship with his wife, Deborah, but they also refer to the inner rifts that contributed to his fragile psychological state and his eventual suicide in May 1980 – a mere five months after this track was recorded. ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ is Curtis at his most melancholic, and the ultimate chronicle of a relationship’s breakdown. The lead singer of seminal Manchester band Joy Division, Curtis was one of indie rock’s greatest losses – a troubled genius who let his shyness fall away onstage, but lived his personal life in quiet agony.

They were not, in other words, Ian Curtis. Their lyrics never fully summed up the paradox of attraction and repulsion, or the bittersweet pang of nostalgia that comes when something beautiful is dying. Sting gurgled, ‘If you love somebody, set them free’, and Bono wailed, ‘I can’t live with or without you.’ But neither of them got close to the exhausting, depressive reality of a tortured love affair.

This song should only be listened to late at night in a dimly lit room, on your own, with the rain obscuring the view of the city lights outside your window – allow yourself to let go, boo your eyes out, think of every unrequited love that’s ever stayed with you and twisted you inside out, and then let Hay’s smooth voice and resigned agonised lyrics articulate every ounce of pain inside. It’s nigh on impossible to listen to ‘I Just Don't Think I'll Ever Get Over You’, with its exquisitely haunting story of love and loss, without welling up and shedding a few tears. Although Scottish-born Australian Hay might be best known for his work with Men At Work and their monster good-time hit ‘Down Under’, his later work has revealed a sensitivity and melancholy that is at times both beautiful and heart-wrenching.
