If This World Was Made For Me - Martin Phillipps' final farewell

"If This World Was Made For Me" is a song by the historic New Zealand band The Chills, formed in 1980.

The single is part of their posthumous album "Spring Board: The Early Unrecorded Songs".

The band's frontman, Martin Phillipps, worked on this project for a long time, collecting unreleased songs written by him during the early years with The Chills... until his death last July. He was 61.

"If This World Was Made For Me" is a melancholic and reflective track, its lyrics were written by Martin Phillipps almost 40 years earlier.

Fun fact: The Chills had a turbulent life and in its 40-year career had more than 30 musicians. The only permanent member of the band was Martin Phillipps.
