Lyrics:
Your hurting I can tell by the way that you move
you got your head on your chest and your chest in your mouth
you don't look so good
There'll be change cos this ones too big not to see
but brother your scared and I'm scared when you're scared
cos you ain't supposed to be
So I scream out loud
Just to get out my way
Cos I got the animal I got the beast on a leash these days
So you don't go wandering back down the black to that awful place
cos help is well on its way
you taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way
There's a light sound that comes around
Like a raven in flight
A shivering child as the car windows left open overnight
See I watched it light up the moon again
then I watched it all disappear
Oh tether of life won't you shepherd me home again dear
So I scream out loud
Just to get out my way
Cos I got the animal I got the beast on a leash these days
So you don't go wandering back down the black to that awful place
cos help is well on its way
you taught me too much to sit back and watch you this way
Oh I've been back down the black now before
and I won't watch you this way
Oh my legs don't work and my limbs will hurt
as my body aches to take the weight that's been thrown down on top of you
like you would do to
repeat
About The Band:
'(Boy & Bear) bring their '70s inspired pop-folk vibes, combining lead vocalist Dave Hosking's signature glorious vocals with bass lines full of attitude along with cinematic melodies that resonate throughout any venue' - LeftLion UK.
The Sydney 5-piece first garnered attention when they uploaded their song The Storm to triple j Unearthed in 2009. Their debut album Moonfire (2011) reached double-platinum sales, won five ARIA Awards and three songs in the triple j Hottest 100. Their sophomore album Harlequin Dream (2013) achieved platinum sales and the #1 spot on the ARIA Album chart staying in the top ten for five weeks. They followed up with Limit Of Love (2015), resulting in their second ARIA #1 album debut.
After touring the world multiple times, the band became Splendour In The Grass favourites, performed on Conan O'Brien, and sold out two Sydney Opera Houses. This iconic Australian band returned with their triumphant release, Suck On Light, in 2019. In 2020 they released At Golden Retriever Studio, a series of stunningly stripped-back versions of some of the most loved songs of their career.
Boy & Bear's trademark live performance warmth and charisma was experienced by over 65,000 people this Australian summer. Crowds grinned from ear to ear as they joined forces to sway together, sing their hearts out and reminisce on their fondest memories.
Having now wrapped their tour, the band return to the studio to create music for expected release next year.

Yep Fosters when adorable Jude and Conner kiss. "Why did you kick me at all" Must have watched that clip a million times on KZbin. Beautiful song and a touching show :-D

[@Jonas-vl8xk]

I just have to say that this is one of my favorite songs of all time. I think I was 15 or 14 at the time when I heard this song at the fosters. The scene was special for me as a gay boy who've never seen two boys kiss before, but it became even more special when I heard the song and its lyrics. The summer I discovered the song and the show I was feeling so alone, no-one who understood or to talk to. And if I haven't discovered the song or the show I would today have looked back and thought of that summer as so depressing and sad. But because of the feeling the song now gives me, I dream of going back and experiencing this all over again. To this day when I listen to the song it gives me a feeling of I dont really know, just magic. I feel these weird, but amazing feelings in my whole body. I tear up and feel so relaxed. Im just so grateful that you made this song. I can't really explain it. Im so thankful. Thank you!
