KALEO - Backbone [OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO]

[@Truthteller024]

Kaleo is easily one of my all time favorite bands. When the plague is over, I know exactly what concert I'm going to.

[@deadsofa]

They are scheduled to be in my home town July 4th. I've seen them twice live hope I can see them a third time. Damn covid19 ruining my summer concerts.

[@nyckboy06.cortes94]

Tudo bem

[@kawtharbakhach5848]

scheduled to be here july 2nd and nope

[@EGlVM]

@@deadsofa OMG I've got tickets for the same show! I'm dreading it getting cancelled, I haven't had the privilege of seeing them live yet. Fingers crossed

JJ Julius Son easily has one of the best voices in music. Incredibly rich, soulful and raspy. Beyond captivating.

Favourite band ever! Kaleo is saving music and making history. Genuinely making music for the love not the fame. Kaleo, please come to Australia!!!🇦🇺🍺

[@aslhankaplan9983]

I wish!

[@KaterinaV]

They are truly amazing!! One of my absolute favourite bands!! They have come to Greece and I have seen them!! They are truly amazing!!! Now I want so bad to see and hear Vance Joy up close!! I am also a really big fan of his music!!

[@jacobunderwood4691]

If they come to Australia I’m gonna be in the front row

[@MimirYgg]

👌👌

[@emeraldkat2167]

Kaleo and Lake Street Dive are my 2 fav newer bands. Both insanely talented (2 distinctly diff styles though) and both clearly love what they do. I also give props to Radiohead. Still making insanely good music and still around after basically everyone else from their early years faded away.

[@valrichards654]

This beautiful song just about made my heart burst and tears were streaming down my face the first time I heard it. My beautiful boy is currently in EOD special forces in the Air Force. His pain has been my pain. His triumphs have been my triumphs. His loss, my loss. My son has been tested in ways most people could never imagine let alone go through and has grieved over fallen comrades. I think the pain runs deeper losing young friends to suicide because of the strain our young military men/women experience. I pray, I believe my son will never lose his heart of gold. We all suffer. We all face loss and pain. We all search our souls and question if we have the strength to continue. This song explores those depths.

[@rebeccadees2300]

Beautifully said...thank you for sharing. I understand the song more now...very powerful.

[@SipNStir]

I honestly feel as if every song they write is perfect for sitting on a mountaintop, just singing to the moon.

[@RachelHardingHill]

OMG that voice! Need I say more? Well yes. Can't believe that Kaleo are still relatively unknown and not getting the recognition they deserve. Even heard them in a trailoeer for a UK TV series The Responder, but no recognition in support! Very sad, because a voice like JJ's is totally unique, and I just bloody love it!

[@valeriaolivares7400]

I was having such a terrible day.. and then i saw that you posted a new song. Thank you Kaleo! my day is shining again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your songs

[@kirstenlogan5175]

Hold the line, aye Do you fight for pride or glory? Do you hold your scars close to your heart? Fall behind, aye Who will live to tell your story? You were taught to leave no man behind I don't know where you've gone You used to be the heart of this town Now you waste your tears on someone else I don't know where you are now You used to have a heart of gold Only trust yourself and no one else Hold your fire, aye Brave young men will fall before they Ever get to watch their young ones grow Hear me now, aye Carry all my sins and I will Learn to love the flag and nothing more Oh, I don't know where you've gone You used to be the heart of this town Wasted all your tears on someone else I don't know where you are now You used to have a heart of gold Only trust yourself and no one else Oh, no one else Woah Woah Yeah, you've got your back against the wall Say, where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother? Where's your backbone, brother?

[@jasonrich4940]

This song is a man returning from war broken, after he saw one of his friends die on the field, and someone is asking him where his resolve went and telling him to man up when they can't begin to comprehend what he went through. It ends with the broken man repeating the phrase to himself. At least that's what I got

[@lrdleaid5644]

I wonder if they decided to release this song early because of what others are going through right now. This is probably one of Kaleo's most emotional songs, and it reminds me a lot of "Save Yourself" and "I Can"t Go On Without You" from A/B
