The Academic - Bear Claws

[@nola2159]

No joke, the singer/guitarist Craig gave me guitar lessons when I was young

[@swampertblaziken1]

Woah. How old is he now?

[@nola2159]

Acnologia don't know exactly but early 20's

[@shinferatttu]

nola215 he looks like he could easily be 16

[@Annafyz]

he turned 24 last October

[@LilChuunosuke]

nola215 If he gave you guitar lessons when you were young, then you're still young and/or it didn't happen very long ago

[@Big.H]

Any one still listening to this banger?

[@typicalfurry2747]

Suuuurerrreeeeee

[@Auzzie015]

[@awangchanda9082]

[@WooperTrooper2]

[@tara7994]

HernamesGabija yeah and I couldn't find it 😂 until now

[@stevenwong184]

[@mattwinfield2843]

Steven Wong If you're in Ireland It's constantly on TodayFM, other than that they aren't very well known outside of the Irish Music scene

[@McGriddle69]

Not any radio I’ve been listening too but I live in the mid west so Idk if it’s hit us yet lol

[@rapid_meme_god]

[@keesoyo3957]

Yeah

[@dracozhao5320]

[@meetaverma8372]

Still pretty underrated

[@jethrosketch]

Takes me back to the days when Indie was just alternative music like Semisonic and Weezer.. even the video reminds me of the 90's.. love it

[@jesuisfudgeman874]

Such a good song. I'm not going to elaborate, because I can't do this song any justice. It's just... it's just perfect.

[@JuanFusterFims]

my impeccable music taste brought me here

[@theninjapro7648]

[@johncollins5552]

I went on a pubcrawl in Mullingar with friends in 2015 and saw these guys playing covers like the Pixies, they were great and so young but I enjoyed talking to them after they finished. Great guys, great talent, so glad they are doing great things .

[@TheMelthar]

Great song boys! I am so happy I met one of you guys father when I ordered a taxi in Dublin. When I asked him to play some Irish music, and he played your songs... Never gonna forget that! Fell in love in a split second. Good luck further!

[@steveriggs8421]

[@applex2767]

i remeber going to see them live when not really many ppl knew about them tye nostalgia i lovee this song sm

[@rawrlol3326]

I know it's a little old-fashioned Holding hands, now start your romancing Show me all your flaws Show me your bear claws Go rip your heart out tonight You don't have to be cool to make me shiver Look in my eyes, can I make this any clearer? Just a late-night girl, calling through a phone She never really loved you so just leave her alone Your mama says it's over when you come through the door Saying, "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth?" Ay, oh, I'll never let you go Ay, oh, I'll never let you go You say goodbye as if you're leaving on a plane And you've seen the clouds and how the shapes are so strange And not a boy in the backseat, staying in the backseat Tryin' to make sense of it all He's saying, "We were such a good thing, we were such a good thing How could you let this fall?" Take all my money and meet me on the sidewalk If you don't show then I'll know Just a late-night girl, calling through a phone She never really loved you so just leave her alone Your mama says it's over when you come through the door Saying, "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth?" Ay, oh, I'll never let you go Ay, oh, I'll never let you go Show me all your flaws Show me your bear claws Go rip your heart out tonight You were just a late-night girl, calling through a phone She never really loved you so just leave her alone Your mama says it's over when you come through the door Saying, "That's enough of you, now won't you shut your mouth? That's enough of you, kid, now you're going south, love" Ay, oh, I'll never let you go Ay, oh, I'll never let you go Ay, oh, I'll never let you go (show me all your flaws) Ay, oh, I'll never let you go (show me your bear claws)

[@lorenaalbina7883]

My boyfriend turned me to this song... and I'm so glad.

[@daraotl5187]

If you guys aren't at LEAST as big as the Coronas in the next two years, I'll... idk be mad or something. Song of the summer two years in a row, in my opinion

[@tara7994]

Dara Otl they are amazing I heard this on the radio and have been searching for it ever since. Thank god I found it.

[@Pumbear]

The coronas aren't big.

[@daraotl5187]

Sander and you're not fun at parties.

[@Pumbear]

Your idea of a fun party is people telling you the Coronas are big?

[@pkmnyellowog]

xD Haha.

[@Silvermac27]

A GREAT FUTURE for these Irish lads from an ordinary Irish country town in the Midlands of Ireland,great lads.

[@monicashirley6024]

Your band is the BEST EVER dude

[@windchaser4979]

I remember listening to this song with my father and sibling when I was younger . I was looking for this song for a few months now but I finally found it ! Absolutely love it 💙

[@JorgePradoCasanovas]

[@izzy-n5y]

Ye are one of best bands to come out of Ireland in the last couple of years, up there with Kodaline and the Coronas, and 2010-11 era The Script. If you guys aren't as big as the Coronas this time next year there's something seriously wrong with people.
