LYRICS
[Intro]
In all you've seen, what was it that came down on me that night?
A conjuring; I held on to that moment and lie just to make it alive

[Verse 1]
I stood out there in the covering
In the baskings of a holy night
And I was lucid and conscious
And hovering like a firefly

My mind stretched out on the canopy
It put its arms out slow
And I heard the whispers of silence
Floating down from the radio

[Chorus 1]
So come on, come on, I'm ready now
I got that feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll
You see, I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
'Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul

[Verse 2]
I saw the light from a kettle gun
Sixteen days under a southern sun
And there were times when I thought that
I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there

You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
The things I saw, were enough to make the man in me a man of me

Mm, make a man of me...

[Chorus 2]
So come on, come on, I'm ready now
Go get your things out, honey, let's get ready to roll
Oh, I can feel a wave coming over me
I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go

[Bridge]
As a child, I was wonder eyed
At the thought that I might know
A life in the ecstasy of rock n' roll, oh
Woah-oh, I'm not taking it slow, oh, oh

I'm an arrow in a bow, oh, oh
You think that I don't know, oh, oh

What it is that makes it glow, oh, oh...

[Chorus 1]

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.
