Birds Of Tokyo - Anchor Lyrics

I adore this song ...it is on my high rotation list...

I am so glad these guys are from good old Perth. Same with Tame Impala. Brisbane gets Violent Soho, who are also awesome.
Not gonna mention the older bands like jet, the vines and more coz context

Interesting makeup choice 🤔

Ayeee, I hope this song stays underground and rare.

I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM.

"never thought youd be a wanker" is the version i sing at work lol

Just discovered this great song. How was this not a bigger hit?

Pure talent 🍻🇦🇺🍻

Aussie fishos will appreciate this more than most.

Everytime I listen to this song it reminds me of my uncles funeral

0:01 So this is what the Creeper from the movie series "Jeepers Creepers", gets up to, in between murdering teenagers in the midwest USA.
I guess we all need a bit of quiet reflection/introspection from time to time.......sigh...

True Talent.

We can’t cry forever....we missed each other .....that is because we are not entitle to each other...

I don’t know what it is but something about this song is so addicting, I can just listen to this for hours and not get tired of it, it’s so damn addictive and I love it

I used to be obsessed with song, can't believe I completely forgot about it 😣😨

Brilliant song, brilliant musicians

👏🤟🙌👍🤙

Ok Kyle

Can't sing along to this without tears welling up.. Not sure if I'm the perpetrator or the object. Or maybe just the observer who has been in both roles.It's very beautiful.

This song this goes hard just remembered about it

2019 anyone? 😛

God I'm glad I found this video....I thought this guy was singing about someone being a Anker over the public radio

This is so underrated :(

Sometimes you hear a song for the first time, you fall in love with the melody before you get the lyrics, and you know then and there, it will always be on your playlist.

Is it me or does this song sound like a INXS kind of vibe!!?? Either way I'm loving the shit out of it! It's fkn awesome ✊✊

2018 and still getting good vibes 💖💖💖

Song of the 21st Century !

This plays on my school bell on rare occasions and I would always freak out to find the song. I have finally found it.

Budgies make poor anchors

One of my favorite songs

2018 and its still the best

Who is still here. Why you stop making music

My Favourite One hit wonders 👍👍👍

2018?...

Still listening!

Accutate

I hope there's a chipmunk version of this song It's never been uploaded

That music sounds nearly like underwater music Who appreciates this song

I love this band and its music it is soul searching, and profound Gabby Croftsxx

It’s 2018 and this song still hits something deep inside me

I love this song

2018?23/04/18

Epic tune - sad , but epic........

I'm actually happy that the songs I listen to don't receive as much attention as the likes of Katty Perry or Nickie Minaj. That way I feel different and remains exclusive from the rest of the world.

Anyone here 2018?... or am i alone at such a great song?

absolutely love this song

I hope that's just milk.

The video is a bit weird.😌😌

now i feel thirsty .

To anyone who's feeling low, please don't swim alone, know that you are enough. In time you can heal & be your own anchor, but for now, know that you are worthy of love no matter what you've been through or how broken you think you are. So speak loudly & clearly to family, friends & mental health professionals. Keep reaching out until you find the love & support you need to make yourself whole again ❤.

this song is SO good

I'm always the anchor

Christine Adkins I saw these posts & also the one about your husband. Sadly I relate to this song much more than I'd like to. Getting support from a partner is great but in the end each person needs to gradually work at making themselves whole & if they're not getting the support they need from a partner then they need to seek additional support, especially psychologist. To anyone who's feeling low, don't swim alone, know that you are enough. Keep reaching out till you find the support you need ❤

My man never thinks I need an anchor.

So reminds me of a relationship I'm in now .... well done birds of toyko

This song has it all! Tells a story unlike 99% of the music released these days

Reminds me a little of the opening to Roxy Music's "More Than This".

One of the best songs ever made........maybe top 5 ever in history.....

If there is a top five with one song from ian, it’s definitely a Karnivool song

Would love to see the bloopers for this video - would be hilarious

this means so much t me my hubby died and this song sais all. thanks for the words  o  o

i love this song its great as todays music of course, haha,

Aussie music like this makes me proud to be Australian.

they're at the surfers paradise beer garden tonight ;)

Coming back to get my fix of this great music. Need this today <3

Best Birds Of Tokyo song by far. In my humble opinion, of course.

I FUCKIN' LOVE THIS SONG. BIRDS OF TOKYO RULE!

Yes! I've found it! I heard it on the radio on my car today and had to quickly text the lyrics to my email account. Hopefully I can download it from iTunes.

Mr B can we ever sort this out??? Love you xxxoo

I saw the music video while I was swimming... I got in trouble for asking what the song was, so I never forgot it.

Wonder if he got his teeth whitened especially for this clip.

Gotye really tried a different style this year...

My playlist includes such things as style, substance, story, stance, seriousness, salaciousness, sobriety and SENSATIONAL.. ness. Anchor!!

THIS IS ALL ON ME!
((ALL ON ME!))

The dreamy synthesisers take me away.

took me 4 months of painfully, occasionally hearing this song on the radio, not knowing what its called to find it. :)

If you have a smart phone check out the app, SoundHound. It's pretty great.

Joe -_- gosh don't you hate that when you hear a song and your like holy shot this is good and you try everything to find the song name. Shit gets intense

Samesies. I'd always tell myself I'd remember the lyrics and google it when I got out of the car and then I'd forget 😑

I saw these guys live last week in melb what an amazing act they probably sound better live the vocals have so much air and cutting guitars drum and bass are tight as a fish's ass and there loud I'd love to see them in an arena I've heard there sound rigs are made for that a breath of fresh air 🍻👈

i never pretend . but i never that u might need anchor ilk

Fuuuuck! This video, and song,......so so so so.....moving! I have watched it 20 times plus, can't really explain it. The video is TOTALLY pertinent, soooo we'll done guys! My hat goes off to you...........👏😉💙

Hmm, a year later, I never thought that I'd dedicated it to anybody other than my fur-brother Ranger...but, this is now also for my sister and the ex-partner that she still loved and he committed suicide just last week...sigh...this song also reminds me of just how tired I feel...why must life be so hard?

Preaching to the choir

im so sorry to hear :( stay strong and god can reverse this pain in the next life. but plz stay strong and dont give up keep living life to the full

I absolutely love this song. Every time I hear it come on the radio, I turn it up.... But this video... is just weird.

i feel like i heard this song when i was a kid

Never can get through this song with dry eyes.

Yeah me too. it is awesome

so underrated.

Awesome video of an awesome song!!!!!!

what's that white stuff? I hope it's milk...

it's water, the light is reflecting off of it, giving it a white appearance.

Everything about this song and video is amazing.  2:11 and onward is really good...actually 0:00 and onward...

Usually you find the best underneath all the bullshit!!

i looooooooooooove you vivichan

What an epic fucking song. Love it

so sorry thomo, I still love you please forgive me, if you only knew how much I regret parts of our relationship

Listen to the chorus of this song, and then that of Astronauts,etc- Gravity

Crazy, but both are such rad songs

I agree - it should have been a bigger hit! (even the DJ commented what a Great song it was - at the time!)
I cannot stop repeatedly listening to it!... it is crafted so well! balanced, fluid, poetic... full of meaning and emotion (regret of love - lost) This would be one of the BEST songs I have heard in quite a while!

great song, should have been a bigger hit than what it was

They should play their music on Canadian radio stations; would be an instant hit here!

I love this song

I just randomly found this and I love it.. More people should hear this.. maybe post it on some radio station forums or have so popular youtube channel do a dish on it.

What a song

Loving this!

So pure..

i love this song .. i think the lyrics spoken are somthing we have all felt before in relationships failed and thought of again later... somthing taken for granted at the time and realised later but to late .. damage done

This singer has so much soul and depth to his voice it would be easy to begin to believe the answer is an anchor, what ever you say sexy man, but in reality, anchors are weighty

Rock Melon he jailed for

best song ever
