Boy & Bear - Southern Sun Lyrics
In all you've seen
Was it that came down on me that night
A conjuring, I held on to that moment and lie
Just to make it alive
In the baskings of a holy night
Oh I was lucid and conscious
And hovering like a firefly
My mind stretched out on the canopy
It put its arms out slow
I heard the whispers of silence
Floating down from the radio
So come on, come on, I'm ready now
You see I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
'Cos I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
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, make a man of me
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
As a child I was wonder eyed
At the thought that I might know
A life in the ecstasy of Rock n' Roll
Oh I'm not taking it slow
I'm an arrow in a bow
Oh you think that I don't know
What it is that makes it glow
So come, 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
'Cos I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul

Boy & Bear Southern Sun Comments
80's big hair rock bands is my favourite music . I don't like much modern music but this song is catchy!
Bro looks like Tom Hanks lost son lol
God I love this f&^%ing song! I heard it when it came out and just dropped in on it again and it still rocks.
Looks like Torlesse/Tussocklands area!
Every band has a leader.
Anyone listening in 2019?
I work part time at a Goodwill. That is where i discovered this song, over the radio there. I can be in the worst pissy mood and this will come on and ill instantly smile.
Happened today.
I LOVE THIS SONG lllll if you enjoy camping and geting away
Sick song
My first major crush told me to check out this song, amidst all the times I told her to check out music I liked.
That was over 5 years ago. I honestly didn't think I'd like it that much (I guess back then I assumed most of my friends had a crap taste in music), but instead I was pleasantly surprised. And after recently rediscovering it, I can say this song will have a special place in my heart. It also reminds me how much I miss her.
I first heard this one year ago in Shake Shack in Dubai where I was with my son for my 50th....it's class.
F ck I love this song.....
I hear so many bands within this band and sounds and instruments played like the late 80's and early 90's Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Icehouse.
Great tune
Beautiful tune put together Guys 🖖🤘👍
Somehow this gem reminds me of , or sounds like (guitar chorus?) Silver Stallion by The Highwaymen (Kristofferson, Cash, Jennings, & Willie Nelson). YouTube it.
i stumbled across this randomly. nice.
And the best dressed band is Boy and Bear.
grrrreat artists and awesome lyrics
I wish this album was available on Spotify
Genius.
I wonder where this was filmed?
New Zealand South Island Otago region
Don't know where the video was filmed but I want to be there
sucks that it isnt avaible in itunes philippines. been waiting for years :/
I remember my dad playing this on the way to school I sang it all day
This song is so good to fuck to
Just discovered this band a few days ago. I downloaded an alternative playlist on Apple Music and this was one of the songs. It just randomly played while I was driving and I almost forgot where I was going....I just got lost in this song!
So, what is a "Kettle gun"?
Wanna learn to play this on electric guitar. Can’t find it 😢😢😭😭
Been listening to Boy & Bear for a few years now, never knew they were from Australia! Very interesting, I can never tell where people are from when they sing lol
I discovered you and you made a fan for life!!!
LOVE this song. In fact, I love the whole album.
If you do not get a nostalgic sense from this, I don’t know what will give you it
Did this get regular US play? I work part time at a Goodwill and this is on their music station that plays and how I discovered it.
Listen to it every chance I get. One of my faves!
This is a war on drugs ripoff
What in the hill Billy tarnation's yeeee haaawwwww *slaps knee*

LYRICS:
In all you'll see
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.
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
So come on, come on I'm ready now
I got the 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 bed of my soul.
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 in me, make a man of me
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 the wave coming over me
I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go
As a child I was wonder-eyed at the thought that I might know
A life in the ecstasy of Rock'n Roll
O-oh-oh i'm not taking it slow
I'm an arrow in a bow
You think that I don't know, what it is that makes me glow
So come on, come on I'm ready now
I got the 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.

Great song. Video has shades of The Cures Pictures of You...
Such a pretty video, but why only 480p? Why?
Kind of reminds me of Angus Stone and his solo album. I think it's the voice. But, I can't quite put my finger on it. 🤔
I am in love with David's Hosking's voice <3
Hang loose dudes. Great song......love it.
So many argumentative people. Just enjoy the music
This is great
