Broken Social Scene - Halfway Home Lyrics






You said we're halfway home
You said survive
You said we're halfway home
You said survive

Come right
Into the sunlight
'Cause I see their cold eyes
I fear they still grow
Like it was so what
As if it's so much
All through my fallen face
End to end

You said we're halfway home
You said survive

This is my horror time
This is my fallen fate

'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

You said we're halfway home
You said survive
You said we're halfway home
You said survive

Dreams change and I know that I'm gonna die
But I don't need what I know now
You were beautiful my love
I see what I wanna hear

(Come right) If you don't believe in headlights
You won't get caught in the mighty
(Into the sunlight)
It's the same no matter what we have here
('Cause I see the cold eyes)
It's crossfire it's the blazing fears
It's fall end to end
(And I fear they still grow)

And you'll forget
Call out for a change
But not believe in anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
And not believe in anything, anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
Not believe in anything, anything
You will forget
Call out for a change
And not believe in anything

'Cause if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive
Yeah if you never run, never run
How they gonna catch you alive

    Okay, after Hug of Thunder and this, I've heard enough!
    They better have this album at Walmart! -now that HMV is no more :'(

  16. B.... ....

    The second I heard the punching bass I immediately stopped what I was doing, and instantly went to my car to blast this song.
    For this song makes me forget the world around me and makes me feel things I thought I locked away a long time ago.
    Welcome back, BSS.

  17. J.... P....

    i want to live inside this song

  18. N.... D....

    these hipsters want to be arcade fire so bad

  19. S.... R....

    That drum beat is fucking brilliant to listen to

  20. S.... ....

    Still so fucking great

  21. V.... 4....

    Why are the likes and dislikes not being shown tho? lol

  22. b.... ....

  28. p.... ....

    This needs a video... all of the members in a large room dancing around!

  29. H.... 8....

    Great music! I wish the vocals stood out a bit more though. The music stands on it's own but WOW how much better it would be to our listeners if we could actually hear you sing like you did in Skyline. Just sayin'

  30. T.... ....

    love the music

  31. E.... S....

    Thanks! You make me happy. Please, come to Brazil!

  32. M.... F....

    This is my first time hearing these guys, and I feel like there has been a conspiracy my entire life to prevent me from hearing true musical art. I can now die a happy man, while this song plays in the background. Thank you.

    M.... F....

    I felt the same way about 6 years ago when I first discovered them. They are insane live also.

    M.... F....

    Yall late and suck goodnight

    M.... F....

    I suggest then you listen to the radio...the wuscification of America is ongoing...weak music...

    M.... F....

    Tras siete años de silencio discográfico después de "Forgiveness Rock Record" (2010) los canadienses sacan disco, con doce temas, y nos desvelan dos de las nuevas canciones. "Hug of Thunder" saldrá a la venta el próximo 7 de julio. Los adelantos me dejan un grato sabor de boca: "Halfway Home" es una pieza apabullante llena de capas de sonido y coros celestiales, mientras que "Hug of thunder" es la sutil canción que da título al disco y en la que colabora una vieja amiga: Feist. En el nuevo trabajo también participan otros artistas invitados: Metric, Emily Haines, James Shaw, Amy Millan y Evan Cranley (Stars).
    A propósito del lanzamiento, Kevin Drew ha indicado: “Queríamos que esto fuera unidad, y queríamos que este sencillo fuera todos nosotros. Y eso es lo que es. En este momento y en el estado en que se encuentra el mundo, lo único que sabíamos es que podíamos volver como amigos. […] Era importante para nosotros unirnos porque es la única cosa que podemos hacer políticamente en este momento…” En el disco participan los quince miembros originales de Broken Social Scene, además de la vocalista Ariel Engle, recién incorporada.
    "Hug Of Thunder" tiene todo lo que los fans de Broken Social Scene aman del colectivo de Toronto que nació hace ya veinte años: perfectas melodías vocales, arreglos muy cuidados y un gusto marcado por la épica. Una banda que siempre canta a la esperanza, así que su regreso es ahora más necesario que nunca.
    Música independiente novedades.

  35. D.... M....

    Fucking Youtube adds!!

  36. D.... M....

    Why put a dam sportbet add before your music? ruins the whole experience!!

  37. J.... B....

    legends thank you friends can't wait to see you guys in stl
    Kevin cancelled his last show here

  38. A.... C....

    So proud to be a part of this with you guys!

    A.... C....

    you weren't a part of it. you just listened to a song

    A.... C....

    I play in this band as part of their new line up. I was asked to join about a year ago. Look it up on wikipedia

    A.... C....

    oh, cool. Well you guys sound great

    A.... C....

    that would be a trip to see you on stage with BSS @Alex Calder. I've been diggin' yer solo stuff for quite some time. Was bummed you canceled a show at Mahall's in Lakewood, OH about a year ago :^(

  39. P.... ....

    This stactatto female vocal at 02:55 is so catchy, my god

    P.... ....

    I wanna say Feist is on that there part with one of the other singers. It is jubilant.

    P.... ....

    Oh of course the incomparable Ariel Engel is singing the lead part there!

  40. O.... F....

    Good day.

    #OdedMusic #OdedFriedGaon #Audioded

  41. c.... c....

    This is a great song! Thank you Rich Terfry.

  42. c.... c....

    Amazing!!

  43. b.... ....

    Welcome back, friends.

  44. C.... A....

    Love love love! If anyone wants a look at BSS's vast discography, I have a playlist where I've tried to collect just about every song they've ever done. Once this album is released, it may very well amount to 150 songs.

    If anyone is wondering as well, BSS's upcoming album is 'Hug of Thunder,' it releases July 7, and you can hear 30 second samples of every track on the album on Music Today.

  45. N.... S....

    😍 yaaaay!!!!

  46. Z.... F....

    Chills ...

  47. C.... ....

    I've been searching for this song for 2 weeks now after hearing it on the radio.. I'm so happy I finally found it!! This song is FUCKING AMAZING!!

  48. E.... ....

    Welcome Back.

  49. S.... T....

    Thank you thank you thank you yessss.

  50. P.... H....

    The kind of music that gives you chills every time you listen

  51. T.... U....

    what took you so long

  52. V.... ....

    So glad to hear they have really stuck to their core sound after all of these years. Legends...

  53. B.... F....

    Don't really like this.

  54. A.... G....

    well worth the wait, but please bss, don't make us wait this long next time

  55. N.... T....

    Pretty great comeback song. Has all the BSS hallmarks and reward repeated listens. The vocals from Ariel at the end elevate it.

  56. M.... W....

    Well worth the wait. A consistent, triumphant and powerful comeback. I'm a happy man.

  57. D.... A....

    I was about to believe we'd never hear any more from them. I'm happy to be wrong.

  58. J.... K....

    Not quite the old broken social scene I fell in love with, but I fell very hard in love so every thing they do I'm on board with. This is at least a little more accessible so I'm happy that they'll probably get the recognition they've always deserved.

    J.... K....

    Jeffrey Kazanjian They've always had accessible songs tho, Sweetest Kill and Half Crimes come to mind

    J.... K....

    Maybe so. I think this is a little more accessible than those though. Just my opinion.

    J.... K....

    That's fine, and I can see that. They've also been described as "Baroque Pop" but this is the most directly "pop" they've ever been. Which I don't think is a bad thing, I actually really love the song 😊

    J.... K....

    the second half of the song has a very BSS-esque feel

    J.... K....

    The shape of the arrangements is very particular to this band I think. Not hyped in any way. Very colorful and arty instrumentation here for a 'rock' band, though never feels contrived.

    I mean each song has its own energy. This one is exuberant, yet I don't think BSS ever really write songs that function as instruments of commerce. They instead write songs that don't fatigue the listener. All their albums, they don't sound dated.

    The song Hug Of Thunder is just perfectly arranged to support the sound of Feist's voice and the shape of the vocal melody lines. There's nothing there that doesn't need to be, and for all the dynamics the track has its sounds are still all remarkably soft and fine.

  59. P.... ....

    got here from anthony fantano. it's alright

  60. P.... H....

    It is worth waiting for 7 years if the result is such a brilliant song. I can't stop listening to it once and again.

    P.... H....

    skyline changed my life earlier....first day i ever heard it. thank God. Never even HEARD of them until today. Something had been missing from my life

    P.... H....

    They. Are. The. Best.

    P.... H....

    me too! where have they been since I was a kid? Halfway Home is inspiring, though a bit deceiving tough to pull off acoustic with all the separate parts

  61. M.... M....

    This song is tremendous. Welcome back, Broken Social Scene!

  62. J.... ....

    7 años.

  63. w.... j....

    Sounds like having a fight in the car

  64. D.... C....

    xoxoxoxoxo <333

  66. A.... G....

    I LOVE IT!!!

  67. b.... f....

    Brilliant!

  68. K.... A....

    This is great. (:

  69. t.... ....

    this sounds like a big party i love it

  70. x.... b....

    Paris vous attend de pieds fermes ! Welcome back

  71. D.... J....

    OMG AWESOME GUYS!!!

  72. P.... D....

    We're back to broken!

  73. i.... k....

    yaaaayyyy!! they do sound like a mix of coldplay and keane now tho

    i.... k....

    I hear more of The National rather than Coldplay and Keane.

    i.... k....

    I can think of a thousand more bands they sound like before Coldplay, Keane, and even The National. More importantly, they still sound very much like Broken Social Scene. And have been more consistent over the years than any of those other bands.

  74. I.... S....

    A much appreciated return to form from a legendary group.

  75. B.... ....

    This band is so great and so underrated...

    B.... ....

    I wouldn't say they're underrated though.

    B.... ....

    Yes, I would. All your friends and peers must be cool. Step outside your circle and have a look around! ;)

  76. F.... G....

    Missed you so much!!!! Welcome back guys <3

  77. N.... M....

    feelshuge

  78. A.... B....

    Fawk yeah!

  79. l.... A....

    yaaaaaaaay

  80. A.... ....

    huge song

  81. K.... R....

    Tres bon! As per usual.

  82. G.... S....

    nice song

  83. P.... ....

    After all this time, they still don't disappoint.
