Scars On 45 - Give Me Something Lyrics






I carved your name
In an old oak tree
But the council chopped it down
'Cause it was filled with disease

And I sent you a thousand messages
But not a single one came through

Please
Give me something
Something to hold onto
Give me something
That links me to you
Give me something
Something to hold onto
And I'll wear your wedding ring for a lifetime

I've seen a place
Where your fingers lock with mine
But the view it disappeared
As my alarm clock hit the time

And I've made a million wishes now
But not a single one's come true

Please
Give me something
Something to hold onto
Give me something
That links me to you
Give me something
Something to hold onto
And you'll wear my wedding ring for a lifetime

Please
Give me something
Something to hold onto
Give me something
That links me to you

Give me something
Something to hold onto
Give me something
That links me to you

Give me something
Give me something
Give me something
Just give me something

    Who’s still listening in 2019?!!

  3. �.... ....

    彼ら、こんなに素晴らしい曲たくさんつくってる割に知名度が低い?なぜ?
    もっともっと視聴回数伸びても良いと思うんだけど。
    すごく日本人に好まれそうな曲だとも思うけど。

  4. L.... R....

    Great Sound. Puts me in mind of nickel creek.

  5. P.... J....

    Hi Scars on 45! I do not know if you'll ever read this comment, but I really like your music. Thank you for making such great music =)

  6. Y.... V....

    Love the Band!

  7. T.... S....

    Fuck me, I went to school with the drummer. These guys have talent but it's a bit crap

  8. N.... W....

    Dedicated this song to my grandparents

    N.... W....

    Dedicated this song to my grandparents rest in pieces together at last😭

  9. D.... m....

    anyone watching in 2018?????

    D.... m....

    Dear-walker mercy started listening to it in may when my dad died.. Now i listen to it on the day he died.

    D.... m....

    leafer1103 sorry about your dad man, i feel you

    D.... m....

    Discovered, still watching, & appreciating in 2019.

  10. l.... ....

    Watching in 2018!!

  11. I.... C....

    I remember hearing this for the first time as a kid but never being able to find it. Finally Finding it made me so happy.

  12. L.... D....

    Two people who love each other will always be connected by that experience. God, I’m in tears at this. Sad ending, but happy lifetime together.

  13. D.... R....

    Music like this got me true serious jail time awesome song

  14. A.... ....

    You guys are truly incredible. I heard you when you were at Spur Wing and your music gave me goosebumps. I will definitely support you buy purchasing your music. Thanks for your hard work to entertain us :)

  15. I.... T....

    Absolutely in love with this song

  16. W.... M....

    am I crazy or logical for thinking all this time he said "I carved your name in an old oak tree, but Tecumseh chopped it down"

    (William Tecumseh Sherman)

    he was known to burn things down, maybe he chopped them down too?

  17. J.... C....

    Where in Socal did they film this video???

  18. t.... ....

    I've gotta say, this is beautiful, but I prefer the older version - I know you guys did this because you wanted to change the song's vibe, but I honestly loved the soft, melancholy feel of the old version. That's just personal preference though.

  19. F.... F....

    i cryed alot

  20. P.... R....

    I heard this on the radio today so I looked it up. nice tune. definitely had a moment like that before. I didn't understand the last part of the video. Maybe it's because I didn't get much sleep and I was watching the video while preparing food. so can anyone explain what happened in the end of the video?

    P.... R....

    Yes...the old woman had died..and the man walked away sad... in reality, the old woman who was cast for the video didn't bother to show up for the shoot...they were supposed to be reunited... so the reason you didn't understand was not your fault :)

    P.... R....

    @KelticMist thanks for clearing that up.

  21. Y.... S....

    who watch it in 2016 !

    Y.... S....

    Yosh Syiha been watching since 2015, still watching in 2017!

  22. N.... M....

    I agree...AMAZING!!! I saw them as a warm up band at Janis Landing St. Pete, FL and fell in love!!!! Loved them more than the band I originally csme to here😯

  23. S.... K....

    damn he was beating dem drums

    S.... K....

    Chris is an amazing drummer!

  24. S.... K....

    I love this video

  25. S.... K....

    this song is amazing still listenin in 2016

  26. J.... B....

    Really like this group & their unique song. I too hear a lot of Fleeetwood Mac.. who in my eyes do no wrong. :)

    J.... B....

    Fleetwood Mac is definitely a key influencer of this band. I love them too.

  27. B.... G....

    *One song and I'm hooked. I have to say, I'm a huge Stevie Nick's fan and I hear a lot of Fleetwood Mac in your style, a sound that's kinda "On The Fence", meaning a little pop, touch of country, mid-America rock. If you get what I mean. Now the bad news and by no means am I a professional critic, but only a possible reason your not topping the charts.... I think the time isn't right, if this came out post 9/11 you would be everywhere, the charts are now controlled my other mediums besides music itself, meaning...and this makes me throw up a little in my mouth, shows like the Kardashians, TMZ even CNN, it seems whatever person that is in the music industry who is also sensationalized for every other thing OTHER then the music, they are the ones on the charts, at least the contemporary charts. You have a classic, authentic and great sound, you all look great on camera and perhaps when the bubble pops of this nonsense of reality shows making relentless talent-less people stars and millionaires, you guys have made enough money to stick with it and the world will find you. Personally I think your sound should have been on several movie soundtracks already, it just has that feel. I hope you dont mind, but I may copy and paste this in your other videos. Thanks for listening and perhaps I am totally off on my thoughts. P.S. I was a club DJ back in the 80's and was wondering if you got your name from the music remixers called "Stars on 45", which was famous for remixing non dance (Disco for the time) songs and remix them adding elements for the massive explosion of dance clubs in Europe right before communism fell as well as the niche market of gay nightclubs which where the most exposure was. I was just wondering if it was a fluke or you knew of the group of producers called Star's on 45.

  29. T.... C....

    Found this song by typing GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WATCH cuz I was bored. I'm glad I found this song

  30. L.... O....

    oh, hi breana.

  31. A.... G....

    They are so refreshing!

  32. p.... ....

    THIS is true talent. THIS is music. 1,000 times better than the crap that the "pop music" industry spews out.

  33. J.... L....

    what a great song and band. why isn't this song wining a grammy?

  34. K.... ....

    Love this song <3

  35. I.... S....

    How am I just now discovering them? So far I am digging the mellow vibe with good harmony.

    I.... S....

    because they have not came out with anything new in a while

    I.... S....

    +Ione Shaver
    I just found them now after their cover of miley cyrus' wrecking ball was aired at grey's anatomy.
    And I am glad I did, liked every song I heard from them so far.
    Maby this presence at grey's speeds up their popularity, I really wish them to!

  36. a.... ....

    Still curious if there's significance to the black spot on the old man's sweater approximately near his heart or if it wasn't inentional

    a.... ....

    @***** @ajiatrow its a logo blurred out

  37. B.... D....

    Where is the video filmed? I saw a tree like that in Derbyshire, England at the 9 Ladies Stone Circle, and there was an Oak tree there, with many 'offerings' also hanging from it.

  38. K.... ....

    No--he carved J & A so far as I can read. 

  39. K.... ....

    Wait, the name he carved in the tree was "Job"?? What...

    K.... ....

    KadaBetts no I think it said J+B

  40. 0.... ....

    george bush

  41. J.... ....

    Can't wait to hear the new LP!

  42. g.... g....

    great song

  43. R.... B....

    Goddamn... the part with the old man always gets me. I'm SO afraid that is going to be me someday!

  44. S.... ....

    It's all interpretation, man. Yours is just as good as mine, the most important part being how it makes you feel, so if you enjoy it the way you want to see it then hey why not. It's a nice video either way.

  45. S.... ....

    Sure, but I don't think that just because it's a 'melancholic' song it can't end happily; especially as that's how they intended it to. The song has a simple subtext and that is holding on for something and staying hopeful, even for a long time. My original comment that you replied to just shows that I, personally, think of a happy ending, not a pessimistic one.

  46. W.... N....

    SliceThePie brought me here!

  47. A.... ....

    Love this band, but whoever decided to put mics in front of them is an idiot. Their faces are covered! It's a video; you don't need mics!

  48. j.... ....

    british ,,brilliant ,just great!!!! the uk scene needed some thing new ,will be looking out for a portsmouth tour date .

  49. D.... R....

    Me too, after slice had to go search and find more from these awesome musicians - really wonderful talents, had to give them top ratings, what a great band !

  50. L.... m....

    I like this band, honest, in style and true good music. This song is fab!

  51. L.... S....

    filled with *disease

  52. A.... J....

    the "blah blah brought me here" comments are getting out of hand on every music video for every song on youtube. please, fellow youtubers, stop giving them thumbs up

  53. R.... ....

    Was given this song to rate on Slice the pie, must have stood out cos I remembered the lyrics and came to find it, naughty but I don't care. I have it a good review and although it's not my usual style of music I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work lads!

  54. S.... B....

    After Heart On Fire I didn't think I'd hear anything better... I was wrong

  55. D.... ....

    ...I guess that makes more sense...

  56. k.... ....

    disease*

  57. R.... R....

    I wish I had something to hold on to

  58. D.... ....

    "I carved your name in an old oak tree
    but the council chopped it down 'cause it was filled with the seas"

    ...Huh?

    D.... ....

    "Filled with disease..."

  59. S.... ....

    If the old lady actress would've shown up then we'd have had a happy ending..

  60. l.... ....

    I cried.

  61. l.... ....

    Excelllent!! True Artists! Love It!

  62. r.... ....

    Their best song yet!

  63. N.... t....

    That old man reminds me of Walter Bishop. :(

  64. l.... ....

    That's not a bullet hole, lol. It doesn't even look like one. That's where they blurred out the logo on the sweater for legal reasons.

  65. l.... ....

    29 pages of comments about the story line of the video, and I can't believe no one mentioned the bullet hole in the man's sweater, upper left chest, right over the heart. Pause it @ 3:07, just as he's standing up under the tree... and how does that fit into the story?

  66. M.... C....

    @lwxvcka yeah all my friends thought I was crazy buying all these courses i spent every dollar i had try to work out how to profit online. but hard work pays off because i ended up finding the method that pays better than any job. if you take it seriously you can have an income in days read this >>> bit.ly/NVgfWy?=zhjup

    Saw these guys at Leeds festival a few days ago.

  89. W.... ....

    "This song in particular seems to be about a widower, evidenced by the line: "I'll wear your wedding ring for a lifetime." It makes the metaphor about the old oak tree even more poignant, that he thought their love would last forever but didn't count on her getting sick and dying. It's very sad.

    My favorite line is in the second verse: "the view it disappeared as my alarm clock hit the time." indicating that she haunts his dreams.

    But all these feelings have to go somewhere I suppose... "

  90. a.... ....

    The story is like awwww! T__T
