Bull began performing in and around Sydney in the early 2000s, eventually getting the attention of producer Tony Buchen in 2004. Buchen, having worked with other successful acts such as Blue King Brown, Macromantics and The Whitlams, felt that Bull's style of music required different approach to recording, and the two experimented with older recording techniques such as analogue.
Wanting to develop Bull's talent further, but still nurture his individual style, they then travelled together to New York City, where they produced and mixed songs for Bull's debut album at the Electric Lady Studios. Bull signed to Island Records, a part of Universal Music Australia, in 2007. In 2007, Bull supported Joss Stone on her Australian tour and, in 2008, increased in popularity by being played regularly by the radio station Triple J.
Bull's debut single was released in August 2008. Entitled "Small Town Girl", it was taken from his debut album We're Too Young. In 2008, Bull toured with Garage to V winners, Little Red. His first headlining national tour commenced in late 2008. A music video was also made for "Young Man," the second single from the album. Bull would continue to tour extensively in support of the album throughout the rest of 2008 and 2009, notably joining Tim Finn's national tour as an opening act, performing solo as opposed to with his six-piece band. He also opened for a MySpace secret show in Sydney featuring U.K. neo-soul singer Duffy in that same year.
In May 2009, Bull toured in support of Lisa Mitchell's Australian tour, prior to the July release of her Platinum selling debut album "Wonder". During the tour, Bull performed his support set solo. For her own set, Mitchell was to play guitar, accompanied by bass player Jan Bangma and drummer Robert Vasey. Before the second show of the tour, however, Mitchell's hand was cut in an accident. Due to Mitchell's injury, she was unable to play guitar and so Bull stepped in, learning the set on piano in lieu of the guitar parts. Bull played in the band for the remainder of that tour, fomenting Bull and Mitchell's friendship, which would lead to their collaboration on Bull's song "Dog" the following year.
In September of 2009, Bull released "We're Too Young", the recording of which had been completed the previous year with producer Tony Buchen. The album enjoyed a good critical reception, including a 4/5 star review in Rolling Stone Magazine.
Nothing Is Wrong
Andy Bull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me the season is complete
Love me in your way and I will be tender
I am here, i will stay
There′s not shelter from the daylight
There's no comfort in the night
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is wrong
Hold me softly in your loving arms
Tell me the season is complete
Love me in your way and always remember
Always that I have been summed to stay
There′s not shelter from the daylight
There's no comfort in the night
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is wrong
Nothing is wrong
The lyrics to Andy Bull's song "Nothing Is Wrong" convey a sense of longing and vulnerability within a relationship. The singer is seeking comfort, affection, and the assurance that their love is reciprocated. The opening lines, "Hold me softly in your young arms, Tell me the season is complete," reflect a desire for physical and emotional closeness. The singer wants to be embraced tenderly and assured that their love is enough.
The repeated line "There's no shelter from the daylight, There's no comfort in the night" suggests a feeling of insecurity or unease. It implies that even in the light of day, there is no protection or solace to be found, and similarly, the night brings no respite from these feelings. This could indicate a lack of stability or trust within the relationship, leading to a sense of uneasiness and uncertainty.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Nothing is wrong," serves as a reassurance to both the singer and their partner. It can be interpreted as an attempt to convince themselves that despite the challenges or doubts they may face, their love is strong, and everything will eventually be alright. It captures the longing for emotional connection and stability, as if repeating the affirmation will make it true.
In summary, "Nothing Is Wrong" delves into the yearning for emotional security and acceptance within a relationship. The lyrics reflect a desire for love and tenderness, while acknowledging the inherent challenges and uncertainties that can arise.
