2. Emo/screamo from Hobart, Australia. http://www.facebook.com/bearspunk
3. A punk band formed in Waltford, England in 1976 by ex Wire guitarist George Gill. Originally a wacky punk band called Smarter & The Average Bears they sang about dodgems and other zany things. Like Wire they went in for minimalist song riffs but unlike Wire clearly had a sense of humour and the absurd. Take a look at Fun, Fun Fun their contribution to Farewell To The Roxy about dropping bags of flour off tower blocks on peoples heads and compare it to the other songs about snipers, getting yourself killed, living in a car and so on. The Bears suffered from infrequent recordings, line up changes and personal disasters which is a shame because they were a bit special and should have had more success. Punk wasn't all about anger and shouting and The Bears showed some real individuality.
The rest of the band comprised Kris Kershaw (again ex Wire), Ron West - Bass guitar, Cally Cameron - Drums and Mick North on Vocals.John Entrails replaced Mick North after he was killed in his motorbike in 1977.
4. Bears! is an ambient musician from Raleigh, North Carolina, who has a strong emphasis on Minimalistic and Psychadelic themes in his songs. He currently has released a split with the artist [praw], and will have more albums released within the year. His official website is: www.myspace.com/bearsnc
Walk Away
Bears Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll have your doubts about me, and spend your time alone
He's making a fool of you, why can't you understand?
He just can't stand the thought of you with another man.
You've got something I want, I can't just walk away
You've got something I need, and what else can I say?
I've told you what I want; the rest is up to you.
I've spent the whole time thinking about what could have been
You're scared to take the chance, so I just remain your friend.
You've got something I want, I can't just walk away
You've got something I need, and what else can I say?
I've told you how I feel, that's all that I can do
I've told you what I want; the rest is up to you.
You've got something I want, I can't just walk away
You've got something I need, and what else can I say?
I've told you how I feel, that's all that I can do
I've told you what I want; the rest is up to you.
The lyrics of Bear's song "Walk Away" convey the desperation of a person in a one-sided relationship. The persona in the song cannot imagine living life without their partner and begs them not to leave them alone. However, the partner seems to have doubts about the persona and spends time alone. The persona tries to convince their partner that the other person is making a fool of them, and they cannot stand the thought of them being with someone else.
The persona feels like they need their partner; they cannot walk away since the latter has something they want and need. They have expressed their feelings and what they want, and it's up to the partner to decide. The persona has been thinking about the possibilities of a relationship with their partner, but the latter is scared to take a chance. Therefore, the persona accepts being just friends with their partner despite their feeling for them.
Overall, the lyrics express the persona's deep feelings and the challenges they face trying to connect with their partner. They are powerless since they have expressed their feelings, and the ball is now in their partner's court.
