Creating music that has one foot in the indie genre and one foot in a darker electronic realm, Crooked Colours’ sound has often been compared to a combination of English indie-rock foursome Alt J and US electronic duo Crystal Castles.

To date the band has been fortunate enough to play at Parklife, Wonderland and St Jerome's Laneway festivals, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Flume, Grafton Primary and PNAU. 2013 also saw Crooked Colours support RÜFÜS on their sold out national tour.

Crooked Colours will be releasing their 'In Your Bones' EP featuring their hit track 'Come Down' in May this year through Sweat It Out Music! before a full Australian tour in July

I'll be there
Crooked Colours Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you're holding on
Feeling shallow
Doors are always closed
Away, golden arrow
When the phone is calling, the rain is pouring
I still follow

'Cause I'll be here for you

When you're feeling dried with the brittle lies
Ocean calling
Feel them, feel them die, there's no one home
Can't help falling

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

And I'm calling your fire
And we'll burn tonight
Still calling your fire
We'll be alright

I'll be here for you
I'll be here for you

When you made the call
Do you feel no better?
When you said it all
It feels no clearer

I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
And I'm calling your fire
And we'll burn tonight
Still calling your fire
We'll be alright

I'll be here for you
I'll be here for you

The first verse speaks about feeling hopeless and stuck, with doors always closed and an ocean that is calling. But even when the phone is ringing, and the rain is pouring, the singer still follows their loved one. They want their friends to know that in times of darkness, they will always be there for them.

The chorus reaffirms this promise of support, with the singer saying "I'll be there for you" as a mantra to their struggling friend. The lines "And I'm calling your fire / And we'll burn tonight / Still calling your fire / We'll be alright" show that the singer wants to reignite their friend's passion and energy. They want to remind their friend that even when they are feeling lost and directionless, they have someone by their side who will lift them up and help them find their way again.

The second verse acknowledges the inevitable pain and hurt that comes with life's challenges. It talks about feeling dried up from the lies and feeling like there is no one home. But the singer reiterates their commitment to being there for their friend through thick and thin.

Overall, "I'll Be There" is a touching tribute to friendship and the importance of having someone to lean on during tough times.

Do you feel no better?
Feeling like nothing has changed even after reaching out

When you said it all
When you shared everything on your mind

It feels no clearer
Still feeling confused and lost
