1) Harem Scarem is a Rock band hailing from Ontario, Canada, formed in 1987. They renamed themselves Rubber in 1999 and released two albums under that name. In 2001, they went back to the Harem Scarem name. In the Summer of 2007 they announced they "will officially break-up after one more studio album." They would reform in 2013 and has released four more albums since then.
2) Harem Scarem emerged from Melbourne's mid-80's indie scene, but, it could be argued, were closer in sound to classic Australian blues-rock from a decade before (Dingoes, Coloured Balls, Chain, Rose Tattoo etc.). Their sound was infused with a heady mix of punk spirit and Stax soul that also made them contemporaries of the likes of The Gun Club and the Beasts Of Bourbon.
Harem Scarem first appeared on the Melbourne Psychobilly compilation “Asleep at the Wheel”. They soon developed (via the “Dogman” EP and some key line-up changes) into a powerhouse live act, where Christopher Marshall's extraordinary, passionate vocals combined with Charlie Marshall's stonesy guitar.
With the classic line-up of the Marshall brothers, Barry Palmer (guitar), Glen Sheldon (bass), Peter Jones (drums) and Chris Wilson (harmonica & sax), the band went into the studio with producer John Archer (Hunters & Collectors) and emerged with this, their masterful 1986 album: Pilgrim's Progress (now re-issued by Aztec Music http://www.aztecmusic.net/)
3) Harem Scarem is a Scottish contemporary folk band http://www.haremscaremscotland.co.uk who have collaborated with Will Oldham AKA 'Bonnie Prince Billy'
Honestly
Harem Scarem Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Accused of many crimes
But I want to believe
That love can still survive
You don't have to say it,
I don't have to read your mind
To know the emptiness
How was I,
To know the right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken,
So where did I go wrong?
Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
Words will have more meaning,
If they're said at certain times
Now the all they've seen
I found to be a lie
How would you know it,
You won't give me sometime
To see if everything could work out,
And you'll be mine
Oh, will love be lost forever
But someday I will find
The world we've all been searching for
Or just some peace of mind..
Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
All the night I sit and wonder
Must be more to laugh, I'm sure that
Days and years gone by while I am
Living with the..
Oh, lonely feeling
Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
The lyrics of "Honestly" by Harem Scarem captures the vulnerability of the singer standing accused of numerous crimes with no defense but love, which he believes can still survive amidst the emptiness they are currently experiencing. The singer admits to not knowing the right from the wrong because hardly any words were spoken, and he questions if love will be lost forever but still holds onto the hope of finding the peace of mind they are both searching for. The song projects the essence of the singer's desire for honesty from his partner, wanting to know if they still love him as they did before, and if there is a possibility of working things out so that they can be together again.
