Although Hearsay TAO is young, the band is growing very quickly. Even though they are still in high school, they have opened up for national acts, such as P.O.D., Guano Apes, Clutch, and some of the area's largest local bands, like Fringe, Innercorse, Workhorse Movement, Forge, and more. They will be recording an ep soon that will be available on this site and local record stores.
Hearsay's musical intensity is only matched by a stage show, full of kung fu, spooky interludes, and band members losing it on stage. If you haven't seen them yet, you're missing out on some phat shit that allows you to take out your aggressions among (or on) friends.
Shelter
Hearsay T.A.O. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Village lies half asleep
Tulips bloom, cars go by
What a gorgeous place to dies
But we're young; life is for us
So we smoke
In the bus shelter that's a nightclub to us
Motorbikes, cans of beer
Dirty jokes our culture here
Who said what, who's a slag
Who got caught with Kieran's dad
Oh we're young; life is for us
So we smoke
In the bus shelter that's a nightclub to us
In Hearsay T.A.O.'s song "Bus Shelter Nightclub," the lyrics describe a typical Friday night in a small village where there isn't much excitement. The singer describes the tulips blooming and the cars passing by, painting a picture of a peaceful and serene place. However, the youth in the village find their own excitement by hanging out at the bus shelter, which has become their own little nightclub. They smoke and drink and tell stories, and engage in some playful banter about their fellow villagers.
The scene is not exactly glamorous, but it's relatable for anyone who has ever been a teenager longing for some excitement in a small town. The lyrics also touch on some of the darker elements of small-town life, with mentions of dirty jokes and rumors about who's been caught with whom. Despite this, there's still a sense of youthful optimism and the idea that life is for living, especially while they can still enjoy it.
