You can preview tracks at their Myspace page: http://myspace.com/pulltigertail or get their second single "Mr 100 Percent" (released as a free download on December 11th 2006) for free from their website.
Third single, "Let's Lightning" was released Monday March 26th 2007.
The fourth and final B-Unique single, "Hurricanes" was released on 11th June 2007. An iTunes error prevented the single hitting the Top 40, and because of this, B-Unique dropped the band and kept hold of the debut album, resulting in Pull Tiger Tail being involved in a lengthy legal battle to get it back.
In 2008 their official website was relocated to http://www.pulltigertail.net from its old .com address due a spammer stealing the .com address.
On August 18th 2009 after much delay Pull Tiger Tail's debut album "PAWS." was finally released, only for the band to announce that they would split after a mini-tour. The digital-only b-sides and rarities album "The Lost World" was released on 14th December, supposedly an iTunes exclusive, although it has become available on 7digital with different artwork. In 2010, Jack Hamson became the drummer for the folk group Noah and the Whale after the band's drummer Doug Fink left to pursue a career in medicine.
Hurricanes
Pull Tiger Tail Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The neighborhood heart skipped a beat
Oh the trees folded up and they shook as we drove down the street
I said to myself we're finally getting away,
When we come back I know that they'll all look the same
Now let's go to our city
And we'll change over night
Oh why would we, it's too good a time
A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh, can anybody tell me where the damage is
On the day that we left the phones and the power were down
Oh the wind doubled up and it slammed every door in the town
You cried and you screamed, you played faith in the war
When it was done the magic had left with the storm
Oh we moved to our city
And we changed over night
We won't think about leaving
Now why would we it's too good a time?
A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh can anybody tell me where the damage is?
Above our waistlines and beneath my skin
Your not afraid to dig those fingernails in
We don't need our childhood
I'm so sure now I was there
By the time the winds have erased us
Oh I may as well have lived here with you if anywhere
A hurricane hit
While we were missing
Oh can anybody tell me where the damage is
Above our waistline and beneath my skin
Shes not afraid to dig those fingernails in
In Pull Tiger Tail's song "Hurricanes," the lyrics depict a couple leaving their hometown and all that is familiar to start fresh in the city. They remark on how everything will seem the same upon their return, and how they're not worried about leaving, as they're having such a great time in the city. However, while they're away, a hurricane hits their hometown, causing destruction and chaos. The lyrics express a desire to know where the damage is and a sense of guilt for not being there to help.
The chorus of the song repeats the haunting line, "A hurricane hit while we were missing. Oh can anybody tell me where the damage is?" This line expresses the feeling of helplessness and the desire to be there for their community during a time of crisis. The song ends with the lyrics, "Above our waistlines and beneath my skin, she's not afraid to dig those fingernails in." These lyrics reveal the depth of the couple's relationship and imply that they will weather any storm together.
Overall, "Hurricanes" by Pull Tiger Tail is a song about the power of nature and the importance of community. It reminds us that we are all connected and that our actions and choices have consequences not just for ourselves but for those around us.
Line by Line Meaning
On the day that we left
The day we left our neighborhood
The neighborhood heart skipped a beat
The neighborhood felt a sense of sadness and loss
Oh the trees folded up and they shook as we drove down the street
The trees looked like they were saying goodbye as we left
I said to myself we're finally getting away,
I thought we were finally leaving for good
When we come back I know that they'll all look the same
When we return, the neighborhood will look unchanged and we'll feel like we never left
Now let's go to our city
We're moving to a new city now
And we'll change over night
We'll transform ourselves completely and instantly
We won't think about leaving
We won't even consider leaving
Oh why would we, it's too good a time
We're having too much fun to even consider leaving
A hurricane hit
A natural disaster occurred
While we were missing
While we were gone
Oh, can anybody tell me where the damage is
I'm wondering where the damage from the hurricane is
On the day that we left the phones and the power were down
There was a power outage and the phones weren't working the day we left
Oh the wind doubled up and it slammed every door in the town
The wind was so strong that it closed every door in the town
You cried and you screamed, you played faith in the war
You were emotional and believed in the future
When it was done the magic had left with the storm
When the storm was over, the sense of wonder and enchantment was gone
Above our waistlines and beneath my skin
Our connection is visceral and deep
Your not afraid to dig those fingernails in
You're not afraid to show your passion and commitment
We don't need our childhood
Our childhood is not important anymore
I'm so sure now I was there
I'm confident about my memories of childhood
By the time the winds have erased us
By the time we're gone
Oh I may as well have lived here with you if anywhere
I feel like I've spent my whole life with you, even if I haven't
Above our waistline and beneath my skin
We're deeply connected physically and emotionally
Shes not afraid to dig those fingernails in
She's not afraid to show her passion and commitment
