Sliding from indie pop to country and a host of genres in between, the band evokes modern artists such as Fun., Grouplove and Edward Sharpe And the Magnetic Zeros, whilst having their roots in the music of Neil Young, The Byrds, The Beach Boys and Fleetwood Mac.
Part 60's Laurel Canyon, part 70's Venice Beach and part 10's Silverlake, the band and the harmonies are held together by their message of universal love, peace and the belief that the highest form of consciousness is achieved by togetherness and unity.
Uplifting, collaborative, joyous and communal, their songs are a walk through their life thus far: Meeting each other ("Hi Hey There Hello"), experiencing together ("San Francisco", "The Great Divide", "I've Been Around"), fighting and making up (“Colin's Song”), emerging stronger ("Carry Your Will", "We Are Free") - their message is finding a foothold with fans from every walk of life, bringing people together under one roof to celebrate each other.
Automatic
The Mowgli's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somewhere in the back of my mind
I knew I needed you
And you needed me, and we'd see it through
We′ve been through everything
Seen things you can't believe
Now we can see the truth
Something ′bout our love is automatic
Never really know until you′ve had it
It's automatic
It′s automatic
Never really know until you've had it
It′s automatic
I can't get enough
Automatic love
Some people spend their whole lives
Looking for something that they won′t find
You know I believe in you
You believe in me and we'll see it through
I feel like there's nobody around sometimes
Then I look at you and I realize
As long as you′re around, you know that I don′t mind
Something 'bout our love is automatic
Never really know until you′ve had it
It's automatic
It′s automatic
Never really know until you've had it
It′s automatic
One, two, three, whoo
Something 'bout our love is automatic
Never really know until you've had it
It′s automatic
It′s automatic
Never really know until you've had it
It′s automatic
The Mowgli's's song "Automatic" is a tribute to the power and beauty of true love, and the way it can transform our lives when we least expect it. The lyrics speak of the singer's journey to find love, and the way they knew deep down that they needed someone to share their life with. Through the ups and downs of life, they have managed to stay true to each other and build a powerful bond that can withstand anything. The chorus of the song, which repeats the phrase "Something 'bout our love is automatic" over and over, reinforces the idea that this type of love is rare and special, and that once you find it, you should hold onto it tightly.
The verses of the song expand on the themes of love and commitment, with lines like "I feel like there's nobody around sometimes / Then I look at you and I realize / As long as you′re around, you know that I don′t mind." These lyrics suggest that even in the midst of loneliness or difficulty, the connection between two people who love each other can provide a powerful sense of comfort and resilience. The song's bridge, which features a catchy whistle melody, is a fun and upbeat interlude that emphasizes the joy and spontaneity that can be found in a loving relationship.
