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.
Say It Just Say It
The Mowgli's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Despite what anybody says
Cause it ain't enough to mean it
When you feel it once
And you know it
So just say it
And you were just sitting quiet in the back of the car
But your eyes, they sold you out again
They always do, so say it
Just say it
I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
Been talking about it until I killed my voice
But it didn't change a single thing
It's that simple truth
That always means the most to you
And you know it
So just say it
And we were spilling wine on your best friend's bed
When you said this was ridiculous
And you kissed me just because
You knew it'd shut me up,
All right well then say it
Just say it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Baby won't you stay awhile?
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
I'm begging you baby,
Won't you stay awhile?
I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been
Waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
The lyrics to "Say It Just Say It" by The Mowgli's speak about the importance of direct communication in a romantic relationship. The first verse states that the singer wants to believe in their love once again, despite others' opinions. The singer wants their partner to express their love for them instead of just feeling it once. The chorus pleads for the partner to communicate their feelings, and declares the singer's devotion to the relationship.
The second verse has the singer recalling a moment in a car ride where their partner's eyes betrayed their true emotions. The pair were drinking wine when their partner admitted the relationship was "ridiculous" but then kissed the singer which was a quiet affirmation of their feelings. The song ends with the chorus and the suggestion for the partner to stay a little longer.
Overall, the song highlights the importance of expressing one's feelings directly in a relationship rather than relying on subtleties or assumptions. It also suggests that simple acts of affection can be potent enough to sustain a partnership.

I wanna believe in your love again
I want to have faith in your love once more
Despite what anybody says
Regardless of what others may say
Cause it ain't enough to mean it
Saying it isn't adequate
When you feel it once
If the feeling only comes once
And you know it
And you're aware of it
So just say it
Then just express it
And you were just sitting quiet in the back of the car
You were just silent in the car's backseat
Just sucking on your cigarette
Just smoking your cigarette
But your eyes, they sold you out again
However, your eyes betrayed you once more
They always do, so say it
It's always that way, therefore voice it out
Just say it
Voice it out
I will take your side
I'll support you
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
You make me feel like I've waited for you forever
And I could die
And I'd willingly pass away
To find that simple kind of love
To find that modest expression of love
You can't deny
Which you can't refuse
Been talking about it until I killed my voice
I've talked about it until my voice became hoarse
But it didn't change a single thing
But it didn't alter anything
It's that simple truth
It's that uncomplicated fact
That always means the most to you
That always has significance to you
And you know it
And you're aware of it
So just say it
Then just express it
And we were spilling wine on your best friend's bed
We were unintentionally pouring wine on your best friend's mattress
When you said this was ridiculous
When you announced this was absurd
And you kissed me just because
And you kissed me for no reason
You knew it'd shut me up
You were aware that it would silence me
All right well then say it
Okay then express it
Say it like you mean it
Speak it genuinely
Baby won't you stay awhile?
Dear, won't you stick around for a bit?
I'm begging you baby,
I'm urging you, my love,
Won't you stay awhile?
Won't you remain for a bit?
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
You make me feel like I've waited for you forever
And I could die
And I'd willingly pass away
To find that simple kind of love
To find that modest expression of love
You can't deny
Which you can't refuse
Just say it
Express it

Yeah, I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
I wanna believe in your love again
Despite what anybody says
Cause it ain't enough to mean it
When you feel it once
And you know it
So just say it
And you're just sitting in the back of the car
Just sucking on your cigarette
But your eyes, they sold you out again
They always do, so say it
Just say it
Or at least kiss me just to shut me up
I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
Been talking about it until I killed my voice
But it didn't change a single thing
It's that simple truth
That always means the most to you
And you know it
So just say it
And we were spilling wine on your best friend’s bed
When you said this was ridiculous
And you kissed me just because
You knew it'd shut me up
All right well then say it
Just say it
I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
Baby won't you stay awhile?
Say it like you mean it
Say it like you mean it
I'm begging you, baby won't you stay awhile?
Yeah, I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting
Feel like I've been
Yeah, I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
I will take your side
You make me feel like I've been waiting my whole life
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
And I could die
To find that simple kind of love
You can't deny
Just say it
