After losing a demo contest on belgian alternative national radio Pure FM and receiving a true enthusiastic response, the two boys got more sure of themselves and decided to show the people what they are up to. In october 2005 they opened shyly for Saint Thomas at Brussels Botanique Club. A few month later, they are back as a support act for Belgian band Venus and The Tellers are truly another group, Ben and Charles show the arrogant talent of the ones that come from nowhere. Okay from nowhere indeed, but you have to reckon that they don’t show up holding anything in their hands...
Ben has a voice that gives you thrills as
Charles is taking care of all subtle acoustic arrangments, the Tellers fire at you with laidback ballads, melancholy tunes,...beauty.
Their third gig was at the Nuits Botanique festival in Brussels, they’ll play the Dour festival and a couple summer gigs around Europe.
They’ll have a 7-track-mini album available in june, lend them your ear... or even both...
(2) There is at least one pre-existing artist with this name, a power-pop/ pub rock group from Brisbane, Australia fronted by Damien Garvey. They released 2 albums, a cassette-only release in 1991, and CD "Flex" in 1992, and enjoyed a loyal local following.

The Tellers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You looked at me the other night.
Now, landscape is passing slowly infront of my headlights.
Oh hey no, you don't need me, no x 2
More, give me more
and give me more,
Little whore.
One day you'll see I'll probably become me.
Oh hey no, you don't need me, no x 2
Live in a bubble,
Slip on the curls,
I will never understand girls.
The Tellers in their song "More" talks about a person who may be feeling guilty for being with someone knowing that the other person may not need them or may not feel the same way. The singer is aware that the other person may not feel the same way and probably just sees them as a friend, but they can't help how they feel. The line "I guess I'm a fucker cause I saw how you looked at me the other night" highlights how the singer may feel guilty for wanting more from someone who may not want the same thing from them.
The lyrics "Live in a bubble, slip on the curls, I will never understand girls" may suggest the singer's inability to understand women despite their desire for them. The line about living in a bubble may suggest a sense of detachment from reality or being in one's own world, which may be the reason for not understanding others. The singer is aware that their desire for the subject of the song may be in vain, as they may never fully understand them or be with them in the way they want.
Overall, "More" by The Tellers is a song about unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. It highlights the struggle of wanting someone who may not feel the same way and the guilt that follows. The lyric "give me more and give me more, you know I'd die for you, little whore" suggests that the singer is willing to do anything to be with this person, even though they may not feel the same.

Well, I guess I'm a fucker cause I saw how
You looked at me the other night.
I feel guilty that I noticed the way you looked at me, which implied some kind of attraction, and now I feel bad about myself for it.
Now, landscape is passing slowly in front of my headlights.
I am driving alone and feeling lost in thought, with no clear path forward.
Oh hey no, you don't need me, no x 2
I understand that you do not require my attention or affection.
More, give me more
and give me more,
You know I'd die for you,
Little whore.
I crave your attention and your love, even though I am aware that I am being used and that you do not feel the same way about me.
One day you'll see I'll probably become me.
I hope that one day I will become confident in myself and no longer feel the need to seek validation from others.
Live in a bubble,
Slip on the curls,
I will never understand girls.
I feel like I am unable to connect with or understand women, and I am trapped in my own inner world.
