Read Full Bio ↴The Teskey Brothers is an Australian soul blues band formed in 2008.
The band came to be from seeking blues and roots of the greats from an early age when exposed to musicians such as Peter Green, Otis Redding and Ray Charles. The boys would watch closely in awe as their teacher, Sam Linton Smith, performed at St. Andrews pub on a Sunday, the very same St. Andrews in which Josh and Sam Teskey set up to busk as boys. Thus began the musical convergence of Warrandyte Blues-Soul and everything in between. And when brought to Melbourne CBD, people actually move to live music – a phenomenon that’s camera worthy.
Josh Teskey fronts the band with his smooth vocals and rhythm guitar. Evocative of Donny Hathaway, Teskey reaches out to play with his audience, ushering them through the emotional room of each song’s mind with airs of love, ardor and desire; creating an atmosphere you thought you were born too late to ever experience.
Joined by Sam Teskey on lead guitar and backing vocals, these brothers will have you rocking from side to side until you’re dancing, and then giggling at the absolute sublimity of the moment. Teskey will have you pink cheeked and stress free with his flirtatious solos and flattering, fatherly tones.
Along with the Teskeys, you’ll find the unflustered Brendon Love on bass. His instinctive and cool, calm and collected nature is what drives the hips of the audience and transports the energy in and out of high spirit to deep soul. Love is love, and love is bass.
Liam Gough completes the ensemble with his metronomic technique and veteran beat keeping. Gough’s talent effectuates the amalgamation of funk and blues, inspiring the music itself by teasing the fluidity with his heartfelt punctilious pulse. This drummer might as well be the only drummer you know.
Through gifts bestowed upon the family (and farm-ily) band, such as; BB King, Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye, they share with us city dwellers dynamics within a live sound that only clean country air and years of diverse varieties of live gigging can provide, and I’m not just saying that because I’m wearing overalls and ate my chicken.
The Teskey Brothers are an important affirmation of something we have always loved and something we hope to never loose – Home, Rhythm, and Blues.
Rain
The teskey brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or are you crying again?
Would it be the same
If I could hold you my friend?
I know it's hard
To be alone
A soul with no face is a lonely embrace
But I know it's hard
Now there's clouds
Between us all
And the road ain't so clear
But we can still walk or crawl
But I know it's hard
To be alone
A soul with no face
Is a lonely embrace
And I know it's hard
And I know it's hard
To be alone, to be alone
To be alone, yeah yeah
Oh so little
Come to me now
I wanna hold you
In any way I know how
Oh we're flying now
With the powerful owl, oh
I'm gonna hold you
In any way I know how, yeah
But Is that rain?
Or am I crying again?
A soul with no face
Is a lonely embrace
But I know it's hard
I know it's hard
To be alone, to be alone
To be alone, yeah
Oh, 'cause I know it's hard
I know it's hard
But you ain't gonna be
Ain't gonna be alone
The Teskey Brothers’ song Rain is a poignant reflection on the difficulty of being alone. The lyrics pose a question that is left open to interpretation as to whether the rain that’s heard is real or is it the tears of the person being addressed in the song. This ambiguity sets the tone for the emotional tug-of-war that is central to the song. The singer empathizes with the person feeling lonely and asks if things would be better if they were together. The line “a soul with no face is a lonely embrace” expresses the despair of feeling disconnected from others creating a painful vacuum in one’s life. The song does, however, offer a glimmer of hope that one doesn’t have to be alone. The lyrics encourage the person to lean on them and assures them that they’ll be there for them using images of nature such as the powerful owl and flying to emphasize their dependability.
Line by Line Meaning
Is, is that rain?
Is it raining or are you crying again?
Or are you crying again?
I wonder if you're crying again like before
Would it be the same
Would things be the same if I could hold you and comfort you?
If I could hold you my friend?
If I could hold you and be there for you as a friend.
I know it's hard
I understand that it's difficult
To be alone
To feel isolated and without support
A soul with no face is a lonely embrace
Being alone and isolated is like embracing an invisible soul
But I know it's hard
I understand how hard it is
Now there's clouds
Now there are barriers and obstacles
Between us all
That separate and divide us
And the road ain't so clear
And the path forward is uncertain and unclear
But we can still walk or crawl
But we can still move forward, no matter how slow
Oh so little
With so little left
Come to me now
Come to me for comfort and support
I wanna hold you
I want to hold you tightly
In any way I know how
In any way that I can provide a sense of comfort and security
Oh we're flying now
We now have a sense of freedom and release
With the powerful owl, oh
With the guidance and protection of a powerful force like the owl.
But Is that rain?
Is it raining or am I crying?
Or am I crying again?
I wonder if I'm crying like before
But you ain't gonna be
But you won't be
Ain't gonna be alone
Feeling isolated and alone
