Bad Sun; The Bravery

Yesterday, an ancient band; today, a newborn band called The Bravery. The Bravery was born seven years ago by Sam Endicott (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Michael Zakarin (lead guitar), John Conway (keyboards), Mike Hindert (bass) and Anthony Burulcich (drums) in New York City. Their sound is a sort of alternative rock, dance-punk and post-punk revival.

The Bravery released three studio albums: The Bravery (2005), The Sun and the Moon (2007) and Stir the Blood (2009). "The Bravery" came into the post-punk revival wave with bands like Franz Ferdinand, The Futurehead, etc; because of this album they became very hype, and most of people would consider them "the next big thing". With "The Sun and the Moon" the band approached the pop sound and kicked out the post-punk influences; its most conservative fans didn't like it at all!

“Bad Sun” is a song from their second album. It has a more pop vibe than the others songs, and this feature has probably been thought beforehand because the whistlings are poppier at all. But pop is good, very good.

If you didn't know The Bravery, enjoy it!



We are lies like the summertime
Like the spring we are such fools
Like fall we are false prophets
Like winter we are cruel

I don't know what's wrong with us
They just made us this way
There's a hole in you and me
That pulls us together

And I don't know where we belong
I think we grew under a bad sun
I know we're not like everyone
You and me we grew, under a bad sun

Every day you bring me pain
And we savor it like rain
We hold it on our tongues
Just like wine

Someday back when we were young
I guess something just went wrong
The two of us are hung
From the same twisted rope

And I don't know where we belong
I think we grew under a bad sun
I know we're not like everyone
You and me we grew under a bad sun
