LYRICS
[Verse 1]
It was the strangest night
The kind of scene I don't fit into
I didn't feel so right
And she came back 'round
Drifting across my sight
Some apparition of make believe
I felt my chest grow tight
And I tumbled in
[Chorus 1]
And she said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
Oh, I'm telling you, the whole thing is just a breaking of desire
You inevitably hold on, because you always do
You gotta walk that wire
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm talkin' in tongues, 'cause I'm not made of steel
Somebody save me from myself
I'm just a man, alright
And I'm fumbling
With all this fading light
Maybe the moment to make my move
You hold your breath so tight
Cause we're tumbling
[Chorus 2]
And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
I've been telling you the whole time, it's just a breaking of desire
Now, I promise to be brave too, because you've earned that right
You better walk that wire
[Bridge]
There's something in the air, right
Keep steady as you walk away
And we're never gonna know right
But it's better than the other way
[Outro]
And I said, 'Hey baby, hold my hand out on the wire'
See, I never would have held on, but at the aching of desire
Know there's heaven in a folk song, so just you hold on, because you're dancing on the wire
Mm, alright...

About The Band:
'(Boy & Bear) bring their '70s inspired pop-folk vibes, combining lead vocalist Dave Hosking's signature glorious vocals with bass lines full of attitude along with cinematic melodies that resonate throughout any venue' - LeftLion UK.
The Sydney 5-piece first garnered attention when they uploaded their song The Storm to triple j Unearthed in 2009. Their debut album Moonfire (2011) reached double-platinum sales, won five ARIA Awards and three songs in the triple j Hottest 100. Their sophomore album Harlequin Dream (2013) achieved platinum sales and the #1 spot on the ARIA Album chart staying in the top ten for five weeks. They followed up with Limit Of Love (2015), resulting in their second ARIA #1 album debut.
After touring the world multiple times, the band became Splendour In The Grass favourites, performed on Conan O'Brien, and sold out two Sydney Opera Houses. This iconic Australian band returned with their triumphant release, Suck On Light, in 2019. In 2020 they released At Golden Retriever Studio, a series of stunningly stripped-back versions of some of the most loved songs of their career.
Boy & Bear's trademark live performance warmth and charisma was experienced by over 65,000 people this Australian summer. Crowds grinned from ear to ear as they joined forces to sway together, sing their hearts out and reminisce on their fondest memories.
Having now wrapped their tour, the band return to the studio to create music for expected release next year.
Sultan's of swing + Love is a battlefield = this.
Very much so! glad to know I'm not alone :)
Yeah,i hear it too. :)
add any song + any song you'd get any song
no sultans of swing here
The Cars would be proud that their music style is alive & well in 2015.
I've just had a look at Boy n Bears' Discography Wiki.
'Walk The Wire' peaked at #121 yet was certified as Gold, go figure that.
'Walk The Wire' is one of the best songs ever recorded.
If radio played it on High Rotation, it would've gone top 10 at least.
2 albums peaked at #1
1 album peaked at #2
1 peaked at #7
1 at #4
I hope that converted into $$$$$$$$$$ for the Band.
This band puts out some of the catchiest tunes of any recent group. Music like it used to be !!!###
So electric lifelike
My first thought
I actually found myself laughing at parts of this. Great video. Strange and I love it.

The hook in So Electric by Lifelike was definitely a key influence here

Aaaah, takes me back to the 80s!

I was listening to the album trying to remember why this music video was so weird. I remember it being super weird but not the exact specifics. Needless to say when I look this up I was surprised all over again.

This music video is so weird but I like it hahaha... Great song!! Haven't stopped listening to it since it came out. 👌🏼
Great Job OYW always making good content
That is a very silly, and very funny, video :o)
One hell of a budget to do a video on the mo--oh, WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT.
👍🏻
Hilarious. And a great song.
Gypsy and the cat - jona vark - VERY SIMILAR
Does it sound like 'Dire Straits' or is it just me?
Yes!
thats so it!!
Glad I'm not the only one thinking that!
+Pvunderink Indeed. Also a bit like War On Drugs imo
+Pvunderink Was thinking the same thing! Very good to hear these sounds coming back :)
Funniest Music Video EVER!!!
Wtf why are they all hot
that video though 😂
It's literally a strong copy of Lifelike- So electric
Damn, my American friend said this clip doesn't work over there.
The sims have created this video!
I´m hungry
I could've sworn this was from the 80s
Err.... Great Vid? I think... What did I just watch? Haha!!!
Well that was unexpected....
so when's this film going to be released, I will pay millions to hsve my name somewhere in it
Yes, this is a "Dire Straits" borrow....ignore the quasi-sci-fi type video montage fromage......they appropriated this sound structure....upbeat strum and nasal-twang-sang has captured it.
Cmon that was pretty funny. Up there with LCDs Drunk girls.
Is the guy holding up the meteor the same dude that played the dancing priest in the Mystery Skulls video?
Motherfucker's funny.
+Darcy Prendergast I'm not Australian, but I'm guessing that means yes. Great work either way.
Can u make a song about me?😛
so f'ing funny. up there with lcd's drunk girls.
omg...I watched this over and over and saw something funnier everytime ..lmfao
I love the song. And I'm all for interesting music videos. But when the song is interrupted constantly by noises from the video, including screaming, doesn't that diminish both?
Katie Grooby diminish ? I would go further to say it ruins it !
Considering their isn’t another version of this song on TH-cam it’s quite annoying
Aussies bro we are having a laugh.
Love this song, and the video is funny but extremely distracting.
i like this song . . .but I hate when you watch a film clip and you hear background noise and what not!
+scarefaceR18 A fucking men
So much like Jona Vark by Gypsy & The Cat :(
i was the director when he had the gun
I thought, oh great, five white guys, but really this video is hilarious and not at all what I expected
HAHAHHAHA WHAT THE FUCK
This song is hilarious...People come up with the weirdest shit to make a good laugh.
Umm...Yep..Ok. That was unexpected
shit clip. loved southern sons though
This is great. At first I thought "oh great, another lame video of a band pretending to play their instruments while looking like they can't be bothered" but boy I was wrong ;)
It sounds like they are ripping off "Vital Signs" by Rush!!!!
band green screen fake moon movie set
great song, video ruins it with effect sounds running into it though
Good song. Nice try on the vid.... but no. Still art school quality. Sorry to say, and hate to hate, but the biz requires good vid direction/concept/production. Just trying to help.
Come on boys you're better than this. Great group, great music - crap promo.
ummmm gypsy and the cat - jona vark???? copy much??
+Jules zuliani Really? I can't hear it
You must be deaf
Jules zuliani Okay rude but
+Jules zuliani I thought this too!!
+Jules zuliani Or the far more likely option is that you're just delusional.
Love this song
