Приєднався 28 лип 2017
An indie rock band from Helsinki that's not afraid to throw together all the ingredients that are great about music: traditional (?!? READ: not vibe-seeking) songwriting that's about riffs, intriguing verses and memorable choruses. We shamelessly adore people who do that particularly well, like The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Tom Petty, Ben Folds, Noel Gallagher, Jon Auer, Frank Turner, Foo Fighters, Porcupine Tree - and the list goes ever on and on. The history and future of music is so invigorating if you just know where to look, so why not borrow from it all and cook up something of your very own?
We're releasing plenty of stuff in 2024 from our third album Be More Boldly You. We hope you like it! It's our best work yet, if you don't mind a humble brag. So hop on our cute little bandwagon and join us for the ride!

Somewhere in the endless reaches of the American West and the Dust Bowl we happen upon a highway diner where Sindy serves her regular and passing-through patrons the best dishes this side of Monument Valley. While trying to figure out her life, love and what the future holds, as her shifts go by, Sindy watches the lives of her patrons unfold before her eyes. Is there an escape from the Desert Diner like there is for Trevor and Lucy, or will she find herself right where she is; amongst the dirt bikes and buggies and a revolving door of characters, any one that could possibly change her trajectory in life for good?

LYRICS
Now that we’re older
Yet no wiser still
The Earth has commanded us
To move in for the kill
So now I lay dying
After trying too hard
You place a band-aid
On my bruising heart
Just like a movie star
We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons
Under these skies I know not to want
I’ll pull you in closer, hone in on warmth
I’m prettiest sleeping
And most useful by far
I’ve stumbled to greatness
Right into your arms
Just like a movie star
We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons
We’re floating, just me and you
They’ll drag me down
From my stand
Push me aside
If they think they can
I’m heavy weight
But not dead yet
A headful of dreams
I’ve not put to bed
All I need
And all I want
Is you by my side
Against all odds
You are love
Just like balloons
We’re fleeting just like balloons
We’re floating just like balloons
We’re wrinkling just like balloons

Track nr. 4, the big ballad on Be More Boldly You is a rather clear cut although characteristically humorous love song from Jon to his wife. But why is it one of Kari's favourite tracks? And does it actually include the first bass solo that Tomppa's ever officially recorded? And I mean the guy has recorded A LOT of bass tracks in his life... Well, as ever, you'll find all the answers here! Here...

Track nr. 8 from Be More Boldly You has an interesting origin story that Jon delves into here. And what have the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and John Frusciante got to do with this particular song? Is it truly the only The Fisherman & The Sea song with a keyboard/piano intro - let's have Joel explain it to us!

Track nr. 7 from Be More Boldly You is an all Jon affair. Just a man sitting down with his guitar and some strained vocal chords to record about nature...and things?!

The opening track of Be More Boldly You has a monster of a name! Why? Because Jon was already in school diagnosed by his teachers to suffer from an insufferable penchant for lack of brevity. Or maybe he just loves big long titles? Be that as it may, he always knew this was supposed to be track nr. 1 on this album. And it's kind of an intriguing story how the song came together what with all the...

Man i heard learning to fly just now on a tv show and i was like it reminds me of something so much! And it actually reminded me of Wheels by FF. But your video helped me find it i would have gone crazy 😂
Haha, that's great! I'm not entirely sure that Dave Grohl didn't realize the similarity himself as well and thought "well, if Tom's learning to fly, I'm gonna be the guy to land this plane" hence "when the wheels come down" etc. Probably just reading way too much into it, though 😅
Great stuff. Keep up the good work.
Cheers man! Appreciate ya!
What a beautiful sound and song. Well done! ❤
Thank you kindly ♥!
I'm a sucker for existential multi-word song titles
Hate to admit it, but yeah, I was pretty pleased with myself when I came up with it 😅 - Jon
This has made my day👻
That's wonderful! Cheers ♥
Hell yes! 🥳
Perfect song to kick off the weekend with, we'd like to think 😉! Or a revolution - whichever way you feel inclined, haha!
😝💙💪@@thefishermanandthesea
Just wanted to let you all know that I loved your rendition of this song and chose to use it in my latest video. Thanks for making music!
Thanks for letting us and Marcus & the boys soundtrack what looks to've been a marvelous time, Linda! Especially loved the underwater and ocean shots. - Jon
Just beautiful! 💜
Thanks so much Andrea!
♥️👍🏼🎵🔥
✅ 'promo sm'
Great cover of an underrated song.
The whole album is pure magic if you ask me (Jon)! All these years and it still sounds so poignant.
These guys do a good job at both, but as much as I like Grohl, I'd be shocked if Wheels didn't meet the standard for a copywrite infringement of Learning to fly. It's like he said we can't fly it's too close, let's try another movement like Wheels, yea that's it Wheels. They'll never put two & two together !
Thanks! Always felt like Wheels was their most Tom Petty-esque song, but never thought of it like that. Wow!
Nice!
Thanks ever so much! Still my (Jon) favourite Midlake album.
Came across this randomly. I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't this. You guys _killed_ it. <3
Thank you ever so much man. Such a fun song to play!
RIGHT?! We play a punked-up version in my band and it's ridiculous. haha.
@@rukusan Oh wow! Link please!
@@thefishermanandthesea ua-cam.com/video/a_yQlIsgjpg/v-deo.html you're welcome/I'm sorry. haha

Hahaha, did NOT make that connection myself, but now you mention it, it makes all kinds of sense! Love it 😀

Thank you kindly, brother! Eels are all kinds of awesome.
Get some of them eels up inside ya.
Eels for the feels!
GREAT JOB GUYS I HATE COVERS YOUV'E KILLED IT FOO 'S I 'VE LOVED TOP ONE
Cheers mate! Can't go wrong with two great songs, eh?
this is messing with me something fierce :D good job!
Cheers! Combining them was a lot of fun.
ρɾσɱσʂɱ ?
I love this song. EELS are so good. And I like birds!
100% agreed on all accounts!
Such a cool promo! Like the serial aspect but almost want MORE! Live stream previews please :-)
Thanks so much Mark! There'll be some trailers / teasers for the 2 upcoming parts for sure. I tried to write in a little cliffhanger at the end of each video; I'm glad it worked ;-).
Sad xylophoning intensifies.
Hahaha, that's gold!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 hahahahahaha, you are the best!!! I cannot stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What an awesome cover! Why haven't more people seen this!?!?!
Thanks so much! Elliott has been a huge influence and he's one of my all time faves. And yeah, tell me about it, haha ;-). Peace! - Jon / The Fisherman & The Sea
I love to watch you perform, but this is like watching sausage being made.
Haha yeah, no ounce of glamour here.
good song guys
Thanks Ty! You rock.
I was looking for a book called old man and the sea but I a spelled it fisher man instead of old man but honestly really good video you guys deserve more views, good luck with your career.
Hey Ty, thanks so much! We're working on it ;-).
i love it , nice job
Thank you very much! - Jon
👍
HAMMER!
Danke vielmals! Hat auch Spaß gemacht. -Jon
