Artist/Band: Bear Quartet
Lyrics for Song: Big Stretch
Lyrics for Album: Family Affair [1993]



Never caught in the searchlights

of anybody else's life

That's why you stay,

That's why I won't say:

"you don't fit in elsewhere anyway babe"



It's a big stretch

into nothingness

Tracing for something else

Something that doesn't hurt

or stain your heart

Never mentioned in kind words

but oh, so often heard

Not even dwarfed

by our helplessness



In a garbage filled apartment

Where all your time got spent

and the smell from decades away

Couldn't help you around the bend



It's a big stretch

into nothingness

not slowed down

by our littleness


Big Stretch

Released on the 1993 album Family Affair, "Big Stretch" stands as a defining track in the discography of the Bear Quartet. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of punk energy and experimental electronic textures, characteristic of their work during the early 1990s. Produced by the quartet themselves, the recording features a driving rhythm section that supports the band's distinctive vocal delivery and melodic structures. As part of their broader body of work, "Big Stretch" reflects the raw, unpolished aesthetic that became central to their identity. It remains a notable example of their ability to merge aggressive instrumentation with introspective songwriting, contributing significantly to their legacy in the alternative rock and electronic scenes of that era.
