All Your Life

Bear Quartet · Angry Brigade [2003]

for every building there's a bomb

there are more bullets than bullies

I am sure but not enough of the love

that you have longed for



all your life

all your life



I've fallen into the same hole more than twice

only to be by your side



warm dark night, this place is so well-known

I can taste the air's humidity,

smell the winter in a bee

still amazed that loss can decree



all your life

all your life



I've fallen on my face so many times

only to be by your side



all your life

all your life

All Your Life - Bear Quartet

Released on the 2003 album Angry Brigade, 'All Your Life' stands as a defining track in the post-punk revival movement. The Bear Quartet, a seminal group from the UK, blended raw energy with melodic sensibilities that resonated deeply with fans of the era. Their sound was characterized by driving rhythms and a distinct vocal style that cut through the noise of the mid-2000s music scene. This recording captures the band's ability to fuse aggressive instrumentation with emotional depth, creating a sonic landscape that influenced a generation of indie and alternative artists. The song remains a staple of their discography, often cited as a prime example of the genre's resurgence in the early 21st century.
