Bear Gone Fishin'

Widespread Panic · Other Songs - Widespread Panic

Bear gone fishin', mermaids missin'

Got to get to the bottom of this

Kissin' the wound from the captain's harpoon

Unexpected moment of bliss

Loss is closer, tip of exposure

It's sunny at the edge of the sea

Baby knows what she really wants

She get the most of make believe



Spy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show

Line forms just to the right of your keyhole



Follow and cruisin', ain't it amusin'

Hair hardly moves in the breeze

Baby gets restless, breaks out of fortress

Soon there'll be somethin' to see

Forces close her, glimpse of exposure

It's sunny at the edge of the sea

Baby knows what she really wants

She makes the most of make believe



Spy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show

Lines form just to the right of your keyhole

Eyes from the paintings seem to follow

Mirrors cap both ends of your telescope.



Ah, shucks

Sweet

Petite



Spy vs. Spy



Spy vs. Spy, baby's a freak show

Lines form just to the right of your keyhole

Eyes from the paintings seem to follow

Mirrors cap both ends of your telescope.

Bear Gone Fishin'

Widespread Panic's "Bear Gone Fishin'" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of Southern rock, blues, and jam band improvisation. Recorded during a period where the group solidified its reputation for extended, collaborative performances, the track showcases the intricate interplay between guitarist John Mayer and bassist Derek Trucks, hallmarks of the ensemble's sound. The song captures the band's ability to weave together complex harmonies and driving rhythms into a cohesive narrative that has become a staple of their live repertoire. Its enduring appeal lies in its organic feel and the seamless integration of individual talents into a unified musical experience, reflecting the broader influence of the jam band movement on contemporary rock music.
