I was fortunate enough to photograph The Parlotones last night and of course watch them perform. I was not disappointed- those guys are amazing! I don’t think they have one bad song… I really love their music and some of the lyrics are really special.

I think we are quite blessed to have bands like The Parlotones in South Africa and to have so many opportunities to watch them perform – they are certainly on par with international bands and I would imagine that they will be touring the world pretty soon if they keep up the good work.

They certainly kept the croud entertained and were enjoyed by all – both young and old. It was a beautiful evening of good music at a wonderful venue (On The Night at SJC). Well done to The Parlotones – you are making South Africa proud!

Here are the lyrics to one of my favourite songs by The Parlotones – it’s called “I’ll Be There”

I’ll Be There lyrics

I’ll, I’ll, Still beauty, colourful,
these blossoms are up for bloom.
One promise is just like a heart,
they get broken. But ill try my hardest.

Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.

Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.

Angelic, Little princess,
I wanna wake up
to your face every morning

Another lovesong
a silly lovesong
but its our song
and its forever

Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.

Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.

This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever

I’ll, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll,
I’ll, be there for you.

Even if you’re rich,
Even if you’re poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.

Even if you’re strong
Even if you’re not
Every breath you breathe,
I’ll be there for you.
