about

sudden and certain obsession!

lyrics

I want to hear horns
A smooth flurry of brass
With my guts all choked up in my throat
I can’t fix your image fast
And the further away I get
Just a sun-gilded silhouette
And whatever you have with him
I’m going to have to steal you

I’m the only horse you’d ever back
To clear the gates and run the other way
These fine wires always come attached
Running back to a dynamite bouquet
Tonight, what you have with him
Is riding rough-shod through my brain
You’re at the bottom of this bottle baby
I swear

When all the lines are down
Won’t you come around
Now the lights are out
Won’t you come about

I wake in a tangle of sheets
Head in hands under the rising steam
The bats are back upside down
And the wild dogs are sleeping underground

I want to hear horns
All clear from the blast
You’re a bend in this river baby
A tiny spark caught in a jar
Whatever you have with him
I’m going to have to steal you
And conceal you from the light of day
If it’s the only time you’ll light my way

When all the lines are down
Won’t you come around
Now the lights are out
Won’t you come about

about

tobias hengeveld Melbourne, Australia

Tobias Hengeveld writes melodically vivid songs, riddled with unexpected angular pop-hooks. His distinctively sylvan voice tells personal experiences with wry lyrical candor.

The Daylight Express was nominated for an Age Music Victoria Award in 2014.

Due in April 2019, NAUGHTS & ONES is a triumphant mirror-maze of jubilant pop tunes set in a hinterland of darker rock ballads.
