lyrics

My uncle steven
I never knew him
He’s rarely spoke of these days
There’s just a story
Way back one harvest
Of his disappearance and his dry sea grave

No-one saw him leaving the farmhouse that day
Not till late was he noticed gone
Was he as far as the crumbling mine-shafts?
Or could he be snake-bit in the Diamond Creek?

The rallied parties
The calls and searchlights
Grandmothers pale face at the hard sunrise
Could it be kidnap?
Could it be murder?
How could one do that?
he was just a kid!

when the trains came to drain the silos
there was a hold-up on carriage three
his tiny body blocking the grain chute
that put an end to all the mystery

My uncle steven
I never knew him
He’s rarely spoke of these days
There’s just a story
Way back one harvest
Of his disappearance and his dry sea grave

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.
