about

For when somebody's slipping from your hands.

lyrics

Sawdust,
you’re light snowfall on everything
Feather sweet and dry
how you used to lie here
In the cup of my hands
All that has been and what’s left
You’re sneaking your way in on my breath
And I’ll hold that memory in

Sawdust,
as I’m sweeping you up into piles
Thinking about the miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
of intervening ground
That stripped us from branch and from spine
How the wind used to sing through the pines
And as a shadow,
I’d just collect myself there

Upwardly climb
Beyond your timber-line
Oh those dizzying heights

Sawdust,
now you’ve gone and come apart
No amount of blood, sweat, spit and pissing tears
Can make you wood again
Or deliver you back to good again
How the drought, then the mice, then the men
Simply bored and riddled through you
And ate you clean of your core

But if I could rewind, you still might be mine
Oh that glistening heart

If you don't mind, I'd be honoured
to come apart like sawdust
are you comfortable, coz it's upon us
to come apart like sawdust

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.
