Not tonight, Josephine I'm tired from the battles in my head, Josephine Can't we just go quietly to bed, Josephine Josephine, Josephine, Josephine I've had enough, Josephine of trying to be the man you want from me, Josephine Frightened of what I'd truly be, Josephine Josephine, Josephine, Josephine Let me just go elsewhere Close my eyes and disappear tonight Waiting till a voice says, “it's alright” But for tonight, just for one night, not your voice, sweet Josephine I'm on your side, Josephine There's no-one's side on which I'd rather be, Josephine Just understand this, and bear with me, Josephine Josephine, Josephine, Josephine You're on my mind, Josephine But the head doesn't understand the heart, Josephine Trying to explain, but where to even start, Josephine Josephine, Josephine, Josephine Let me just go elsewhere Close my eyes and disappear tonight Waiting till a voice says, “it's alright” But for tonight, just for one night, Yeah, for tonight, just for one night, for tonight, just for one night, not your voice, sweet Josephine Not tonight, Josephine I trust your promises way too much, Josephine Your soothing words, and your loving touch, is just too much, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine, Josephine

Frightened, in a strange town, I’m all alone It’s windy, it’s ice cold, It’s lonesome to the bone Suddenly, a scream lights up the night And then I know: You will be alright I hear you, stranger I’m also in the know Our collective sigh, Our symphony of woe A faceless friend shouts “I’m also here” These desolate voices looking for a sympathetic ear A wordless expression, a primal “hello” It’s haunting when the wind blows, and your fears echo I hear you, stranger I’m also in the know Our collective sigh, Our symphony of woe

Kabaal klankbaan is Gauteng-based musician Floris Groenewald’s folk-rock music project. “It’s not a stage name,” says Floris, “but a band, of which I’m the only permanent member.” They play acoustic, alternative folk-rock, which varies from indie-pop songs, folky dystopian love songs, bluesy rock & roll, to songs about robots and video games. ... more
