Black Veil

by Azumini

/

about

Found in the same dark basement as 'The Cure', 'Black Veil' is the second single from Azumini's forthcoming album 'Daylight'. Swooping 'Verve-esque' strings serve only to tell us there's a new King and he's called Azumini!. Long may he rein!

lyrics

I saw a light out here in nowhere
A single star that could speak to the soul
So if you’re crying to yourself; feeling naked
I saw a sign that could bring you home
In the Rhub Al Khali...

I will be there for you
Love is a simple truth
The seasons will change
Don’t be hard on yourself
Under a black veil
What you holding on to?
Why are you still holding on
To these deserted songs
I know it’s wrong
Now I’ve seen the light...

The desert nights that bring you closer
Across the dunes sweep the sweetest song
I saw the pyres that you’ve been building
Is this the sign that could bring me home
In the Rhub Al Khali...

I will be there for you
Love is a simple truth
The seasons will change
Don’t be hard on yourself
Under a black veil
What you holding on to?
Why are you still holding on
To these deserted songs
I know it’s wrong
Now I’ve seen the light...

(Solo)

Why are you still holding on
To these deserted songs
I know it’s wrong
Now I’ve seen the light...
Why are you still holding on
To these deserted songs
I know it’s wrong
Now I’ve seen the light...

about

Azumini London, UK

Writing in the desert of Kuwait has clearly influenced Singer/Songwriter Oliver Borrow (AKA Azumini). Far from being melancholic it's beautiful and gushing with hope.

Azumini writes and records on a laptop, whilst travelling across the Middle East and Asia.

Debut LP ‘Last Fire Burning’ in Feb 2016 and 2nd album 'Beyond the Desert Kush' in 2017. Forthcoming 3rd 'Daylight' is out in April 2018.
