lyrics

I’ve spent so many nights singing to strangers
Wonderin’ if they care for what I do
Stealing lines and chords from all my heroes
But that’s secret only known to me and you
I’ve sailed through a sea of empty bottles
I drank to fuel this fire in my guts
Writing songs of love and loss and desperation
And prayin’ to god that it would be enough

When I’m long gone before the dawn
Bring the house lights on
Cause I am gone

I’ve tried my best to make through the daylight
Slinging cans and curses at the sun
Til someone shouts out what’s with all the sad songs?
Why don’t you play more happy ones?
And as I’m packing up this guy comes up to tell me
I would’ve bailed out if not for you
You know that song you wrote ‘bout driving down the Port Road
Well it’s the only thing that helped me make it though

When I’m long gone before the dawn
Bring the house lights on
Cause I am gone
When I’m long gone before the dawn
Bring the curtains down
Cause I am gone
Bring the curtains down
Bring the house lights on
This is my last song
Before I’m gone

Nathan Seeckts Geelong, Australia

Seemingly hewn from Bellarine Peninsula basalt, Seeckts’ vocal is imbued with all the heart worn grit of Steve Earle, grounding songs that are alternately heaving, shivering and jangling with feeling. Whether punching out a heartland belter or immersed in a nostalgic reverie, Nathan Seeckts delivers immense humanity, compassion, and catharsis. ... more
