about

Strange things happen when the sun goes down ... a slightly surrealistic stream of consciousness blues sort of thing featuring insomnia, bad weather, Frank Sinatra, and a woman on the prowl

lyrics

Turned out the light and I got into bed
Turned on the radio and the weatherman said - pressure’s
dropping and a storm's bearing down on you
no reason to panic cause there’s nothin’ to do
You hear the damndest things in the middle of the night
but that doesn’t mean what you hear is right
it might just depend on where you’re headin’ to

I got outa bed and I fixed me a drink
I could feel the pressure droppin' and it hurt to think - I heard a
soft voice say this goes out to you - It was
old blue eyes singing can’t get started with you
you hear the damndest things in the middle of the night
but that doesn’t mean what you hear is right
it might just depend on where you’re headed’ to

well you might be happy you might be stressed
you might be angry or a little depressed
you might even be a little bit high
you might be getting ready to die

Now it started blowin and it started to rain
the wind was howlin’ and the telephone rang
I heard a voice ask who am I speaking to?
I said I’m just me but who are you?
you hear the damndest things in the middle of the night
but that doesn’t mean what you hear is right
it might just depend on where you’re headed’ to

well you might be happy you might be stressed
you might be angry or a little depressed
you might even be a little bit high
you might be getting ready to die

Now someone might tell you that you’re the one - they might be
looking for love or lookin’ for fun - they might be
on the rebound or out for your gold or
something warm when the night grows cold
you hear the damndest things in the middle of the night
but that doesn’t mean what you hear is right
it just might depend on what you wanna do
it just might depend on what you been through
It just might depend on where you’re headed to

about

Katvanger Netherlands

Katvanger is a blues-tinged trio that defies description with a mix of originals that cannot be easily pigeonholed. Some might call it roots or Americana, but in fact, Katvanger’s idiosyncratic eclecticism defies description. With a conspiratorial wink, they’ve often described it as dubious blues, twisted roots, counterfeit country & western, and improbable jazz. ... more
