about
This track draws a line in the sand.
Hey Oh Hey is about attachment and boundaries, and about the ambivalence of love. Written six years ago in a relationship on the edge, it was first produced in Toronto, and then Berlin on the queer label Wicked Hag. But it didn’t feel right, so Bliss drew a line in the sand. A new love, a new relationship to self, and a new producer have ushered in this track.
Hey Oh Hey is a song that’s upbeat, and yet it’s sung not with the conviction of a lover who has drawn a line in the sand, but in the moment where the saying of the words (‘Don’t say that you’re mine / Never gonna know what you’re hiding / Don’t waste your time’) is the moment you realise you have to move on.
This is the first single from the forthcoming EP ‘Hold My Hand And I’ll Hold Yours’ (May 2024) The EP acts like a relationship in reverse. We start at the end and end at the beginning. It’s a vulnerable, fierce, soft and joyful set of tracks that reminds us there’s always a new beginning when we draw a line in the sand.
lyrics
Hey, oh hey my love
Don’t waste your, don’t waste your
Time, oh time my love
Never gonna see what what you’re
Hide, oh hiding my love
Don’t come away and I
Know, oh oh my love
Don’t say that you’re, say that you’re mine
Don’t waste your, don’t waste your time
I know you’re
Cold, oh cold my love
I can’t warm you up and I
Go, oh oh on my love
I know that you’ve chosen to stay
Don’t waste your, don’t waste your time
I know you’re
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
Hey, oh hey my love
Hey, oh hey my love
Never gonna see what what you’re
Hide, oh hiding my love
Don’t say that you’re, say that you’re mine
Don’t waste your, don’t waste your time
I know you’re
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
There’s a line in the sand
