about

~ Take My Hands At Night - Is nominataed for the APRA Silver scroll songwriting award 2023 ~

Spare, cinematic and moving, “Take My Hands At Night” is the hard-won first single from the Wellington-based singer-songwriter Ebony Lamb’s forthcoming solo album. In just under four minutes of vivid dream-pop gestures, Ebony gives us a window into the soundworld she conjured up over 2021 with co-production, instrumentation and engineering assistance from two of New Zealand’s most celebrated artists, Bic Runga and Kody Nielson. Mastered to tape by Kody.

The accompanying music video to this first single was shot on 16mm film by Director Ezra Simons (Earth Tongue, Brett McKenzie) and filmed on locations throughout Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland.

Made with the help of NZ on Air, and the exceptional crew of Frances Carter (Lighting and Photography), Lara Daly (Makeup) and David Argue (Assistant), this first single brought out the strong visual dynamic so perfectly suited to capture Ebony’s artistic vision that is “Take My Hands at Night”

lyrics

Take my hands at night, I am all yours
I can’t recognise me, but I’m all yours

See her, she’s a surface skater
See the way he holds her, just above the ground

Oh’ searching for you
See the way we split in two
I can do this now

Oh’ falling for you
Hoping that we make it through
I can do this now

O’ searching for you
See the way we split in two
I can do this now

O’ falling for you
Hoping that we make it through
I can do this now

Take my hands at night, I am all yours
I can’t recognise me, but I’m all yours

Hurtling Through [EP]
by Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour

Tiny Ruins & Hamish Kilgour created possibly my favourite album of all time here. Loose and intentional, lyrics & aesthetics made a world I have on high rotation, as a touchstone, as an ideal. EBONY LAMB

Got to attend the concert at EartH. Lovely venue. Thank you for the brilliant performance and album. Crabs scuttling towards the audience would've been a nice touch though! that.bowl.of.petunias
