=========================================
Mad Hatter was remixed and remastered on 11 January 2025
=========================================
In 1972 I was heading towards South America via Mexico and other parts of Central America. I knew that certain hairstyles were frowned upon at various borders. Rather than doing anything drastic, like cutting my hair, I purchase a $15 dollar short hair wig and wore it for my passport photo. 

That wig hat served me well across a number of borders.

I actually wrote the song before I ever crossed one of those borders. At least I think so. I know I wrote it while I was travelling on my own somewhere between the US border and Silvia, Columbia. I had plenty of time in cheap hotel rooms along the way.

I like to think that this song says something about the experience of being a traveller on the road to who knows where. I'm not sure what that might be, but it feels very familiar. It takes me back.

Verse 1:
Looking for hat that comes from south of the border
He needs very big one so it must be made to order
All we really know is that he's from a northern nation
Where he took off his sombrero and he left it in the station

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 2:
Morning takes his head and hides it in the corner
But that can’t conceal the fact that he’s been heading for the border
So he takes a couple pills just to prove he’s not a purist
Puts a wig hat on his head so he looks just like a tourist

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Verse 3:
Paradise is just a place he touches on the run
The loving and the living give him strength for moving on
The world’s out there waiting but it always strikes him funny
When he ends up in some hell hole and he’s just run out of money

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter


Verse 4:
Can’t tell you bout his future, can’t tell you bout his past
Sometimes he says he’s happy and hopes that it’ll last
More often in the night in his hotel all alone
He wonders what he’s doing why he hasn’t got a home

Chorus:
But it’s all right
It doesn’t matter
Been a long night
For the mad hatter

Dark and dank, yet somehow uplifting. A song about being a hot mess, and owning it.

"Distanced" is a reflective ballad that captures the beauty and heartache of a long-distance relationship, drawing parallels with the infinite expanses of space, and the need for connection stifled by the realities of time and space. With spacey guitar tones and melancholic vocals, The Day Afters blend wistful lyrics with a modern indie sound. Perfect for late-night reflection.

Lyrics:
It’s the Distance - and the time we squandered, the days we found were- quickened.
A rhythm - as we break in two again, smash into ourselves - listen….   

If you want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When  you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

Absence - makes the heart grow fonder But my thoughts still wander - still with you
This system - demands you follow, Makes you swallow - puts us in this queue

If want it - you get it - you get you let it go
When you see it - it’s never what you’re looking for
You can dream - for more and more
What’s real is here, you feel it near - that’s yours

I Miss you - the earth is harder, the sun feels farther than it used to - and we’re just passing through

Trying to read you - I can't tell
Trying to reach you - No one’s there

The Story

simbassäng

The door creaks open, and a heavy darkness stares back. No walls, no floor—just black. A step forward, and the ground vanishes. Air rushes past, the doorway shrinking above, swallowed by the abyss.

The Abyss

Music: John Denver
Lyrics/Vocals: John Hobbs
Guitar/Production: Josh Elliott

"Perhaps Love" is a song that John Denver wrote and recorded as a duet with Plácido Domingo. The song appeared on Domingo's 1981 album of the same title.

I rewrote the lyrics in 2015 and recorded this version in 2019 with Josh Elliott on guitar and production.

Perhaps Love

Perhaps love is like a sacred place, separate from this world
We hear of such atrocities how human life unfurls.
And when we are in pain and grief when we feel so alone
A paradise called love will be our home.

Perhaps love is like the ocean and the cities there beneath,
Or a king who comes in splendour during darkness, like a thief.
For Christ, the Son shall offer grace and cleanse us certainly
And our hearts will be at peace like gentle seas.

Oh, love to some is just a kiss, to some a burning heat,
For some, a guide to living, for some, a heart’s retreat.
And some say love is just a ruse, and some say it’s quite real
And some say love is everything and some say they can’t feel.

Perhaps love is like a desert, a deep oasis rain
Or a poem from Arabia, a Sufi love refrain.
As words from all the saints reflect the Oneness of God’s love,
Flowing through our souls and up above.

And some say love is just a ruse, and some say it’s quite real
And some say love is everything, and some say they can’t feel.

Perhaps love is like the universe, where planets come and go
Or a shining supernova putting on a show.
But we will search forever together, side by side
And the fragrance of Allah shall be our guide.

John Hobbs

My poetry and music evolved as a personal response to the events of Sept 11th 2001, and the resulting conflicts. I began to meditate during this period, and the poetry, lyrics and melodies grew from there.

The songs wouldn't exist as finished 'entities' without Claudette Evans and Josh Elliott - two multi-talented people.
