Vile Man

In the morn'
light hits the lawn
I look for you
but you were gone
Sun so bright
sticks daggers in my eyes
and from the trees
a bird song just for me

I know one day I'll die
I hope my life can be someones guide
but I'll sleep tight
in the deep dark night

With Blue Brown Pink Red
Four little ribbons resting on my chest
Gold Violet White Green
All my good deeds smiling back at me

In this garden
where lessons grow
grubs wear bowties
and put on their show
They flutter by
right outta sight
And what am I?
But a landing zone standing by

If I hold just one grain of sand
a whole world sits upon my hand
but when I need answers 
to my questions on demand

It's Blue Brown Pink Red
Four little ribbons resting on my chest
Gold Violet White Green
All my good deeds smiling back at me


I know one day I'll die
I'll know I tried
to do things right
and  I'll sleep tight
in the deep dark night

With Blue Brown Pink Red
Four little ribbons resting on my chest
Gold Violet White Green
All my good deeds smiling back at me

The Unravelling

Saul Behan-Dunne is a songwriter from South East Gippsland in Victoria Australia with previous releases under the guise of The Sigh Company.

Debuting in 2011 with Songs in Silence, The Sigh Co. took us on a blissful sonic journey with an eclectic bunch of instrumental tracks, meditative and soothing, that continue to find new listeners. 

The follow up album ‘Dark’ was a moodier affair. Thematically, the album seems to be a statement about the Wests appetite for war, but to Saul Behan-Dunne, it is a cry out against the abuse of power in all human relations. A bug bear of his which provides much of the undercurrent on this his latest release The Termite Cathedral. 

Songs such as ‘Bali’ (the loss of a loved one via the Bali Bombings)
and ‘You Were the One’ (a song about partner violence) expose the searing pain caused by the human desire to dominate others. 

Sounds weighty, but the album is a joy to listen to, its an emotionally charged recording culminating in two love songs: the sultry ‘Summerlong’ and soulful ‘Run into your arms’ closing out the album.

Saul Behan-Dunne finds expression in his careful choice of words combined with an artful and meticulous layering of sound. The Termite Cathedral delivers songs that can surprise, with moments of simplicity and complexity combining seamlessly.
