Lyrics:
This is as far as I can go
Still I can’t say no
I can’t say no
But I don’t feel anything anymore

I’ve never understood
Why you don’t try
When you know you could
When you know that you could

If you feel like it

I’ve tried everything
But what are you looking for
When you know I can’t do this anymore?

And I’ll never understand
Why you don’t try
When you know you can
When you know that you can

If you feel like it

Do you feel, do you feel anything?

What goes through your head?
What good is a body if it’s dead?

Feel Like It

Dusk and Dawn is the eponymous first single from the EP "Dusk and Dawn"

HURDLES NEW EP ‘DUSK & DAWN’
01/02/2016

Belfast based indie pop 4 piece Hurdles have been creating slick guitar driven synth laced pop in the vein of Phoenix & Bombay Bicycle Club since November 2012.

Hailing 3/4 from Northern Ireland (Niall Hanna, Eoin Bleeks and Thomas Bannon) and 1/4 from Bedford, England (Ross Haymes) they were brought together over a love of danceable indie, drawing on frontman Hanna's Irish trad background and tunings to give their music a truly unique sound.

Their music has been heard by millions thanks to the likes of BBC Radio 1 Introducing, 6 Music's Steve Lamacq and BBC Radio Ulster’s Across The Line all championing their music.

‘Dusk & Dawn’ is the band's second 4 track EP following on from their debut ‘Where To Start' in October 2013. Featuring former single ‘France’ voted best NI track of 2014 by Chordblossom.com, ‘Dusk & Dawn’ sees the band pushing themselves in every element of their music. From the upbeat indie pop opener ‘Closer’ to the funk drenched ‘Wake’ the band locked themselves away writing the most comprehensive tracks to date. Lead single ‘Dusk & Dawn’ showcases Hurdles ability to effortlessly combine addictive guitar riffs with smooth synth pop to a high polished degree.

Dusk & Dawn was recorded at Start Together Studios in Belfast and features the following tracks

Closer
Dusk & Dawn
Wake
France

Niall Hanna - Vocals & Guitar

Lyrics

Sneak like a ghost
Tiptoe-in feet
A broken home
A broken dream
But you
Oh you
Can see right through me

It’s not a joke
I wanna change
I tell myself that every god damn day
I stay the same

It feels good to be living a lie 
It feels good to be somebody else tonight
It feels good when you open your mind
So you and me will never die

I’ve got a host
Stuck in my brain
Pulling the levers, controlling what I say
He won’t go away

I got a notion
The more I take
The more control he has over what I think
Guess that’s ok

It feels good to be living a lie 
It feels good to be someone else tonight
It feels good to open your mind 
cuz you and me will never die

It feels good to be doing it right
It feels good but my throats getting dry
It feels good ignoring advice
Cuz you and me will never die

Lyrics: 
We have conversations
I have conversations with myself
With someone else

Staring into nothing 
Staring out at something 
I'm not there, im everywhere

And when I go back 
Back to the start 
First time feels so far away 
Far away

I’m just a little messed up
I’m a little out of my head
Looks like I get along fine
But most the time I’m just scared
I’m just a little messed up
And I think that that's ok
I’m just a little messed up
I’m just a little messed up 
You have expectations 
I have expectations every night 
All the time 
Better off pretending 
Better to be spending time alone 
Without my phone

And when I go back 
Back to the start 
Hindsight feels so far away 
Far away

I’m just a little messed up
I’m a little out of my head
Looks like I get along fine
But most the time I’m just scared
I’m just a little messed up
And I think that thats ok
I’m just a little messed up
I’m just a little messed up 

And when I go back 
Back to the start 
First time feels so far away 
Far away 
Go back back to the start
Hindsight feels so far away 
Far away

I’m just a little messed up
I’m a little out of my head
Looks like I get along fine
But most the time I’m just scared
I’m just a little messed up
And I think that that's ok
I’m just a little messed up
I’m just a little messed up
