Rokein - Black & Grey | Hidden Track Sessions

Rokein is a 4-piece South African Progressive Rock band from Bloemfontein, Free State. The band formed during hard lockdown in  2020 from a collection of soul-driven music lovers, who itched to help breathe new life on the local music scene: Robbie Boltman on guitar and vocals, Ken Dennis on the bass, multi - instrumentalist Heinrich Lategan on percussion and Rudi Minnaar on guitar and vocals. Their unique sound fuses together wide alternative with classical influences and draws inspiration from QOTSA, The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin and Queen. Their desire for live music is what fueled the band to make and create their music. Rokein is currently working on their debut album and is looking forward to upcoming performances.

Lyrics:
I see
your reflection in the sky.
Memories of yesterday
make me wonder why.
Arms crossed, and the moon my
only friend.
Home is pretty far away on a road that has no end.

Here's a story, have a seat.
Come sit down and rest your feet.
Take this time to lend an ear.
Listen closely, listen dear.
Let me tell you where I've been,
what I've done and what I've seen. Let me hear your story too, you're just like me and I'm just like you.

I hear, what seems a blessing in disguise.
Tomorrow's yet another day;
The pain will
make you wise.
Out here, the sun discolors everything,
but things will not be black and grey
as long as you still sing.
