… Read Full Bio ↴Dustin Tebbutt is an Australian-born singer-songwriter from Sydney.
Falling for the northern hemisphere.. the notion of life in winter and the appeal of a hibernation far away, Tebbutt relocated to Sweden to live and work, write and record. The result was this tenderly-sculpted music about that move to the other side of the world.. The things he left or lost along the way, and the person that came back. The lead single and title track from “The Breach” is available on Itunes or www.dustintebbutt.com with an E.P released in Australia.

You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I
It was the night
We'd fallen for so long
Give me the night
To breathe in your body
'Cause I could lay here
Breathe in your eyes
But show me a quiver
Give me tonight
Are you ready for the motion
Swaying, devotion in our wake
Come on and
Be here in this moment
Sacred, I'm saying your name
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
It's running ahead
Oh, you're afraid
It's taking me in
It takes me away
In hearts that can echo
We finish together again
But show me a quiver
Give me tonight
Are you ready for the motion
Swaying, devotion in our wake
Come on and
Be here in this moment
Sacred, I'm saying your name
I'm saying your name
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
I'm saying your name
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want, you're what I
You're what I want, you're what I want
You're what I want
The repetitive nature of the opening verse of Dustin Tebbutt's song Give Me Tonight emphasizes the strong desire the singer has for someone.

The chorus shifts to a plea for time, highlighting the importance of the present moment for the singer.
