1. Hiatus (Cyrus Shahrad), is an Iranian ambient musician, who lives in south London and has released various EPs and two full length LPs — Ghost Notes and Parklands. He began recording as Hiatus in 2003, when an American friend mailed him a copy of Reason and the necessary gadgets to run instruments directly into his computer. Hiatus later independently released three EPs — Dusky (EP) [2005], Twilight Kingdom [2006], Nobody (EP) [2008], – each individual CD burned in iTunes, tagged with marker pen and posted by hand to friends, family and the occasional media flunky. Another EP 'Save Yourself' was released in 2010, this year also saw the release of his debut full length,Ghost Notes. Cyrus also collaborated with Smoke Feathers for Change Up EP, which was released in 2012. After giving out some free music, Hiatus released his second LP in 2013, entitled Parklands. His latest EP, The Crossing EP was released earlier this year.
Cyrus also writes for various acclaimed magazines and newspapers on a range of subjects, including music and movie reviews. You can get the latest on Hiatus on http://www.cyrusshahrad.com/.
2. Hiatus formed in May 1989.They played in a Doom/Discharge/E.N.T. style.Political D.I.Y band from belgium, that would become well known in the underground Hardcore/Punk scene of that time. Technically good for the kind of music they made, they were one of the ensigns of crust-core in early 90's. Hiatus would later redefine their sound completely on their final release, and finest work, "The Brain" as they grew sick of the songs they had constantly toured. The music moved up a notch, Willy's vocals become more powerful and with more anger/conviction than the tired Doom-style vocals for which he was known (Willy had actually filled in for the band Doom in the past! No surprise there!) They released albums under several D.I.Y labels such as Skuld Releases, Profane Existence, Nabate, Urban alert, Mother peace Rec. and Sound polution (It is needed to confirm for this article if they released an album with Don't Belong rcs,spain).Disbanded in mid 90's, some of the members would later form a band called Unhinged.
3. Hiatus (DJ Hiatus/Hi8us) was formed in 1995 and was on Tommy Boy's white label when he was only 16. His work includes the (unaccredited) scratch work on Peanut Butter Wolf's album: My Vinyl Weighs A Ton, De La Soul's single Stakes Is High, Dr. Octagon, and other works. His first album was Dorothy's Planet, an abstract hip hop album (not unlike Kid Koala's scratchhappyland). It was of limited pressing of only 1,000. His work, now primarily underground, has always consisted of instrumental hip hop, abstract downtempo, or break beats and turntablism. "Born Too Late And Too Old For The Turn Back" was his last released album, released by N-Tone in 1999. Since then, the artist has been virtually on hiatus (no pun intended), with occasional works both old and new released on Bandcamp and elsewhere.
Nobody
Hiatus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My name is Nobody.
Excuse me?
My name is Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing.
I thought you said your name was Nobody.
I would prefer to be called Nobody.
The lyrics to Hiatus's song "Nobody" offer an intriguing perspective on identity and self-awareness. The singer of the lyrics identifies themselves as "Nobody," a name which seems to imply a lack of identity or a desire to remain anonymous. However, when questioned about their name, the singer goes on to offer a different, more specific name ("Exaybachay. He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing"), suggesting that they do in fact have a sense of self and personality. The contradiction between these two names perhaps reflects the complexities of personal identity and the challenge of truly knowing oneself.
The lyrics also touch on the power of language and communication. The name "Exaybachay" is an invented word made up of sounds rather than any recognizable language, emphasizing the idea that the way we communicate can often be empty or meaningless. At the same time, the fact that the singer is able to give themselves a name that contains a description ("He Who Talks Loud, Saying Nothing") suggests that language can also be a tool for self-expression and self-reflection.
Overall, the lyrics to "Nobody" offer a thought-provoking meditation on the nature of identity and communication. The name "Nobody" may initially seem like a denial of self, but the lyrics suggest that it can also be a way of seeing oneself more clearly and navigating the complexities of personal identity.

@MaikTheSailor
Now I finally understand what people mean when they say "Nobody's perfect".
@izfuckinguka
"I prefer to be called nobody" is the ultimate spiritual level, because there is no ego at all. I think this is the meaning of their dialogue.
@Kackbratze56
Issa Belle or maybe he's a lone wolf
someone who doesn't want social interaction but solitude
so people don't know him and call him nobody
but I haven't listened to the whole song yet
