2) Leaf is a collaboration between Steve Wick, DJ Eric Dove and members of Biogliphic, 32nd Kalpa, Blunt Force, and other Dallas, TX area producers. A melding of dirty hip hop rhythm, crystalline melodies, insane sampling, and smooth organic instrumentation. Consistently dark and weighty, Leaf's compositions bring to mind some of the best abstract trip hop artists [DJ Shadow, DJ Signify, Blockhead, Subtle, Tricky], but their keen sense of place and mood, and unexpected uplifting moments set Leaf apart as something worth noticing.

Graduates of the Rockacademy Tilburg, Leaf played hunderds of small gigs before recording their album "Life's a Beach", fittingly recorded at the Dutch beach. The album was released in August 2007, preceded by their first single Wonderwoman. Said single won Leaf an award for being the most-played song on Dutch national radio in 2007. The album spawned two more singles: New Song and Motherfucker. On January 12, 2009, Leaf unexpectedly announced to break up due to "artistical differences".

Hide & Seek
Leaf Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey baby haven’t you noticed me
I’ve been walking around and pulling your sleeve
like all day now

You’re a busy little bee but I’m hanging on
the end of your sweater till you stop and tell me
How you took a dive into my pool of life and left
the water with circles

Now I’m only guessing for signs

Your shirt should just smell like me, but now it’s only you
yeah you got some explaining to do so won't you..
Clear my mind, did you have a butterfly fight?
Or is it someone new under you skin, come on and let me in.
'Cause this silent break is keeping me awake during the day, hey hey
are you listening to a single word I say?

Hide and seek, when love is a child hiding on the street
Cops and robbers, my undercover lover
Can't you see, that your stakeout is putting the take out on me
You see me counting down again
You see me counting down

Refill my cup or leave me half empty
‘Cause right now your spoon stirs me dizzy
dizzy as I am I’m still real friendly, friendly

So you wanna be like neighbours and chat?
Do you wanna be like brothers and sisters and that?
Well I don’t think that’s really clever
'cause friends forever is like never together

Hey how about this forecast? Oh ain’t the weather great!
No no no no wait, were in the wrong debate
'Cause this conversation’s getting old and totally misplaced
Hey hey, you're not listening to a single word I say

Hide and seek, when love is a child hiding on the street
Cops and robbers, my undercover lover
Can't you see, that your stakeout is putting the take out on me
You see me counting down again

9 8 7 6, your position is still to fix, and my eyes are closed again
5 4 3 and 2 I’m almost coming after you
1 and a half, oh baby do the math
1 zero here we go, I know you're not far
Come out wherever you are
Come out wherever you are

Do the hide and, hide and seek
Hide and, hide and seek
Hide and, hide and seek
Oh baby come and find me

Hide and, hide and seek
Hide and, hide and seek
Hide and, hide and seek
Oh baby come and find me

Hide and, hide and seek
Hide and, hide and seek

Hide and, hide and seek
Oh baby come and find me
