    The EP, titled Buffalo Boyfriend – In Colour features four songs from the duo’s extensive original repertoire and is the result of three years of writing and playing music between Rachel Beinke and Alana Jagt.
    The girls both started life in rural South Australia, from Whyalla and Cowell to Napperby and Crystal Brook; they eventually got together in Adelaide to form the duo and began to write their own material. Their music is a blend of folk and pop with a hint of ‘Americana’ sounding country. Featuring truthful lyrics complimented by haunting vocal melody and harmony lines, their voices blend together as well as blue and yellow on a painter’s palette.

about

Tom was the first song that Alana wrote and the first original that Buffalo Boyfriend started playing back when they formed. The song was a recent winner of SCALA's FOOM competition. It is about Tom Bombadil from Lord of the Rings, a favourite book of Alana's since childhood.

lyrics

Light on the budding leaf,
dew on the heather, he is as you see him.

Lilies on the water, in the deepest river,
mother natures son and keeper.

Beyond all thought and memory and Willow on the bank,
you know he was there and living.

Hi Ho Merry Doll, Tom is on his way,
no need to fear any more.
Bright as a summers day, light as the rain,
you know that he is the master.

Who are you, in the dark, alone in thought and nameless?
you are you as he is he.

He knew the Earth beneath the heavens back when they were fearless,
there are no secrets to unfold.

Hi Ho Merry Doll, Tom is on his way,
no need to fear any more.
Bright as a summers day, light as the rain,
you know that he is the master.

He will sing you a song of the days of old,
the trees and the water.
And don't forget that river daughter.

Eldest and fatherless his door is always open,
but once you leave, then he's gone.

Hi Ho Merry Doll, Tom is on his way,
no need to fear any more.
Bright as a summers day, light as the rain,
you know that he is the master.
