about

Hallmarked with Henderson’s typically wry humour and canny lyricism, “​Hey Batman​” finds the singer-songwriter envisaging an ageing caped crusader in existential crisis. With the future of the Dark Knight in doubt, this intriguing single offers wistful epiphany as Henderson ruminates deeply on themes of legacy, mortality, and the inevitability of change. Speaking about the track Henderson says:

“​One thing that’s certain in life is that we all get older. With that inevitability comes the possibility that both we and our heroes are surpassed by new ideas and either disappear, become irrelevant or, worse, become anachronistic clanging bells. The only way to embrace getting older, however challenging it may be at times, is to accept that things change, remain curious and open to new ideas and resist the temptation to settle.

lyrics

HEY BATMAN
Hey there Batman
Haven’t seen you in a while
Looks like you’re type of crime
Is going out of style

Hey there Batman
Nothing’s going down
Just some big mouthed kid
Thinking he’s profound

How the dark night fades away
In the light of a brand new day

Hey there Batman
I think that bird has flown
Now you’re working for the man
And Robin’s run away from home

Hey there Batman
Has it come to this
The good ones are killing time
The bad ones are taking the piss

How the dark night fades away…

There’s no telling where you’ve been in that disguise
But there’s a kid round here who’s really got your eyes

Hey Batman
Have you heard the news
Some joker on the street
Is walking in your shoes

How the dark night fades away
