There’s a quiet comfort in honouring those who we’ve loved and lost. The Black Cat Bones tap into that feeling with “Something That You Said” — a heartfelt tribute to their late vocalist, Kobus de Kock Jnr.
With rich instrumentation and production from Onset Music Group, this song isn’t just a farewell, it’s a way to keep the spirit of Kobus alive. And you see that in the accompanying music video, featuring clips of the late singer, showing him doing what he loved.
And yet “Something That You Said” doesn’t simply feel like a swan song. Rather, it evokes a sense of peace. Peace not only for the departed but for those left behind, sort of like a final sense of acceptance. Along with this, Gareth Wilson’s sometimes gruff delivery adds an extra emotional touch to the otherwise heartfelt track.
“Kobus de Kock Jnr wasn’t just a performer – he was a presence, a force, a storyteller whose voice echoed deep into the soul of every fan who heard him.” This is how the band describe their fallen brother.
“This single stands as a sonic monument to that legacy,” they continue, “and a gentle reminder that we carry the memory of our loved ones not just in sorrow, but in song. We’ll miss him forever.”
When grief sneaks up on you unexpectedly, this song might be something you’ll want to reach for. Gentle, honest and full of heart, “Something That You Said” is more than a tribute. It’s a healing hymn.
