Dream Boat

from The Trunk by olmo

	/

Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
Impossible to box, this nine track body of work is an impressively unique record that will stay with you, long after you’ve finished listening to it.

“My music is about creating a temporary dream space that people can escape into. It’s a safe place where complex issues are sweetened up and turned into these little ear worms.”
Bearing an escape route from the trials of daily life, the world through Olmo’s music is much more palatable, even when he’s tackling the heaviest of issues.

lyrics

when the winds of worry come and wash over you will
and the blizzard of blame cuts your coat
when the storms that stir the stars spin you round the mast
and the rope of hope is round your throat

how do you keep your dream boat afloat?
how do you keep it swaying steady?
how do you keep your dream boat afloat?
how do you keep it swaying steadily home?

when you’re so far out
that every time you try to shout
the ocean of doubt drowns you out
and you can’t make a sound

when you need a tongue
and a pair of lungs
and you’re about to wake up

how do you keep your dream boat afloat?
how do you keep it swaying steady?
how do you keep your dream boat afloat?
how do you keep it swaying steadily home?
