My Friend Amer

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

born to be told he best be gone
from the house he calls his home

my friend Amer wasn’t named after America

he was named by dad and mum
one day he’ll be named after his son
when he’ll be 33
and he’s nailed his degree

where do the flowers come from?

the officer at the border was perplexed
cause his passport says ‘XXX’

my friend Amer wasn’t named after America

he was asked then to explain
what exactly they would have to gain
and to be approved
he had to prove
that he had nothing left to lose

where does the power come from?

always be the wind and not the flag
echoes through the empty promised land

my friend Amer wasn’t tamed by master America

they say that ‘someone’s freedom can be seen
by measuring the intensity of their dreams’
in that case
in that case
you can never cage the brave

where does the coward come from?
