These Waves

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

we sway for days
to and fro
both rowing in seamless flow

our floating nest
and the treasure in your chest
is starting to feel like home

the clouds that surround us are darkening
a storm starts to form out of anything
our boat uncontrollably begins to spin
these waves oh they come crashing in

for weeks we speak
over the boat creaks
and the sea turns a deeper blue

when face to face
i realise that pain
is not recognising you

we start to row more rapidly
towards the line where sky and sea
meet in such steady symmetry
away from these waves hopefully

for months we dance
side to side
with the mouth of the moon and the tide

our salted skin
is hardening
when under the sun it dries

these waves oh they’ve been confusing me
i know what you owe and that you’re using me
but look! could that be a speck of land i see?
that stands in the distance unwavering

when after years
under the tears
we couldn’t row a metre more

the thrust of these waves, dear
pushed us safely both to shore

the thrust of these waves, they
pushed us safely both to shore

the thrust of these waves ,they
pushed us safely both to shore
