With OLI's angelic voice I feel as if I’m transported to a digital universe where the voices are from above and I’m wondering, “Are the lyrics my own thoughts, or is it just the song I’m hearing?”


Mind control would come easy to this artist as the vocal pronunciations are wildly enthralling and create a vacuum of thought. The blend of haunting bass and piano hums the stress right out of your mind allowing you to just absorb the meaning. When being told to “cry”, by OLI I felt a sense of calm and relief that fits the power of a true poet. Helping someone achieve a thought and feel emotion through an expression of words and music is a wonderful talent and true artistic ability. As the song says, “We can wear a smile if we want to, but it ain’t always something that you should do”.

Cry Lyrics

[Intro] Does it feel like you've been floating through the silence? Narrowly avoiding every crisis, you're mindless Knowing you're putting it on And it's true We can wear a smile if we want to But it ain't always something that you should do You learn to cry when it's all going wrong [Pre-Chorus] And I'm so tired, I'm so tired Of watching it all 'Cause you're a liar, you're a liar Who cannot let go [Chorus] Don't hold back, let it out Don't resist, you're safe now Cry, don't it feel good? Cry River flow, down your mouth This is what life's about Cry, don't it feel good? Cry [Verse] Hold tight 'cause when you get it going It'll feel right, see it all again with a clear mind A new side, why did you wait for so long? Greatness will find you in a moment, it's contagious Every hurt you had now painless, you'rе weightless Right wherе you know you belong

[Pre-Chorus] And I'm so happy, I'm so happy You made a start And ain't it better When we treasure every fault? [Chorus] Don't hold back, let it out Don't resist, you're safe now Cry, don't it feel good? Cry River flow, down your mouth This is what life's about Cry, don't it feel good? Cry [Outro] Does it feel like you've been floating through the silence? Narrowly avoiding every crisis, you're mindless Knowing you're putting it on And it's true We can wear a smile if we want to But it ain't always something that you should do You learn to cry when it's all going wrong
