lyrics

Are you okay?
It’s not like you to not pick up
I’ll call your mom
Try to find you at work
Fighting morbid imminence

I need you safe
I can’t pretend to be so tough
Soon we’ll be deeply in need
To discover innocence


Nantahala
Went rafting with the teens
Hyper focused
To get us safe downstream
Soon enough
Brother, you’ll see what I mean
Fall has come
And our willful ignorance must be swallowed up by urgency


You are okay
You’re not dead, can’t say the same
For your phone
Or even our friend
Rising early to mow lawns
Come Saturday
You’ll feel ashamed of your new job
Someone’s son drowns in his thoughts
But we must row on


Jacksonville bound
I couldn’t help but cry
Every desolate stretch of 75
You sent a song to me
Sang of how we would die
“Young birds flying”
I walked these Florida streets, watched for God to come and break the sky

Everything around is shaking
Spinning all around
Will the Earth realign?
I’ve never felt a breeze more sacred
Stretch my spine across this concrete
Pleading for life


Wake us up
Good God, wake us up
(Won’t You wake us?)


Wake us up
Good God, wake us up
(Won’t You wake us?)

Take us up
Good God, take us up


I’ll remember Perry, Georgia
But not for the annual fair
For the tears we shared
in the parking lot
of that Sonny's BBQ
And how I wanted to
be anywhere but there

"Sorrowful, yet always rejoicing"

Allen Odell's music aims to evoke that very description through the combinations of lyrics, melodies, and rhythms that range from down-tempo, droney, and introspective to bright, quirky, and self-deprecating. ... more
