OLI Delivers A Mind Altering “Cry"

Updated: Jun 1, 2023

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
