about

"but inside only, reliably and at a relentless pace,
i’m recounting situations old and new
memories near and far
facts and figures, lyrics and passing phrases"

lyrics

Here and now
Where we are in a playhouse
The safest sound
Like we’re lost in a dream
Awake, I’ve found
I return to the same few memories
But this river that’s been flowing

It’s running like its mad
And you’ve said things you can’t take back
And would you if you could
I hold on to you tight, more than I should

I wasn’t ready for this information
Now I wanna leave and let you down
But you’re something of my own creation
Here and now, now
I’m such a sucker for this kind of loving
When I see you there behind a screen
With a radio forever humming
Till we sleep at night
Dream in green

Tornado clouds
They’ve been dragging us deeper and deeper
The strangest sounds keep me locked in a room
So what do we do when we drown in the deepest blue
From that river that’s been flowing

And don’t you think it’s strange
How we are taught to keep the colors inside of their lines
When autumn shows us sunsets every time

I wasn’t ready for this information
Now I wanna leave and let you down
But you’re something of my own creation
Here and now, now
I’m such a sucker for this kind of loving
When I see you there behind a screen
With a radio forever humming
Till we sleep at night
Dream in green

Another year
What’s it mean to be older
And things are weird
Ages since we were small
I know this fear right here is one I’ll always hold
Till I sleep at night
Dream in green

Olive Avenue Chicago, Illinois

Olive Avenue’s songs are crafted as modern love letters to classic pop writing, where soaring melodies and complex harmonies melt into technicolor guitars. Chicago artist Ryan O’Toole explores themes of intimate friendship, late-stage capitalism, and growing beyond adolescence in a world somewhere between dreams and reality. ... more
