[note to listeners]
From Solace is me taking a moment to bookmark my sound as not just a producer, but also as an artist and creative person. I’m reconciling with my flaws, as well as my past traumas, and hardships. With these 18 songs I took some moments and liberties to try finding peace in my pain, and I also took the effort to figure out where my drive to create art truly comes from, regardless of societal pressures and barriers that I like to consume myself with. I’m taking the things I enjoy most about music and meshing them into a controlled chaos, a project gargantuan in its influence, obliterated into smaller jigsaw pieces, then equalized and compressed to fit a singular idea for you to enjoy. I also return to performing vocals on a couple of songs, and others feature friends I’ve made along the way! Without the support of you and my loved ones that I hold close, I wouldn’t have made it through this compositional cycle, or even thought about making this disc, but here it is.
This is not an album for playlists, algorithms, or streams. It’s my most personal work on display.
Much love,

Jake (Ohpal)

[Lyrics]
Love it if you wanna go
down, down, down, (ye)
Love it if you wanna go
down, down, down, with me.
(why do I feel so down, why do I feel so..)

Would you pick up if I made the call?
Feels like its been years, I can barely talk
The world's too hype, there's too much noise
Would you even, hear my voice?
I type a text, read it again, and again.
45 minutes and I still can't send
I need to take it easy, why's it so hard to speak to a friend?

All I know are empty spaces
Why do I feel so down?

Before I hit send my phone rings low
Feels like it's been years since I heard the tone
Your name flashes across the screen
Heart races, anxiety.
I say "hello", my words echo
Then you crack a joke and I settle
You tell me "Your not the only one who's been going through battles"

You say you know the empty spaces
and how they can surround
you say together we can face them
And we can knock them down.

DOWN

[lyrics]
(Your head's in the clouds and I don't know why)
Flyin', you're flyin'
You're so high (so high)
Your head's in the clouds and I don't know why
Flyin', you're flyn'
You're so high (so high)
I just hope that you don't fall from the sky, and...

Where did you go to? (go to?)
I can't even see you (see you)
If you go too high (too high)
You'll only end up fallin'

Come down, don't be scared
It's safer down here
I'll be here to catch you
If you go too high

(High)
(Come down, don't be scared)
(Its safer down here)
(I'll be here to catch you if you go too high)

But I will catch you if you fall
Down to the ground
I know what it feels like to be high
You can't come down

Flyin', you're flyin' you're so high
(So high)
Have you even found what you're looking for?
Flyin', you're flyin' you're so high
Please don't forget me, I'm waiting for you, and..

Come down, don't be scared
It's safer down here
I'll be here to catch you
If you go too high

But I will catch you if you fall
Down to the ground
I know what it feels like to be high
You can't come down

HIGH

Song 10,000 is a work, but never progress
Refrains will always be part of the process
How long can I go till hard drives eject?
Emails always feel like rejection

There's always been blood leaking out my laptop
Peep said it but the world keep turning, "Don't Stop"
That's what they say but then who's there when your heart stops?
Don't you see the blood leaking out my laptop?

[Lyrics]
I'm too quick to put my thoughts into motion
Like a drop of water lost in the bottomless ocean
Lit the fire sittin under cauldrons
Let it bubble up I'm sippin on that potion
Stay on the track don't detract from the good signs
Keep looking back at the bad and the good times
Trying to hold back all the tears with my closed eyes
- all i know is that it's gonna be a good life - 

Imma be there, Imma be there
I - Imma be (x 1000)

Counting every cloud at sea
I lost the number once I start to see
The faces, places, stars in scenes that take the shapes of hearts and wings
Harness parts of art and dreams to spark the light, light the dark to breathe
Spark the light, light the dark to breathe
Spark the light, light the dark to breathe

(repeat hook)

GOOD LIFE (ft. MarkusDied)

I've been out here
An open ocean
I never fear
If wounds are open
It's never clear
Promise solutions
I've never lived my life
Hanging by a moment

From solace we find our
From solace we find our
From solace we find our
Home

Don't say goodbye
Don't make me cry, woah, oh
I'm faded again, but I won't give in to you

(woah)
Let's love like we're dying
More than I told ya
Pretend the whole world is ours
(oooooooh) We'll love like we're dying

DON'T SAY GOODBYE

[lyrics]
I sign my contracts and I make my cash
Then buy myself a home that time will outlast
I blaze with friends until we're smoke and ash
My hands go numb till I can't feel the contrast

I'll dance with the dead
Until I come back to life
Inside this plastic cell I call my
"Home" is far-fetched name
There's no escape
And I can't exorcise the demons in LA

(I'll dance-dance with the dead, dance with the dead)

Some part of living here has broke my back
Must be the nightmares on my memory-foam mattress
Might take vacation and I won't come back
This beat is hot enough to break my fever
And I can't hear what you said to me 
Stress and depression haunting me
No I can't hear what you thought of me (I wanted to hear everything)
He-said, she-said catastrophe
Society has got it's hellish grip on me

I'll dance with the dead
Until I come back to life
Inside this plastic cell I call my
"Home" is far-fetched name
There's no escape
And I can't exorcise the demons in LA

(I'll dance-dance with the dead, dance with the dead)

DEMONS IN LA (ft. Abbey Hunt)

[lyrics]
Feeling like I'm out of place
Maybe everybody makes mistakes
I just re-wired my brain lately
Can tell apart real from fake
Stuck up in an ignorant haze, I was
Compromising everything
Always thought there was a plan for me
Then I lost everything

I got too high
Now I'm feeling that low
That low, low, low
Maybe I'll grow, grow, grow
I got too high
Now I'm feeling that low
That low, low, low
When it comes down slow

Stayin' up for days
Making money, so deranged
Imma throw it in the bank
And I'll cry another day
Have you ever asked what the meaning is?
Have you ever asked why you're suffering?
Need a miracle, need a miracle
Need a miracle, suffer from the low

I got too high
Now I'm feeling that low
That low, low, low
Maybe I'll grow, grow, grow
I got too high
Now I'm feeling that low
That low, low, low
When it comes down slow

Suffer from the low when it comes down slow

He will never let me go, never let me down

WHEN IT COMES DOWN (LOW)

[lyrics]
Every time I swear I'm in love (I'm in love)
I seem to get a sign from above (from above)
You're holding me down so I run (I run, I run)
Whatever happened to us? (what happened?)

Everything I swear I wanted (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I took it all for granted (why?)
You're slipping through my fingers (like dust)
Turning to dust on the granite

I don't know where I'm going
Tidalwaves they're controlling
I'm always ebb and flowing
I guess I'll just have to roll with it

Every day (every day)
Holding onto memories that I had (I keep holding on)
Knowing that you're never coming back (I know you're gone)
Spending all this time I have alone (alone)
Alone (alone)

Put my heart in a bottle, you broke it in half
Took all the pieces and smashed the glass
Smashed the glass (smashed the glass)
Smashed the glass

I don't know where I'm going
Tidalwaves they're controlling
I'm always ebb and flowing
I guess I'll just have to roll with it
I don't know where I'm going
Tidalwaves they're controlling
I'm always ebb and flowing
I guess I'll just have to roll with it

Don't know where I'm going
Always ebb and flowing
On the river of time
On the river of life
I can see the light

I don't need you to be my everything
I only need you to tell me how you're feeling
I'm sorry
I let you down
It won't happen again

So tell me how you're, tell me how you're feeling
When you give it all, and I don't care at all
It won't happen again

I don't need you to be my everything
Because you always have been
I was depressed with a habit
I'm still sorry that I let you down
It won't happen again

So tell me how you're, tell me how you're feeling
When you give it all, and I don't care at all
It won't happen again
Tell me how you're feeling
When you're reminded of home
And those nights were cold
It won't happen again

Feeling overwhelmed sometimes
It's fine, its fine, its fine
You're still alive
I'm in a heady mess sometimes
It's alright, alright
That's what your here to fight
Life's not a mess, no
It's not a mess
But is there anything else to this or is the present just downpour from my past

Save your breath
Before the rain precipitates and you
Feel yourself
Start to overthink again

Ignorance is bliss sometimes
It's fine it's fine it's fine
You're in the dark
Leave it at the curb sometimes
Your fault, your fault, your fault
For not watching the news
A bystander, yeah
In a world of hurt
But is there anything else to this or is the present just downpour from my past

Save your breath
Before the rain precipitates and you
Feel yourself
Start to overthink again

DOWNPOUR

Don’t Look, Don’t Look
Don’t Look Down


Taking it one step at a time 
Giving it the best I can try
Holding back no thing that is mine 

Breathing with every moment that goes 
Moving through all the motions no more 
Pushing past the pressure to give no more 

You are where I’m going 
Eyes fixed I’m focused 
Here we go I’m hoping 

Don’t You Look Oh So Down
Don’t You Keep Your Head To The Ground
Don’t You Look Oh So Down 
Don’t You Don’t You

Don’t Look, Don’t Look
Don’t Look Down

Taking it one step at a time 
Giving it the best I can try
Holding back no thing that is mine 


You are where I’m going 
Eyes fixed I’m focused 
Here we go I’m hoping 

Don’t You Look Oh So Down
Don’t You Keep Your Head To The Ground
Don’t You Look Oh So Down 
Don’t You Don’t You


Don’t Look, Don’t Look
Don’t Look Down

DON'T LOOK DOWN (ft. Brian Thomas)

[lyrics]
You led me into oblivion
And I just followed 
You gave me a taste of what could've been
I feel hollow
Tell me it's over
Let me down
Oooh, until it's over
Let me down

Gave me a taste of what could've been, could've been

I stumbled around in another world
feeling my way
I wonder if I will ever learn
maybe someday
tell me it's over 
Let me down
Oooh, until it's over
Let me down

Gave me a taste of what could've been, could've been

You led me into oblivion, I just followed
You gave me a taste of what could've been, could've been

OBLIVION (ft. MarkusDied)

Go on if you want it
Another world awaits you
Don't you give up on it
And bite the hand that feeds you

Frequency detain me
So I can erase the
Pressure of my pain 
Inside my own brain, inside my own brain

OTHERWORLD

Ohpal is the brainchild of music producer, composer, and songwriter Jacob Reed Williams. Starting off as a covid-lockdown excuse to return to his EDM roots back in 2020, Ohpal has gone from a pet project to a provocative sound that can fit in any lane. Some refer to his sound as “genre-less”, comparing him to artists like Porter Robinson, DROELOE, and glaive.
