📝 Lyrics:

Don't sit around and say leave me be
For the day is a-wasting you'll see
It's already time to fly up above that great big blue sky
And look down, oh can't you tell me what you see

Don't wait around and watch the leaves all fall
One by one you'll never count them all
So show me, my friend, how the days ahead will change me
And where you'll be when you can't stay

So take off your shoes
The places that you've been stick to their soles
And carry with you
All the prizes that modern men can't hold
When their souls are starving for something new

Oh, the wind at our backs blows so fast
Can't turn your head to recall any past
So show me, my friend, where life begins and daydreams end
And where you've always been if not here today

Lyrics:
Off on the current of my thought stream,
Memories haunt unmoving minds
Pulled through the ruins where my fears dream,
Stuck lighting candles in lost shrines

Oh, pushed through mazes undefeated
Scared of the failures love could find
Oh, left in an autumn uncompleted
There in the background of time

Oh, caught like birds on a string
You’re never free when you’re alone
Oh, lost like snow in the spring
Fading fast when far from home

Oh, deep in the grove of recollection
Far from the creek we stood beside
Back to the calling and the question
Kept where my reveries reside

Oh, I wonder what’s left of our fire ring
Is it just rocks on the ground?
Oh, left in our ashes ever tiring
Always safe but never found

Oh, caught like birds on a string
You’re never free when you’re alone
Oh, lost like snow in the spring
Fading fast when far from home
Lost on another lover, lost on another lover, lost on another lover

📝 Lyrics:

Leave the lights off when you go
I don’t wanna know
Keep some flowers for your hair
I don’t care
Beam the brights on down the road
On your ride back home
In this town someone can spring out of nowhere
And I swear you came out of nowhere

I’ve been waiting on the darkness to cool me down
And I’ve been looking for someone to understand this bluebird
That just comes around to figure out the verses
To her new songs
By my window with a beauty that just curses the room

Leave the wreckage where it lay
I just want to stay
And watch the tide crest in what love’s left as fires play
Hide and seek
Shake the angels from their catbird seat
And dive into the waves
And we can laugh as oceans crash up tears on our face
I don’t care if I’m keeping my heart safe

I know clouds will bring a darkness to cool me down
I'm just looking for someone to understand this bluebird
That just comes around to figure out the verses
To her new songs
By my window with a beauty that just curses the room

And it goes la da da da da da da da da da
It goes la da da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da da

Leave the lights off when you go
I don’t wanna know

Take Me Home

Oktoba is the project of Alt-folk singer songwriter Chris Athorne.

Based in Brighton, Chris’s music speaks of life, love and everything in-between.

Drawing inspiration from Damien Rice, Bon Iver and Kurt Vile. Oktoba’s latest album ‘What a Life’, released September 2022, is a collection of Chris’s most personal tracks to date and has been acclaimed to be his best work yet. Written in a time of becoming a father and the emotional road it takes to get there. It reflects on a time of age and change, moving from youth too adult. With songs of reflection in tough times and the care and love we cherish from those closest to us.
‘What A Life’ is a real example to the honest depths and quality of Chris as a songwriter.

Oktoba’s music has featured over multiple episodes of Love Island, Amazon Prime’s popular series Clarkson’s Farm and Spotify curated playlists. As well wide support from BBC introducing, Amazing Radio and Sofar sounds around the world.
