im obsessed :) might use this as my grad song next year haha

Olivia Wendel originally wrote “Portland” in 2018, pre-pandemic while riding the 1 train home from her restaurant job. During the shift, a customer asked her if she’d ever been to Portland Oregon, somewhere they thought she would really enjoy. This song was her response to that conversation and the feeling of wanderlust she felt while watching the sun go down over the Hudson River as the 1 approached 125th street. Now in 2021, as New York City begins to emerge out of quarantine, the song resonates completely differently for Olivia. It’s a song that finds beauty in the places we call home, while longing for the possibility of traveling and getting lost in a new places. Recorded last summer almost entirely remotely, producer Jeff Peters and Olivia worked to achieve a production that is buoyant and hopeful, while allowing the melody line to wander around and explore.

Portland

Wish upon
A shining star
 Find what burns
In your heart

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to 

And if you are 
Unsure of 
The way things go 
Don’t give up 
Don’t lose hope 

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to
 
Put your hands 
By the fire 
We’re a long way from home 
Try to stay warm 
Rest your eyes
 If you’re tired
I’ll hold you in my arms
Keep you safe from the storm

From the storm
From the storm

Water from the Mountain

Disappearing Light

Stuck

Solo singer-songwriter The Hollow Men’s new single is about leaving a euphoric state of mind and coming down to a place of sadness and depression… about wishing to get back to positivity while being so low, that you almost forget how it feels to be happy. It has a different vibe to THM's earlier releases, focusing more on piano than guitar, and is his second (following previous single 'Silence') that's been fully written, performed and mixed solely by The Hollow Men.

Lyrics:

I never thought that you were listening
I thought you gave up from the start
But all the while you were in position
To hold me and protect my heart

And I know I’ve done you wrong
But I can’t do this alone

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run

This time I know it will be different
Cause I can see you in the light
I don’t understand what’s missing
But you're always show me what’s right

And I know I’ve done you wrong
But I can’t do this alone

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run

I’m turning inside out
Loosening my doubts
They’ve all but washed away
Forget the things I said
Forget the tears we’d shed
This time I can say that
I don’t want to lose you now
I don’t want to lose you now

I don’t want to lose you now
We’ve only just begun
I don’t want to lose you now
I won’t be the one to run
I won’t be the one to run 
I won’t be the one to run

Lyrics

Happy Just To Know

Where did you go last time we met,
Now spring has come like an old friend,
The fever hits me like a wave,
Now winter’s gone I feel so brave.

Each time I see your face
It sooooooo
Each time I catch you gaze
I woooooooo

Happy just to know
It’s never far to go, cause
I can’t be lonely
If we’re together
I’ll come hold your hand
If you just tell me when, cause
You make me, happy,
when we’re together now.

I can’t sit still, but I can’t move,
I just can’t seem to play it cool.
Sometimes I forget to breathe,
Why can’t I wear it on my sleeve?

Cause each time I see your face
It sooooooo
Each time I catch you gaze
I woooooooo

Happy just to know
It’s never far to go, cause
I can’t be lonely
If we’re together
I’ll come hold your hand
If you just tell me when, cause
You make me, happy,
when we’re together now.

When you wore that calico dress,
and you stole my heart with a kiss,
I can’t stand what we could’ve missed.

Happy just to know
It’s never far to go, cause
I can’t be lonely
If we’re together
I’ll come hold your hand
If you just tell me when, cause
You make me, happy,
when we’re together now.

Happy just to know
It’s never far to go, cause
I can’t be lonely
If we’re together
I’ll come hold your hand
If you just tell me when, cause
You make me, happy,
when we’re together now.

Happy Just To Know

Lyrics:
I got caught hopping trains to the west side of Berlin
Not the kind to run away from a race that I can win
Spent the fare on faces I got tattooed on my skin
I’ll never learn
Like the time I said I love you to a heart I had to break
But you can’t call me romantic if I don’t believe in fate
It’s hard to be the one who fell in love with my mistakes
And that I know
Oh I know

You can’t find me on a map
Cause even I’ve been losing track
And I don’t know where I’ll wake up tomorrow

Ooh
Find me where the sun goes down
Ooh
Find me where the sun goes down

Got way too drunk in Budapest
And I never thought twice
About sharing strangers cigarettes
Another drunken vice
I’d rather wake up feeling dead than have a lifeless night
Of that I know
That I know

I know that I can’t change the past
It’s the only one I know
I can’t say what the future holds but I know I’m not alone
Cause’ all the hell I been through I don’t talk about to show
That I don’t need a place to call home

Where The Sun Goes Down
