about

Following his debut release ‘Sunset’, Olly is excited to announce his second single ‘Lavender’.

The warm and soulful song tackles Olly’s experience with mental health issues, especially coming on and off medication. This narrative is intertwined with his life as a working musician and presented in highly listenable and upbeat package!

“Class act” - Great Escape festival

‘Olly Davies is a 21 year old singer-songwriter from Guildford. He was the winner of the Fender Great Escape competition and played the opening set on the Fender paramount stage at the Great Escape festival in Brighton.’

lyrics

Deep breaths of Lavender
whilst reassessing my calendar
on both train and fretboard I’m a traveller
just seeing what lies ahead
Oh sofa surfing almost always rehearsing
my heart is near bursting for release
please please I need to breathe
can’t get no release

A pack of Parma violets takes the edge off
the night
I open up some red wine and surrender to the vibes
of sweet lavender yeah
lulling me to sleep
my body’s rocking back and forth like a ship far out at sea
my sweet lavender
I’m no criminal my doctor gave them to me

My dad bailed me out last week
can’t even seem to make my own damn ends meet
oh Lord knows I’ve been trying
ain’t been out drinking or fighting
just sat home writing
All these songs that I play at small gigs for low pay
oh life just won’t go my way

Well a pack of Parma violets takes the edge off
the night
I open up some red wine and surrender to the vibes
Of sweet lavender
Lulling me to sleep
My bodies rocking back and forth like a ship far out at sea
My sweet lavender

Red turns into blue out emerges
A purple hue
I don’t know what to do
I can’t fight it

A pack of Parma violets takes the edge off
the night
I open up some red wine and surrender to the vibes
Of sweet lavender

yeah
My bodies rocking back and forth like a ship far out at sea
My sweet lavender
My sweet lavender
