Snow Angels + + + picking up all frequencies at once ones you only hear perfectly still... i recall the snowfalling soft as geese white as the throat of that flower... {let me ly in your arms let me ly in your snow angels looking for signs in the sky following ghosts following visions i hear your breath sliding like a wing past my ear and see your footsteps scar the surface of the snow {let me ly in your arms let me ly in your snow angels no longer hoping no longer waiting no longer no longer hurting no longer waiting and no longer losing no longer searching no longer lost {let me ly in your arms let me ly in your snow angels
2.
Kill The Lights + + + it’s bright white won’t you kill the lights retrace steps moving right then left blown the leaves see the swingset swings everyday pulled down like paper shades damn the day how it hurts to leave a trace miles conspire to erase but i still see your face majesty, threadbare beauty no where town clotheslines blown down oh! backways by the trains the sky spills the last grim light shadows roll from my feet like bolts of fine black silk pale birds there where the heart was come close and they fly

The Ballad of Paper Ships on this night parting like oyster shells, the clouds on this night i see us riding through the cornfields cradled in your arms on this night i lay my burdens down to sink or to sail wishing boats farewell on this night memories like bits of paper blown around the streets at night ghosts casting netsuntil the morning light so, so close so close, we rocked like boats, anchored to go, to sail with abandon on this night on this night i’ve played my last good song so turn the record player on...

Between Twilight and The Morning + + + pretty baby, i hear the music drawing near it's in the wind it's in the tears it's in the space between twilight and the morning it's in the space between today and tommorrow pretty baby, i hear the moment drawing near it's in the cars it's in the gears it's in the space between twilight and the morning it's in the space between today and tommorrow hold me close now, i hear the midnight drawing near we're under a black sky and there's nothing we can do here in the space between twilight and the morn-ing here in the space between today and tommorrow so hold me close now, i hear drums drawing near all we have is there in this room dancing as the cars skid out making patterns, patterns, patterns in the snow and there's nothing, nothing, nothing we can do here in the space between twilight and the morn-ing here in the space between today and tommorrow, Oh! between today and tommorrow
5.
Ave Maria + + + ghost light and the street lights turn on and the moon reads this days last rights and it’s you that i think of when the girls sing... hallelujah, maria, maria all the blame drives the doves away and i saw it coming maria, maria and the clouds turn dark outside your kitchen window and the clouds sail by in the shapes of ships to carry you away hallelujah, maria, maria
6.
Small Birds + + + sleep, oh sleep, don’t make another sound winter flashes on the fieldslike home movies sleep, oh sleep, bright in the sky you are small birds thrown towards the naked moonlike stones there in the cold there in the fields there is a bright light shining can you see it? there in the cold there in the fields there is a black bell ringing can you hear it? can you hear it? bom, bom, bom!
7.
Harm + + + i just wanted the curve of your shoulder pressed between the pages of a book, just once i just wanted to sleep beneath the surface of the water, just once and that’s all i swear that’s all i didn’t mean you any harm i just wanted to drink a cupful of your tears, just once just wanted the drape of your body pulled between me and the world and that’s all i swear that’s all i didn’t mean you any harm i didn’t mean you any harm

about

odessa chen San Francisco, California

Cinematic and spectral, Odessa Chen’s music is a journey, intimate as a long held secret. Each song, like a tiny rowboat maneuvering in the dark, transports us to the deepest part of the lake where the stars shine brightest. Through despair towards transcendence each snapshot in time speaks of the romance of heightened experience, pivotal moments, and the rush of love. ... more
