"Pale Soft Light" Live From the Old Franklin Schoolhouse.
This session was recorded live in February 2022 at the Old Franklin Schoolhouse in Metuchen, New Jersey. The schoolhouse is filled with history: built in 1807 as a single room school, it has been maintained by the Borough Improvement League of Metuchen. It's a small and intimate multi-purpose venue with a great vibe; perfect for this session. So, we packed up our entire recording studio and moved it into the schoolhouse - just the band and a small camera crew - and hit record.
Video Production by Matt Mahoney and Freddie Segro Mixed by Jay Sakong Engineered by Nunzio Moudatsos
"Pale Soft Light" Lyrics: Crafty and quiet are these two hands of mine. Climb down your spine like a ladder and slide to your sides. Crafty and quiet. Carefully scheming to bring home the kill. They're stopped by the warden in the valley, They run for the hills... carefully still. To hide in the pale soft light. Hide in the pale soft light. Crafty and quiet. Now that the guards have all gone back to bed, they head for the garden through the valley. They roll back your eyes. To hide in the pale soft light and stay there until this night feels like a memory that we are swimming in. Crafty and and oh so quiet aren't these hands of mine? They climb down from your spine down to the pale soft light. Keep us wrapped in the pale soft light.OWEL - Snowglobe / Death in the Snow (Live from the Old Franklin Schoolhouse)OWEL2022-11-03 | ⚠️ PHOTOSENSITIVE WARNING: This video contains flashes of light that could trigger seizures for people with visual sensitivities.

"So It Goes" Lyrics: When we have gone on From the earth Like all of it's creatures we are Fed on By the earth And all of it's creatures and so on And so it goes Some say we all get to go Back home
Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see Come find me
When we are long gone From the earth And all of it's troubles we may Be gone So it goes And some say we all get to go Back home
Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see When we are long gone
Back into the infinite Spaces in between The edges of what we know And what our eyes couldn't see Come find me Come find me Come find me Come find meTrailer: OWEL - Live from the Old Franklin SchoolhouseOWEL2022-09-15 | PREMIERES WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th at 9PM ET: youtu.be/L0XmIDTfL1Y

"Beneath the Static Haze" Lyrics: When did I get used to Hiding my face smiling with my eyes Knowing the world through A screen in my palm as the time ticks by Pretending to know
I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you
I must have gone under (in a sleep) Ages ago now I wake to find (that everywhere I see) Everyone's tired (On their knees) My friends all replaced their moms for wives Now I miss believing In something too good to be true There's just no place for A myth in the modern view
I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know you
And yet when we see each other in the flesh We barely say a word And if we do it's hollow Make plans that we both know We don't intend to follow I'd miss you more
If I wasn't used to Pretending to know you
I cozy up beneath the static haze Bury my head in the hive Take time away from what I love to make Time for something maybe someone will like Pretending to know youOWEL - Beneath the Static HazeOWEL2021-12-17 | Listen to "Beneath the Static Haze" on all digital platforms: https://linktr.ee/owelband

Lyrics: We meet for drinks at day time For the first time And all my lines you've heard About a dozen times before
If I could make You want me I could be myself at last It's a play And we're just reading lines from the first act
But we don't have to play along We could get by on our own So could we just not play along
And when your salad Hits the table I sense The regret that you will be Starving later When all I want is Is to connect to something real Then I'll go on about the weather
If I could take You by the hand and pull you close to me Then I could shake This feeling like we're playing out a scene
But we don't have to play along We could get by on our own So could we just not play along Because we both know where this goes Now we don't have to play No we don't have to play along
We kiss beneath the moonlight And for the first time I can feel light enough To just be carried by the flow
If I could make You want me maybe you could want to stay If only for a moment of a day Just long enough to shake these nerves away If I could
It's a play And we don't have to play along Along Along No we don't have to play

Lyrics: We were wrapped In the warmth Of a day dream Like a newborn Sound asleep Til someone pulled the sheets away We were cool In the shade Of ambition Of what could be made By desire made us tired And wishing never got us well Well
And now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I’d dream of ways to sleep forever I’ll lie and wait For the world to end
Never mind (never mind) My strange hesitation (every time) As you plot out the days Still ahead How I dread Breaking your heart again It’s not you That I can’t Quite imagine For the first dance It is me I don’t see Making it to dance with you You
Cuz now I lie awake Most nights Wishing I could cut these tethers If I could sleep Well then I could dream I’d dream of ways to sleep forever I’d lie and wait For the world to end
If I could only be holy again If I could only be whole again If I could only begin again

I dread the night I dread the dark Cuz it steals the light From where you are love How cruel the evening is to Deny my eyes of such a view
While you rest So heavy I’m restless Though you lay Beside me I miss you
Where do you go When your eyes close Some place you’ve been Or long to go to If only I could see where The current takes you in the storm
While you rest So heavy I’m restless Though you lay Beside me I miss you
If only I could see where The current takes you in the storm Well either way I’ll be here To greet you when you wash ashore
Though you lay Beside me I still miss you
#OWEL #IDreadTheNightOWEL - No Parachutes (Live from Quarantine)OWEL2020-06-05 | Thank you all for your submissions for the group vocals at the end of the song. We ended up using every single one! Some people sent melodies, some sent harmonies, some sang soft, and others yelled their hearts out. They were all so unique and different from one another and yet, when we put them all together, it became one beautiful thing.

#JimmyEatWorld #OWEL #WithMeOWEL - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight (The Postal Service Cover)OWEL2020-04-06 | When The Postal Service was making their record, 'Give Up,' they were rarely in the same room. Instead, they would send each other CDs through the mail, or so the story goes. Given our current climate, we thought this would be the perfect artist to cover. Hope you enjoy our take of "The District Sleeps Alone Tonight" in the second installment of our Quarantine Sessions.

I found a pebble for you And while I don't think it will do I'll find a billion more Until we can stack them all up And build us a place in the woods From this day and billions more
Find me by the bay Before the sun is down At our lighthouse There's not much I could say To show you just how Lucky I have been I love you oceans
We've both spent too many nights Cheeks pressed against our phones Wishing that you were home A hand written note in a jar For every day you were gone I'd write a billion more
Find me in the crowd At the marketplace On a Saturday There's nothing I could say To show you just how Lucky I have been I love you oceans
I heard the news And it's not good I've read the weather report Said it's pouring forever
But I looked outside And I saw you Sticking your tongue out And drinking from those clouds above you
Fluctuat nec mergitur Fluctuat nec
Everything's gone So wrong They say the air makes you sick Don't stay out there for too long
But then there you are Outside You don't seem to mind How the pesticides sit in your lungs
Then you turned to me and you smiled And motioned for me to come play for a while But I hid away as I dreamt of a day That I'd join you
Fluctuat nec mergitur Fluctuat nec
I heard the news And it's not good They say the monsters are loose And the city's on fire
But seeing you dance in the smoke Waving your arms like a beautiful idiot Makes me believe in the hopes of a day I'd join you
And while I shook at the door You ran towards the ocean to go for a swim And I saw the look in your eyes as the tide came To take you You loved itOWEL - Didnt I (Official Lyric Video)OWEL2019-04-26 | Listen and buy 'Paris' here: awal.lnk.to/Paris OWEL MERCH: http://www.partlycloudy.co/owel

You'll hurt yourself trying to smile When there's still the taste of lament in your mouth You'll twist a nerve just from the motion It's an act we don't have to do
I can sit and just be here And not have to be so terribly scared of silent air Just a body in the room The silence is scary, but it's a joke compared to talking to yourself I'll sit and just be here
And when the dread finally shifts Just enough for you to feel it's safe to talk again I'll be an empty vase For you to pour yourself in
Or I'll sit and just be here And not have to be so terribly scared of silent air And if all you'd like is a body in the room The silence is scary, but it's a joke compared to talking to yourself I'll sit and just be here
I'm empty whenever you're ready Whenever if ever If you feel like you may want to let me in Whenever if everOWEL - Making Paris Part 6OWEL2019-02-20 | Listen and buy 'Paris' here: awal.lnk.to/Paris OWEL MERCH: http://www.partlycloudy.co/owel
Let’s build a plane out of Styrofoam and cellophane And whatever’s left behind the shed Let’s cut across the Atlantic where we’ll both live off
Of Strange love with strangers
Packed to the roof with our plastic guns and hiking boots And we’ve left no room for parachutes This gasoline is enough to only get us to
Strange love with strangers God save us from this love
Let’s build a plane out of Styrofoam and cellophane And the scraps our parents threw away Let’s cut across the Atlantic where we’ll both live off
Of strange love with strangers There’s nothing here to keep me from This strange love of danger
And if this plane goes down then we all go down And then we all go down
Love
No parachutes No parachutes So, let’s get this right
(See you on the other side) If we get this right (See you on the other side) Or if we all go down (See you on the other side) If we get this right (See you on the other side) Or if we drown
Here's a cover we did of "Walking After You" by the Foo Fighters as requested by Janet O'Connell, one of our Indiegogo contributors. Thank you so much, Janet! Hope you enjoy.
