MP3: Sophie Zelmani - Yeah, okey
Even though the goofy Swenglish spelling of "Yeah, okey" sets the editor part of my brain on fire¹, the track was an immediate highlight for me as I dug into Sophie Zelmani's new album "The ocean and me". It's an internal dialog between the singer and the demons in her head. It starts: "Darkness, if I'm gonna spend all my time with you / You've got to be my friend / If I wanna be all alone with you / I've got to feel your hand" Does that sound copasetic to you? Granted, she does allow for light and love to be let in, but when she asks what she can do for the Darkness, that's what really worries me. I won't be in the way? Not okay. Save me from my crazy mind? Sounds like it might be too late.
¹Okay and okej are fine, okey is not. My fingers almost refuse to type it.
