On October 16, 2024, Oklou released “obvious” alongside “harvest sky” as the second singles from her debut album, choke enough. The two tracks differ greatly in their temerity; “obvious” is a contemplative journal entry concerning the forces and systems at play in our world, and how they are easier...
[Intro]
(Isn't it obvious?)
(So obvious)
(Isn't it obvious?)
[Verse 1]
All the words that you say (On and on, isn't it obvious?)
One actor in the play (Anyway, so obvious)
Speak louder than me, I know you will
Speak louder than me
[Chorus]
(Isn't it obvious?)
(So obvious)
(Isn't it obvious?)
[Verse 2]
Flowers grow quietly (On and on and)
Forces in everything (I can't see)
Speak louder than me (I know they will)
Speak louder than me (Isn't it obvious?)
Speak louder than me (So obvious)
Forces I can't see (Isn't it obvious?)
Speak louder than me
[Bridge]
You got pretty much everything you need to get by (Isn't it obvious?)
You get pretty lost when you try to figure it out (It's so obvious, so, so—)
(You got pretty much everything you need)
Speak louder than me
[Chorus]
It's so obvious
So obvious
obvious was written by Oklou & Cecile Believe & Casey MQ.
‘obvious’ has got many names in the past; but i love this one cause this track feels very close to what defines a special tone in my music , in a core-ish way. It also talks about something dear to my heart : music vs words.
