Oddisee – You Don’t Close Your Eyes

blame it on Shake May 24, 2011

Off the Winter selection of Oddisee’s new album, Odd Seasons, which is now available in both physical and digital formats.

You Don’t Close Your Eyes is about the dynamics of a relationship turned cold. Clever wordplay and an effortless cadence propel this insightful tale of domestic apathy, which finds Oddisee questioning what changed in his relationship: “restaurant parking lots seem like the spot in the plot were you like to talk a lot, where it used to be the spot in the plot where the windows was steamed because the heat coming off was hot.” Also along for the ride is frequent collaborator/keyboardist, Ralph Real, whose tenor adds an emotional intensity that helps accentuate the frustrations of unrequited love.
