    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    The new single by the up-and-coming singer-songwriter and the lead track off his debut EP, out in September.

    It's an exceptionally catchy, guitar-driven song, which feels brimming and complete with the addition of a rich drum track, as well as electronic organ and marimba.

    This mere song gives a promising outlook into Olaf's "Horizons" EP, which should be a mix of fast and slow songs with true character.

lyrics

1) A few signal towers away, your message sends
Sends a smile to my face
A few feet under the powerline, I stand
(We're only bound by powerlines)
(Towering high above our minds)
I stand here with you on my mind

CHORUS:
Carrying a shoebox full of empty postcards,
Horizons seem distant, you're somewhere beyond
A broken compass; I'm guided by uncertainty
You're in my head, but far from my eyesight

2) Without the rain, there will be no rainbows
Without goodbyes, there'll be no reunions
Houses of cards are fragile but they do not always fall,
There may be no friends around but you're not lonely at all,
Houses of cards are fragile but they do not always fall.

CHORUS:
Carrying a shoebox full of empty postcards,
Horizons seem distant, you're somewhere beyond
A broken compass; I'm guided by uncertainty
You're in my head, but far from my eyesight

3) Why don't we meet on the bankside?
Take my hand and jump right in?
Let's swim in the water and let us cohere,
You're not convinced, because you're with another guy,
But maybe one day we could give it a try?
