Summer slow jam meets moody heartbreak track

lyrics

Silver screen
At least that’s what the mirror’s supposed to be
A movie scene, yeah
Seems like that’s all there is you see in me

Every night ends up the same
All we do is play our games
Running circles, tossing ‘round the blame
At first you say we should talk
Next thing you get up and walk
Moments later you’re in my arms again

Tell me what you want and we’ll be fine
There’s no reason, there’s no need to lie
We don’t have to waste our precious time
So tell me what you want and we’ll be fine

Should I stay?
Can hardly tell if I am friend or foe
Can barely sleep, yeah
Yet I lay your head on a velvet pillow

Every night ends up the same
All we do is play our games
Running circles, tossing ‘round the blame
A faded picture no one will see
A broken reel, a shattered dream
If this romance, it’s a crying shame

Tell me what you want and we’ll be fine
There’s no reason, there’s no need to lie
We don’t have to waste our precious time
So tell me what you want and we’ll be fine

Sometimes it starts to show
The comfort we used to know
All of those years ago
No pain and no sorrow
And when I think back
It’s not just through rose-tinted lenses for sure
So how is it possible?
How did we stoop so low?

Girl, tell me what you want and we’ll be fine (tell me what you want and we’ll be fine)
There’s no reason, there’s no need to lie (no need to lie)
Show your cards, I promise I’ll show mine (I’ll show mine)
So tell me what you want and we’ll be fine (oh)
(No need to no need to no need to no need to no need to lie)
(Am I just a movie scene?)
(Am I just a silver screen?)

Oliver Hu Los Angeles, California

On his new single, “Silver Screen,” Oliver Hu strikes the perfect balance between summer slow jam and moody heartbreak track. Based around a auto-wah guitar lick, Oliver croons of relationship miscommunication over a laid-back beat and a snappy bass line. Though references to classic ‘70s soul artists abound, “Silver Screen” is 2022 through and through, at the intersection of modern R&B and lo-fi. ... more
