"Olly Alexander" by Johnny Darlin & Gandor Chorale

A little diddy about my #1 celebrity crush. Thank you to my favorite band Gandor Chorale for bringing this song to life with me :)

"Johnny Darlin: In the Closet" plays in the New York Fringe Festival August 14-26 and tickets are available here: goo.gl/GLXyOo

lyrics

I wanna marry
Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!

Nobody better,
Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!

You tell me it’s a fantasy,
You say he’ll never look at me;
But he’s already liked a picture on my Instagram.

(Not to mention -)

In the middle of the night he comes to me in my wildest dreams,
Reveals to me years and years its seemed
Life was going nowhere are history

Cause the air, it shifts, when we’re together
Olly Alexander

And Me.

I wanna marry
Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!
I wanna marry
Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!
Monogamy’s a stranger,
Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!

But not forever
(or with) Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander! Olly Alexander!

You tell me that he’s awful busy,

Got no time for a guy like me,
But he already liked a picture on my Instagram
(And don’t forget that - )

In the middle of the night he comforts me, makes me feel pretty
We speak only complex poetry
And our love surrounds us, somehow tangibly
While the earth’s core cools when we’re together
Olly Alexander

He comes to me in my wildest dreams,
I get on one knee, 
look up at my King,
Propose sweet nothings 
I’ve been told may mean,

"Can I be with you, my dear, forever,
Olly Alexander"?

In the middle of the night we drive away,
“Don’t look back,” he’ll say,
He loves me so,
 we're never letting go;
Dreams accelerate, yet all of time stands still,
Cause it’s “Clockstoppers” when we’re together

Olly Alexander

And me
<3
