about

The Covid-19 virus is giving everyone a real financial beating right now.
.
.
We're NOT using this as an opportunity to beg our equally-burdened fans for their money. This song is for YOU, and it's our free gift. That being said, today (3/20/2020) bandcamp is letting us artists keep 100% of our sales profits. If you choose to pay or donate some amount of money for this song, or anything else on our bandcamp page, we will treasure that generosity. We love you guys. Stay positive. Be creative. Don't panic. Don't lose hope.
.
.
Someday things will go back to normal.
Someday.

P.S. This is just a one-off single, not part of our new album. We recorded it in one day, in Alex's apartment. We might do more like this. Who knows what a quarantine may lead to... Hope ya dig. <3

lyrics

SOMEDAY, COME SOON by oblio

Someday’s for “asking out”,
Sharing our names.
Someday’s for jumping out…
Of old picture frames.
Someday’s for trading this
desk job for a dream.
Someday’s rekindling
Sex-life and Self-esteem.

All of this could be in our hands.
All of this could be in our hands.
Don’t sing along. Don’t sing along. Don’t say it with me.
My hand beside hers… Someday, come soon.
I heave a sigh and say “Someday, come soon.”

Someday’s for praying,
And finally getting answers.
Someday writes novels,
And pays career dancers.
And someday’s got a vaccine…
For every kind of illness.
Someday pays debts and
Builds homes for all the homeless.

All of this could be in our hands.
All of this could be in our hands.
Don’t sing along. Don’t sing along. Don’t say it with me.
Our hands are empty… Someday, come soon.
Hope, Love, and Plenty… Someday, come soon.

Sartre smiles because he knows this is our stop.
But when will I get my self off of his bus?

If all of this could be our hands.
Sing along. Sing along. Say it with me:
Our dreams, desires; Someday, come soon.
I heave a sigh and say “Someday, come soon.”

Fables
by Sweet Niece

Blake’s spooky indie-folk project he does with his wife Jesica. Features all the members of oblio on most of the songs, so it’s kind of like an oblio side-project, too! Very moody and vibey. oblio

FANFICTION.
by Free Parking!

Free Parking! is a punk band we love dearly... so much so that we produced and recorded their album "Fanfiction" for 'em. It's a killer album, & their other records are equally killer. Check it! oblio

Dead Ball Era
by Dead Ball Era

Blake & Alex (of oblio) started this LA folk-rock band a few years before oblio was formed. They were very young, but there's a few gems. It's a good next-step for oblio super-fans who want more. oblio
