Odette - Don’t [Video]
Plucked strings and piano roll beneath a song Odette was hesitant to write
“Don’t” is an uncomfortable song for the Sydney-based singer-songwriter Odette, and she almost rushes through the lyrics, helped along by a layer of piano and pizzicato strings that roll like waves through the song. It’s a listening experience that lingers.
Odette explains:
‘Don't’ is for someone who used to be very close to my heart. I’ve been hesitant to write a song for them because I still feel very ashamed about that time in my life. I was a very volatile, scared and controlling person for many years in this friendship. I didn’t want anyone to leave me alone with how I was feeling, and I was also experiencing intermittent psychosis and delusions, and because of that, I became someone who caused a lot of harm to people I deeply love and care about.
“Don’t,” is the latest single from Odette’s third album, Blink, out on November 6. Listen to our Song Pick of the Day on your favorite streaming service, or watch the video below:
