Halloween has just come to an end and we are now officially moving into the holiday season. Here at OM, the holiday spirit is already in the air with our Christmas tree standing tall in the office while our newly repaired SONOS speaker (after many hours of hard work fixing) plays the new Christmas music of our amazing artists! We’re excited to share with you some of the new shows and projects that our artists have going on for the holiday season!

Some of Our Favorite Lyrics by Our Artists

by Maddy Hicks

Not only are our artists amazing performers, but they are also exceptional songwriters. I wanted to highlight a few lyrics of theirs that make us smile, cry, and feel all the feels.

“So while you sit by the fireplace reading poetry

I will love every word that you say to me”

Alex Blue - “Mary”

“I was wrong

I'm sorry

And I love you”

Derek Webb - “I Was Wrong, I’m Sorry & I Love You”

“I knew it in the month of you

In the middle of your living room”

Christina Cone, Andrew Doherty (Frances Cone) - “’93 or ’94”

“The morning is made for the touch of your skin

The morning is made for ‘I love you’ again”

Jill Andrews, Peter Groenwald (Hush Kids) - “Morning Is Made”

“You’re like swimming in the river in the darkness

Never have to question where my heart is”

Jill Andrews, Trent Dabbs (Jill Andrews) - “River Swimming”

“We are raindrops in a river

One day we’ll all be memories

To be lost is to be looking”

Peter Groenwald, Fiona Bevan, K.S. Rhoads (Peter Groenwald) - “We Carry On”

“So what are you doing?

If it's no bother

Could I come over?

Hide under your covers

I swear I won't ask much

I've learned how to beg, steal, and borrow your love”

Ruthie Collins, Rick Brantley (Ruthie Collins) - “Beg Steal Borrow”

“Well, I been reelin’, left with my demons

But I still got feel

in’ in my arms and legs

And I’ve been thinking I’ll ride the blinds now

Maybe find a new town

One where I can see again”

Zachary Gibson Smith (Smooth Hound Smith) - “Waiting for a Spark”

“I keep in tax on all of the innocence I′ve lost

And all the mistakes that got me here

I've always felt a night like this was sure to come

Rain would finally let on”

Street Corner Symphony - “Myriad of Stars”
