Lyrics
[Intro]
(Mellow kora harp soloing softly, talking drums tapping a relaxed pattern, smooth bassline)
[Female Vocalist]
(Silky vocal humming)
Odo... my odo... mmm, yeah
[Verse 1]
[Male Rapper]
(Laid-back, conversational rap flow with Ghana pidgin and Twi)
Charley, look at the way that you smile in the dark
Right from the jump, girl, you left a big mark
No time for the rushing, we taking it slow
Letting the feelings and energy grow
Medaase for loving a boy like me
Making my spirit so happy and free
I promise to stay and to hold down your hand
Finest alignment inside of the land
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Kora strings chording softly, rich background harmonies)
Akwaaba to a love that is sweet and divine
Everything is falling perfectly in line
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Lush, rich vocal melody, wide soulful harmonies, romantic and smooth)
You are my odo, the light of my day!
Washing the clouds and the shadows away!
Yeah, you are my odo, the light of my day!
With you by my side, I am forever okay!
[Verse 2]
[Male Rapper]
(Smooth, rhythmic storytelling delivery, relaxed baseline)
Yeah, listening to the rain hit the window pane
Erasin' the stress and erasin' the pain
You bring out the peace that I wanted to find
Leaving the noise of the city behind
Charley, they talk but they don't know the story
We skip all the drama and head for the glory
So lean on my shoulder and clear out your head
Remembering every sweet word that I said
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Lush, rich vocal melody, wide soulful harmonies, romantic and smooth)
You are my odo, the light of my day!
Washing the clouds and the shadows away!
Yeah, you are my odo, the light of my day!
With you by my side, I am forever okay!
[Verse 3]
[Male Rapper]
(Laid-back, deep reflective flow, guitar and kora blending)
Look, the moon is sitting high and the world is asleep
But the promises we made are the ones that I keep
I hear the talking drum whisper your name in the dark
Like a beautiful fire that started right from a spark
No treasure or gold in this world could compare to your worth
You're the sweetest alignment I've found on the face of the earth
So let the music keep playing, let the baseline slide
Long as I'm walking this life with you right by my side
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Lush, rich vocal melody, wide soulful harmonies, romantic and smooth)
You are my odo, the light of my day!
Washing the clouds and the shadows away!
Yeah, you are my odo, the light of my day!
With you by my side, I am forever okay!
[Bridge]
[Male Rapper]
(Drums pause completely, acoustic kora and talking drums soloing smoothly together)
Yeah. From Accra down to the ocean side. Just you and me.
[Female Vocalist]
(High emotional vocal belt, sliding velvet notes)
Medo wo paa, my love will never die!
Look at the stars shining up in the sky!
[Chorus]
[Female Vocalist]
(Full instrumentation returns softly, deep sub-bass, maximum vocal warmth)
You are my odo, the light of my day!
Washing the clouds and the shadows away!
Yeah, you are my odo, the light of my day!
With you by my side, I am forever okay!
[Outro]
[Female Vocalist]
(Soft kora notes fading out, peaceful talking drum taps)
My endless odo... forever okay...
[Male Rapper]
(Relaxed final spoken sign-off)
Yeah. Keep it chill, charley.
(Kora final chord rings out to silence)
