It's been a decade since we started Oh Wonder. On September 1st 2014 we released our first song ‘Body Gold’, and made a commitment to write, record and release one song on the first of every month for a year. That crazy idea culminated in our self-titled album, which launched a beautiful ten years of making music and touring the world a few times over. We are so grateful to those 13 songs, but looking back we made them with one keyboard, one microphone and barely any idea what we were doing. Since then, we’ve sung those songs hundreds of times on stage, and now they somehow mean even more to us. We wondered… what would it be like to record them 10 years on? With access to real instruments and a studio? How would we play them now? How would we sing those lyrics now? Join us as we re-record and release one song a month. Hopefully it’ll sound like you’re listening to your favourite song, but with a brand new pair of headphones on. So we present to you… our first album, 10 years on.

LYRICS
You got diamonds in your eyes tonight
Throwing fire, trying to make it right
You're getting higher than the ceiling lights
And falling hard enough to lose the fight

Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment, paying for the kill
Golden grill of sadness, mid-life wasted youth
Always ends up like this, always gonna lose

Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money
That money, that money

There's a human in your heart of hearts
Hiding true colours made you fall apart
In the mirror you're a work of art
But this is real life, real life

Not in it for the money, just in it for the thrill
Living in the moment, paying for the kill
Golden grill of sadness, mid-life wasted youth
Always ends up like this, always gonna lose

Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money
That money, that money

Give me neon lights, roll me paper highs
I can feel the dice, cooling me
See the plastic life
Through my bloodshot eyes
I am wild alive, I am wild alive

Dazzle me, dazzle me, dazzle me with gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money, that money
Dazzle me, dazzle me, throw away your gold
You'll never be what you wanna be with all that money
That money, that money
