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
We will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground

Before you came round
My heart would never beat much faster
Before you came round I was ready to slow down
Before you came round I was heading for a small disaster
Before you came round I was ready to blow me down

Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

Before I was found I felt like I could drain the ocean
Before I was found I didn't wanna breathe out
Now my soul beats a sound loud enough to quiet the thunder
A love with no doubt and now I'm never gonna slow down
Never gonna slow down

Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher
Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground
And we will talk with our head in the clouds
And we will walk with our feet on the ground

On the ground
On the ground
On the ground

Let it go, paint my body gold
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

Let it go, paint my body gold
We can go until the morning glow
We can go higher and higher and higher

Let it go, paint my body gold (and we will walk with our feet on the ground)
Take our bodies higher and higher and higher (and we will talk with our head in the clouds)
We can go until the morning glow (and we will walk with our feet on the ground)
We can go higher and higher and higher
