Okay 03:50
The lighting struck twice on the ground where you lay, And the sirens sang all day. And the boundaries we built 'round our chests seemed to break, So we threw them away. Up north they're hearing things, Still the telephone only rings When there's nothing to say. You ask what the future brings, But you're only listening When I say What you want me to say What you want me to say: We'll be okay We'll be okay We'll be okay You'll see it one day We'll be okay The moment between what I think and what I say And the difference it makes. And the stories we told to remember our names Have faded away. Up north they're hearing things, Still the telephone only rings when there's nothing to say. You ask what the future brings, But you're only listening When I say What you want me to say What you want me to say: We'll be okay We'll be okay We'll be okay You'll see it one day We'll be okay

Kids 01:46
We expect a flood we get a stream If we want to live we've got to dream We know we drink too much And laugh too loud We're far too young To be so proud But all we ask for is some pity We're just kids in a lonely city Asleep by day Out by night We've turned out How you feared we might We expect a flood we get a stream If we want to live we've got to dream We know we drink too much And laugh too loud We're far too young To be so proud But all we ask for is some pity We're just kids in a lonely city Asleep by day Out by night We've turned out How you feared we might

about

"Okay" was recorded and filmed as a live studio session, using only Grand Piano and Bronwyn's vocals. Mournful and hopeful at the same time, Bronwyn's words sound like a tale passed down through generations, like a call for hope and a signal of doubt.
This release also features a second song: "Kids", one of  Bronwyn and Jon Moon's oldest songs. Written over nine years ago in the form of a poem and a melody, then harmonised on the piano by Jon Moon, it reflects on the experiences made by Bronwyn as a teenager growing up in Cape Town and will now finally be available, newly recorded. 
"Okay" was released digitally on all online platforms by Yutman Records and premiered on Bronwyn's YouTube channel, on December 16th, 2022.
