about

"Hola Luna" is inspired by night time parties and acoustic jam sessions with international friends on the beaches of Puerto Lopez, Ecuador. The Latin-flavoured single is the first from Odder than the Otters debut release, "The Port of Lopez EP"

lyrics

The dance...it sings. Enchantments from salsa ring.
Guns or knives...explore and develop lives.
Violins and cellos mock. Birds discuss and talk.
Hola, Luna. I hope you don’t drown in the clouds...

The Niño sends rain. Streets behave so strange.
Stuck inside, stain the walls. Adorn the armies and their stalls.
Hola, Luna. Come out, or don’t come out at all…

Black book talks, what I’ve written is all I got.
Guns or knives... exploring and developing lives.
And that salsa ring, cellos mock as birds try to sing.
Hola, luna. I hope you don’t mind the things we bring…

Hola Luna! (Hola Luna!)
I hope you don’t mind the things we bring.
Hola Luna! (Hola Luna!)
I hope you don’t mind the things we bring.
Hola, luna...a graceful ball of queso hung on strings.
On a full luna night you sting.
Ignite the loco parts of souls and curse the words we sing.

Valentina...a rig me up a like ‘o dynamite.
Josephina...watches over the harsh tides.
Warm breeze bounces off the rocks.
Hold on please, think I hear a knock.
Hola, luna. I hope you don’t mind the mess we’ve made…

Black book talks, what I’ve written is all I got.
Guns or knives... exploring and developing lives.
And that salsa ring. Cellos mock as birds try to sing.
Hola, luna. I hope you don’t mindthe things we bring…

Hola Luna! (Hola Luna!)
I hope you don’t mind the things we bring.
Hola Luna! (Hola Luna!)
I hope you don’t mind the things we bring.
Hola, luna... a graceful ball of queso hung on strings.
On a full luna night you sting.
Ignite the loco parts of souls and curse the words we sing.
