Wrote melody & chords on my acoustic guitar in my bedroom. Lyrics inspired as a 6 year old singing Avril Lavigne’s Skater Boy on Singstar. I idolised her & dreamed of being in a band together. My celebrity crush. Played it live for 2 years & recorded it. “Silk Dress” continues the narrative of my recent single “Boots” - pursuing your life dreams with gusto, turning up & doing the daily grind. Like Avril who overcame health issues.

Silk Dress - Ollie Twohill - Lyrics
She put a silk dress on today
Applied a fresh new coat of paint
And reassured to herself that she's doing okay
She's got those cherry blossom eyes
A candid smirk to makes things right
I swear to God that she is one of a kind
She plays the bass when I play guitar
I'll write a hook so she can sing along
We'll dance to the beat and party so hard
She will not go home till she hits the charts
She makes the most out of each day
By pushing a pen to the page
And let her thoughts run wild not putting them to waste
She's always seemed so headstrong
Even when life it got so dark
She'd power through it all no she would never stop
She plays the bass when I play guitar
I'll write a hook so she can sing along
We'll dance to the beat and party so hard
She will not go home till she hits the charts
*Guitar Solo* 8 bars
When I'm at my worst, yeah she'll be there to lift the curse and
Take away the hurt, she'll carry me to nirvana
I may not have the words to say exactly how I'm feeling
But honestly to me you'll always be the light into my dark, my harmony
She plays the bass, I play guitar
I'll write a hook, she'll sing along
She plays the bass when I play guitar
I'll write a hook so she can sing along
We'll dance to the beat and party so hard
She will not go home till she hits the charts
She plays the bass when I play guitar
I'll write a hook so she can sing along
We'll dance to the beat and party so hard
She will not go home till she hits the charts
