    Own one of only 200 copies of Oliver Marson's album 'Why Did I Choose This?'.


    Acclaim for the Album:

    4/5 bombs by Louder Than War. The album "carries “an illicit air opulence”. This is precisely the intelligent form of art-pop that we have been crying out for"

    Rolling Stone Australia "when much modern music can be a soporific affair, who doesn’t relish a bit of “sexy, confusing… fun” pop?”


    About the Album:

    Why Did I Choose This? is a collection of quirky and eclectic songs that take unexpected turns while managing to remain accessible and catchy. Marson’s talent for combining over-the-top, extravagant 80s sounds with his timeless crooning vocal creates a cognitive dissonance that will resonate with those who feel out of place in today's world.

lyrics

Tried to call you but you wouldn't answer
Left a thousand messages and not a single word
Not a single word

Down on the boulevard where I tried to kiss you
I turned around and then I never ever saw you again
I never ever saw you again

Talking to strangers
About all my problems.
I can entertain the notion of you and I being together

I fell in love in Tokyo
I fell in love in Tokyo
We pay the price for our dreams, but life goes on in Tokyo

Now your friends are calling as we're leaving
You're saying you're sorry but I know you're not coming back this time

I fell in love in Tokyo
I fell in love in Tokyo
We pay the price for our dreams, but Life goes on in Tokyo
You brought me down to my knees but life goes on in Tokyo
