SONGS
SLEEPLESSLY SURRENDERING<br><br> Close your eyes <br> Listen to the sound of the sea<br>
Tidal waves are dancing<br>
Sleeplessly embracing shores in me <br><br> Close your eyes<br>
Listen to the sound in me<br>
My heartbeat searching a pace  <br>
Your hand at the right place <br>
Floating sand wants to settle and embrace me 
<br><br>
Sleeplessly surrendering 
<br>
Breathing together ends our suffering<br>
When the night falls down and the tide is high
<br><br>
Face to face <br>
Not moving <br>
Face to face <br>
Just breathing<br>
Face to face <br>
Not moving <br>
Until the night stands up and low tide wakes us <br><br>
Sleeplessly surrendering <br>
In the sea of blues and gold<br>
Feeling high and low <br>
<br>
Where our breath takes us <br>
Tidal waves make us <br>
<br>
Riding on  the waves <br>
In the sea of blues and gold
<br><br>
Riding on  the waves <br>
Where our breath takes us <br>
Tidal waves make us <br><br>

Sleeplessly surrendering <br>
Breathing as one ends our suffering<br>

Face to face <br>
Not moving <br>
Face to face <br>
Just breathing<br>
Just breathing<br>
Just breathing<br>
<br>
Close your eyes<br>
Listen to the air we breath<br>
Our heartbeats at the same pace<br>
Feeling settled at the right place <br>
Tidal waves wash over shores we breath



Sleeplessly Surrendering
SILK ROAD FROM SADNESS<br><br>
                    Early morning <br>I'm still in your bed<br>
                    Don't want to open my eyes<br>
                    Don't want to face this new vice<br>
                    Early morning<br><br>
I don't want to go back<br>
To old times where sad<br>
Was part of the plan<br>

A new soothing path <br><br>

I just want to follow this silk road with you<br>



                    
                    Silk Road From Sadness
YOUR SILENCE<br><br>
Your silence<br>
I don't want to fill it in<br>
<br>
Desires<br>
I don't want to imagine what could have been<br>
<br>
Your words are <br>
Still in your mind<br>
<br>
This longing<br>
To hear them is only mine <br>
<br>
Pain from the past<br>
Is still breathing inside me<br>
Pain from the past<br>
Is here to remind me
<br><br>
That not all the minds are thinking alike<br>
And what I want isn't the same as thoughts in your mind <br><br>

Hmmm hmmm
<br><br>

Your silence<br>
I don't need to put words in your mouth<br><br>

Desires<br>
I let them out but they are mine<br><br>

Hmmm hmmm<br>

                    
                    
                    Your Silence
THE HUNT AND THE SPOILS
              <br><br>
              You put your feelings in the box<br>
You don't want to have them <br>
You want them to stop <br>
<br>
You don't want to see them running freely around <br>
You don't want to get them entangled with mine<br>
<br>    
Because the game you play will leave bones behind
<br><br>
You put your feelings in the box<br>
You place that box into another box<br>
<br>
You said you threw away the key but you just handed it to me <br>
<br>
I will unlock the box and<br>
Fall into your trap<br>
Your hoax<br>
<br>
Because the game you play will leave bones behind <br><br>

The hunt<br>
The hunt and the spoils <br>
The hunt and the spoils are your motivation<br>
Your drive <br>
Aaaa<br>
The hunt<br>
The hunt and the spoils<br>
The hunt and the spoils are your motivation<br>
Your drive <br>

<br>
You put your feelings in the box<br>
Your heart is locked<br>
Your eyes are blocked<br>
<br>
You think you threw away the key but you just handed it to me<br><br>

I won't unlock your box<br>
Your soul is a frozen ice block<br>
<br>And the game I play will melt your ice away<br>
<br>
The hunt<br>
The hunt and the spoils <br>
The hunt and the spoils are no destination <br>
It's love <br>
  
                
                
                The Hunt And The Spoils
WHEN THE RAIN IS HERE AGAIN <br><br>
                    Sitting near the window<br>
Looking at the sky<br>
When the rain is falling<br>
<br>
Sitting near the window<br>
Watching every raindrop as it slowly glides over the glass <br>
Reflecting my face where my fears are crawling<br>
<br>
How long will it last?<br>
How long can I go on like this?<br>
<br>
When the rain falls down
<br>
The storm begins
<br>
My tears want to follow 
<br>
The dance it brings
<br><br>
It’s there again<br>
Just like the sky I cry<br>
My tears fall down<br>
<br>
When the rain is here again <br>
When the rain is here again <br>
When the rain is here again <br>




                    
                     When The Rain Is Here Again
DREAM OF BEING AT HOME<br><br>
Dreams are like feelings
<br>
Like a feeling of coming home<br>
<br>                 
Like sunshine after the storm<br>
Like a sunrise after the dawn<br>
Like a sunset when the day is gone<br>

<br>
Dreams are like feelings of coming home
<br><br>
Dreams are like roads<br>
Like a road leading home<br><br>

Like a road paved with stones<br>
Like a river’s endless flow<br>
Like a field of shining gold<br>
<br>
Dreams are like roads leading home<br>
<br>
Every time I look at you<br>
I feel like I’m dreaming<br>
Dreaming of being at home <br>
<br>
You are my sunshine after the storm<br>
You are my sunrise after the dawn<br>
You are my sunset when the day is gone<br>
<br>
You are my dream of being at home <br>
You are my dream of being at home <br>

                    
                    Dream Of Being At Home

Musical inspiration

In addition to performing her own original music, Odeta also takes audiences on a musical journey through her greatest inspirations.

She pays tribute to the classics from the golden age of jazz and blues with her acoustic renditions of Peggy Lee's "Fever," Nina Simone's "Feeling Good," and Ella Fitzgerald's "Cry Me a River" and "Summertime."

When it comes to the hits from the successful pop/rock decades from 60s to 90s, Odeta puts her own unique spin on classics like The Doors' "Crystal Ship," Sting's "Fragile," Sinéad O'Connor’s “The Last Day of Our Acquaintance” and Cranberries' "Linger" and "Zombie."

The hits by contemporary artists like The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Alicia Keys, and Lykke Li are just as inspiring and exciting and are transformed to the pure guitar and voice acoustic versions.

With just the sound of her guitar and a voice that can go from raw and gritty to soft and hauntingly beautiful, Odeta's covers will take you on a journey through the decades, leaving you feeling inspired, uplifted and curious about Odeta’s own music.
