"The Morning" by Oliver Hazard – A Song Feature

 

     The first verse of “The Morning” transforms a casual encounter into an active listening experience, attempting to identify the nuances and well-crafted subtleties that elevate the enchantment level of the song above those of other emotionally appealing songs. One easily recognizable feature is the melodic charm and beauty of the acoustic guitar that opens the single from Oliver Hazard. The guitar melody shines during each space within the intervaled and harmonized vocal delivery.
 
     Additional instrumentation begins to enter 53 seconds into “The Morning,” but the vocals are already at their maximum appeal from the start. Still, the energy shift at 2:38 adds to the life of the song and enhances the emotion behind the lyrical message. The band explains:
   "The Morning" explores the intricacies of time. The song contemplates the uncertain paths of our relationships. Each day we confront the unknown, where no one can guarantee that tomorrow remains as it was today. “The Morning” is a song about timing. Timing is one of the most important things in life, and it can be a tough thing to navigate. Missed connections, missed opportunities. “The Morning” is a song about our relationships in life and wondering where exactly they will be the following morning. The song whispers that tomorrow could bring change, urging us not to assume that it will mirror today.
 
     The members of Oliver Hazard are Michael Belazis (vocals, guitar) and Devin East (vocals, guitar), and Nate Miner (keys, vocals). They are based in Waterville, Ohio. The band name is a shortening of “Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry,” a local hero during the War of 1812. “The Morning” is a single from their upcoming 6-song EP, “Raindrop River,” which promises to be a collection of warmly harmonic tracks.

Lyrics of "The Morning" by Oliver Hazard
Ticking time but not for granted
Feeling weather on the way
You were pulling on your raincoat
You said you would like to stay
 
Would you love me in the morning
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe we could love this time
Would you wake me on the surface
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you'll love me all the same
Same
 
Pushing cars along the alley
Fearing all we have is time (time, time)
I'm not older I'm just wiser
Hope I see you down the line
 
Would you love me in the morning
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'll wake up this time
Would you wake me on the surface
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you'll love me all the same
Same

Would you love me in the morning
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe we could love this time
Would you wake me on the surface
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you'll love me all the same
Same
 
Would you love me in the morning
Maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'll wake up this time
Would you wake me on the surface
And maybe I'm wrong
Maybe you'll love me all the same
Same
Same
Same
