about
Born of the passions and frustrations arising in a long distance relationship, ‘All OK' is a daydream about the much-needed steamy reunion of two lovers living on opposite sides of the world.
Although it was written several years ago, Callan’s not-so-innocent little slow-jam has perhaps never been more relevant than it is right now. Amidst the chaos of 2020 — fraught with lockdowns, social distancing and loads of other seemingly draconian restrictions that have forced millions of us apart from those we love (or lust) — ‘All OK’ offers soothing solace; like a comforting hug or momentary make-believe escape we all need.
lyrics
Well, I can see the time is gettin' away from me and you
But nothin’s on my mind 'cept all of the things that we can do
So lay yourself back down beside me
I’ll turn the blinds around ‘cause we don’t need their eyes to see
(whistling)
I like the way walk, you move with grace of a bird on the bay
And I could listen to you talk non-stop, 'round the clock, all night, all day
So let me whisper to you softly
You’re way too beautiful to hide so can your clothes come off please?
Lady take ‘em off, take ‘em off, take ‘em off, take ‘em off. Oh, take ‘em off
La di da di da, da di da, da di da, da di da di da da
Well it's true, you live far away
And I do, yeah, I miss you every day
Oh boo, I know it’s hard sometimes
So here the words I say-ay-ay
You make it all OK
I said you make it all OK
I said you make it all OK
Yeah you do, yeah you do
Yeah you do, yeah you do
Yeah you do, you make it all OK
(whistling)
