Oscar Wilson 00:47
Hello, my name is Oscar Wilson I'll be making music for you tonight And I won't be putting up a fight Hello, my name is Oscar Wilson I'll be making music for you tonight And I'll be travelling through time
2.
Wanna go out tonight But Facebook is telling me my timing isn't right I guess I should be calling it a night Wouldn.t know what to do anyway 'cause I can't be with you today (yeah, I feel like it's gonna be a good summer)
3.
Just a Boy 01:41
Didn't feel like taking time anyway I took some confidence with me that day I saw her carrying drinks around with joy Figured she'd see me as just a boy Just a boy that you wouldn't take home I told her she looked good and she said it back Tried counting kisses, but I kept losing track She told me she wasn't usually into men I kept on wondering what does that make me then? Well, texting has always been a drag I'm at home reminiscing

Sea of Time 03:03
(Before he met you, he expected to meet someone that looked like a short, fat German with spit running down his chin. Now since you've heard this before, why do you think people have this preconceived notion of you David? Well, it's pretty obvious. there's a surface of life and this is the tip of the iceberg. And then, there's so much beneath the surface. And that's the interesting bits.) Baby, I need you by my side I'm not saying I'm not right In between, us is a sea of time Still, I'd love to hold you tight Couldn't foresee how the future would be It's all a dream Couldn't foresee how the future would be We're stuck it seems Don't have anything left to talk about All that I have left is in the cloud
5.
No One Else 02:27
My tinder date didn't show So I'm just sitting on my own At least I tidied up my room I'm enjoying it all alone Trying to let go of the time When I was calling you mine Relying on the things that I say to myself And to no one else It's been a long time since we've talked I could use your gentle thoughts I had to make sense of a phone call But it didn't make sense at all (Sometimes I get the urge to ask if you wanna have some coffee or something)
6.
Sauvignon 02:56
What is it that you see when you're not with me? I'm praying you're alone and watching TV If you're with someone else that isn't me I wouldn't wanna know who that person could be You may have left my life but not my mind Even though I erased your presence online You taught me how to drink Sauvignon wine Which is nice when I'm doing all my crying
7.
I could've said ''I love you'' today if you wouldný have left me I need to say that I'm on my way to a different environment My room, your things I changed it all around I seem to think that I'm on the brink to finding an outlet The songs, the girls The world seems upside down
8.
The Truth 02:05
People say there is a lot to gain from the truth But it always gets mixed up again That's how it seems to go I've been trying to find a place Where I don't feel like hiding I'd say I have to take my time to do What I wanted in the first place That's how it seems to go I've been trying to find a face Which makes me keep trying It's true, it's true It can be a hassle To get out of my private castle
9.
Barely 18 02:56
Sitting on the steps beside the Pompidou Happened to catch the glance of somebody new Had to push myself to get talking to you But I'm glad that I did Barely 18 But that's not how you seemed Left me flying in another dream She'd seen all the museums of the city I could not believe you were sitting with me I already knew all your favourite books 'cause my ex read them too When we sat down to finally have that drink I was already deeply in love I think You told me that you wrote poetry But that I couldn't see We'd been sitting for hours when you had to go You said it might get scary on the metro After a shy kiss, we exchanged Instagrams That was kinda the end It was a good dream And that is how it seemed I'll be travelling back to the past

about

Oscar was a friend of mine. I met him in the summer of 2017 and we got along quite well. We were both interested in music and could talk about it for hours. He always seemed to appear and disappear from my life at random. Certain weeks we were inseparable and others I didn't hear from him at all. It always seemed like there was a part of him, which he kept from me, but I didn't want to intrude in his personal life too much.

After a few months, he told me about his special ability. Oscar was, is and will be a time traveller. He had taught himself how to do it at a young age and had been exploring different time zones ever since. He told me he quite enjoyed living in the first decades of the 21st century because the world was still simple, yet complex enough for him to find it enjoyable.

The last time I saw him, it had been some time since we got together. I assumed he was in a different time zone, which turned out to be the case. He seemed a bit sad and distant, but it wasn't the first time I saw him acting like this. He gave me a cassette tape. He said he had been living in the 1980s to record some music. He said it was about his experiences in our time. After having listened to it again and again and not running into Oscar again, I figured it would be time to share Oscar's music with the world. So here it is: ''The Story of Oscar Wilson.''
