Introducing Google Nest Sessions, a mood-lifting music experience inspired by psychology.
hi everyone :) in my Nest session I’ll be rambling about books and words and how they help my process and stay calm. books have helped me make sense of my identity and the world around me since i was a kid. i think lots of people are finding peace and escape in books right now, I’ve been going through some of my old favourites for some creative inspiration.

You can tell just by that nervous smile that he's a nice person. Keep doing what you're doing you amazing son-of-a-gun.

[@MissBrightsideBitch]

There’s always something so appealing when people talk about their favourite books, like it’s the most intimate way you’re able to know more about a person. I love how you’re smiling all the time and the tone of your voice is very soothing, I just completely adored this Olly, thank you!

[@duru1062]

you are seriously the cutest! i was smiling through the entire video lol i wish it was longer and thank you for the recommendations olly!!

[@waynefabian2428]

[@peterterrence1448]

[@waynefabian2428]

@Peter Terrence thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

I love u Olly: and please keep smiling like that forever .

[@Heatsauce70506]

I really need someone like you in my life. My life has been so lonely it would be amazing to be around someone that is deeper then a shallow muddle puddle of self indulgence. I lived through the 80' AIDs epidemic and to this day I still feel afraid to get close to someone because the lost would be soul crushing. Thank you for being you.

[@mariajesusrodriguez4330]

Hi every body. About queer’s books, religion and "Years and Years". I flew from Madrid to Manchester with my husband to see a the Y&Y concert that they performed november 2018 and on that weekend we met a guy that wrote a book called “queer and catholic”. I recommend to read that book because it is interesting, well wrote and fun. As I’m Spanish and a non religious person I don’t catch the whole meaning of some “Years and Years” songs but still I can see all those references about religion and sexuality in some of them that are disturbing and attractive at the same time. Olly, please, keep on reading, keep on writinng and don’t be affraid of your songs to have such a long and poetic lyrics.

[@KindFiction]

Omg you are so adorable Olly ily so much🥺❤️☺️

[@witgob]

Great and eclectic choices, Olly. Stay safe.

[@emilyp9172]

[@qplanet]

I don't expect you will ever read this or reply, but I wanted to say I feel a kindred spirit with you. Not only do you look like me at the same age, but we are both gay, musicians and love reading. You are like my younger brother. :)

[@qplanet]

You highlighted me? I dont deserve that but thank you. I also forgot to mention, so this is kind of a P.S , but theres one of your songs that i cant physically listen to because i literally makes my heart break and i am in a flood of tears. Just sayin.... 🙂

[@usoppboiboi4608]

Hi Olly. You’re great! When will a new Years & Years album be released?

[@oldbookwormcb]

I loved your enthusiasm! It comes from an honest love of reading. I've been a reader for years. For me, it's an escape, a way to decompress. To get out of my own head, so to speak. I just became aware of you late last year, and I love your music. Currently my favorite song is Hallelujah. (I say currently because I've loved them a at one point. And your lyrics speak to me) I would love for you to read "Try" by Ella Frank, she is an author that I love. She writes queer fiction. I would love to discuss the book with you, as no one I know reads queer fiction. (I shouldn't feel ashamed, but I don't feel as though I can admit it to anyone I know) Anywho, I would love it if you would consider reading her. I'll go ahead and warn you that "Try" is book 1 of a series, and they are addictive. She's an amazing author! Hope to write to you soon on the next book club! Stay safe, I for one don't want to live in a world that has one less amazing person!
