About This Track

The second single from Disclosure's second studio album 'Caracal', released as a digital download on 27 July 2015, reunites the electronic duo with Sam Smith three years after their breakout collaboration 'Latch'. The track builds around a taut house framework, Smith's vocal tracing the emotional aftermath of a relationship fracture with a clarity that cuts through the production's precision. Sam Smith sings of a shift in perception, the lyric 'I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark' anchoring a chorus that recasts tears as revelation rather than defeat. The verses move between absence and recognition, the repeated refrain of 'omen' functioning less as prophecy than as hindsight made audible. The production stays measured, allowing the vocal to carry the weight of the realisation without overwhelming it.

"Omen" is a single by Disclosure, released 2015. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 16 articles about Disclosure.

Lyrics

Omen

[Produced by Disclosure]

[Verse 1: Sam Smith]

I'm feeling something, something different

When you left, my picture changed

I was blinded, I'd not envisioned

The same face in a different frame

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]

It's an omen, caught my baby crying

Saw the silver lining

It must be an omen

Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely

[Chorus: Sam Smith]

My mind would rule my heart

I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark

It left me torn apart

But now I see your tears as an omen

[Post-Chorus: Sam Smith]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen

[Verse 2: Sam Smith]

You were waiting, I was vacant

You left before my eyes

Then it hit me, you're relocating

And I need you by my side

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Smith]

It's an omen, caught my baby crying

Saw the silver lining

It must be an omen

Needed you to show me, without you I am lonely

[Chorus: Sam Smith]

My mind would rule my heart

I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark

It left me torn apart

But now I see your tears as an omen

My mind would rule my heart

I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark

It left me torn apart

But now I see your tears as an omen

[Outro: Sam Smith]

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen (Woah, now, love)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen

(I didn't pay attention to the light in the dark)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen (But now I see your tears as an omen)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen (Now I see your tears as an omen)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, omen

    Disclosure are elated and electric headlining Reading

    Opening with ‘White Noise’ the split second AlunaGeorge finish performing it in the dance tent, Disclosure bring the festival experience full circle. “This is the first festival me and Howard ever went to,” Guy Lawrence declares. “That’s why I think this crowd is going to be the best crowd we ever played to, am I right?” Getting their audience involved is something Disclosure excel at. Transitioning so effortlessly from one song to the next that you'd almost believe they were created this way (let's face it - Disclosure were always meant for mass dance-alongs), the duo take the main stage for their very own. They might be champions of the moment, but the maintain their victory with no shortage of humility. “What a pleasure it is to share the stage with one of our favourite bands in the UK: Foals!” Harkening back to their own days as festival punters in the fields (“we have stood where you are stood”), the set offers nothing short of elation. The duo’s electric energy ignites the darkening field with an all natural ease. Drawing from songs from all throughout their history, it seems like this moment was always meant to be. From the darkened refrains of ‘Driving On’, through the soulful introduction of Brendan Reilly for ‘Moving Mountains’, to the elated rendition of ‘Latch’, Disclosure usher in the night with an unparalleled excitement – and the weekend is only just beginning.
