God Said No

Pedro Pascal Tells Omar Apollo A Story About Heartbreak On ‘Pedro’ From His New Album, ‘God Said No’

by

With growth comes heartache, and on his sophomore album, God Said No, Omar Apollo has become all too familiar with this. But he’s not alone. On the album, he finds solace in the company of one Pedro Pascal, with whom he bonds over heartache.

Apollo kicks off the song with a vocal interlude, waxing romantic over a hypnotic plea.

“If meadows was a man, would you trade me for your land? / Mine still have a misty dew / Something I can offer you / If I could get the chance, would you train me with your hands? /Hold me with a magnitude / That takes me to a better view,” sings Apollo on the song’s intro.

The track then makes a transition into a spoken interlude from Pascal, who recounts a painful heartbreak. Audibly, Pascal is hesitant to share the story with Apollo, but finds a strong confidant in his Gen-Z counterpart.

“I remember I finished a job, and I was too scared to go back to the US. It was, like, second-wave COVID in Europe. And, um, I was going from Budapest to Switzerland. That was a place that I could get to to buy some time, and figure out what I would do before Christmas, and I also arrived, um, very shattered,” Pascal tells Apollo.

The story tugs at the heartstrings, but like Apollo in his music, Pescal knows when to put his emotions and vulnerability on display. No matter how difficult such a task may be.

Omar Apollo Comes To Terms With Seeing ‘Less Of You’ On His New Single

by

Omar Apollo is dancing the pain away. Tonight (May 7), the queer heartbreak king has shared “Less Of You,” the latest single from his upcoming sophomore album, God Said No.

On “Less Of You,” Apollo recalls a special encounter while overseas. As days go by, he feels a connection with this person, however, he can slowly feel the other person distancing themselves from him. Apollo handles this hurt in the best way he knows how — by writing a smash.

“I can’t let you go / I see you everywhere / I’m seein’ less of you / I’m still undressing you
Am I depressing you? / Felt like a blessin’, you,” he sings on the song’s chorus.

Over a pulsating euro-influenced beat, Apollo experiments with his sounds, taking his brand of lyrical healing to the next level. According to a press release, the song was partly inspired by his exploration of London’s nightlife.

But while Apollo isn’t afraid to tap into these raw emotions, it certainly won’t be a sad boy summer for him. In July, Apollo is set to embark on the God Said No Tour.
