about

First single off the album, released March 19th 2021.

When you're "lost at sea" and can't find your way back, it's okay to shout "MAYDAY". This song is a metaphor for asking for help, something that society generally looks down upon. You'll find this dancy track not only uplifting and fun, but unique in world percussion and saxophone samples.

lyrics

I am lost at sea,
My map is gone.
I thought I knew the way,
But land is far from me.

I feel a storm a comin'
Pointed right at me.
Set the sails to turn away,
But the wind pushed me back.

Into the storm I went,
No control of my ship.
I don’t know what to do
In this deep of blue without you.

Mayday, someone help me,
I have lost my way.
Mayday, please find me,
I don’t care what they say.
And I got this feelin' (4x)
