“Sometimes, I don’t feel anything.”
Nostalgic indie rock with a soulful thread of concept and an equally evocative, expressive guitar solo. Maypo Deluxe bring back the vulnerability and realism of genuine rock songwriting, for the old-school sway and substance of Find My Way.
Achieving a perfect blending of melancholy and hope, Find My Way reflects on the stark confrontation that is numbness or isolation in the modern world. Musically there’s an anthemic vibe at first, but the melody sinks down with the lyrical contemplations revealed by it.
Later on, the song works its way towards the uplift and resolve of its title, seeking the romantic and loving escapism we all know so well, and letting this idea of optimism ring out amidst a celebratory rock backdrop.
A deeply personal song but accessible in its vagueness and the short, sharp lines that deliver it, Find My Way is a catchy groove, transformed into something deeply moving, even heartbreaking, by the depth and honesty of the writing. Even the Maypo Deluxe voice, this early 2000s indie rasp and authenticity, helps reinforce that human connection at the heart of the writing.
To finish things off with a hugely hopeful chorus, something like Oasis on a mellow, reflective day, is to offer up yet another timeless and enjoyable rock single, from the growing repertoire of gems that is Maypo Deluxe.
“Sometimes, I don’t hear anything, a silence so deafening, you question what’s true.”
