about
‘Mum Says I’m Okay’ fires up with an all-out alt-rock guitar riff, quickly joined by resounding drums as songwriter Daniel Davis’ vocals give off that 90's alt-rock tinge. Seeped in a passionate optimism for wanting the best out of life, the distinctively Big Orange chorus arrives in all of its hook-filled glory, bringing a rousing rock flavour to wonderfully relatable lyrics.
The message behind ‘Mum Says I’m Okay’ is simple yet powerful - block out the haters and do what’s right for you. Basically, keep going, you’re doing great.
“I think everyone with a passion can relate to these lyrics," bandmate Emma Adams adds.
"Daniel showed me this track a few months ago and I dug the shit outta it. It's a slow burn with a superbly hooky chorus when it hits.”
lyrics
We’re all in the same boat, sinking
It’s too late for quick thinking
Someday the sun will be shining
My futures so bright it’s blinding
Some may say I’m not great
But my mum says I’m ok
Oh quit your fussing
Wait, your time is coming
Oh I’m tired of listening
To all of their opinions
Somewhere out in the distance
Is a brand new existence
Destiny and fate
Is it never too late?
Can I still have the world
And all the diamonds and pearls?
I’m trying to be what I wanna be
I wanna be myself
Wishful positive thinking
In life you’re either sinking or swimming
Pray to powers that are higher
Protect me from my desires
Everything you ever dreamed of
Begins and ends in your own love
Destiny and fate
Is it ever too late?
Can I still have the world
And all the diamonds and pearls?
I’m trying to be what I wanna be
I wanna be myself
Destiny and fate
Is it never too late?
Can I still have the world
And all the diamonds and pearls?
I’m trying to be what I wanna be
I wanna be myself
I wish time would be my friend
