about

On his latest offering ‘May The First’, the producer once again time travels between sonics of old and new. Grooving delicately against a tapestry of harps and flutes in a hazy blend of jazz, trip-hop and chilled out electronica.

Perhaps most captivating is the pitched-down voice of Lisa Hannigan providing a gorgeous yet abstract refrain. Royal Yellow originally sampled the line from Hannigan’s ‘Pistachio’, to help break through a wall in the songwriting. He says, “Once I heard it I knew that it couldn’t be anything else. I was totally captivated. I reached out to Lisa immediately and she graciously cleared it.”

lyrics

Sit down, sit down, tricky when you're feeling low
Sit down, tricky when you're feeling low
Sit down.

I know you're weighed down
And fed up with your heavy
Boots laced with melancholy
Notions all your own

Sit down, tricky when you're feeling low
Sit down, tricky when you're feeling low
I know you're weighed down
Tricky when, tricky when...

I know you're weighed down
And fed up with your heavy
Boots laced with melancholy
Notions all your own

I know you're weighed down
I know you're weighed
But there's acceptance beyond

I know you're weighed down
And fed up with your heavy
Tricky when you're feeling low
Laced with melancholy
