Hey Now (feat. VisionV & MKLA)

Surf Mesa's 'Hey Now (feat. VisionV & MKLA)' is a hauntingly beautiful track that delves into the complexities of longing and emotional turbulence. The repeated phrase 'Hey now' serves as a poignant call, almost like a plea, emphasizing the urgency and intensity of the emotions being experienced. The imagery of 'letters burning by my bed' suggests a sense of loss or unfulfilled communication, perhaps symbolizing the remnants of a past relationship or unspoken words that haunt the narrator.

The lyrics 'I can feel my instincts here for you' and 'leave it to the wayside like you do' highlight a struggle between holding on and letting go. The narrator is torn between their natural instincts to reach out and the painful reality of being left behind. This internal conflict is further amplified by the lines 'Oh, you know it is frightening' and 'Oh, you know it’s like lightning,' which evoke a sense of fear and sudden, intense emotion, much like a storm that disrupts the calm.

The song's repetitive structure and evocative language create a hypnotic effect, drawing listeners into the emotional whirlwind. The collaboration with VisionV and MKLA adds layers of vocal depth, enhancing the song's ethereal quality. 'Hey Now' captures the essence of emotional vulnerability and the tumultuous nature of love and loss, making it a resonant piece for anyone who has experienced the highs and lows of deep emotional connections.
