“Strangers” by Mt. Joy – A Song Feature

     “Strangers” showcases the keyboard skills of Jackie Miclau, perhaps more than any other release from Mt. Joy. The band’s recent performance on Late Night with Seth Meyers is embedded at the bottom of this post. The important role of the piano is easily recognized at the start of the video. The inset picture of Jackie was taken during Mt. Joy’s San Francisco in April 2018 (at Cafe du Nord).

     “Strangers” is a single from Mt. Joy's second album, "Rearrange Us." The album will be released on June 5, but can be preordered at the Bandcamp site - mtjoyband.bandcamp.com...strangers

     The founding members of Mt. Joy have their roots in Philadelphia, but the band was fully formed and is now based in Los Angeles. The members are Matt Quinn (vocals, guitar), Sam Cooper (guitar), Sotiris Eliopoulos (drums), Jackie Miclau (keyboards), and Michael Byrnes (bass).

Lyrics of “Strangers” by Mt. Joy

Well, I guess I'll have to fall in love with strangers

Ride through New York City like I'm famous

And if our lives don't work, then we can change ‘em

Lord knows we've changed, love will rearrange us, like

If you want freedom, that breathes on

Better not run when I'm hanging on, like

If you want freedom, you better free someone

Better not run when I'm blind

Cause I am over you

I am over you

And I am over you

I am over you

I am over you

And I am over you

Flesh wound, little flesh wound

I guess I'll have to fall in love with strangers

Go ride through New York City like I'm famous

And I did not want our love to be erased, but

Lord knows we chased it, love just rearranged us

I'm everything I thought I was, even if I don't have much

My blue side, my fire eyes, my heart keeps me in the fight, like

If you want freedom, you better free someone

You better not run when I'm blind

But I am over you

I am over you

And I am over you

I am over you

I am over you

And I am over you

Flesh wound, little flesh wound

(Solo, over you, I am over you)

Other side now

I will be alright

(I am over you, I am over you)

(Solo)

Other side now

I will be alright

I guess I'll have to fall in love with strangers

Ride through New York City like I'm famous

And I did not want our love to be erased, but

Lord knows we chased it, love just rearranged us
