“Lion” is cinematic, and is appropriate for a range of scenes. The title and many of the features of the song support a conclusion that “Lion” is best suited for a jungle scene, so it would have fit well within the 2016 EP from Saint Mesa, which was entitled “Jungle.”
A low frequency “hummm” carries the intro of “Lion.” By the end of the track, the feature is pushed to the rear, as the soundscape reflects a lion making its forceful and dramatic entrance.
Saint Mesa is the performance name of Danny McCook, a 21-year-old from Mission Viejo, California. Quoting the content from SubmitHub, he was:
“recording and composing completed songs before he turned 17 and was developing a career as a visual artist before being struck down with a mystery illness.
Then one day… he was better. The doctors were at a loss as to what the illness was, but it disappeared. With a fresh perspective on life and appreciation of the world’s natural beauties he started travelling around California whilst fleshing out songs and documenting these travels with his brother: photographer and visual artist Isaac McCook. This collaboration has become the artwork of Saint Mesa, including the Jungle EPs cover – shot in the sand dunes near the Mexican border.
It has resulted in this spiritual and nature-inspired debut EP, with all the songs pointing to specific moments in his life. Fortunately, Danny is now healthy, and, reflecting his newfound positive attitude, he states, "My goal in all this is to create a world people can escape to and find moments in, whether peace in turmoil, hope in dark times, or inspiration during creative blocks.”
