There is a story behind this song, a year or so ago I was heading for a new home on the other side of the world and simultaneously dealing with breaking up with my girlfriend.
A Relation-ship, abandoned.
At this time Thundercat sent me this wonderful beat. Listening to it I felt as though I was stood alone on a moonlit deck, looking out over a calm ocean as the ship gently bobbed on the swell…”My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean”…
So, one year on and the song is made, Mary Celeste…Mary, Maria…Mar, the Latin for Sea…a relation-ship left abandoned, the question: Why?
As it turns out there is even more to it than that. When I moved to Mexico another relationship was left – that of DJ Thundercat and myself. We have spent years and years together, making music, live shows, everything (I’m pretty sure we’ve spent at least a solid fortnight playing pro-evo!). Then, suddenly, the future was uncertain, our music, our partnership, everything.
Well, this is the first song we have made together since my arrival here, proving that this relationship is far from over, and what is linking us, bringing us together across the Atlantic Ocean? A ship, The Mary Celeste:
