YOU HAVE TOLD ME
OF THE TIMES YOU WONDERED WHY
YOU TRIED TO FIND ME
UNDER THE DARKEST SKY
SAID YOU NEEDED ME
HIDING FROM THE EVIL EYE
BUT I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EVERY ATTEMPT SEEMS A CLICHE
YOU HAVE TOLD ME
WHAT YOU WERE GOING THROUGH
YOU PUT YOUR TRUST IN ME
KNOWING WHO TO COME TO
NOW YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME
WELL THERE’S NOTHING I CAN DO
CUZ I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EVERY ATTEMPT SEEMS A CLICHE
AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EVERY ATTEMPT SEEMS A CLICHE
HERE IT STOPS FOR ME
YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL
PLEASE DO NOT LEAN ON ME
MY SUPPORT IS NOT ENOUGH AT ALL
NOW LISTEN TO ME
AND GIVE YOUR DOCTOR A CALL
CUZ I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
EVERY ATTEMPT SEEMS A CLICHE
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
YOU NEED HELP RIGHT AWAY
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
YOU NEED HELP
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
CALL YOUR DOCTOR TODAY
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
YOU NEED HELP
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
YOU NEED HELP
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
YOU NEED HELP

As a pilot, how could I not respind to a song titled "Mayday"???
We all want to help frends and family when we can. Kudos for recognising (within the lyrics) when a situation is beyond a friendly ear. Steering someone towards professional help is the thing to do in a crisis. Hope doing it through song had the desired effect.
@chinacat Feb 2022
Enjoy it as is, would be greater as a rocker with a full band too!
@pfaffbrill Feb 2022
Cool song! Really dig the vocals.
@dancrook Feb 2022
Reminds me of early Oasis. Nice one. Like the rawness of your vocal. Thanks for sharing Max
@dukongp100 Feb 2022
Like the repeating melodic parts, this is a good theme done well. Listenable for more than once.clear guitar as well
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
I like how the first line of the chorus sounds like a pre-chorus following the last line of verses, while the second line resolves it.
I'm not sure I've ever heard a song where the speaker encourages therapy to someone else. And using that as the ending re-colors the entire tune, making me go back and read the lyrics again.
@mikeskliar Feb 2022
Really well done! Love how the chorus just sums it all up, and the story is riveting. great build to the whole thing, with the 'mayday' which is catchy and effective.
@sapient Feb 2022
Quite the rocker to kick off with...
This is one of those that so deeply oncvinces me that there is a full band lurking in the wings ready to kick in and make it all explode.
And I love the pace of the lyrics and the story they bring to life... Dark stuff nicely done.
@dragondreams Feb 2022
This is great. I love the energy and movement of this one. It's a powerful song, delivered brilliantly.
@wistah Feb 2022
I like the chord change in the chorus, has a great power ballad feel and a real driving energy to it. I can feel my toe tapping along to the driving rhythm.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
a story worth telling and well told! catchy number has a bit of an oasis feel. Very enjoyable
@dutch1967 Feb 2022
Such an awful feeling knowing you aren't equipped to get someone out of their slump, but all they do is demand your assistence, time, energy. The first step in getting healed is acknowledging you need healing.
Good to see you again Max!
@jackdawfactories Feb 2022
Your songwriting gets catchier every year! Welcome back to FAWM :)
@yam655 Feb 2022
This is great! It starts off like another relationship song, but then it turns in to a mental health song. I'm a big advocate for mental health, so I really dig it.
@celineellis Feb 2022
loving the pop-punk feel of this. and i love that you have rhymed cliche in there too! great start to FAWM
@kiffa Feb 2022
This is an earworm! I really like your voice and the energy of the song. Great start!
