He began his route to popularity in an unusual way, by posting 15-second snippets of covers of popular songs on Instagram, where he has netted 2.5 million followers, rather than initially focusing on YouTube or other sites more commonly identified with music. He released his first original song, "Maybe," in December 2014. The video has been viewed over 4.6 million times on YouTube as of this writing.
His next original single was "LoveSick Day," followed in May 2015 by "All I Want" feat. Cameron Dallas, which debuted on iHeartRADIO and charted on iTunes in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Australia and Brazil, reaching #34 on its U.S. chart debut on May 4. The "All I Want" video was viewed more than 22 million times on YouTube, while the song received over 14 million streams on Spotify.
In 2015 he toured extensively, including on the DigiFest Tour with Demi Lovato, Magcon, Sunsation, Aaron Carpenter and others. He was also selected to perform as part of a Macy's back-to-school campaign that year.
The single "We Got Us," with over 5.9 million Spotify plays as of this writing, made him a Nickelodeon #BuzzTracks artist in March 2016. The video for his July 2016 single "Smile" amassed over 5.8 million views within six months on YouTube, and Tiger Beat nominated the song in the "Most Influential Song" category in the magazine's "19 Under 19" feature in September.
His September 2016 follow-up, "Good as it Gets," produced by Charlie Handsome (Kanye West, Ariana Grande, Mac Miller) and released in conjunction with his signing with RCA, netted over three million Spotify plays and three million YouTube views.
His first official single for RCA, "ON," was released in January 2017, and he is going on tour with Bebe Rexha beginning in March 2017.
Last Call
Daniel Skye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I ever said it to you lately is ′cause I lost all the words to say
And I get it if you think I'm shady, but I can′t keep on running away.
The words on my lips, so can we forget, I wish we could let it go
It pulls me apart, to see where we are, but we can't fix this up if you're down.
But when it′s last call at the end of the night, I call you
But when it's our song as it turn off the lights, I hear you
When it′s late, I forget that we wasted forever too soon
When it's last call at the end of the night, I call you.
If we never pick up bottle pieces, it will matter who is right or wrong
If I ever gave you any reasons as if we hold up for too long.
Hey, I know that I made a mess, I know that it′s just an excuse
But when it's last call at the end of the night, I call you
But when it′s our song as it turn off the lights, I hear you
When it's late, I forget that we wasted forever too soon
But when it's last call at the end of the night, I call you.
′Cause I′m here, in the flame and I'm stuck on you
And it′s here, on my face and I'm stuck on you
But when it′s last call at the end of the night, I call you
But when it's last song as it turn off the lights, I hear you
When it′s late, I forget that we wasted forever too soon
But when it's last call at the end of the night, I call you.
I call you.
The song "Last Call" by Daniel Skye showcases a tale of a relationship that is on the brink of ending, despite the desire of one person to keep it going. The opening lines imply that the singer has lost the ability to verbalize their feelings due to a loss of words or fear of rejection. The subsequent lines reveal that both parties hold partial responsibility for the failure of the relationship, and the singer expresses an apology for the pain they have caused. However, when last call comes and the night is winding down, the singer reaches out, desperate for a chance to salvage the relationship.
The chorus of the song is a repetition of this idea of reaching out when the night is over or when the song is ending. It highlights the singer's unwillingness to let go of what once was and the struggle of coming to terms with the reality of the situation. The bridge emphasizes the overwhelming nature of the love the singer feels, unable to escape it or move forward.
The song's emotional depth demonstrates how we can hold onto a relationship, no matter how painful or unreciprocated it may be. The desperate desire to hold someone close and avoid letting go, even when it may not be the best decision, is a feeling that many people can relate to.
