Now, we get to hear his own voice and his own vision on his self-titled debut EP, which is out September 1. New song "Angel" is his best work yet, a track isn't chasing current trends or styles, instead being rooted in classic pop and rock. "Angel" is a love song, but Joseph understands that falling in love is by no means easy or simple.
"'Angel' is about finding someone that suddenly means more to you than anything else," he explains. "A choice then arises. Do you pull away and protect yourself or do you surrender and risk the possible lows and unimaginable highs." Listen to "Angel" below and check out Joseph of Mercury's previously released songs, also on his upcoming EP, via his SoundCloud here.
Stop
Joseph of Mercury Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll stay as long as I can
Whether you place the blame
On you or on me
Know that I'm yours
Know that I'm yours
Know that I'm yours
So if you wanna go
Know that I won't stop
Stop
Baby stop
Stop you
So of you wanna go
Go on your own
Know that I won't stop
Stop
Baby stop
Stop
Live all you wanna live
I'll follow you when I can
You mostly in the air
Oh, I'll catch you when you come back down to land
Know that I'm yours
Know that I'm yours
Know that I'm trying
To find you
So if you gonna go
Go on your own
So if you wanna go
Go on your own
Know that I'll stop
Stop
Baby stop
Stop
You should be free
You should be there for the one you wanna be with
With
But I won't lie
Oh, I wanna know that some other time
Just for me to know that you're mine
Know that you're mine
Know that I'm yours
Know that I'm yours
So if you gonna go
Oh, go you own
If you wanna go
Go on your own
Know that I won't stop
Stop
Baby stop
You
In Joseph of Mercury's song "Stop", the lyrics express a sense of love and devotion towards someone despite their desire to leave or be free. The singer is willing to stay as long as they can, knowing that they belong to the person they love. Even if they want to go on their own, the singer won't stop them, but at the same time, they express their desire to know that the person is theirs. They also acknowledge that the person should be free to be with whoever they want to be with, but they cannot deny their desire to possess them. The lyrics convey mixed emotions of love, possessiveness, and acceptance.
The chorus "stop, baby stop" can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it seems like the singer is asking the person not to leave, but on the other hand, it could mean that the person should stop trying to be possessed and should just be themselves. The singer is aware of their attempt to control the situation and is making an effort to let go of it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Stop" convey a depth of emotion and a nuanced understanding of love and possessiveness. The song might resonate with anyone who has experienced the complexity of relationships and the struggle to balance the desire for love and the need for freedom.

I swear, I cannot get over the fact that he is not in the mainstream! Well, actually, there is a war inside me: one part of me wants to keep him only for myself and those bunch of people who knows his music, the other one SCREAMS 'Why he is not more popular!!!???'
