[3] A Irish duo of ex-Cyclefly members (aka Mako.), singer-songwriter Declan OāShea (vocals) and guitarist-songwriter Christian Montagne (bass), formed in 2006. Their dĆ©but album was Living on Air (2007, Drive).
While OāShea is from East Cork, Co. Cork, they recorded their dĆ©but album in Montagne's home town, Antibes, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. This new project retains Cyclefly's slightly edgy alt-rock sound, with a mellowed maturity. OāShea's voice has been compared to those of David Bowie, The Psychedelic Furs' Richard Butler and Annie Lennox.

[4] Taking its name from the roving short-fin sea predator, MAKO has cast upon Boston shores after conquering the Hudson Valley, performing with the likes of Thurston Moore and Japanther. With a sound that draws from Scott Walker to the Smiths to Led Zeppelin (minus the Wolfmothered overhype) Mako's thick riff-heavy indie rock is augmented by the hauntingly long voice of vocalist Hunter McClamrock, at once equal parts Brett Anderson and Adam Ant, delivering a sound that glides effortlessly through the modern rock ocean. Shallow-water guitar shine and deep lyrical introspection add up to one of the city's more unexpected arrivals. Sharks patrol these waters, indeed.

Ghosts
Mako Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Youth possesed out of fear that they never had to loose.
Are we changing, I need you to say that tomorrow we're save from my yesterday.
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we follow when we're lost and we've had enough?
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark?
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark?
You've confessed all you had to you.
Youth possesed out of fear that they never had to loose.
Are we changing, I need you to say that tomorrow we're save from ymy esterday.
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we follow when we're lost and we've had enough?
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark?
Who are the ghosts watching over us?
Who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark?
In the song "Ghosts" by Mako, the lyrics express uncertainty and fear of the future, pondering who will guide us through life's uncertainties. The first stanza speaks of confessing all that one has to themselves, implying self-reflection and introspection. The next line reflects on the recklessness that can come with youth and the fear of losing what we hold dear. The repetition of "youth possessed out of fear that they never had to lose" suggests a fear of losing things that we cling to in our younger years. The second stanza repeats the line "who are the ghosts watching over us?" posing the question of who we look to for guidance when we are lost and scared. The repetition of this line further emphasizes the central theme of the song, the fear of the unknown future, and the need for guidance.
The singer then follows up with a question of who we follow when we've had enough, implying a sense of exhaustion and needing guidance from someone or something. The final line repeats the central question of the song, "who do we call to know we're not here alone in the dark?", suggesting a need for reassurance and someone to lean on in trying times. The overall tone of the song is one of uncertainty and fear, with a glimmer of hope that there is someone watching over us.
