Rochester City Newspaper’s Frank Deblase describes the record as “a carefully constructed wash of singer-songwriter insight and pop-psychedlia. It’s the sound of the beautiful and the weird sharing a slow dance - or a joint.” Recently the Netsky brothers have relocated to Brooklyn and the group has maintained a state-wide recording and performing agenda. They are currently in the midst of recording their follow up album, Things I Remember From Earth, set to be released later this year.

Maybird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Near the highway in LA
I never saw a bird so beautiful
Oh, what am I trying to say?
I'll be flying next time you see me
I'll be alive and well enough
I'll be high next time you see me
I so admire the feathers on your wings
I so desire your peace and grace
When that lonely mountain blackbird sings
It brings the tide back to my face
People cry when they are happy
People laugh when they are sad
Do you realize that your beauty could drive folks stark raving mad?
I'll be flying next time you see me
I'll be alive and well enough
I'll be high next time you see me, yeah
Maybird's self-titled song "Maybird" appears to be about the admiration and envy of a bird's ability to fly gracefully and freely. The singer says they saw the bird in LA, flying above graffiti walls and never seeing a bird so beautiful. They admire the feathers on the bird's wings and desire its peace and grace. The sound of the bird's song brings tears to their eyes and reminds them of the beauty and emotion in the world.
The singer also hints at personal struggles in life, stating that they will be "alive and well enough" and "high" the next time they see the bird. This could suggest that they are working through some personal hurdles and aspire to achieve a sense of freedom and inspiration that the bird embodies. The final verse also touches on the idea that such beauty and grace can cause madness in people, which may allude to the singer's own struggles with mental health and finding inner peace.
Overall, the song seems to be a meditation on finding inspiration and solace in nature, and using that to overcome personal struggles and difficulties.
