The minute we heard the band's 2011 debut on Burger Records they immediately rocketed to the front of our release "wish list". Recorded by the band themselves at home "Only Children" is everything we could have hoped for. The songs swirl and shimmer as the vocals waver and glide together like the trippiest acid test light show. 'Only Children' is a decidedly heavier trip than the debut album paring down the sheer number of tracks in favor of expanded blasts of musical mayhem. 'War Sux' has the motoric kraut of modern acts like Cave while 'Marty Hills' lays down the drone and hand drum a'la Swedish hippies 'Parson Sound'. That being said, MMOSS hasn't lost their pop sensibility - 'Another Day' and 'Another Dream' take you (literally) from mono to stereo with cascading vocal harmonies so sweet, you won't even notice that the hooks have already sunken in. Their vocal interplay affirms an affection for the group vocal stylings of 60's west coast acts like The Rose Garden, Comfortable Chair & The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, taking their melancholic & bittersweet recollections and bringing them to a plugged-in generation. MMOSS is the sound of hippies that took the brown acid and liked it. Live free or die. The vinyl edition of "Only Children" is pressed on 150gram, randomly mixed vinyl & includes an 18 x 24 poster, & download code.

Okay
Mmoss Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For these three years, we start in steps.
Silently say silent's clear.
What's gone too far, is not here.
It's not okay.
For these three years, your word's not near.
Silently say disappears.
What's gone too far, is not clear.
It's not okay.

For these three years, between the trees.
Silently say, your word's not near.

What's gone too far, loves me dear.
It's not okay.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mmoss's song Okay delve into a state of despair and heartbreak as the singer grapples with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The song's chorus revolves around the repetition of "it's not okay," which serves to underscore the singer's feelings of hopelessness and sorrow. The opening lines, "For these three years, we start in steps, silently say silent's clear," suggest a long history between the couple, a past that is characterized by a certain degree of reticence and hidden emotions. The phrase "silent's clear" could imply that the couple's unspoken feelings were easy to understand, but ultimately not enough to sustain the relationship.

As the song progresses, the singer laments the absence of the other person's voice, indicating that communication had fallen apart. The line "What's gone too far, is not clear," hints at the fact that there were issues in the relationship that were ignored or minimized until it was too late. The final verse, "For these three years, between the trees, silently say, your word's not near. What's gone too far, loves me dear. It's not okay," suggests a sense of longing and nostalgia for what could have been. The phrase "between the trees" evokes images of a forest or natural environment, which could indicate that the relationship once felt idyllic and full of promise. But despite these feelings, the singer is forced to come to terms with the fact that the relationship has ended and that it's not okay.
