Mokita blends the organic tone of natural instrumentation and plaintive vocals with a unique, subtle, electronic production. Giving bittersweet gems that explore the journey of personal experience, Mokita deliver the intimacy and desire sorely needed in music. Having collaborated with acclaimed producer Mike Nielsen (Jamiroquai, Underworld) and had two tracks 'Made of Stone' and 'Two Words' selected as Record of The Day the music industry's unofficial tastemaker, Mokita was No1. on the Indiestore download chart as well as becoming a published Artist/Songwriter. www.mokitamusic.com
Debut album release via itunes- 'answers within earshot' available 03-11-08
2) Mokita were a four-piece band from London. They are probably best described as edging into the post-hardcore genre, taking influences from bands such as Fugazi, Nirvana, At the Drive-In, Mclusky, though there are spatterings of the mid-90s Brit sounds of bands such as Radiohead. Their final line up was:
Theo (now in Pocus Whiteface, with previous Mokita drummer Joe)
Muppet
John (formerly of One Time Friend and The Gloves)
Ruth (formerly of The Gloves now in Sinking Cruise Ship Rescue Drama)
When I See You
Mokita Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Back home for the weekend
And I'm overthinking
I know you sense it, I'm being distant
I've felt this before
But this time can't ignore
I know you're gettin' back home in an airplane
'Bout to leave LA
I know you know what to do or to tell you
It hurts me to hurt you
But that's what I have to do
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Will I still feel this when I see you?
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Will we still be us when I see you?
Will I still feel this when I see you?
Will we still be us when I see you?
My friends don't know yet
Haven't told my parents
With nowhere to start
Damn, I'm falling apart
I know you're nervous
I hate the fact that we're up in the air
Where you're up in the air
And I know when you're both off fair play now
Just got back into town
Baby, I'm freakin' out
How do we even start this conversation?
Crying to stay calmed down
We haven't talked about
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Will I still feel this when I see you?
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
Will we still be us when I see you?
Will I still feel this when I see you? Oh
Oh yeah yeah, oh
Girl, am I losing my mind?
Oh God, I hope I'm not, alright, yeah
Girl, am I losing my mind?
Oh God, I hope I'm not, alright
In "When I See You," Mokita sings about the struggle he is facing after a fight with his partner. He is back home with his parents in Carolina for the weekend and can't stop overthinking about the situation. Although he knows he's being distant, he can't ignore the feeling this time. He knows his partner is about to leave LA and get back home, but there's something he needs to tell her. He is afraid to hurt her, but he also knows it's what he has to do. He's falling apart and doesn't know where to start as he hasn't told his friends or parents yet. The situation makes him nervous, and he hates the fact that they are up in the air. He's freaking out and crying, as he doesn't know how they will start the conversation when they meet. He wonders if he's losing his mind and hopes he's not.
Overall, the lyrics of "When I See You" portray the emotions of a person who is going through a difficult situation with their partner. The song depicts the anxiety and overthinking that comes with handling a challenging situation in a relationship. The lyrics express the confusion and pain the singer feels, even as he tries to figure out what to do.

Lyrics: Mokita - When I See You
At my parents, in Carolina
Back home for the weekend and I’m overthinking
I know you sense it, I’m being distant,
I’ve felt this before but this time can’t ignore
I know you’re getting back on an airplane, about to leave LA
But there’s something I gotta say
I know you know what I don’t wanna tell you, it hurts me to hurt you,
But thats what i have to do
Will I still feel this when I see you
Will we still be us when I see you
Will I still feel this when I see you
Will we still be us when I see you
My friends don’t know yet, Haven’t told my parents,
Wouldn’t know where to start , damn I’m falling apart
I know your nervous,
I hate the fact that we’re up in the air
While your up in the air
Lemme know when your phone’s off airplane mode,
Just got back into town baby i’m freaking out
How do we even start this conversation,
I’m crying just thinking about what we haven’t talked about
Will I still feel this when I see you
Will we still be us when I see you
I don’t what say, I’m praying that I won’t feel the same
Girl am I losing my mind, Oh god I hope I’m not right
I don’t what say, I’m praying that I won’t feel the same
Girl am I losing my mind, Oh god I hope I’m not right
@jbi1839
In solitude, not all are lost,
Sunshine may not paint all hearts,
Charm doesn't guarantee pure bliss,
Those who love you hold you in thoughts' gentle kiss.
The one you cherish might not reciprocate,
The muse in your mind might dance a different fate,
Yet, in the realms of my dreams so true,
It's your name that echoes, only you.
