He grew up playing guitar and singing for anyone who would listen. His impressive skills are proof of long hours spent producing music at a bluegrass recording studio coupled with his passion for making music that make people feel like drinking whiskey around a campfire.
MyKey is underway with writing, recording, producing, mixing, and mastering his second full length album in his LA residence. Inspired by Tyler, The Creator’s honest and daring style, this album will be a mix of MyKey’s folk sound with more modern production and pop elements. In addition he’ll be debuting new stop-motion animation videos for each track.
Emily
Mykey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of a monster hiding under the stairs
I hear it knocking and I'm going down there
I'm not afraid anymore
Well every creature's real nice
If you ask about the things she likes
Spooking strangers and smoking on pipes
To Emily:
You'll always be a friend to me
You're more than just a ghost story
Emily
Well I spent all day without her but when it came to the witching hour
We'd go frolic in the flowers till my feet sure need a shower
Leave a few by the mausoleum
Hope your friends come out to see 'em
On a night like no other
Just another story for under the covers
Oh Emily
You'll always be a friend to me
You're more than just a ghost story
Emily
I'm not scared
Kinda like the monster under the stairs
I hear it knocking and I know she's down there
I'm not lonely no more
The lyrics to Mykey's song "Emily" describe a narrator who is no longer afraid of the unknown, represented by the monster under the stairs, because they have befriended Emily. Emily appears to be a symbol of the supernatural or paranormal, as the singer mentions spending time with her during the "witching hour" and leaving flowers by the mausoleum for her to show her friends. The song suggests that by embracing the mysterious and unknown, we can find comfort and connection instead of fear.
The lyrics also touch on themes of loneliness and the power of friendship. The singer sings about not feeling afraid or lonely anymore because of their relationship with Emily. The song portrays Emily not as a scary ghost story, but as a companion and confidante. The lyrics suggest that even in the face of the unknown, human connection and companionship can overcome fear and uncertainty.

I've been having a really hard time recently, and songs with this sort of calm vibe are so comforting to me. I love the line "you're more than just a ghost story", I am not invisible; there are people who care about me who will help me. Plus, it helps that my name is Emily, lol. Such a beautiful song.
