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.
Homesick Remedy
Mykey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the diners open all hours of the day
I even miss the bad news and the controversy
That made all of the good times worth the wait
Some words I would speak
Others I would keep
I′m lucky to have met all the people I did meet
And it′s not even Halloween
I need a homesick remedy
I miss drive-in movies by the shoreline
Where the old abandoned boardwalk lays to rest
I must have rode that rollercoaster
Hundreds of times
Before businesses came and left their mess
Some words I would speak
Others I would keep
I'm lucky to have met all the people I did meet
But I'm scared down to my bones
And it′s not even Halloween
I need a homesick remedy
I need a homesick remedy
I need a homesick remedy
The lyrics of Mykey's song "Homesick Remedy" depict a longing for a simpler time and a sense of home. The songwriter misses the small town charm of driving through the countryside at 4am and the diners open 24/7. Even the bad news and controversy that made life difficult are missed because they made the good times feel worth the wait. The nostalgia deepens as the song progresses, with the memory of drive-in movies by the shoreline and the abandoned boardwalk that he rode hundreds of times before businesses destroyed the natural beauty of the area.
Throughout the song, the songwriter notes that there are some things he would keep to himself and others that he would say aloud. He's grateful for the connections he's made with people but still scared down to his bones. The repeated line, "I need a homesick remedy", emphasizes that the songwriter is looking for a cure for his homesickness, a way to bring him back to a time when things were simpler.
Overall, "Homesick Remedy" is a poignant reflection on the passage of time, the change that comes with it, and the importance of finding a sense of home in the world.

I miss 4 AM drives through the country
I long for the peaceful and relaxing experiences of driving through the countryside at 4 AM
And the diners open all hours of the day
I miss the availability of diners at any time of day, providing a sense of comfort and familiarity
I even miss the bad news and the controversy
The difficult and negative aspects of life that were mixed in with the good are also missed, as they gave meaning and depth to the positive experiences
That made all of the good times worth the wait
The struggles and challenges that were faced during the 'wait' for good times added value to those special moments
Some words I would speak
Certain things I would express vocally
Others I would keep
Other thoughts and feelings I would internally process and not outwardly express
I’m lucky to have met all the people I did meet

I must have rode that rollercoaster
I undoubtedly rode that specific rollercoaster many times, further contributing to the sense of nostalgia
Hundreds of times
The specific number of times is not important, but the frequency and familiarity of the experience are significant
Before businesses came and left their mess
Due to the impact of commercialism and capitalistic ventures, the area has changed and lost some of its charm and authenticity
