Rebellious and constantly searching for ways to break away, singing and writing poetry became Lauren Day’s personal loudspeaker and connection to the outside world. As a shy, bullied kid growing up, Brandon Leslie also found catharsis though writing music and performing. A pastor’s daughter and a hardcore kid might sound like opposites on paper, but in the case of Stalgia, Lauren and Brandon are the perfect representation of unlikely childhood friends turned creative foils.
Together, their sound is the perfect marriage of R&B emotion meets hypnosis. Stalgia makes the kind of music you play at full volume in your headphones so it fuses with your body and demands you feel everything, all at once, whether you want to or not.
With cumulative stream counts over 13M, and praise across all media platforms -- featured by Spotify (New Music Friday, Weekly Buzz, Fresh Electronic, Friday Cratediggers, US Viral charts) and Apple Music’s top playlists, YouTube’s most sought after channels (Mr.SuicideSheep, xKito, Chill Valley), and radio support from the likes of KCRW’s “Morning Becomes Eclectic” -- Stalgia continues to push forward globally with taste-makers and music lovers alike leading up to their Fall EP titled ‘NOMAD.’
Their debut album, Nomad, was released November 3, 2017.

Euphoria
The song "Euphoria" by Stalgia is a deeply moving track with lyrics that convey an intense yearning to escape and feel a sense of freedom. The opening lines "Lay me bare in the open, somewhere I can't be found, somewhere close to the ocean, hear the waves crashing" evoke a desire to let go of everything and be engulfed by nature's primal force. The singer wants to be in a place where no one can see them, as if to surrender completely to their surroundings, and the ocean serves as a metaphor for the uncontrollable and infinite forces of life.
The second verse continues this theme, as the singer asks to be pushed "clear from the sandstorm, seven hundred feet off the ground." The intensity of their yearning has increased - they don't just want to be somewhere calm and peaceful, they want to be somewhere completely removed from their current reality. The line "some watering at my back bone" suggests that this desire isn't rooted in pleasure or hedonism, but rather a deep-seated need to wash away the stress and tension of everyday life.
The chorus of the song - "Down down down down down, Euphoria, I love the sound sound sound sound sound, Euphoria" - creates a sense of euphoria through repetition, as if the act of singing these words over and over is enough to transport the singer into the state of mind they are seeking. The final line of the song "let the Earth take me" feels like a surrender to the universe - instead of fighting against the forces of nature, the singer wants to be carried away by them.

Thanks man
@fameedafaroon3383
I so needed to feel some form of Euphoria and this literally calmed me down immediately putting me in that state. Assignments are a killer. What a state of mind to be in.
