about

May Day'; a song that finds GWR celebrating their indie rock influences, from the Pixies-like rolling bass guitar intro through to the rousing, power pop chorus hook. 'May Day' is a song about making plans on your terms – a circle on the calendar and a reverse-engineered exit strategy.

Singer Will reflects – “I was having a tough time, and felt a little trapped, I was an easy target – but I soon realised after chatting to a couple of wise heads, that I had the power to change that – so I did. I picked a date, got my head down and worked towards that change date”.

Musically, the single has a solid dose of rock 'n' roll swagger with a shared influence within the band also giving it a ‘Smithereens-esque’ sound, as Will explains. “Dave (Newman, guitar player) and I had a few beers one night and uncovered a mutual love for The Smithereens – and since then I have been lucky enough to land a few of their albums on vinyl and I think you can certainly hear the influence in this song particularly.”

lyrics

Come May Day
I’m gonna give it away
They’ll be hell to pay
But I ain’t gonna stay

I’m not crazy
They’re gonna hate me more
There’ll be nothing to say
till I make my way

I’m gonna check myself out
I’m gonna claim my soul now

I’m gonna write me a letter
With only one line
They’ll be no thanks yous
And with an X I’ll sign
I’m gonna cut loose
Gonna live my life
Gonna write me letter
With just one line

So May Day
Come safe me
I’ll be counting the days
Till the month of May

SOLO

I’m gonna check myself out
I’m gonna claim my soul now

I’m gonna write me a letter
With only one line
They’ll be no thanks yous
And with an X I’ll sign
I’m gonna cut loose
Gonna live my life
Gonna write me letter
With just one line

Come May Day
I’m gonna give it away
They’ll be hell to pay
When I make my way….
