BEST NEW SONGS: MATY NOYES - IN MY MIND

7/29/16

Maty Noyes is currently best-known, if she’s known at all, for her vocals that close out The Weeknd’s last LP, Beauty Behind the Madness. Based on her newest single, “In My Mind,” she’s about to be a household name.

At the risk of over-exaggerating, “In My Mind” is a perfect slice of pop. Co-written with Norwegian songwriter William Wiik Larsen (whom no one has heard of), the track feels instasntly familiar, like it’s already been on loop in your brain for days. It tells the tale of a relationship in which one party is clearly uncomfortable with the other’s past and brings it up constantly. We’ve all been there. Noyes told The Fader that the song comes from a personal experience in which she was too in love to walk away. Again, we’ve all been there.

So you’ve got highly familiar and relatable context packaged concisely with a series of undeniable hooks. If you don’t like this song, you probably don’t like music.    

 

MATY NOYES “IN MY MIND”

While we wait for this talented songstress to do something else for us to write about, we’ll leave you with the lyrics to Maty Noyes “In My Mind”:

i know i messed it up with every other guy
i swear you're different and this time i'm gonna try
we can start fresh if you'd just let go of the past yeah
i don't i don't i don't get it cause i don't judge you like that
can't just love me in pieces gotta love it all
you try to make me feel like being humans wrong
you got a lot to say about me and my past
well i don't, i don't, i don't get it cause i don't judge you like that

got me runnin' other places in my mind in my mind

i know that i could be with any other man
but none of them can do it quite the way you can
thought we were stronger why you doubting all the time
well i don't, i don't, i don't get it cause i'm so sweet all the time
our love is effortless, stop acting like you're scared
i get down on my knees but you're not playing fair
my heart breaks down when you question if you're mine
when i don't, i don't, i don't get it
cause i'm so sweet all the time

got me running other places in my mind, in my mind
how could you even say i never tried, never tried
and you acting like i been around with every single guy
got me running other places in my mind, in my mind, yeah
da dam dam dam dam dam dam, yeah
da dam dam dam dam dam dam
and you acting like i been around with every single guy
you got me running other places in my mind, in my mind, yeah

got me running to places where no body else has gone
and i tried to take you with me baby then it went all wrong
and i said, "i'm here to stay but i need to get away"
so i'm running other places in my mind, in my mind, yeah

da dam dam dam dam dam dam, yeah
da dam dam dam dam dam dam (ooh yeah)
and you acting like i been around with every single guy
you got me running other places in my mind, in my mind, yeah
da dam dam dam dam dam dam, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
da dam dam dam dam dam dam
and you acting like i been around with every single guy
you got me running other places in my mind, in my mind, yeah
