Sylvan Esso - Hey Mami (Audio)

[@devinbelin7574]

My old Asian mother plays this on repeat super load with base and she's like 50 this is indie music so it's funny to see someone from a different time and 3rd world country get down with new indie music

[@christinabrault]

50 isn't old

[@devinbelin7574]

Christina Brault well considering people are living to 120 now I guess not but I meant old as in she was born before this music was a thing so I wouldn't think she would like it

[@christinabrault]

I was born before this music was a thing too lol. I am 31.

I heard this song over a year ago at a dance performance and I've been searching for it for a year and then here I just stumble upon it, I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but I was at so much peace and in such a happy suspended place when I heard this song but have searched every corner of the internet for it and here it is, I'm literally ready to cry I found it

[@krazeelety]

No it is a big deal.....I TOTALLY get you. 😁 I'm weird like that too. I heard it when they were at Coachella a few years ago. My stupid phone would not pick up the name of it ( you know when you ask Google, "hey Google what's this song?") Then they went off stage and that was it. I just searched for hey Mommy and it took me awhile but I found it!

[@HinamizawaMYTH]

How?

[@Nyamai]

Not only is the song amazing, but the subject matter of the song is amazing too. The meaning is powerful.

[@TheShinsh]

What is it? I am an idiot.

[@Nyamai]

+The Diamond Shard It's about catcalling. This is a quote from the singer of Sylvan Esso " I don’t really like writing songs from the first-person perspective. I like talking about situations that are neither good nor bad. Like “Hey Mami” is definitely talking about cat-calling, but it’s also talking about cat-calling in this way that’s not, “You fuck!” Sometimes getting cat-called is lovely if it’s done right. Sometimes it makes me feel really shitty and threatened. So writing about that, writing songs that are questions and not statements, is much more interesting to me."

[@TheShinsh]

Nyamai I. Thought so, but the way you said the original comment, made me think otherwise somehow.

[@rickycruz1032]

i listen to this when i want to remember good memories not sure how it works but it works

[@everardocastro2151]

For anyone who dosnt understand the lyrics to the song it's bassically about catcalling but also about a female who is lost and selling her body never really knowing her beauty and gravity/attraction that she has, anyone would want to have her since shes beautiful but she's lost

[@maureenblake5781]

No opposite! About men who WISH the woman were to sell herself to them! Thus the cat call is bs and the line that "sooner or later the men will hold their lips and own the shit" is clear that they are men shit talking and sooner or later need to face the reality their fantasy is their deranged imaginings NOTHING to do with the actual reality of the beautiful women they demean with their misogyny of pretending to know a damn thing about her when they don't. Its calling out men for presumption that a woman's beauty somehow gives them any right at all to cross the boundary of cat calling disrespectfully. Calling out the misogynist sense of entitlement they have of trying to define her when their perceptions have nothing to do with her reality and are SO disconnected she is not even aware of their preconceived notions and the allure she had over them. They wish they had her power because somehow they are under her spell in reality.
