Lyrics
----------
Where is the music?
Where is the sea?
Between the mountains and the mangroves
We could let the world be
I hope I see you
I hope you came
I’ll carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain,
Carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain

Take me down to the silence in the sound 
Take me down
Take me down to the silence in the sound 
Take me down
Take me down

What did you hide here?
What did you fear?
Did you get lost behind the prophets
Screaming secrets in your ears?
I hope I see you
I hope you care
I’ll carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the air,
Carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the air

Take me down to the silence in the sound 
Take me down
Take me down to the silence in the sound 
Take me down
Take me down
Take me down

Where is the music?
Where is the sea?
Between the mountains and the mangroves
We could let the world be
I hope I see you
I hope you came
I’ll carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain,
I’ll carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain
I’ll carry on to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain

Take me down to the silence in the sound
Take me down to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain
Take me down to the silence in the sound
Take me down to Acapulco
Where my heart beats in the rain

Ocean Daze

Acapulco

Raised in Antigua & Barbuda on mangoes, calypso, and the ocean, Joshu crafts quietly beautiful indie folk songs meant for gentle afternoons or silent moments alone.  With British roots, his Caribbean childhood was steeped in the eclectic musical tastes of his parents and the island.  From John Martyn to Jack Johnson to King Short Shirt, these influences have inspired a beautiful combination of folk and groove with deep lyrical content.

His first EP Lines of Time, co-produced with Justin “JusBus” Nation (John Legend, Jah Cure, Kes) garnered over 2 million streams, with the single Where Did the Time Go winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2019.  Following this success, they collaborated again on the follow-up Ocean Daze EP, which interwove gaelic-inspired melodies and West Indian rhythms for a soft, nostalgic island sound.

Emerging from the pandemic, just as his covid project was getting dangerously close to becoming a full time job (he started a mushroom farm), Joshu returned with a Mahogany Session, featuring the title track of his new EP, way back home.  Inspired by a journey sailing across the Atlantic, the record serves as an introspective exploration of place, pondering how one comes to belong in a land, and the quiet discomfort of never feeling truly at home.
