“Still Up” was never meant to be a song. It was a confession.

The story takes place in New York City, 1977 during the infamous New York blackout. The entire city went dark for nearly 24 hours. Looting, fires, chaos. But somewhere in the Lower East Side, a small recording studio, one of the few running on a backup generator, stayed lit.

That’s where the legend begins.

An unnamed band was recording that night, some say it was an early incarnation of Mesa Babe, before any of them remembered who they were. Others say it was something else wearing their faces. The producer described it as “a session that shouldn’t have existed.” Every clock in the building froze at 9:34 PM. Tape reels moved, but no one hit record. And what came through the monitors wasn’t what they were playing.

It was voices.
Not theirs.

Whispers layered under the drums, like hundreds of people talking from the other side of the blackout.
When the lights finally came back on the next day, the master tape was gone, replaced with a reel labeled in red marker: STILL UP.

When Mesa Babe rediscovered the phrase decades later, they turned it into a track... not to recreate the sound, but to acknowledge it. “Still Up” became a modern echo of that night. It’s about being awake when the world isn’t, trapped between exhaustion and obsession, between creation and madness.

It’s the sound of insomnia turned divine.
The moment when your mind’s too wired to rest, your heart’s too haunted to stop.

Addison described it best during one interview:

> “Still Up isn’t about staying awake. It’s about what wakes up when you don’t sleep.”

Abigail called it the “crossroads between dreams and damnation,” a song that pulls the listener into that thin line between reality and hallucination. Alice, of course, claimed she hears that same 9:34 whisper every time the outro fades, a faint, breathy laugh right before silence.

And here’s the eerie part:
When Mesa Babe performed “Still Up” live for the first time in New Orleans, the power cut out mid-set.
Only the stage lights stayed on.
The crowd said they could still hear the chorus, no instruments, no vocals, just a phantom loop of:
“Still up… still up… still up…”
