Maisie Peters and Marcus Mumford have released the haunting song Say My Name In Your Sleep.
Maisie Peters has released the first of two collaborations with Marcus Mumford from her upcoming album, Say My Name In Your Sleep.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter has unveiled the title track from her upcoming third studio album, inspired by Daphne du Maurier’s 1938 Gothic novel Rebecca.
Maise revealed there was a “magical and spooky” atmosphere surrounding her and the Mumford and Sons frontman as they crafted the delicate tune at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios in Wiltshire.
Maisie – who co-wrote and co-produced the track with Marcus – said: “Say My Name In Your Sleep is a song about both haunting and being haunted.
“It’s about keeping a constant eye on the past – on the person you loved – whilst being old enough and grown enough to know it wasn’t right, and to wish them all the best. It’s about having a tiny, secret sliver of your heart that still, deep down, hopes and prays they think of you – just a little, just when it’s dark, just when they hear that song on the radio. It’s about letting go, begrudgingly, but letting your shadow linger a moment too long.”
Maisie – who is signed to Ed Sheeran’s Gingerbread Man Records – added: “It was one of the first songs Marcus and I wrote together in Real World Studios in deep winter – there was something magical and spooky in the air there, and I think it definitely got translated into this song.”
