about

After gaining popularity as a duo, Pensacola Mist (Daniel Lee Cox and Oliver Payn) now features the deathly sweet vocal talents of Melissa McNaught to complete the line-up. Melissa previously provided guest vocals for 'Sex and Violence' the band's most streamed hit to date.

The Dying Light, as well as the other tracks on their upcoming album 'Lost in Love' pays homage to a nostalgia tinged time that only exists through rose-tinted glasses and in-between VHS scanlines; where the passion and excitement of a new relationship can feel like an adrenaline fuelled police chase. and can end just as badly.

The huge soundscapes of The Dying Light perfectly captures the electric, larger-than-life energy the band have become known for, both in their music and on-stage where their customised light show and powerhouse vocals earned them a spot in the 'Top 10 NE Artists to See Live in 2022' list by NE Volume Magazine.

lyrics

There’s an old hotel
In a run down part of the city
Where the rumours grow
On Venice Beach I fell
I fell in love at first sight with a city
That’ll steal your soul

From the beaches to the palm trees
You’ll be lost in Los Angeles
From the beaches to the palm trees
You must be lost in Los Angeles

It’s just you and I vs. everyone
Yeah, you better call 911
In the dying light
The setting sun
It’s a hit and run
(Lost Angeles)
It’s just you and I vs. everyone
Yeah, you better call 911
In the dying light
The setting sun
It’s a hit and run
(Lost Angeles)

There’s an old hotel
It’s where I lost my heart in the city
Where the ‘real men’ go
The taste of cheap champagne
Lipstick stains all over the pillow
He really stole the show

From the beaches to the palm trees
You’ll be lost in Los Angeles
From the beaches to the palm trees
You must be lost in Los Angeles

It’s just you and I vs. everyone
Yeah, you better call 911
In the dying light
The setting sun
It’s a hit and run
(Lost Angeles)
It’s just you and I vs. everyone
Yeah, you better call 911
In the dying light
The setting sun
It’s a hit and run
(Lost Angeles)

Look in the mirror
You’ll know

Look in the mirror
You’ll know
