about

Pensacola Mist take you back to a starlit Camp Crystal Lake in their latest single 'What You Wish For'.

Pensacola Mist (Daniel Lee Cox, Oliver Payn and Melissa McNaught) follow-up their much lauded single The Dying Light with the their latest release, 'What You Wish For'.
What at first seems like a sweet nod to long-lost Summer romances turns more mysterious when the track's setting is revealed to be Crystal Lake; the infamous location of the 1980 horror movie 'Friday the 13th'. Whilst the lyrics conjure up memories of hormonal first lust, it's left to the listener to decide if the song is sung from the perspective of the victim or a bloodthirsty undercover killer.
You want to find somewhere quiet where it's just you and I? Careful What You Wish For.

The driving, upbeat force of What You Wish For 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.

The band's 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.

Based in North East England and Scotland, the high contrast synth-pop trio are inspired by 80s synths and cinema. The group have received national radio play on both BBC Radio 6 and BBC Introducing countless times and are hotly tipped for a breakthrough 2022.

lyrics

Save me
From the wreckage
Of this moment
It’s you and I
Chase me
To the water
Under night sky
See the stars shine on Crystal Lake

I wanna be wherever you are
I wanna be where the party’s at
I wanna get way too drunk
Waking up with a headache and no regrets

Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all coming true tonight
Just a matter of time
Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all fun and games
That’s right
Until one of you realise

Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all coming true tonight
Just a matter of time
Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all fun and games
That’s right
Until one of you realise

Wake me
From this nightmare
That I’m living
Inside my head
Take me
By the fire
Watch the sparks fall
Like the starlight on Crystal Lake

I wanna be wherever you are
I wanna be where the party’s at
I wanna get way too drunk
Waking up with a headache and no regrets

Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all coming true tonight
Just a matter of time
Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all fun and games
That’s right
Until one of you realise

Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all coming true tonight
Just a matter of time
Careful what you wish for
‘Cos it’s all fun and games
That’s right
Until one of you realise

That you’re
Too late
No escape
Come closer
Don’t be afraid
It’s not
Too late
To get away
I’m not here for you tonight
