Maisie Peters new single Say My Name In Your Sleep is loosely based on Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Maisie Peters
British singer-songwriter Maisie Peters has released her new single this week (19th November). It is called Say My Name In Your Sleep and is the third single to be released from her soon-to-be-announced album.
Maisie wrote this new track in collaboration with Marcus Mumford, lead singer of the folk band Mumford and Sons. It was one of the first songs Maisie and Marcus wrote together at the Real World Studios last winter.
Maisie says:
There was something magical and spooky in the air there, and I think it definitely got translated into this song.
She goes on to say:
The track is loosely inspired by Rebecca, the 1938 Gothic novel by Daphne du Maurier, and explores how love has an undying impact on each of us, as well as how the right love helps you heal from the wrong one. 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.
