Philly indie folk band Mt. Joy, dives into this idea of chasing your dreams and finding the meaning of true happiness. Take the new song “Cardinal,” When discussing how the song came to be, singer Matt Quinn shares, “I saw a cardinal flying around in the snow, and joked with a friend that maybe he just got high or something and missed his flight south for the winter.
That Cardinal really seemed to be thriving out there though. A lot of people I love are a lot like that cardinal, so this song is for them. Not everyone takes the traditional path, and that’s really what makes the world interesting. So, if you’re truly happy, don’t let other people try to tell you how to live.” Give the track a spin in the player above.
With over 3.6 million streams on their previous single “Astrovan” which was released last fall, and 1.8 million streams on their single “Sheep,” which was released earlier this year, Mt. Joy has a promising career ahead and we’re excited to be along for the ride! The band is currently recording their first full-length album, but fans can catch the guys on tour later this summer.
