Maple Mars - "Anchors Aweigh" Big Stir Records - Official Music Video

Artist City, State, Country: Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

Artist Bio: Arriving by time machine from the psychedelic era – and yet always thrillingly ahead of their time — Maple Mars landed on the Los Angeles pop scene with a multi-colored bang! Fronted by singer-songwriter Rick Hromadka, their psychedelic pop/rock debut album 'Welcome to Maple Mars' (Permanent Press Recordings) was recorded in guitarist Steve Berns' apartment. Industry mags such as Billboard, Album Network, Mojo, Hits Magazine, and Entertainment Weekly touted the album as one of the best indie pop-rock records of that year.
As their journey progressed, Maple Mars recorded three more albums echoing the likes of Pink Floyd, The Who, The Move, and The Beatles. Their fourth album, Galaxyland (2010), received college/internet radio play and garnered accolades across the global pop rock scene, hailed as “a psychedelic masterpiece and their most acclaimed album yet" by Twirl Radio.
Producer/guitarist Steve Berns, drummer Ron Pak (Double Naught Spies), bassist Joe Giddings (Theme Music, Ruby Free), and Rick Hromadka (Double Naught Spies, Ruby Free) are the travelers who take their influences to new territories on their 2022 LP 'Someone’s Got to Listen'. It's their fifth record overall and their first for Big Stir Records, who are delighted to welcome the hometown heroes to their roster.
The band has appeared on a variety of pop compilations from countries like Sweden, Germany, Japan, Australia, and Canada, winning international attention along with tours of both coasts of the US and in Europe. And the band's already back on the road in advance of the new album.

About the Video: Steve Berns (guitarist/producer): In the "Anchors Aweigh" video we felt that since the song had some obvious nautical imagery and we had access to a boat, why not shoot some content on the water?
Shane Hutton directed the video, Neal Walter piloted the drone, and Steve captained the boat. Scenes were intercut of the band in the studio and playing live to show the band at work and at play.
The live scenes were shot during our album release party at SIR Studios Hollywood while we were actually playing "Anchors Aweigh" to a live audience.
No sea creatures were harmed in the making of the video.

Song Lyrics: "Anchors Aweigh"

Over ashen waters
Miles out to sea
Years pass on this journey
Tides rain down on me
And I wonder if the winds of change
Will become a force
Though I’m not sure that it matters much
If there’s a change in course
Weather worn from battle
Victory’s unclear
Scars from the upheaval
Nothing to revere
And the ocean sways its own respite
As the hail downpours
And this ship will soldier on ahead
Through the darkest storms
Sailing on away through the hemisphere
High upon the waves til the vista’s clear
Anchors aweigh
This salty dog will stay the course
Celestial lights my Compass
Uncharted new frontiers
This vessel’s now my kingdom
She will persevere
But the voyage can prove arduous
With distress and strain
But I’m confident that safe passage
Blesses this campaign
Sailing on away through the hemisphere
High upon the waves in the sun shine
There’s nothing but sky in my telescope
Somewhere there’s new life, we’ll that’s the hope
Anchors aweigh
This salty dog will stay the course
