Monkey Safari - Safe

Capturing the current world mood perfectly - the tension, the frustrating pace, the pent-up emotion and that feeling of absolute longing for friends, family, normality to return - 'Safe' is one of the most fitting lockdown soundtracks you'll hear all pandemic.

The latest in a long line of breath-taking emotion-laden hitters (think 'Hi', 'Mantra' and 'Gira' in the last year alone) the unstoppable Monkey Safari roll out an eight minute moment of calm in an otherwise chaotic, uncertain world. Disarming chord progressions, a gradual sense of release and hope and a spoken word sample that will bring many to tears, 'Safe' is one of Monkey Safari's most thoughtful and well-executed tracks to date.

'Just a few months ago, when our lives had not been upside-down yet, we produced 'Safe' as a message of unity, hope, and love. Just a normal day in the studio. But now, in these days of social isolation, it seems 'Safe' represents exactly our feelings when we look at the empty world outside. Sharing emotions is one of our main motivations when producing music and DJing. Getting together, dancing together, smiling together. 'Safe' is full of emotions that we would love to share with everyone.' Monkey Safari.

Sharing is caring: 'Safe' has been subject to so many ID requests since Joris Voorn first started playing it, they've pushed the release forward for us all to enjoy. Stay safe everyone, brighter days will return eventually.

I have bone cancer and recently started chemotherapy, which makes movement easier, and I love to 'move' to this.

This song has to be heard on high quality speakers or headphones. I feel like I have been transported to another dimension. Not many songs make me this excited

[johnmk]

Lyrics being sung by that fantastic sultry Scottish girl are:

The Sun, the Stars, the Moon
Open your eyes
You're beautiful
Don't cry
I love you
I miss you
I need you
I'm lost without you
Look into my eyes
Tell me what I can do
Keep me safe
Dance with me
I love

[OutOfMySystem]

People are going to keep coming back to this track. It's a beautiful thing that will have your own interpretation depending on where you are on your journey but the speech samples are Holly Drummond from the album Echoes on Black Octopus Sound or Splice. Buy the whole album - it's great!

[MicheleAnesi]

It has a whole new meaning if you listen to it during sunset. Incredible.

[neilspencer-frisson-yoga]

this track is unreal! when I hear a track like this time stops, and the hairs on my arms & neck stand up straight. it’s really strange, but this track makes me laugh & cry at the same time 🤷🏼

[nhlanhlasiluma]

you ever wonder how on earth something this good even exists?

[hollowmantra]

I feel like her voice is an interpretation of the universe speaking to me. Unreal. Perfect.

[djnydris]

Some songs feel like a portal to another world, a path to our true self. This song is one of those.

[cellardoorterrarium]

I feel like this song is me speaking to myself. I needed this song in my life.

[bryanrivera]

I just lost my grandpa from covid and now hit a level of depression that I have never felt. This song and its remix by Joris Voorn is what is currently keeping me sane right now. Listening to it over and over gives me an escape from this reality nightmare I am going through. Thank you for such beautiful music. <3

[sumone]

I love when you can listen to a song with such a fucking vibe it brings you to tears & gives you chills.

[bumblesquirt]

All I can hear is Time by Pachanga Boys.

[hughallan]

This is an 8 minute masterpiece. Epic.

[BongoBaggins]

I had a heart attack on Friday. I died in theatre, but they brought me back. I haven't seen my missus yet due to Covid restrictions but this is for her. Fucking hell this song is for her.

[swcfuko]

many ppl would say this song is kinda boring... I hope these ppl one day will find a way to connect to this kind of emotion when u listen to such an amazing vibe, this song is like a melody came alive that fills your body and your soul in a deep feeling of everything life has to offer

[dreamer]

Goosebumps head to toe! Close your eyes and fly away from all the harm, be surrounded always by positive vibes!
