SAIAH Bemoans Love Lost in New Song ‘My Mistakes As Run On Sentences’
Rising pop-punk artist SAIAH builds from lo-fi to an explosive crescendo on their deceptively mellow new single, “My mistakes as run on sentences.” An ode to rejection and regret, the track starts with acoustic guitar and bird song before plunging into a bass- and synth-heavy chorus. SAIAH originally came to music from athletics. Their mother was a 1988 Olympian, and they earned 10 college scholarship offers for track and field. Today, however, SAIAH’s heart is with music. Their goal is to create “something that can let you see that you can be unapologetically Black, Non-Binary, or unique in some way with no label and not only live, but thrive within yourself.” “My mistakes as run-on sentences” proves that thriving is not always easy. “You called my foul / and I’m drowning in all my mistak...

Only instead of an urgent need to urinate, they were faced with an unscratchable itch to hit the road and go on tour. And instead of ending with the satisfying flush of the loo, they were left with an entire concept album inspired by their adventures of yore, as well as the ones they hoped still hung on the horizon. “We were longing, craving, to be back on the road in our little tiny tour bus, our tin can tour bus,” Moody told EDM.com over Zoom. “The reality would’ve been us stopping off in some petrol station ordering a horrible hot dog and fifteen thousand packets of crisps and spilling coffee...
