Mary Boys Band - "Wake Me Up When May Comes"

Mary Boys Band keep their promise to drink the summer to the last drop with their new song "Wake Me Up When May Comes". Staying true to themselves, on the eve of winter, the musicians immerse us in warm emotions, typical of all their songs from the last three decades. The band's vocalist, Maria Mutafchieva, admits that summer is inside their souls, and they keep it within themselves so they can feel cozy all year round.

"Wake Me Up When May Comes"- this phrase from the four-line chorus has stayed with me for many years. I remember how it came to me at the end of one summer, and it seemed magical – as if those green waves were some kind of potion, an elixir I had never tasted before. But is it poisonous? What will happen if you drink it? Like in a fairy tale. "Wake Me Up When May Comes " is actually a fairy tale, but it is also everyone's life. I hope people truly feel themselves, and they do. They write to me: ''This song is written for me, this is me! I don’t want to let the summer go!’’ And I joke: ‘’Is it gone? It’s still here’’.


The music and arrangement of "Wake Me Up When May Comes" are by Miroslav Mutafchiev, who created them on the basis of on this four-line chorus. Mary finished the lyrics afterwards, which took her a while, because she wanted every word to be in place, to be strong, to always have a reference to fairy tales but also to reality, to be universal, to be something that each of us feels.

Mary Boys Band's birthday will be celebrated with a concert on February 7, 2025, at the Central Military Club in Sofia, where the boys and their Mary will have the opportunity to perform their new songs live in front of an audience, including "Wake Me Up When May Comes".
