Cautious Clay Cheesin' (Ft. Still Woozy, Sophie Meiers, Remi Wolf, Claud, Melanie Faye and HXNS)

As though the world pulled the plug and the lights went out, the stages of the world remain empty. The scheduled dates that held the promise of fans and artists coming together has been replaced with an echo or the sound of wind. Cautious Clay, Still Woozy, Sophie Meiers, Remi Wolf, Claud, Melanie Faye and HXNS have picked up the plug and tried to put it back in, switching the lights back on in their own way.

"Cheesin'" is a collaboration, the net profit of which, goes towards supporting artists who have felt the effects of COVID-19. With this much talent jammed into one track, it's no surprise that they've released a really smooth single. Some might consider the song the highlight with the cherry-on-top being the ability to support artists; others might be 100% behind the initiative with the added bonus of a great track.

If you're the former or the latter, you've got the song in your ears, so now time for the next step: cheesin4charity.com.

While you listen, read along with the lyrics so you can match the artists with the sounds:

Cautious Clay (Chorus):

I’ve been knowing that we can’t last

Made it all up just to stay with you

Now I’m cheesin’ when you blow past

If you take a slice of me that’s all alright with me

Remi Wolf:

Oh boy I never see the smile in your eyes

Yea you wear a disguise

Yea you’re so hard to find

So make up your mind baby

I don’t need no more maybes

And I tried to call you last night

All my friends said ‘stop’

Cautious Clay (Chorus):

I’ve been knowing that we can’t last

Made it all up just to stay with you

Now I’m cheesin’ when you blow past

If you take a slice of me that’s all alright with me

Still Woozy:

Well it’s not the same in the morning

I’m picking up signs that you’re leavin’

But we’re deep in, so it depends

If this is how you want me then I am yours

Just another body calling me over

Sophie Meiers:

I don’t know what you want me to say

It’s been so long

That I’m feeling this way

In your arms is my favorite place

Can we talk I want you to stay

Claud:

I thought that everything was changing

I loved the life that we were making

It’s not a walk in the park if I trip in the dark

It’s a sign of the times and it’s hard

Melanie Faye:

Cautious Clay + Sophie Meiers (Chorus):

I’ve been knowing that we can’t last

Made it all up just to stay with you

Now I’m cheesin’ when you blow past

If you take a slice of me that’s all alright with me

Melanie Faye:
