These two songs have melodies that will break your heart. Hide and Seek was a cultural moment and introduced many folks to the vocoder. Lyrically pretty abstract, but proof that melody and performance can make a lasting statement.

The Maze. I first heard this song in an emotionally touching scene in a series I was watching. It’s a great example of a song that can act as a character in a scene, or a moment in your life. It feels full of love while sitting on the edge of actually understanding romantic or parental love. It’s a theme close to my heart, and I really appreciate how MO records their music.
