We are OrcaMind, and this is our original song "Sujameco"
Written / Produced by: OrcaMind - @JosiahEverhart and @michelleheafy
Filming/Recording/Mixing: OrcaMind
Sujameco is our song we wrote about a space shipwreck by the same name. We like to call it our space shanty.
We livestreamed this filming/recording session. On our livestream, we perform two and a half hour shows, four nights a week to our fun community!
Our music focuses on memorable melodies and detailed songwriting, with haunting dual harmonies and intertwining lead vocals. OrcaMind's style is influenced by classic video game music, and we like to create vibes that transport you to another world. The song has 3 "acts" within it. In fact, when writing it, we storyboarded it like we were writing a movie.
This is for sure the song that the most people have asked us to release, after playing it on our stream and at live performances over the past couple of years. Funny story: our friend who owns a music venue likes this song so much that - we played two nights of Xmas shows where everyone plays holiday themed songs...but he literally made us play Sujameco on both nights. It's definitely not a holiday song if you listen to the lyrics lol.
We've had this song in production in our home studio for a long time. We're so particular and ambitious about this song that we just kept waiting on finishing it due to different factors.
We first attempted to record this song in our usual studio style (in isolated vocal booths, separately), and it just wasn't how we wanted it delivery-wise. It needed to be more natural, acoustic and raw. We shelved the song's production, again.
I also feel that this song is an attention span healer lol - because you just gotta listen to the whole thing to get the full story and vibe.
When the contest opened up this year, we decided to finish Sujameco once and for all. This time we would perform it the way we do it most often - live, together, acoustic for our streaming audience! And it clicked! Enjoy our tale of the haunted abandoned spaceship - Sujameco.

Sujameco Lyrics by OrcaMind (Josiah Everhart & Michelle Heafy)
It was late one night
On standard time
I had the wheel as the captain lie
In her quarters for a spell
I knew those trade lanes just as well
The distant glow of scattered stars
Beckoned softly from afar
Many hours I'd been awake
My eyelids sank with heavy weight
Suddenly I was disturbed
By flashing lights and blinking words
A reading from another ship
I hit the comms with hastened lips
Captain, I have picked up something
Sensors indicate we’re running
Close to what appears to be
Another vessel, though I don’t see
Any signs of life
Or a distress beacon of any kind
Doesn’t it seem strange to you?
Tell me captain, what will we do?
Your orders are to set a course
For the strange faint reading’s source
You picked it up near Ganymede
So put the engines at full speed
Sujameco was the name
Written there in faded paint
A century in solar rays
Had peeled the paint and turned it grey
Captain, it has been forsaken
Such a peculiar course it's taken
Far from any trading lanes
I can't say that I've heard that name
Drifting for a lifetime appears
To be the way ended up here
A simple scan will not suffice
We should board and search for life
To man the helm I was assigned
Captain led, I stayed behind, said:
"Be prepared to disembark
Crew, descend into the dark"
Hours passed
They cleared each deck - seemed
Not much more than a shipwreck
Until a voice came through the fray
On the comms, I heard it say
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
The voice was sordid and contorted
Was nothing like I'd heard before
It curdled blood and splattered wits
If you were there
Well you'd believe it
Rushing back as fast as they can
Grasping the controls in my hands
Moved themselves a force beyond me
Docking rings were disengaging
The pleas transmitted were erratic
But the screaming fades to static
I had no choice but to evade
Still it haunts me to this day
You'll never hear the end of Sujameco
In the dead of night you'll cry
And hear it echo
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
Run while you still can
The devil's got you in his hands
