Saint Mars’ latest offering, “I Am The Sea,” emerges as a poignant anthem against the pervasive issue of bullying, a cause dear to the band’s leader Marc Darcange and their exceptional young vocalist Tryzdin Grubbs. With a resolute mission to combat this social menace, Saint Mars unleashes a track that delves deep into the struggles and isolation faced by those affected, offering understanding, comfort, and hope.

The song’s evocative journey begins with the words “Je suis la Mer,” drawing the listener into an introspective world where a young boy’s tragic afternoon unfolds. The boy’s imagined words vividly portray the profound need for communication and empathy surrounding mental struggles, a topic that Darcange bravely emphasizes, shedding light on the shame that often prevents open discussions.

“I Am The Sea” stands as a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit of youth and the courage required to voice one’s inner battles. Through this soul-stirring melody, Saint Mars extends a hand of understanding and solidarity to every child who feels alone and misunderstood, reinforcing the belief that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Saint Mars's Tryzdin

Drawing from their personal experiences, Tryzdin and Marc infuse the song with raw emotion, transforming it into a symbol of resilience and the redemptive power of music as a medium for healing and self-expression.

Sonically, “I Am The Sea” mirrors the ambient aesthetics reminiscent of contemporary luminaries like Billie Eilish, Melanie Martinez, and Lana Del Rey. Saint Mars takes a bold step in a new direction, embracing simplicity and restraint to amplify the emotional intensity of the song. The sparse instrumentation ebbs and flows like the sea itself, creating a sonic representation of the track’s thematic underpinnings.

Saint Mars’ unique approach since their inception in 2017 is nothing short of extraordinary. With contributions from various countries and continents, the band fuses rock, pop, electronic, and rap influences, heavily inspired by the glories of the 80s. Their potent message against bullying, crafted for the young generation, has garnered critical acclaim and won hearts worldwide.

“I Am The Sea” is more than just a song; it’s a heartfelt call to action, urging listeners to break the silence, embrace vulnerability, and create a world where understanding and compassion reign supreme. Saint Mars’ unwavering dedication to combating bullying through their music proves that art has the power to inspire change and heal hearts.

I fell in love with music when I first picked up a guitar at age 8. When I played, my friends and family would smile and spill with joy over the music I played, even though it was never Grammy quality. While my music career never made it past high school, my love for music never waivered. I loved the feeling of bringing a smile to someone's face through music and wanted to keep that passion going. So, I took it upon myself to continue to support and promote artists by writing about their music. This way, I can support my personal passion for music and bring entertain and joy to others through music.  Outside my love for music, I do enjoy a good hike and being in the outdoors. My favorite place that I've hiked is in Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah. I love to travel too. I've been to Costa Rica, Vancouver, BC, and England, but the best place by far is Germany on Oktoberfest. I liken that experience to being in New Orleans on Mardi Gras. I like a good book now and then, but I'm more of a streaming fiend. I live for crime docuseries on Netflix, veterinary shows on National Geographic, and re-watching Scrubs on Hulu.
