The story behind the song

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, led by singer Alex Ebert, crafted a folk-rock sound that evoked the free-spirited hippie movement. The band's music, drawing from roots rock, folk, gospel, and psychedelic influences, often carries a communal and joyful feeling. "Mayla" appears on their 2012 release Transparent, Volume 1, and embodies the band's warm, inviting spirit. Playing it can feel like stepping into a sun-drenched, open-hearted gathering.
