Astronaut in the Ocean by Masked Wolf came out on June 6, 2019, published by Teamwrk Records. As soon as it came out, the musical style, the song’s wording, and its widespread recognition on social media made it an instant hit.
Elektra Records later re-released the title in the first month of 2021. At the same time, the label also signed creator Masked Wolf to a multi-album deal. Nonetheless, he is still affiliated with Teamwrk and the song is achieving milestones one after another on major apps and music sharing platforms.
All about Astronaut in the Ocean
Astronaut in the Ocean’s lyrics were written (not solely) and sung by an Australian rapper who was unknown in the industry before this title exploded on social media. He is active in the field since 2018 with this title as his most acclaimed and famous work.
The name Masked Wolf alludes to his dual nature, where in his own words you would never believe he’s a rapper if you see or meet him outside of the studios.
He wrote the song with the help of its producer Tyron Hapi, a Sydney-based musician. It was unsuccessful from the start. But as soon as the TikTok short video platform, users began to gain momentum.
It soon began to find utility on other social media platforms like Instagram and exploded as a bestseller. It reached the first place on the music charts in places like the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With more fame in the European continent, his fame spread to many countries.
What does astronaut in the ocean mean?
Until its release and even after a while, the creator of Masked Wolf was not having an easy path in his career. And by his own account, he was going through troubled waters due to mental depression while working on this track.
And according to him, the words here convey the atmosphere and experiences that he went through at that time. The analogy is that astronauts prepare for space by training in Ocean. Working and performing tasks in the ocean as they would later in space.
Same for the artist, he was hard at work while up to his ears in the deep sea of depression. That is why he felt like an astronaut while the ocean denotes the unbearable anguish and restlessness that surrounded him at that moment.
What special message does he have for us?
As we live in a phase of time where there is not much social contact and our lives are defined more by our interactions in the virtual world than in reality, it has given us a whole new set of problems.
First on the list are the impacts of these changing circumstances on our mental health. It is becoming an important issue to consider in the coming times. In the song, as we can feel, the artist is in mental agony, but he has the determination to overcome this situation.
An inspiring story of her resolve to overcome the difficulties anyone can face in life. A great song to listen to on repeat. It tells us to treat other people’s criticism as noise and focus on our work.
Conclusion
Astronaut in the Ocean is a song that gained fame quite late after its release but, nevertheless, social media once again proved to be a place where talent can get the most suitable platform to showcase themselves. With a great message, it is one of Masked Wolf’s best works.
