Bottom Of The Deep Blue Sea

Loner

2017

“Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea”, like most of the songs on Missio’s Loner, finds its roots in Matthew Brue’s winding road to sobriety as he reflects back on his teen years as an alcoholic and addict. Brue uses the feeling of being pulled down to the bottom of the sea as a metaphor for the failure to overcome addiction (or anxiety or depression). He chose to add a sexual overtone to the conversation happening between the temptation (expressed in the chorus) and its victim (represented in the verses). “Bottom of the Deep Blue Sea” was the third single released from Loner and is the second to appear on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart. It also reached #1 on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation Top 18 Chart in August 2017. In 2018, the song was included in the soundtrack of Asphalt 9: Legends, a mobile racing game made by Gameloft Barcelona.
