“Don’t Forget Me” is Mea’s tribute to her mother, Patricia who tragically passed away after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 84. A common occurrence during the stages of Alzheimer’s disease is when the patient loses their memory. Mea states, “As her only child, the fear of being told that someday my mother might forget me terrified me to the core. I feared it everyday but it didn’t happen. She always remembered her “little baby girl” all the way to the very end. Never once did she forget me. It was a gift, even though I lost her.”
The music video for “Don’t Forget Me” captures the beauty and the heartbreak so often felt from the perspective of the caregiver – the trips to the doctor’s office, the feeling of helplessness as well as the endless calls symbolized by the slamming down of the phone on the receiver. The visual representation of Mea’s story provides a snapshot of the journey taken by a caregiver and their loved one though terminal illness. Nostalgic, hazy, flashback scenes mirror the real-life loving relationship and memories Méa had with her mother.
More from Me And My Nightmare:
Me And My Nightmare’s visionary, Méa Fisher, (aka DJ Mea), is a force to be reckoned with, captivating audiences with her alluring stage presence, genre-defying sound, and thrillingly bold sense of style. Her voice is not just perfect for electrifying EDM; her attitude radiates passion with an intriguing hint of darkness. From her beginnings as a vinyl DJ in Chicago’s 90s house scene, Méa established herself as a triple threat—her impressive live vocals, down-to-party attitude, and dazzling visual appeal caught the attention of listeners and musicians alike. She swiftly rose to international stardom, seizing remarkable opportunities that brought her career to the next level.
When Méa relocated to Los Angeles in 2000 and pivoted from vinyl to digital CD mixing, she fell in love with making original music and launched her own band, Meandmymachine. Her lively yet dark melodies and emotion-stirring sound caught the eye of Praga Khan, creator of the legendary industrial rock group, Lords of Acid. Mea became Lords of Acid’s lead singer in 2011, meeting future collaborators along the way like industrial rock pioneers, En Esch (KMFDM, Pigface, Slick Idiot), Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), Neil Mclellan (The Prodigy) and many more.
Having returned from her 2017 tour with Lords Of Acid, Mea cared for her mother battling Alzheimer’s, up until last year when she sadly passed away. Now Méa’s newest ensemble is ecstatic to release a fresh album brimming with party anthems, touching stories, and everything in between. Me And My Nightmare expertly evokes a sense of elevation and excitement on the dance floor, masterfully pulling elements from multiple genres to create an immersive show unlike anything heard before.
