Nightlights

Burning in the distance
There’s a fire
It’s been going on for days
No one there to stop it
Nothing
That can hold the spreading blaze
The small view from my window
Is getting slimmer
Almost covered up in dirt
The sun is lost
behind the black smoke
Everything looks the same
The colours start to fade
I’m just Waiting for the nightlights
To count the passing time
Pushing for my sanity
Struggling to survive
Following the nightlights
Flashing far away
Moving in slow motion
Beyond a violet sky
How long 'till they’ll be here
Will they find me
What will happen when they come
The moon is lost
behind the black clouds
Everything looks the same
The colours starts to fade
I’m just Waiting for the nightlights
To count the passing time
Pushing for my sanity
Struggling to survive
Following the nightlights
Flashing far away
Moving in slow motion
Beyond a violet sky

Coney Island

Love was flooding my eyes
In green and violet
Made a pun for your smile
So good to see you excited
Everything look smaller
From the top of the Wonder Wheel
Your rest your head on my shoulder
Looking down on cobalt sea
Coney Island down the boardwalk
Still enchanted like we just met
With our feet into the ocean
In the light of a sunset
Sky’ so clear now clouds have vanished
Being with you here is all I ask for
Like a scene from an old movie
Hand in hand along the shore
Run my hand through your hair
You lean into my embrace
I’m so calm and aware
This is our time and our place
Leave behind all your fears
We will always find our own ways
We never thought this could be
The most perfect of all days
Coney Island down the boardwalk
Still enchanted like we just met
With our feet into the ocean
In the light of a sunset
Sky’ so clear now clouds have vanished
Being with you here is all I ask for
Like a scene from an old movie
Hand in hand along the shore

The Way We Smiled

We were driving around
In a hot summer night
In the cool streets of Milan
I loved watching you drive
With a smile on your face
And your blond curls in the air
None could tell
How broken we were
If they saw the way we smiled
We were holding on
We were holding on
I was always there for you
And you know that I’ll always do
I will always come to you
Held on to each other
In difficult times
We managed to survive
Dancing together
And singing out loud
To song that I despised
None could tell
How broken we were
If they saw the way we smiled
We were holding on
We were holding on
I was always there for you
And you know that I’ll always do
I will always come to you

There were no more allies
The moment you stepped out the door
So perfect and unreachable
We just played to our lies
Knowing we won’t stand a chance
So way out of our league
Then I played that song to you
Glowing in sunbeams
The blooming of life
Feel the music let it through
A song for a summer
Plays for me and you
You came straight up to me
My mind was exploding
I could barely speak
In the shade of a tree
We talked about November tuesdays
And we played that tape again
Than I felt your lips on mine
All of a sudden
The blooming of my life
Feel the music let it through
A song for a summer
Plays for me and you

The Aftermath

Its always been like this
For countless generations
Things keep moving forward
To unknown destinations
It’s a path that has been scripted
We went wrong along the way
The last words had been submitted
There’s no time to escape
White lights our hands were not the ones who fired
The price we’ll pay is far too high
I’m trying to overcome my death
Surviving through the aftermath
I don’t even know the ones to blame
I just wish you could be here again
Holding my hand
Surviving through the aftermath
We thought we saw it clear
Our destination set
We thought we knew it all
the future we will get
This is not what’s been promised
This is everything we feared
Hopes and dreams have been demolished
The world we knew has disappeared
White lights our hands were not the ones who fired
The price we’ll pay is far too high
I’m trying to overcome my death
Surviving through the aftermath
I don’t even know the ones to blame
I just wish you could be here again
Holding my hand
Surviving through the aftermath

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old.

Synthwave goes pop on the latest from UK artist LAU: Irresistible cotton-candy vocal melodies, and electronics that go off like fireworks.
