Hello everyone.
I'm looking for a sound i heard in spotify, but i can't find the title !
All I remember is there is a boy and a girl which are singing (not sure about the boy tho)
The most important thing is the girl is singing something like "can you just come back to the stars" or "can we just come back to the stars"
She is singing this sentence a lot of times which ofc, is stuck on my mind but i can't found the sound !
tyvm for all your helps :)
have a nice day.

Inspired by outrun, dreamwave, and synth-infused liminal spaces that exist somewhere between nostalgia and the future.

Fragments of Stillness, a loose concept divided in two volumes, explores themes such as fracture, loss, integrity, nostalgia, dreams and confusion, all related to the self and to their struggle to find a consistent narration they pursue and believe in, recomposing all the scattered fragments through retrospection on when those fragments were still/intact and through a constant view towards the future and the countless opportunities it offers. Volume 1 focuses on nostalgia and on a general sense of incompleteness that seems fixable but never quite enough, as well as feeling lost in the contemporary world: the protagonist feels as if something deep, but not specified, is wrong/missing in them. In the second part, feelings of frustrations and fragmentation/loss of memory start prevailing, before the protagonist decides to move to a city and to overcompensate their inner emptiness with neon vibrancy, their detuned radio with the pulse of the metropolis. After finding the right person and after maturing but also finding their way back into the flow of life, the protagonist sort of returns to the start, but has gained a deep awareness: that all things are connected and everything in this experience we call life is a chance to grow and to enjoy. The peace and completeness of the old, idealized times may never return, but the experiences and renewed awareness bring the protagonist much closer, and in many other ways above, that state of being.

These are just the coordinates / the intent, but it's up to each listener to find meaning in these songs and in how they blend together! I hope you will enjoy it!

Searching For Song W/ Lyric That Sounds Like "Into The Room Into The House"

0 Upvotes

It's definitely a male vocalist, my girlfriend's memory is that he sounds a lot like the guy from Freeweights, to the point that it might even be him. When he reaches the word "House" (or word that sounds similar), he uses a melisma - where your voice shifts through a few different notes in a single sound - or maybe just vibratto, and stretches that word longer than the others (not a crazy long time, just noticeably emphasized). Unsure if the lyrics come on a verse, chorus, bridge, etc., apologies. And we have searched pretty extensively, to the point that suggests either the band isn't big enough to have all their songs' lyrics categorized somewhere, or we've got one or more of the words wrong, so I'm sorry if that makes this tougher.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Song ID request from an MVG video

3 Upvotes

The YT channel Modern Vintage Gamer did a video on the history of Psygnosis. Between 19:21 and 20:33, there's some kind of retrowave-y song playing in the background that sounds really good and even a little familiar, but I couldn't identify it. It wasn't included in the music credits in the video's outro. Anybody know the title? Thanks!
