Swedish synthpop artist, Azure Blue, have released a new single Event Horizon. If I were going to introduce someone to modern synthpop, I very well might start with this song. This track has smooth synths, catchy vocals and a great melody. It would not be out of place in a John Hughes movie. This track is off the forthcoming album Images Of You, due out on June 14.
Singer Tobias Isaksson describes the song as:
Event Horizon in a love song framed by the enviromental crisis. Love in the times of frightening change
Lyrics
We’re coming down a road
Like many have done before
I’ve walked a thousand miles to pull you near
The sceneries have changed
But you and I’ll adapt for the long-range
We’ll never be estranged
Beyond the breaking ices
Beyond the sea that rises
I want to see
what I have never seen before
Beyond disputes and vices
and consolation prices
I want to make sure
that we’ll be safe here on our shore
The longest nights are gone
The season’s moving on
I’ve burnt a thousand fires to pull you near
The servants always kneel
But you and I’ll unite to face the man
In love and art we stand
Beyond the breaking ices
Beyond the sea that rises
I want to see
what I have never seen before
Beyond disputes and vices
and consolation prices
I want to make sure
that we’ll be safe here on our shore
Beyond the breaking ices
Beyond the sea that rises
I want to see
what I have never seen before
Beyond disputes and vices
and any event horizon
I want to make sure
that we’ll be safe here on our shore
