Sunrise : Featuring a warm collision of analog synths and four-on-the-floor dance beats, Sunset Sky’s ‘Sunrise’ overflows with earnestness and hope. From the thumping kick drum to the writhing bass to the iconic synths and contemplative vocals, this track straddles a sweet spot between synthpop and indie dance while delivering impact and emotion from start to finish.
This was fun from start to… almost finish. First there was the hook. Unstoppable and the song was hopeful and fun. Then came the usual production woes. It wasn’t terrible but I’m still debating some decisions, such as another rhythm synth and guitar. I hope you see for yourself. It is about small town dreams, dealing with despair and depression but still finding the sunrise. I loved making this song. I hope you love listening to it.
The main takeaway is the old, “it’s always darkest before dawn.” I don’t know if it’s true, but if you hang on long enough, maybe there will be an unbelievable sunrise you never imagined. Stay for it.
Sunrise Lyrics
small town dreams are nothing
but all i ever had
looking at the lights below
used to make me awfully sad
so used to having nothing
this is my reprieve
while the band is warming up now
don’t take it away from me
felt it was indiscretion
while traveling dark highways
buried all those feelings deep (down)
let them die and fade away
if you’re ever wondering
or feeling lost in life
drifting down through unknown water
can be paradise
i’m under no illusion
that this could all be lies
but for the very first time
feeling the warm sun rise
so if you’re ever wandering
or feeling lost in life
sometimes the twists and turns will
bring you to your paradise
Or listen to Thinking About It and Let It Rain
