A Synthwave Song & a Poll // Complicated World (Part Two)
Added 2024-10-30 01:38:53 +0000 UTCUpdate: Thanks so much for the clear feedback everyone. I never regret asking you guys for advice. Here's the final version that combines the most voted for elements of both images. See you in the fifth dimension...

Original post: Don't worry, we're not turning into a retro music channel, but sometimes things are ready when they're ready and a new song might come right after a music video. My synthwave/retrowave tunes are just like buses; you wait 2 years for new music then 3 come along at once! Okay not quite like buses.
Below is your exclusive hi-def early access to the new track Complicated World (Part Two) along with an exclusive extended version just for you. As always please don't share publicly; this is just for special people. An 80s flavoured music video will probably follow, in the future, or in the fifth dimension...
As for the poll, we'd love to know which single cover art you prefer for when the song hits streaming. (Hint: The final verse should make sense of the cover). The track is also not final yet so as always I welcome constructive critique on any element.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the track! βοΈπΏ

Lyrics
THERE'S MANY TIMES
WHEN I THINK OF YOU
AND ALL THOSE THINGS
THAT YOU USED TO DO
BUT THE HARDER I THINK
THE MORE IT SEEMS TO BE
THAT ONLY YOU
WERE MEANT FOR ME
CHORUS:
YOU LIVE
IN A COMPLICATED WORLD
BUT ITβS SIMPLE
IβM YOUR GIRL
WHEN YOUβRE READY
IβLL BE WAITING THERE FOR YOU
AND WE CAN START
PART TWO
ONE OF THESE DAYS
YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME
BRING BACK YOUR SENSE
AND YOUR SENSIBILITY
LOOK AT THE SKY
IT'S CAVING IN
I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHERE TO BEGIN
(REPEAT CHORUS)
THERE EXISTS
A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU
SHUT AWAY IN A LOCKET
MADE FOR TWO
AND EVERY TIME
I LOOK INTO THAT SMILE
I HAVE TO STOP LOOKING
FOR A WHILE
IT'S JUST A TWO
DIMENSIONAL THING
LYING NEXT TO A THREE
DIMENSIONAL RING
NOW LOST IN FOUR
DIMENSIONAL TIME
MAYBE IN THE FIFTH
YOU ARE MINE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
