about

DS8's first new track since the release of their debut album "We Sleep Again" is the story of a girl who falls in love with a boy and then travels to the future in a time machine to confirm that they'll always be together. Set in a video arcade in the 1980's, DS8 have limited the musical landscape to synths that were available in 1982. Set to the beat of Linndrum, Erica's vocals glide over the pulsing sounds of a Roland Jupiter 4, a Roland SH-2, a Korg 770, a Yamaha CS-15 and a Yamaha CS-70m.

lyrics

I kissed you on the boardwalk
near the quiet ocean waves
and then i followed you
and then you followed me

sodas in the arcade
it’s no fun to be alone
lost in love I’m such a fool
you’re the best at moon patrol

dark corner in the arcade
broken game has come to life
play a quarter you will see
if your dreams will come to be

staring at the screen
inside a world so far away
future husband, future wife
it’s the story of my life

“I don’t believe in love” he let me know
on an arcade summer night, i let it go
then i traveled to the future
and i traveled to the past
i saw you standing next to me
and knew that this love could last

a pocket full of quarters
a cassette I made for you
will you listen our songs ?
will you try to sing along ?

staring at the screen
inside a world so far away
future husband, future wife
it’s the story of my life

“I don’t believe in love” he let me know
on an arcade summer night, i let it go
then i traveled to the future
and i traveled to the past
i saw you standing next to me
and knew that this love could last

There’s a life, now it’s gone
your high score all alone, without me
play without me

“I don’t believe in love” he let me know
an arcade summer night , i let it go
then i traveled to the future
and i traveled to the past
you faded from the photograph
I know this love won’t last.

“Touches on a nostalgic, shared love for ‘80s synth pop that evokes a dreamlike wonder.” – Billboard

“Jam packed with vintage synth tones that meld together into a straightforward pop track. While synthesizers form the core of Dream System 8’s unique electronic pop sound, the song is elevated to a higher plane by its ethereal female vocals.” – mxdwn.com ... more
