STYLE: synth-pop vintage synthesizers drum machine female vocal retro and wistful with an 80s feel
(A cassette tape clicking and whirring vintage synth pads swell a drum machine kicks in with a soft retro beat)
I found a mixtape in a shoebox underneath my bed
"Summer '89"was written in your messy cursive red
I pressed play and suddenly I'm sixteen once again
Your voice between the songs saying"This one's for you friend"
The Dashboard lights the parking lot the stars above the mall
We thought we had forever we thought we knew it all
But the tape keeps spinning forward even when I press reverse
Every memory's a blessing wrapped inside a little curse
And I know I cannot live inside a song from long ago
Rewind the tape take me back to the start
Before the static and the silence and the drifting apart
Rewind the tape let me hear it once more
The sound of us believing in something worth fighting for
Press rewind press rewind
But the tape only plays in one direction baby
Rewind the tape rewind the tape
Track four was"our song"we'd scream it with the windows down
Hair flying everywhere not a care in this whole town
You said"We'll be like this when we're fifty mark my words"
Now we're strangers sharing memories like faded Polaroids and birds
That flew away the moment that we opened up the cage
We were beautiful and careless we were ink upon a page
And the hiss between the tracks sounds like the space between our lives
All the things we never said all the ways we didn't try
But the melody still finds me when I'm standing in the rain
Rewind the tape take me back to the start
Before the static and the silence and the drifting apart
Rewind the tape let me hear it once more
The sound of us believing in something worth fighting for
Press rewind press rewind
But the tape only plays in one direction baby
Rewind the tape rewind the tape
(Synthesizers strip back to a single warm pad drum machine drops out vocals become intimate)
What if I told you I still have the tape
And I play it every December when the world turns gray
What if I told you the songs still sound true
Even though the people that we were are long gone through
Gone through and through
(Synths swell back in drum machine returns with added fills)
Rewind the tape take me back to the start
Before the static and the silence and the breaking of my heart
Rewind the tape let me hear it once more
The sound of us forever young and reckless at the door
Press rewind press rewind
But the tape only plays in one direction baby
So I'll play it forward play it forward
Rewind the tape in my mind
(Cassette tape clicking stops synth pads fade like a signal losing reception)
The tape keeps spinning
But I remember every note
Rewind rewind
