Obscyron is a nostalgic deep dive into the emotional soundscapes of the 1980s — a personal and expressive project created by John AI Smith to explore the timeless beauty of synth-driven music. With Obscyron, John revisits the era where glowing melodies met vulnerable hearts, and every song felt like a confession under neon skies.

This project blends 80s pop ballads, synthpop, soft rock, and romantic new wave, reflecting a musical world where things were both emotionally raw and sonically rich. Obscyron doesn’t imitate the past — it reawakens it, giving space to modern stories told through vintage textures: analog synths, heartfelt vocals, warm pads, and shimmering refrains.

At the core of Obscyron is a sense of longing — for love, for youth, for moments that slipped through our fingers. Each song carries that signature John AI Smith touch: introspective, melodic, and deeply human.

Whether it's a tear-streaked ballad or a pulsating night-drive anthem, Obscyron exists to capture the feeling of being young, uncertain, and fully alive, wrapped in the glow of the decade that never truly left us.

Obscyron steps into the light with Back Then We Danced — a heartfelt 80s-inspired ballad that captures the innocence, complexity, and glow of young love. With lush synths, emotional vocals, and a timeless melody, this debut single blends romantic nostalgia with tender reflection. Created by John AI Smith, Obscyron invites listeners into a world where memories don’t fade — they dance.

"Back When We Danced" is a nostalgic 80s pop ballad that looks back on young love and the magic of simpler times. Driven by warm synths, emotional vocals, and a timeless groove, the song captures the memory of a perfect night—when everything felt right and the world stood still for just one dance. It’s a bittersweet tribute to moments we carry with us, even when everything else has changed.

Lyrics: 

We were younger, we were braver
Living moments we didn’t understand
Every look was like a promise
Every touch was unplanned

You held my hand when words were failing
We stood in silence just to feel
Not knowing love could be so heavy
Not knowing what was real

Back then we danced like the world stood still
Hearts wide open, chasing what we feel
It was easy, it was hard
We were close, yet miles apart
But I still remember how it all began
Back then…
Back when we danced

We didn’t ask too many questions
We didn’t know what time would steal
But in your eyes I saw a future
That somehow felt more real

There were nights we barely made it
But something always pulled us through
Even storms felt like a blessing
When I was next to you

Back then we danced like the world stood still
Hearts wide open, chasing what we feel
It was easy, it was hard
We were close, yet miles apart
But I still remember how it all began
Back then…
Back when we danced

Now the years have gone in silence
But the feeling still remains
Love like that never fades
It only hides beneath the pain

Back then we danced like it meant our lives
We were young, but the feeling still survives
It was fragile, it was strong
And it lived where we belong
And though the road has taken us from then
I still…
Remember when we danced

Back Then We Danced

"After That Night" is a heartfelt 80s-style synthpop love song that captures the spark of an unexpected connection. With retro synths, soft beats, and emotionally honest vocals, the track tells the story of two people whose lives quietly shifted after one unforgettable night. It’s a melodic reflection on longing, timing, and the kind of moment that lingers long after the lights fade.

Lyrics:

We stayed out late, just walking slow
You held my hand like you’d never let go
Something about it just felt so right
And I’ve been smiling ever since that night

I didn’t know love could start so fast
But here we are, and I’m glad it lasts
You looked at me like I was enough
And I’ve been falling deeper into us

After that night, my world changed
Everything’s softer, everything’s safe
You kissed me slow, you held me close
And now I feel what I needed most
You saw through all my walls and pride
And stayed right there, arms open wide
Whatever this is, it started bright—
After that night

I still remember the way you smiled
Like I was something you’d waited for a while
You didn’t rush it, you let it grow
Now I’ve got something I never thought I’d know

You gave me space, but pulled me near
You made it easy to trust you here
I never thought I’d feel this free
But now you’re part of every piece of me

After that night, I found home
In your laugh, your voice, in the way we’ve grown
You touched my heart, I let you in
And I don’t ever want this to end
We don’t need to guess or hide
You’re right here living by my side
And I still feel it burning bright—
After that night

It wasn’t fireworks or flashing lights
It was your hand finding mine
It was quiet, real, and kind
The kind of love you only find—
Once in a lifetime

After that night, I knew the truth
Everything changed when I found you
You showed me love I thought was gone
Now I’ve been yours all along
And every morning feels so right—
Because of that night

After that night
I found you

After That Night

"Mixtape and the Open Road" is a nostalgic 80s-inspired synthpop-rock ballad about leaving the city behind, chasing freedom, and rediscovering yourself with nothing but music and the night ahead. With emotional vocals, melodic guitars, and shimmering synths, the track captures that cinematic moment when you take control of your own story—windows down, mixtape playing, and the open road calling.

Lyrics:

I threw a few things in the back
Left a note that said, “I’ll be back”
Didn’t plan, just hit the gas
That old apartment fading fast

The streets I knew felt too tight
Same old faces, same old fights
I needed more than just routine
I needed space to find some meaning

With a mixtape and the open road
No promises, just letting go
Windows down, just taking it slow
I won’t turn around no more

This city never felt like mine
Too many days just wasting time
So here I am, don’t need to know
With a mixtape and the open road

They always said I’d fall apart
But I’ve been breaking from the start
That little voice inside my chest
Said “Get out now, and do your best”

Every town I pass tonight
Feels more like home than what I left behind
I don’t have much, but that’s okay
At least I’m feeling something these days

With a mixtape and the open road
No promises, just letting go
Windows down, just taking it slow
I won’t turn around no more

This city never felt like mine
Too many days just wasting time
So here I am, don’t need to know
With a mixtape and the open road

Late-night drives and broken signs
Gas station coffee, neon lights
I don’t know where I’m gonna sleep
But for the first time, I can breathe

With a mixtape and the open road
I’m chasing things I’ve never known
No one to please, no script to hold
Just me and songs and open soul

I’m done with waiting for the sign
I’ve got my past in the rearview line
So here I go—just take it slow
With a mixtape and the open road

“The Way You Smile” by Obscyron is a nostalgic synthpop ballad that channels the emotional glow of the 1980s. Part of John AI Smith’s retro-inspired project, it blends shimmering synths, soft drums, and heartfelt vocals to capture the quiet magic of a fleeting moment—like catching someone’s smile in the rearview mirror of a summer night.

Lyrics:

You were leaning by the window
Evening sun across your face
Then you looked my way so quietly
And time just seemed to slip away

It’s the way you smile, not trying at all
Like the world could wait, like nothing’s too small
And the way your eyes catch the light
Makes everything feel right

We didn’t talk much, didn’t have to
I still remember how you laughed
There was something in that moment
Like a photo I keep looking back

It’s the way you smile, not trying at all
Like the world could wait, like nothing’s too small
And the way your eyes catch the light
Makes everything feel right

Some things you don’t need to explain
Like how I still feel the same
It wasn’t loud, it wasn’t planned
But I’d go back there if I could

It’s the way you smile, not trying at all
Like the world could wait, like nothing’s too small
And the way your eyes catch the light
Still makes everything feel right

The Way You Smile

A dark synth-pop dive into unrequited love and pixelated pain. Arcade Heartache blends retro 80s sounds with 8-bit riffs and a broken heart stuck on loop. For anyone who's ever chased love through glowing screens and empty highscores.

Lyrics:

You walk by like I’m not even real
Just a glitch in your highlight reel
Dropped my name in your high score list
But you wiped it like I never exist

Lip gloss and quarter tones
You shine while I play alone
Every level, I lose a life
Just trying to earn your time

Player One, you’re always winning
But my heart keeps spinning
In this arcade heartache

I’m burning, baby, in pixel pain
Like a flashing screen calling your name
I’m stuck in this arcade heartache
Pressing start but you never break
And I fall—every time you fade
This arcade heartache just won’t save

I left you tokens in your coat
You cashed 'em in, but never wrote
You’re dancing in the laser light
I’m a shadow in the sprite

I made you a mixtape dream
Rewound it back where you don’t scream
Just static in the loading screen
Love turned digital and mean

Player One, you’re always winning
But my heart keeps spinning
In this arcade heartache

Still I’m burning, baby, in pixel pain
Game over, but I play again
I’m stuck in this arcade heartache
Your joystick love, my last mistake
And I fall—when you walk away
This arcade heartache wants me to stay

You were always Player One
I just wanted to belong
But I blink—
And you're gone

I’m still burning, baby, in pixel pain
Restart the ache, again and again
This arcade heartache’s all I know
Insert love… but you won’t show
And I fall—into your game
Arcade heartache…
Without your name

Arcade Heartache

feels like 2016 again...

LYRICS

Ahhh, savage love, Derulo

If I woke up without ya
I don't know what I would do
Thought I could be single forever
Till' I met you
Usually don't be fallin', be fallin' fallin' first
You gotta way of keeping me comin' back to back
I just found out, the only reason that you lovin' me
Is to get back at your ex lover but before you leave
Usually I would never, would never even care
Baby I know she creepin', I feel it in the air

Every night and every day
I try to make you stay
But your

Savage love
Did somebody, did somebody
Break your heart?
Lookin' like an angel
But your savage love
But when you kiss me
I know you don't give two fucks
But I still want that
Your savage love
Your savage love-love-love
Your savage love-love-love
You could use me
Cos I still want that your savage

Baby I hope this ain't karma cos I get around
You wanna run it up, I wanna lock it down
Usually don't be fallin', be fallin' fallin' first
You gotta way of making me spend up all my cash

Every night and every day
I try to make you stay
But your

Savage love
Did somebody, did somebody
Break your heart?
Lookin' like an angel
But your savage love
But when you kiss me
I know you don't give two fucks
But I still want that
Your savage love
Your savage love-love-love
Your savage love-love-love
You could use me
Cos I still want that your savage love

Your savage love-love-love
Your savage love-love-love
You could use me
Baby

Savage love
Did somebody, did somebody
Break your heart?
Lookin' like an angel
But your savage love
But when you kiss me
I know you don't give two fucks
But I still want that
Your savage love (savage love)
Your savage love-love-love
Your savage love-love-love
You could use me
Cos I still want that your savage love
