Retro wave synthwave remix abstracted version. 

Original version: https://soundcloud.com/markantares/unrealized-future

I reminisce about old TV shows and books we read in the 80s and 90s that depicted what the future would be like. None of them seemed to accurately predict what it turned into. However, I believe it’s more of a delayed phenomenon, where there are unforeseen technological advancements and other developments that are still far beyond our current timeline.

This was not my first song choice for remix yet I opened up the track one day and started switching synths around, made a different style beat and then put an overall layer of vertigo over the top of the mix. I sat with it for a few weeks until I liked where it was at. I hope you enjoy this version as well as the first. 

Unrealized Future

The future we thought was the 80s dream
in 2025 was not the same thing
Visions of where we hoped to be
Was a stranger reality

Some might say I’m stuck in my ways
That I like living in the past
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize

We said at the time in 30 years
we’ll have flying cars
with jetpacks hovering skates
Ended up with small tv screens
plastic everywhere in our oceans
and lakes

Some might say I’m stuck in my ways
That I like living in the past
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize

The temperatures warm and the climates changed
and there some who believe we live in an ice age
You will know when life it has improved
Spend some time outdoors without burning away

Some might say I’m stuck in my ways
That I like living in the past
Retrofuture dream that our society
would not realize
