This world just doesnt feel right anymore. Sometimes everything just gets too much. So i keep locking myself up, in thoughts of better times.

This is Volume 5 of a series of nostalgic synthwave songs, with the sound and feel of the 80´s. Meant to carry you back to times where it seemed all so much better.
Close your eyes and drift into a nostalgic dreamscape.
Let the warm analog synths, lush guitar riffs, and pulsing rhythms take you back to long-forgotten nights — filled with hope, loss, and everything in between.

Perfect for late-night drives, creative moments, or simply letting go and getting lost in thought.
Let the music carry you — through warm sunsets, rainy streets, flickering city lights, and the quiet echoes of a time long past.

Thank you so much ❤️

Feel like Now

instrumental intro ]

Hard to listen deep harmonies falling down...on you,
on to your shoulders ,
hard tones on your backbone pushing you down
to the ground

[ instrumental intro ]
aahhh, you are not alone
aahhh, everything is moving slow
aaahhh you wish you could just go


friends in white shirts and black coats
around you like a stonecold wall
old ruins of your damned soul
and you, mate, join me in this black light show

[ bridge ]

aahhh, you are not alone
aahhh, everything is moving slow
aaahhh you wish you could just go

light is shining eyes can't survive
doors are open, fresh air deep breath
you feel how blod flows again...in your veins
[ bridge ]
freezing cold disappear
and you are free
free for now


aahhh, you are not alone
aahhh, everything is moving slow
aaahhh you wish you could just go

[ instrumental intermezzo, electric guitar solo ]
[ outro ]
now you know
Black light  was just  a dream
[ bridge]
which melted down like a snow

[ instrumental outro ]

Stats - The Family Business

Drama – of the interpersonal kind – that’s what Hajk are about on their upcoming album. The band burst onto the Norwegian scene with their self-titled debut album, garnering broad appreciation way outside of their home country. Now, the highly anticipated follow-up is near – a record that both pulls at the heartstrings and urges you to dance.

Hajk’s 2017 debut received praise from the likes of Astrid S, Sigrid and Kimbra, as well as a united Norwegian music press. Internationally, outlets such as Noisey, Stereogum, Line of Best Fit, Drowned In Sound, The Independent and Clash Music gave the group standing ovations for their idiosyncratic, yet supremely catchy pop tunes, while likening them to everything from Dire Straits and Aztec Camera to Haim. On “Drama” Hajk embrace their urban influences, naming artists such as Solange, Frank Ocean and Thundercat.

With the sophomore album, “Drama”, a more confident band is on display. Sharpened by more studio experience, they have once again produced the record themselves. Blending analogue and digital sounds, switching between programmed arrangements and live takes from the studio, drawing on three lead vocalists and several guest musicians, Hajk has done whatever necessary to fullfill their creative vision. 

The title “Drama” relates to the drama of humanity and a somewhat naïve yearning for love in a world in which love sometimes seems scarce.

It’s been a while since the band recorded the songs for their debut album, and you can hear that they’re eager to get going. This time they are taking the sound of their debut a few notches further. We get the simple but grand ballads and we get the catchy up-tempo pop songs. In short, drama.

How Do We Stay Here? (mp3)

Half Past Nine

My love I'm swimming in space 
between the states and your embrace 
I don't want to replace you 
I need to face you now 

I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here- ahoo
I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here 

My love I remember the days 
cigarette kissing purple rain
us sitting around 
letting records play for hours

I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here- ahoo
I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here 
I just wanna lie here 
I just wanna lie here 

ahhh- ahhh (x's 4)

My love I'm swimming in space 
between the states and your embrace 
I don't want to replace you 
I need to face you now 

I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here- ahoo
I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here 

I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here- ahoo
I just wanna lie with you tonight 
I just wanna lie here
I just wanna lie here 
I just wanna lie here

Just Wanna Lie

My Noel liked Sundays and the paper
And painting in the kitchen
Daytime television

My Noel left a lifetime in the rear view
Now I’m driving without someone to talk to

My Noel and all your spells, you’re all I need
And my someone to talk to in the morning
Walk to in the morning

My Noel left a white sheet in the garden
And her glasses on the mantel
A flicker in the candle

My Noel like a sunbeam looking just right
In the bona fide and beautiful morning light

My Noel and all your spells, you’re all I need
And my someone to talk to in the morning
Walk to in the morning

Noel in the Garden
