Hey everyone!
This track, Asteroids (The Original Was Better), started when I heard Beating Edge’s chiptune tune RND and got inspired to write some lyrics about the classic arcade game Asteroids. I added my acoustic guitar and vocals on top and sent it over to the band.
They liked it so much they decided to jump in and make a second part with a more rock vibe using the same musical base. We put both parts together into one track, starting with a fun spoken intro, a little vocal line to bridge the two sections, and finishing off with a hilarious outro.
It was a really cool collab and I’m stoked for you all to hear it!

Lyrics:

[Spoken Intro]
Joe: Wow! This is a really cool Arcade!
Tom: Yeah!
Joe: Hey, check it out! Is that an Asteroids game over there?
Tom: Oh, wow!
Joe: I haven't seen that in like that forever!
Tom: That's definitely Asteroids! Let's play a game!
Mary (with a sore throat 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣): Oh yeah! Let's play Asteroids!

-->Joe

I used to play asteroids in the 1980’s
I liked to blow up rocks in outer space
The flying saucers would attack me
At an ever-increasing pace

I stumbled across an old vintage arcade the other day
I hadn’t played Asteroids in a long time
I popped a quarter into that old machine
And I watched my score start to climb

I watched my score start to climb
I watched my score start to climb
I watched my score start to climb

Time goes by so quickly
and playing that game really took me back
To those days when my future was unwritten
And I hadn’t gone so far down my current track

Pushing those buttons so fast and furiously
Standing in front of that arcade machine
Blowing up all those asteroids
On that black and white video screen

Blowing up all those asteroids
On that video screen
Blowing up all those asteroids
On that video screen

For a couple of minutes, I forgot about the present
I was back floating in outer space
Breaking big rocks into small rocks
I had a a big smile on my face

And then it was time for me to go
Cause I had errands that I needed to run
But that old video game
I sure had a lot of fun

It's not over yet

-->Tom

Just a single screen, all black and white
The whole room's dark except the TV's light
Rotate and thrust, it wasn't much
No one had seen a thing like this before

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

We used to play all day, late at night
For the high score, it was do or die
No one knew what a quarter was worth
No one knew what the future had in store

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

The original was better
The original was better
The original was better
The original was better

Now there's a 3D holographic thing
That no one plays, 'cause nobody can afford
With a visor on, your body's gone
It's kinda fun, but the original was better

[Spoken Outro]
Someone who wants to stay anonymous 😂: That was a lot of fun!

A simple and brief acoustic guitar recording against a backdrop of a rain shower. I felt this captured a moment of prayer in the natural beauty of an early morning. Lo-Fi off my iPhone voice memos but something I felt was worth keeping.

Nightsorrow unveils “Fading Lights (advance single from the upcoming album)”.
This track marks a new step in the project’s dreamgaze sound: whispered vocals dissolving into walls of reverb, rising delicately into head voice at the chorus. A mantra of echoes and haze, Fading Lights is both intimate and expansive, hinting at the atmosphere of the full-length album to come.

Nightsorrow presenta “Fading Lights (adelanto del próximo álbum)”.
Un viaje dreamgaze donde la voz susurrada se mezcla con head voice etérea, anticipando el clima del álbum completo.

Moi je t’ai refusé ta danse
Je n’y voyais pas d’importance
Parfois j’ai cette tristesse immense
Car je t’ai aujourd’hui perdue
je t’ai maintenant perdue


Mais lorsque j’étais avec toi
Vraiment tu ne m’entendais pas
Pourtant j’aurais tellement voulu
Et je t’ai maintenant perdue
je t’ai maintenant perdue


Entre nous deux l’amertume
Avait bien su trouvé sa place
Moi J’n’ai pas trouvé le chemin
Qui menait à nous comprendre
Je t’ai maintenant perdue


Ce qui devait nous réunir
Aurait pu tout deux nous détruire
J’ai dû rompre  le lien pour vivre
Mais je t’ai maintenant perdue
je t’ai maintenant perdue


Oui je t’ai refusé ta danse
Je n’y voyais pas d’importance
Parfois j’ai cette tristesse immense
Car je t’ai maintenant perdue
je t’ai maintenant perdue

When i'm not playing video games....
...i listen to and create Music.
I get into everything: Abba to Zappa...Grindcore to Gershwin...Nine Inch Nails to Nina Simone...Mike Oldfield to My Bloody Valentine to Miles Davis
  I LIKE MUSIC....composing and listening   😎
For the record: I am a keyboardist and sometimes drummer. About 90% of  the keyboard work is me actually playing a Yamaha Midi keyboard. Now you know...
