Dream of Summer (shoegaze, dreampop, grunge, post-punk etc)

Kundalini Express [Love and Rockets cover]

These lyrics tell the story of a girl named Bonnie who used to have big dreams and a bright, shining spirit but lost her way after going through tough times and heartbreak. The repeated line, "Oh Bonnie, where did you go?" shows the sadness and longing for the person she used to be. Bonnie was once full of light, "shining like the sun," but now she's just a shadow of her former self. The song is a mix of remembering who she was and hoping that she can find her way back and bring that light back into the world. Fans of Teenage Fanclub, The Lemonheads, Big Star, and The Posies will recognize the blend of jangly guitars, emotional storytelling, and melodic indie rock influences that define this track.

Bonnie was a girl with stars in her eyes
She dreamt of flying high in big blue skies
But life had a way of bringing her down
Till she forgot the girl that used to be found

Oh Bonnie, where did you go?
Don't you remember the dreams that we know?
You used to shine like the sun in the sky
Now you're just a shadow passing us by

Bonnie loved with all her heart, but it was in vain,
Her dreams shattered by love's cruel game,
Now she walks alone, lost and in pain,
Hoping one day, her heart will find love again.

Oh Bonnie, where did you go?
Don't you remember the dreams that we know?
You used to shine like the sun in the sky
Now you're just a shadow passing us by

Bonnie, come back to us, we need you now
The world's a little darker without your light around

"Bonnie" Written and performed by Northern Sky

Summer Holiday Soundtrack Mixtape (dreampop, indie, alternative, punk, jangle-pop)

From the archives. In late 1993 a bunch of close friends decided to found a band just for fun. We became instant local heroes but never tried to reach a wider audience. We gave a shit on everything and for six long years in the 90s we lived a life like it's 1972. Power time with cranked amps and all those things Ian Dury once sang about Wild, free, not innocent. I've restored some of the old tracks, maybe some people will like it again. Dedicated to HP Brunner R.I.P. Apart from that dirty rock thing we also had deep likes for Yo La Tengo and Velvet Underground, mostly reflected in this song.

An unmixed downbeat track from the next Goodbye Wudaokou album - possibly the last track and doesn't sound like anything else on the album. Not a single :)

Recorded the last weekend in March 2025, before feeling fluey and miserable.

Indie, dream pop etc. artist from Manchester, England

Soundtracking scenes we make up with songs we like. First and third Thursday of the month on n10.as

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

Im going to be moving some things around soon so tracks might disappear

i think ill probably keep the 'my grey leaving' ambient-shoegaze stuff here and move the other demos and random stuff (as bin/thorn) over to Nina as it has unlimited upload space, and has free streaming
