What if my song World of Fantasy was written in the 80s? Not my usual style. An experiment with some synths. Gonna hit you right in the nostalgia.

World Of Fantasy《80s Synthwave Version》

CAFÉ BEAU SOIR

Time’s dragging on
I can’t stop flitting room to room
Scrolling through my phone every five
Shuffling the tarot for signs

My mind’s spinning
It’s been a while since I’ve felt this shy
I wanna see you again
How do I see you again

Da-dan-da-dan-da-dan-da
Da-da-da
Da-dan-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da
Da-dan-da-dan-da-dan-da
Da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da!

That someone catches your eye as you’re walking on by
Now you’re dreaming and dreaming tonight
Wondering if they wanna see you
The way you really shine

You wanna meet them at that 
Cafe Beau Soir, Cafe Beau Soir
One beautiful evening to try
To get to know their coffee dark eyes

It’s a bad habit of mine
I worry ahead of the finish line
And it’s always stung me before
The thrill and then the fall

I’m thinking too much
No one should be thinking that much
Think I’m high on the thought 
of those coffee eyes

But what if what if what if what if what if
I just play it cool
What if what if what if that someone 
Thinks I’m pretty too 

And I'll be catching their eye as I’m walking on by
'cause I’m smiling and smiling so bright
Knowing that someone can see me
The way I really shine

They can meet me at that 
Cafe Beau Soir, Cafe Beau Soir
One beautiful evening to try
To get to know my mocha brown eyes

You make me feel like a symphony drip
Like my brain’s made of butterflies
God, I gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta chill.

It’s a flip of the coin
You could like me or ghost me
But I’d be a fool to just hide
And keep wond’ring bout those coffee dark eyes.

Won’t you meet me at the
Cafe Beau Soir, Cafe Beau Soir
Cafe Beau Soir, Beau Soir?
I just wanna get to know you 
Behind your coffee dark eyes :)

Reminiscence

Tze ("Zee") is a whimsical bookish soprano, born from the island-town of Penang. She combines her love of classical, jazz, pop and cinema (100% Ghibli girl) to speak to matters of the heart, fictional musings, and identity as an Asian woman finding her wings in North America.
