✏️ Lyrics
I’ve been drinking Kool-Aid Jammers
Like I did when I was nine
Because I like to pretend
That I haven’t lost the time
In the end the nostalgia
Though it tastes fine
I can only drink a couple
Because it feels like a lie
We’d play Halo
And we’d lay low
In our basements until
The sun began to rise
We would go to school
But not learn too much
Because it’s hard to read
When you’ve got tired eyes
Months go by
The time it flies
Past the days that we drank
Kool-Aid in the summertime
Years go by
The time it flies
Past the days that we drank
Kool-Aid in the summertime
I still got my friends
They’ve been with me for some time
And it's nice to know that they’re
Still by my side
Friends are like stars
Because no matter how far
When it's dark outside
They will be your light
We’d play Halo
And we’d lay low
In our basements until
The sun began to rise
We would go to school
But not learn too much
Because it’s hard to read
When you’ve got tired eyes
Months go by
The time it flies
Past the days that we drank
Kool-Aid in the summertime
Years go by
The time it flies
Past the days that we drank
Kool-Aid in the summertime

Not usually a fan of this style of synthwave (much prefer darksynth or Notaker's style), but the lyrics sent me back to my childhood. And what a trip.

[@admech590]

Yeah I hear yah man, this took me back to when the Golden age of the synthwave revival kicked off. Hotline Miami's soundtrack and NewRetroWave were my favorite things to listen to on KZbin. Especially when studying, it's what gote into edm in the first place.

I was just on Ephixa's sound cloud yesterday checking for new music. FUCKIN BET BRO!! Can't believe I've been listening to him for comming up on 10 years! Thank you for the decade of great music. You literally introduced me to electronic music, then created monstercat with GQ. My life has never been the same, I rep Ephixa and MC merch on a daily.

[@DjEphixa]

I'm flattered but, but it was GQ, darlington and me + some friends that started monstercat.

I bet this is how the collab started lmao! Ephixa: *Listening to buzz lightyear for the first time* "...staying up too late cuz I'm watchin Futurama." Ephixa: ... Bro ... ..

Fun fact about this song: Originally Ephixa was going to make a remix of Half an Orange’s Buzz Lightyear, but after hearing the demo Ephixa sent them, Half an Orange wanted to make an original song with him, and this is the product

[@copyandpaste2052]

But this isn't original. There's a version without ephixa (original)
