In this case, "Lady in Red" could represent an old lover who you used to dance with while enjoying each other's company, while "Nobody Here" is the cold emptiness that comes from realizing she's gone from your life and you will never have that intimacy with them again.

[@askele-tonofgaming4878]

I always assumed the "nobody here" meaning "there's nobody else who will get in the way of this moment" as a lot of songs had the moniker of "lovers must find places to be alone to be more amorous" so for "there's nobody here" he is telling the lady in red to simply enjoy the moment between them as something in private when its a public dance.

[@skc-]

@@askele-tonofgaming4878 That's definitely what it represents in the song. Nothing is really thought of it when you just listen to the original song. Yet, when you take it as a single sample and apply the echo and repetition of it over and over again with absolutely nothing else, for me it always transforms into the thought of a more inner and outer desolate approach. So I can see why some people can see this more as relaxing while some see it as rather chilling.

The lyrics for Lady in Red implies the existence of other partygoers. This makes the drop in Nobody Here much more jarring, I think. He not only hallucinated the titular lady, but also the supposed rival men of the party. His psyche is completely off kilter to the point of creating potentially losing scenarios in his own head.

Nobody In Red

[@urdnal]

My mom really liked this song back in the 80s, back when my parents were still in love... The decade and a half following my dad faced financial problems, poor career choices and a couple of heart attacks which made him hopeless, convinced he'd die soon. He turned more and more to alcohol to cope. He lived 20 years after that first heart attack. They stayed together though most would say they shouldn't have. Eventually he got lung cancer and died from heart failure during chemo two years ago, just as my mom's dementia began. At least I'm still here.

[@violetsareb1ue389]

Damn that's rough, I hope you're doing well; I bet you experience with this song very differently than the rest of us, I can't imagine how it hits you compared to me, especially with this video's seamless transition from the hopeful love song to the cold vaporwave remix. I always wondered how vaporwave effects different people; for me personally I was born in 99 and grew up listening to the 80s songs my mom who grew up in the 80s as a teenager would listen to. So vaporwave reminds me of my childhood and is hella nostalgic for me for that reason despite not having grown up in the 80s myself. I wonder how generations like gen alpha and generations after them will react to vaporwave and/or what their relationship with the music genre as a whole will be. Vaporwave is built mostly off of nostalgia, what will the vaporwave of the 2040s and 2050s sound like? Will they still sample songs from the 80s or will the 2000s seem like the 80s to them? The passage of time is crazy, cheers.

@@violetsareb1ue389 well, vaporwave is sort of already transitioning into these PS1/PS2 jungle d&b mixes imo. Still the same internet niche culture, remixing and rebuilding upon childhood nostalgia. There's already a sort of generational gap there too. Still nostalgic for 31 year old me, but it definitely hits diferent from original sunsetcorp vaporwave

[@dimitriyakovic1522]

Christ I can't believe how many times I've listened to this in the last few days since I discovered it. There's nobody here. 😢

[@DirtiestDMusic]

This elevates both Lady in Red and Nobody Here. Lady in Red has always had a reputation as a slice of 80s cheese, but you'd never know from listening to this version.

[@frightfulpath562]

i'll admit to liking this pitch more, it feels more soothing

[@mel299]

I find this potently unnerving. When I listen to it in this arrangement, the original Eccojams piece sounds as though it never resolves, but instead just hangs in the air indefinitely…

[@onebloodypony]

in its own way, and without irony, this might be the most important song during the Hypnagogic pop and vaporwave era with its melodramatic airy synth pads and looped vocals that seamlessly start and begin. when you couple the music with ones memories of the past (especially if you were in a late millineal/born in early 80's late 70s' during when many of the genres samples are taken from) creates an anthem longing for a lost past. Thanks for the upload!

This is so much better than the original, not just because of the vaporwave loop, but the whole song is pitch shifted down, and just sounds so much better. The singer in the original just sounds weird like a chipmunk now that I'm used to this version.

Vaporwave will never die

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

"Vaporwave", while I do love listening to it, is, like so-called "nightcore", pretty much a zero-effort style of music. You take an old 80s track, pitch it down, and loop a section of it - that's literally what 99% of vaporwave consists of (the track in this video clearly had SOME thought put into it though, which is nice). It's also extremely arrogant and pathetic the way the vast majority of vaporwave "musicians" don't credit the original artists at all - if your ENTIRE genre is based ENTIRELY on other people's music, give them the credit they deserve ffs, stop trying to be some mysterious pretentious twat who thinks they're amazingly talented because they know some obscure record; it reminds me of the most obnoxious hip-hop crate diggers like Madlib and DJ Shadow (who I absolutely adore, but also never credits the people he samples, yet again to attain a feeling of superiority from knowing records that others don't). Also, it's really dumb how people act like "Nobody Here"/Oneohtrix Point Never "invented" a genre with vaporwave. People have been pitching down and looping parts of records since the turntable was invented, hell me and my old primary school buddy used to make stuff like this using the most rudimentary software imaginable (DSS DJ, I believe it was called), and we certainly weren't narcissistic or delusional enough to think we were innovating or inventing anything. Vaporwave isn't a genre IMHO - it's more of a remixing "technique" than anything else, just like "nightcore" is literally just the opposite, other people's music pitched-up and sped-up. The only genuine vaporwave musicians were really kosmische, ambient or progressive electronic, such as the aforementioned Oneohtrix Point Never, James Ferraro, and the incredibly talented Vektroid. Again, I'm not saying any of this from a place of contempt. I love anything with this kind of ethereal atmosphere.

“t h e r e ‘ s n o b o d y h e r e”

[@kalvinbaxter6125]

This video/song gives me the kind of feeling I get when I dream in the night of someone who I love, not anyone in particular, usually someone I forget the face of when I wake up but someone who I am attached to emotionally, who also reciprocates the feeling. We are going to the seaside, to theme parks, to parties where we both walk around talking to people before we anchor ourselves to the main room, slow dancing in an embrace so secure, so comforting, one that tells you, I am here, I am always here, you’re safe with me, I love you. I treasure that feeling of loving so intensely, so surely and so it kills me to wake up, getting my bearings becomes a punishment as I am no longer dancing with her, I am laying down, alone, in a small bedroom. That feeling of love and the passion that follows and fuels it becoming a distant memory once again, reducing me back to the unfeeling bastard I have become. Unfeeling that is, except for the sadness and the tears that I want to shed for not being able to remember her, not being able to find her in my memories, and the grasp I once had on the ecstasies of true love becoming limp once more, watching it fly away like the balloon you let go of as a child. Eventually, you find yourself adjusting to life once more and all you can do is play a song that can illicit even a fraction of that emotion and in the meantime, you ready yourself for that dream to occur once more, for that drug to take over and bring her to you again, to get lost in and soothed by that feeling. And you pray that soon, it will no longer be a dream but your reality.

[@AnaQoip]

I get that too sometimes when I dream, I've fallen in love with dream persons more than real ones.. I really want to go back but there was never anyone there. The feeling feels very real though... This song comes close to that

[@kalvinbaxter6125]
