Essenger - Downfall (feat. Lexi Norton)

[@Indigo_Gaming]

My absolute favorite part is at 2:50, where she says "I hate the way", and the distant echo of Essenger's voice says "I love the way". Something about it just perfectly captures that love/hate dichotomy of being in a trying relationship.

[@guyvleugels8507]

PS... Became a fan of Essenger after watching your excellent Cyberpunk documentaries. As a big Cyberpunk fan I've rewatched them multiple times. Thanks.

[@DigitalDNA]

It's not that deep dude.

[@Dmytro-Shcherbyna]

5 years I'm into synthwave and still finding hidden gems like this, and I think this is wonderful

[@anbecharts]

Filthy and elegant at the same time. It all floats very well together. Beautifully written, composed and produced.

[@TheLandof420]

You're Projecting Your Filth.

[@JIMHusky]

I didn't see the signs Thought I'd found a way out You caught me with those eyes I'm thinkin' I should leave now A couple words won't hurt "So what'you doin downtown?" You tell me how you've been And now my head won't slow down I shouldn't stay But can't help but wonder I hate the way (I love the way) That you pull me under I know I've made mistakes But this could be my downfall You could be my downfall You could be my downfall I didn't mean to stare Couldn't help but notice A part of me still cares But it's over and you know this I shouldn't feel this way You're fuckin' with my head now A couple drinks too late You got me thinking out loud I shouldn't stay (I shouldn't stay) But can't help but wonder I hate the way (I love the way) That you pull me under I know I've made mistakes But this could be my downfall You can be my downfall You could be my downfall Don't try to tell me this is nothing Say it with your hands on my face Don't try to tell me this is nothing I can count the reasons with my eyes closed Calling out your name I'll find a reason with my eyes closed (But I know that you'll come back to haunt me) And you can be my downfall (You can be my downfall) I shouldn't stay But can't help but wonder I hate the way (I love the way) That you pull me under I know I've made mistakes But this could be my downfall You could be my downfall

Technically, you're 0th, as any programmer will tell you. 😋

[@lceedarky3319]

bruh

[@RedBonkleMan8534]

This gives me the feeling of running into a former lover, the one that broke you. You know in your mind that you should stay free and clear of them, but in your heart you can’t deny or run from those deep rooted and hidden feelings that say you want to be with them again. Especially when you know it won’t end well, just like last time.

[@wheeliebin18]

Came here from Empire of Steel, which quickly became a favourite of my sister and I.... another great track. You're always on our running playlists.

[@NoctLightCloud]

same, Empire of Steel brought me here!

[@SynthwavelLover]

Addicted to Essenger now. Really sick upcoming artist surprised I didn't find him sooner

[@TheColossus100]

Empire of steel is amazing

[@NoctLightCloud]

I'm still addicted to this song. I listen to it regularly, it's so good. Both voices and the composition!

[@nightoftune]

I always liked your voice and lexi's but there is something about the bridge that really gets me. imagine this song as an outro of a cyberpunkish movie... gold

[@NiNja10Doh]

My favorite part about life is when I find amazing music like this. This Is why I wake up in the morning.

[@JoSaunders]

So so good. Grateful to have discovered you, thanks to The Midnight.

[@АодаВтап]

Не снимаю с повтора. Очень круто! Мой любимый момент на 4:32

[@mikhailalekperov5139]

Lexi and Essenger. Collaboration of a dream, this is just perfect.

[@outkastsebastian6024]

Found you from klayton scandroid -empire of steel,youre hidden gem! Wish you the very best in future !

[@CapsLachRS]

came for the bionicle memes ; stayed for the music

[@ednarayan2931]

This track right here is the reason they got loop on YT...

[@BestAuntieEver]

Easily my new favorite song. ❤🔥

[@SalvatoreANapoli]

Oh my days the vocals are amazing

[@sunblooom]

Damnnnn. So amazing! that switch at 2:50 is just amazing

[@Pattorihanzo]

Something about your music really speaks to me. I shared this with all of my friends and coworkers. I think you have at least another ten followers just from my conversations with them. They LOVE your music!

[@Essenger]

bless ♡♡♡

[@ОлегМарин-у4ц]

Очень крутой трек!!! И офигенный альбом!! Cool!)

[@Th3BigBoy]

Điều này thực sự nắm bắt được cảm xúc của một mối quan hệ mãnh liệt.

[@shinchintai7]

I discovered you through this song on my discover weekly on Spotify, and man, I fell in deep love. I started listening to a lot of other songs and honestly not a single one of them is bad...They're all so beautiful and truly artistic pieces. You deserve a lot more fame and notice because all of these songs are just so ethereal...

[@alexandredias755]

Synthwave does not target large crowds

[@Miss_Nina.]

*Yayy a notification from my hero* 😍 I love it man! Your voice is really wonderful and I just love the combination with the music. It's soo unique! Absolutely awesome Essenger 🎶💙 you really made my day! This was absolutely what I needed after studying for hours ☺️ you're the best! Also shout out to Lexi, her voice is really good and relaxing :D Much love x ☺️🤗💙 Btw, I'd like to hear an individual version of this song of you! You both are reaaally awesome singers, but I think a version with only your voice would be really great too!

[@Essenger]

thank you

[@ScottJackson117]

Oh man, I love this! Awesome work! (If this isnt in cyberpunk2077.....)

[@nilljlam]

I found you on Mr. suicidesheep's channel then another music channel. Dude, its crazy how you have such amazing tracks but haven't blown up yet. Can't wait til you do, you more than deserve it.

[@eyjey8857]

this is the best thing I've ever heard wow you impress me with every song you take

[@ShingenNolaan]

Damn, this is awesome. I'll never thank enough YT algorithm that forced "Tech-noir' from Gunship into my main screen, cause I'd never find this gem.

[@igorkartashov9463]

One of my favorite!

[@MizuRino]

Awesome synthwawe!

[@andyelliott4938]

😍😍😍😍😍😳😳😳😳😳❣I can't think of the best positive word to describe this ...........just wow

[@Essenger]

[@Kywu]

I love pretty much everything about beside one thing is that after the small drop of the line "downfall" i don't like much sequence of the music part there, that's my only grip with it, love your work tho !

[@Bluedragon2513]

omg, the answer was in my face. She's Lexi Norton, and on her Instagram, she says she sings songs for Echos. How did I not realize her voice when it's so unique like she's either holding her voice back or singing with a tongue curved like a w

[@vilaintrolltrollinsky8007]

Nice song, you sound way better tans the thousands synhtwave copycats. Might sound great with instruments like Organs, bass, clarillon, tubular bells and glockenspiel.
