Timecop1983 - It was only a Dream

[@tennesseehomesteader6175]

I was a freshman in high school in 1983. I'm 50 years old now and still love this type of music that was around back then. So much has changed since then the world is a different place now, but the feel of this music takes me back... That's why I'm here listening to this!

[@tastylemons7907]

Synthwave (what this is), is inspired by 80s synth music - the “vintage” part. 80s synth music was inspired by the Sci-Fi genre - the “futuristic” part. However, I’m not too sure if I’m correct but I believe it is something along the lines of what I have just said.

[@erichkaufmann5284]

I remember being a teen in the 80’s. Just remembering it hurts, the nostalgia hurts the most. I remember driving past the Kremlin and seeing the Soviet flag flying, I remember buying cigarettes out of vending machines and climbing buildings all over Moscow with my friends. In 1990 it all really ended for me, I got in car crash my girlfriend died in my arms a year later are nation was destroyed I had no place, no hope, love on hate.

[@africareigns]

On 31st December 1989, I felt so melancholy for leaving the 80s behind. I'm glad I was a teen then. I'm now 52. The 80s will forever be my favourite decade.

[@AmericanWacko7]

Synthwave is like the sound of both the future and the past in a dystopian world where people cling to when times were better without realizing the times they turn to set in motion their dystopia. It's musical genius

[@TheGooseman14]

You are on a lonely island, just by the edge of a small wood cabin facing the sea. You're with a gorgeous, kind and perfect woman, laying on your shoulder. You hear the calm sea rushing to the sand, and admire a mesmerizing sunset on the horizon. Everything seems like paradise, and you dont even question yourself how you got here, you're just enjoying a moment of pure joy. Then you begin to hear some strange loud noises, and rains against a roof, even if there isnt a single cloud outside. Suddenly, everything is collapsing: the sky is turning black, the shore is disappearing. In a moment of fear you grab the woman hand, and she starts looking at you, as everything around you is vanishing. She asks you, "are you okay ?" As her face fades away. "Where am I ? Who is this girl ? I cant remember her name... Do I really know her ?" But you already know you cant answer these questions, because you're slowly getting awake, woke up by the rain tapping the windows, alone in your dark bedroom, with a weird feeling of mixed love and regret, for a world existing only in a dream of yours..
