Wish I hadn't just discovered this

[@JoseGonzalez-wv7ye]

Zane this is a beautiful song👍

[@lukasg7464]

Sweet, I am a big fan of those constant background basslines

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thanks Lukas! Being a lover of Synthwave and the GTA in-game soundtracks, I've hoped to make them a staple in my sound!

[@lukasg7464]

Now that you mention it, I can hear a bit of Yeasayer's "Don't come close" in there

[@Kopesy]

Me too

[@Sequence06]

@@ZaneAlexanderNC I knew this had something to do with GTA V I really hope Rockstar reaches out to you soon

[@Sequence06]

I'm still listening to this a year and half after I began to listen to it You know shit is real when something like that happens

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Just wanted to let you guys know: This track is available on my recently released album "A Time Like This". It is available on the major streaming sites, but only the Bandcamp link contains the bonus materials! Link: zanealexander.bandcamp.com/album/a-time-like-this

[@vigneshsivakumar2128]

25 seconds into the track and i already have liked the video . Good one !!!!

[@MaJaK_ZDW]

Man, this track helped me to get through some tough situation I have been recently. I listened some 24h streaming channel on YT when this one hitted. And it hitted way different then others. Cannot explain in words how it change my mindstate on this time. Thank you!

[@CaleebTalib]

That's is really beautiful. The bass melody with the haunting atmosphere voice sample is pure bliss

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Pedro Maranhão thank you so much! Happy that you enjoy it!

[@cryptocomeback]

You know a song good when it feels like it's 1:30 in length but actually over 4. Nice work, awesome effort here.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Haha, thank you Chris! I hope it has alot of replay value for those that enjoy!

[@MarloweLucianoAR]

[@Grimsikk]

Everything about this track is perfect.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Grimsikk Thank you, I was hoping to create that kind of "false peace" vibe!

[@sebbyh9764]

Only getting into synthwave now, long time trance listener.. this brings the feels

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thanks Sebby!

[@omarkhanlilcurry]

I really like this !! It reminds me of a spy movie. Someone getting ready for a mission in a big neon city

[@sealofapproval5598]

I can't stop listening to your music! You have put me in a trance o' magical musical druid man!

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

thank you for the Seal of Approval!

[@parkpon.]

Woa what a tune

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Beautiful music. Thank you again.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thank you Josiah

[@Diesirae77]

Long time listening to your vibes, love them.

[@threeio9951]

The reverb is very nice :)

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thanks THREEIO I was fairly generous with it on this track :D

[@d.j.p.g.b.9662]

Okay before I give my regular "good job" opinion let me just say I'm about to load you with tons of comments so get ready. This track to me I find to be much more unique to the others. It's something I imagine to see in a gritty origin story of some hero or something along those. I love the dark build at the beginning and the synth (or sound similar to synth because idk instruments lmao) is really good. I love how that although the track is somewhat simple it really draws you in. It's a nice track that is as you said is dark. You definitely tried something a bit new with this and I would love to see more in the future. And as I always say, keep it up

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Awesome analysis Blondie! Thank you! I was hoping to go for a sound where it's dark and although there's a glimmer of hope, it still feels hopeless. I will definitely do more like this!

[@Mechanb]

It's like a funky BoC mix. Excited to just have gotten a taste of this tune. Keep it up!!

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thank you! Happy you enjoyed it!

[@mithleshprasad3066]

Its still the best in 2020! Yup Zane keep it up!!!!🤘

[@babasrj1816]

Neatly produced...great job

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

thank you

[@GoldenGrub]

Good shit man

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thanks!

[@zXaIeXz]

This track is more "mature" than your other tracks. It sounds more serious, a bit melancholic, grown up and yet with a subtle scent of an uplifting feeling.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Love the analysis - I definitely know what you mean when the tone of a track is serious. That's what I hope to convey in these kinda tracks for late night driving. To create intense focus on long drives.

[@NightMourningDove]

It's like when you start getting to the harder levels in a game, or harder places in life, but you remain hopeful... 👍

[@kp1531]

Think that's why he labeled it "dark synthwave". Definitely supplies that melancholy.

[@trashcult-sp6xm]

why this slaps so hard🏞🌄

[@VanskoBOOMER]

perfect

[@quiele7014]

now the best song for me.. nice.

Very nice man

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thank you

[@matdollars]

This music is exactly a style like that that we are looking to accompany our Facebook ads that will be broadcast in France. If we quote you and make you validate can we use your music? Thank you and continued like this ...

[@MK.1.]

This would compliment and go so well with a black sambuca advert. Watching that blueish black flame smouldering before a vaporwave sexy woman, brings it up to her full red lips and drinks it back slowly.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thank you - I can see that! Simple, yet effective!

[@Raccccs]

SOOOOO fucking underrated

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

I appreciate your support!

[@Raccccs]

@@ZaneAlexanderNC Dude I've been listening to your music seriously non stop for the last week it's amazing, I really like your more dark and low pitched music

[@babasrj1816]

Could this track get any better!!

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Haha, I wish it could. I did the best I could at the time. Thank you so much for listening!

[@davidjudd7146]

Nice Synthwave tune. New fan. If you haven't already, you should send this track to New Retro Wave, the a synthwave channel.

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Thank you David, and welcome! About NRW - this tune wouldn't fit, but I have an unreleased track that might

[@Muckytuja]

Still hit so hard. I will neve rbe able to disintegrate this song from the suicide of my best friend. I come back to remember and I get pain yet I don't care. I just want to remember the good times nad this kills me, but I don't care, Even if it hurts so bad I just want to remember him so he will be alive for that time. You stupid bastard, you selfish prick, I hope you were right and there is nothing after we die.

[@ENApunktSE]

Your music is fantastic!!! On Spotify when? Also, If I want to use your music, how? I credit you 100%

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

I have one album on Spotify - I plan on just putting finished products on iTunes, Spotify, etc. And yes, you may use anything of mine, I just ask that you credit me by (Name - Song Title) so people can find the song when they search for it.

[@ENApunktSE]

=) We run the commercial on Facebook and Instagram. Going to be 4 -5 different videos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3m8i5WJgtOAp5Y

[@Merk-Legend]

What is the soundpack for those "ahhh" sounds you use in your songs?

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

None. I just rip vocals or record my own, run them together/stack them, and apply filters til I get the right sound. I'm putting together a soundpack though.

[@Merk-Legend]

That would be amazing - found you through Electronic Gems from "At Dusk"

[@kastriotposhka]
