Neil Armstrong’s ‘In the Borderlands’: A Nostalgic Journey Through Love and Loss

“In the Borderlands” by Neil Armstrong Neil Armstrong steps onto our blog stage for the first time as an artist. His music pays tribute to the icons of the 80s, including The Cure, Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, and Howard Jones.

Lemonade

Geschrieben und produziert von Josh Collins, "Lemonade" die aktuelle Single, da haben wir wieder feinste Lyrics gepaart mit Akustikgitarrensound pur. Richtig vermutet, wir sind im Singer-Songwriter Genre angekommen. Ein wenig an Jack Johnson erinnernd, lädt uns Josh ein über den vergangenen Sommer nachzudenken oder generell über das Leben, zumindest stellen wir fest das an einem heißen Sommertag nichts besser ist als ein Glass Limonade, es sind doch die einfachen Dinge die zählen oder einem das Leben versüßen. Wie immer wird auf großes Schnickschnack verzichtet, verzichtet um den Lyrics Platz zu machen bzw. zu lassen, fast schon "Collins-esque" könnt man sagen oder es nennen, der Text ist vielmehr, wird zu Musik. Heute präsentieren wir die Single und nächste Woche das dazugehörige Video.
