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. Oscillating between the realms of Synth-Pop/Rock and New Wave, Armstrong’s transnational work, fluctuating between Spain and Scotland, is expressed in his latest piece, “In the Borderlands.” The song takes us on an introspective journey through the nuances of human relationships, unfolding the complexity of interpersonal dynamics . It exposes these nuances on the operating table of music, bringing them to life with a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 80s, thereby endowing the work with a soul.

Beaches

"We call our songs and ourselves Strange Souvenirs because we collect and compile audio input and inspiration on our travels through the vast world of music. And then we twist it into something strange and special...." stand da und man denkt sich, soll ich auf Play drücken oder nicht, tja, sieht ganz so aus als ob ich es getan habe. 
Und so bin ich jetzt in der glücklichen Lage diesen außergewöhnlichen Song zu präsentieren. Dort wo die Gegenwart auf die Vergangenheit trifft, der Verstand und das Denken des Öfteren den Gefühlen weichen muss, ja dort tauchen Strange Souvenirs ein um uns mit "Beaches" zu beglücken. 
Der Part der Vocals im Mittelpunkt, der Sänger als Protagonist erzählt, interpretiert beinahe sorglos zu sanften Gitarrenklängen. Schlichte Genialität die nicht mehr braucht um den Hörer zu erreichen bzw. gefangen zu nehmen. Es ist diese Unkompliziertheit die diesen Track so besonders macht. 
"Beaches" by Strange Souvenirs definitely more than a simple song, brilliant catched emotions reborn in a timeless melody.
