The Zeitgeist of Modern Synthwave: "Woken up by a sharp pain" by The Memory Of Snow

‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ by The Memory Of Snow

A melodic track, its hooks promising to ensnare, dances between synthpop and guitar riffs, a siren’s call we couldn’t resist. We embarked on this auditory journey, where lyrics pulse with raw intensity and emotion. ‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ delivers a message of resilience, survival, and self-worth, an anthem urging defiance against suffering and injustice, a hymn to cherish life.
Symbolically dressed in an '80s outfit, it captures the zeitgeist of modern synthwave, the warm hum of synths entwined with cutting-edge technology. The beat initially caught me off guard and I have had to listen again and again, but it ultimately fits perfectly and convinces me wholeheartedly. The vocals intensify and unfold in the chorus while maintaining their coolness. As the second verse plays, I’m already anticipating the next chorus, ready to be captivated once again.
‘Woken up by a sharp pain’ isn’t just the fourth single from the forthcoming ‘Atlantic’ album; it’s a gift. For '80s enthusiasts and modern synthwave aficionados alike, this is a must-listen, an invitation to discover, to be unswervingly moved. And for curious souls seeking something new, I can only reiterate: definitely give it a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
