Dreamy Synthwave Music: “You Told Me” – Upbeat & Retro

“You Told Me” took shape in February 2021. At that time, life in Norway felt restricted for many. Consequently, I found myself drawn to creating an escape. This track became my sonic to escape from reality, a venture into a more vibrant mental space. I aimed for an undeniably “innocent,” catchy, and upbeat feel. It was a deliberate contrast to the uncertainty around us.

This track unfolds as a dreamy synthwave journey. It carries a retro spirit and an uplifting energy that still resonates. I picture neon-lit nights and shimmering cityscapes as the lush synthesizer melody takes the lead. Furthermore, funky basslines ground the track and provide a comforting groove. Crisp electronic drums maintain a steady pulse at 125 BPM. Moreover, subtle piano touches weave in and out, adding a gentle sophistication in the key of E♭ major. For me, “You Told Me” reflects a longing for something more, a creative outlet born from the increased time at home and a yearning for brighter feelings. It also carries a hint of 80s nostalgia, perhaps a comforting step back to a seemingly simpler time.
