Song of the Day: Love On Me (CID Remix) – Galantis & Hook N Sling

By 20-somethinglife | June 7, 2018

CID remixed the collaboration between Galantis and Hook N Sling “Love On Me” back in 2016 but it’s such a catchy, upbeat tune that we wanted to make sure you’ve heard it. It’s bouncy chorus synths are perfect for when you’re relaxing by the pool or by the beach/lake this summer.

As a side note, if you ever get the opportunity to see Galantis live, definitely see them. As far as live sets go, they put on an amazing show and put everyone in the crowd in a great mood by the end of it.

Song of the Day: Where Would We Be – ROZES & Nicky Romero

By 20-somethinglife | May 31, 2018

ROZES teamed up with Nicky Romero to put out a catchy “Closer”-feel type track, complete with snaps and a minimalistic chord driven melody. It’s a formula that works well and allows ROZES lyrics to shine through, which is clearly the point.

It’s also worth checking out Nicky Romero’s edit of his own collaboration. It’s much more up-tempo and gives the song more depth moving from a beautiful piano line into buzzy chorus synths.

“Where Would We Be” Lyrics:

Been a minute since high school
And I still kinda miss you (ah)
Is it weird that I do, that I do?
Are you still in your basement
Smoking weed with the same friends?
Just living for the weekend
Like we used to

Up all night, mattress on the floor
Wasting time, Nintendo 64
Shouldn’t think about it anymore, anymore

Where would we be
If we were still passed out on your sofa, watchin’ TV?
And it was still my head on your shoulder
Where would we be if in another lifetime
I didn’t move to California for the limelight?
I wouldn’t have to wonder what it would’ve been like
If we’da only fucking got it right the first time

Where would we be?
Where would we be?

And I know I shouldn’t reminisce
I’ve been drinking and I miss my accomplice
I know it’s late
Different time zones, different states
But I bet you’re still

Up all night, mattress on the floor
Wasting time, Nintendo 64
Shouldn’t think about it anymore, anymore

Where would we be?
Where would we be?

If we never went home
Stayed out still stoned
If the sun never rose
We’d still be close
But that’s not how it goes
Same song gets old
When you’re living for, when your living for the weekend (living for the weekend)
Just living for the weekend

Where would we be?
Where would we be?

Where would we be?

Song of the Day: Horizon – Seven Lions, Tritonal & Kill The Noise

By 20-somethinglife | May 18, 2018

“Horizon”, a collaboration between Seven Lions, Tritonal, and Kill The Noise has been released and it is quite the interesting track. Listening through, it’s easy to pick out which act influenced each particular section. For example, the minimalistic breakdown after the first chorus seems to be where Kill The Noise put his stamp on the track as that’s neither a Seven Lions or Tritonal type sound. There seems to be less of a Tritonal influence on this song, given its melodic bass pace that is more true to Seven Lions, but we’re sure Tritonal made their impact melodically and with how the vocals by HALIENE are worked in. Take a listen!

Ryse Radio Avicii Tribute

By 20-somethinglife | May 18, 2018

It’s been almost a month size Avicii’s death and it was clear from the outpouring of support around the world just how many people he touched with his music. Tim was an innovator and is of the main reasons why dance music is now mainstream.

This tribute mix starts with some of Avicii’s earlier sounds which many people may not be familiar with and shows how he evolved his style over time. The mix isn’t perfectly chronological, but it gives a good enough idea of his earlier versus later styles.

It’s interesting how people feel when they listen to his songs now. Some say that it makes them feel melancholy and that it’s hard to listen without thinking about the internal conflict that Tim was dealing with. Others said that it his music still brings them the same joy it always has. For me, I do feel the sadness of knowing he’s gone, but I still get the same goosebumps I always have when “Levels” comes on. Tim’s music will let him live on, and knowing that is comforting.

Song of the Day: Happy Ending – Joe Garston

By 20-somethinglife | May 15, 2018

Joe Garston is not very well known but has put out a few great, under the radar tracks over the years. Our favorite is “Happy Ending” featuring vocals from Andrew Farr. Joe’s synths are uniquely his and the structure of “Happy Ending” is where they are really able to shine. It’s a fairly simple song, but its simplicity is what makes it so fantastic. In case you missed this one a few years ago, now is the time to check it out.

Lyrics:

And I’m always
Watching you
All those younger days
I was watching you

And I can’t breathe
When I’m close to you
And I don’t see
Anybody else when I’m holding you
