How will we live in 2020 in a world facing a major crisis?
This is an ambitious work with a strong message of moving forward with facing the sorrows and prayers of the people.
This song is full of euphoria, with a sound reminiscent of 80s electro-pop and synthwave, with the addition of chill elements and a pop music feel.
Up-and-coming soundmaker "pavilion xool", who has collaborated with various artists including SIRUP, participated as a the mixing/mastering/sound-making engineer.
It's a simple message, "just feel it", that is thrown into a world rapidly expanding and increasingly complex today. A new-age anthem that encourages people to take the first steps and raise the banner for those who are thinking about their problems.
