It is easy to feel like something is wrong because your today doesn’t feel like it should. Your memories fool you into believing you used to be a better and happier person, but the truth is, you’ll look back on these same times with the same lens in the future. There are things you appreciate now that may be different than last summer, but will mean just as much; songs you just discovered, friends you have just made, new sights you are just now seeing. They are worth celebration, too. Everything is still changing. The belonging you seek is not behind you, it is ahead.
lyrics
look up
be careful
don’t let memory own you
as the voice in your head begs you
take me to that summer time
one day
you’ll wake up
and it will come back to you
fight back and you will come through
you will feel the sun shine
let’s take a ride on time
summer wasn’t all i thought that it would be for me
it was that memory
we’re still alive this time
someone will hear our voice
and take with it hope, and smile
so look ahead
know it will arrive on time

I've been playing this any chance I get to visit the beach for years since I found the album around 2016. It always makes it feel like a second home in a way. Thanks for all the memories octo_skull

When Spotify recommended this album to me, I didn't know what to expect. Definitely not awesome chiptune bops, but that was what I got! Fans of the genre should definitely check this out! c: LoveliLiya
