'Back To Me Again' is the debut single on Aztec Records from Berlin-based vocalist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Tommy Countach.
The song is based on a 10 year old guitar recording on his phone. Back then he was on the verge of an aspiring music career, but like ever so often, life got in the way. He lost track of himself, until recently rediscovering this old memo and remembering what used to be so heartfelt and inherent. The new single 'Back To Me Again' deals with just that and finally brings an almost forgotten song idea to light.
Tommy produces all his music in his home studio using classic and modern analog synths; the pads are from a classic Roland JX8P, the bass is a modern Prophet Rev 2. The lead sound is layered between an Oberheim OBX8, a recreation of the iconic OBX from the early 80s and an original Roland D50. This results in a sound that blends between 80s synthpop nostalgia mixed with modern synthwave, mostly inspired by iconic 80s groups like The Outfield, Journey and Roxette.
The single 'Back To Me Again' is the first single of the upcoming album that is scheduled for the end of 2023.

[LYRICS]
I took a weekend off
we tried to stay awake
just to make it last
and all the stories told
bare memories, glad
the days have passed
oh no i lied to myself
oh no that guy, wait,
he’s somebody else
now i play pretend
hope i can forget
girl why don’t you let it go
no more running away
whatever they say
i try to find back to me
again
no more going astray
before its too late
i gotta find back to me
again back to me again
it's been a great night
out
back on my feet, but
still feeling my way
it's time to take that
smile off
scrolling through my
phone, it's getting late
oh no i lied to myself
oh no i tried to be
somebody else
wish that i could stay
they liked me better
that way
girl why don’t you let it
go
no more running away
whatever they say
i try to find back to me
again
no more going astray
before its too late
i gotta find back to me
again
back to me again
back to me again
