about

Tommy Countach's new single Clouds is a fast and uplifting retrowave anthem about chasing your dreams, failing and getting back up again. It centers the question whether staying in a safe job or taking the risk on a bumpy road through clouds of uncertainties.

The song was produced in Tommy's home studio in Berlin using only analog synthesizers such as an Oberheim OBX8, Roland JX8P, Novation Peak and a DSI Prophet to create an organic, lush and warm soundscape. This mix of vintage and modern synthesizers is mirrored in the production style that unifies typical 80s sounds in a contemporary surrounding, sonically comparable with artists like The Naked And Famous, NINA or Dagny.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

I've been stranded for too long
I'm tired
I pull my head out of the clouds
And fight it
My hopes and dreams led me astray
I'm alone
Maybe it wasn't meant to be an easy way
I'm gone

I don't wanna hope anymore
I don't have the strength to ignore
I don't wanna lose myself into the open waters
Oh oh

I'm staying awake all night to the rhythm
I'm pushing myself further to the limit
I ditch what has caught me up in the middle
That won't work for me
Money and certainty
No that won't work on me

No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me

When no more tears are left to cry
Start over
I missed myself for quite some time
Won't you come closer

I don't wanna hold back no more
I don't have the gift to ignore
I don't want a paved way that leads into sedation

I'm staying awake all night to the rhythm
I'm pushing myself further to the limit
I ditch what has caught me up in the middle
That won't work for me
Money and certainty
No that won't work on me

No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me

I'm staying awake all night to the rhythm
I'm pushing myself further to the limit
I ditch what has caught me up in the middle
That won't work for me
Money and certainty
No that won't work on me

No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
No that won't work on me
