sorrynofocus At first, I gave pause to this one. But, after the "Synthwave Marionette " I gave this another chance. It totally fits rather well on the ears. Another choon to write to, or perhaps sit back... and think...

Hoping for love, but fantasy A merry go round is what it seems Jack isn’t nimble, Jack isn’t quick Always falling over dimming candlesticks A spreading nothing, consuming dreams Knocked me out fantasia so suddenly, no Uh-oh, uh-oh, Drawn into it again You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, You set me up All that I can, is never enough Never know the side you’re waking up on Nine lives lost, but you vow it’s three Always shifting the position so eloquently Fuel up the fire or lest be dead Swimming in elegy over my head Uh-oh, uh-oh, Drawn into it again You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, You set me up Drawn into it again You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool When you pull the strings You set it up, I fell right in And I’m played like a fool While you pull the strings You set it up, You set me up

about

Featuring vocals from Alexis Dimitriou of “Lost in Wonderland” and backing vocals from Nick Jones, this song is sure to please the ears. The single is packaged in 3 different versions with each genre being personified as a different marionette.

Retrowave Marionette
This version is all about mimicking the styles made popular in the original 80s boom period as closely as possible. Similar sounds can be heard from artists Freeweights and Forêt De Vin.

Synthwave Marionette
This version draws inspiration from 1980s films, video games, and cartoons. Synthwave has been used in the highly popular soundtracks of films such as Drive, Tron: Legacy, and the Netflix series Stranger Things. Think “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd and songs by Dua Lipa.

Darkwave Marionette
This version is characterized by minor key tonality, dark, bleak, and with undertones of sorrow. Bending Grid collaborated with Synth Lovers Cafe to produce this darker side of the Marionettes single.
