Here's a cover I did of the song "Home - Resonance" with a surprise saxophone mashup of "Better off alone" at the end. Hope you enjoy it! Subscribe and follow my Instagram @kestreltapes
Why is everyone assuming nostalgia only applies to the 90s? People were using VHS predominately until the early 2000s because DVD players were so damn expensive before the PS2 was released...
I wasn't born in the 80s but I always find the 80s very fascinating. There is a combination of innocence and romance that make up this era. As if it was a complete package.
I was born in the 80's and I feel the same as you do except for me it's the 70's. I was really little but I remember both of my older brothers and their teenage friends all had long hair, wore denim jackets and were into metal. My four year old brain thought they were so badass like they were the vampires from The Lost Boys or something. Anyway, that's what stands out in my mind about my brief time in the 80's.
@imalizard2113 it's like me with the 90s. I was born in 05 but man, I wish I could've experienced that decade. I would've loved to see first hand the evolution of personal computers and listened to the music as it came out. I guess every generation wishes they were 10 years younger
@The_Car_Pen The 90's were pretty cool as a child. Every big movie that was aimed at kids was a HUGE deal because there was so much less. For like 2 years straight you couldn't get away from The Lion King. It was everywhere. Before that it was Aladdin. Then Jurassic Park and Independence Day. Everything was so much more exciting because our entertainment wasn't oversaturated like it is today and the movies/shows always had a message of hope. I know I sound like a curmudgeon but I really long for the pre internet days. People were more down to earth and there was none of the keyboard warrior mentality bleeding out into the real world. And yeah by the end of the 90's, the computers were nothing like they were at the start of the decade. Our first computer in like 89 or 90 took those old school massive disks and you had to enter like 10 commands to launch each one. In 1996, seeing a 5 second awful quality soundless video on a Mac screen was mind blowing. Sorry for the rant, just feeling nostalgic lately.
The irony is that most music did not sound like this in the 80s, and synthwave was created by people who started kindergarten no earlier than 1990. The internet kind of threw together a meme aesthetic from various modernized interpretations of hyper-specific 80's-ish elements and ran with it. Now this is definitively the 80s aesthetic and sound, no question, regardless of what really was the case. It gives a funny extra meaning to the comment you always see on these videos "memories of a place I've never been".
now the early 00s are going through the same ordeal with the whole Y2K aesthetic. it doesn't look anything like the actual year 2000, but it feels like it.
I thought he meant that Summoningsalt uses this song in his videos about the history of speed runs of old video games and that has caused the connection between this song and people childhoods.
The weird educational tapes we watched in school were like this, though. I remember thinking that they looked seemed way older than they actually were at the time.
a u t h e n t I c v i e w s really did the most with this rollout, got the artist poppin' off in ways they never did before. That promotional strategy was just too fire.
Nostalgia brings such a bittersweet feeling, it’s nice of looks back on the old days but it hurts too. To know you can go back to being a child and doing whatever you enjoyed.
I mean it comes from the greek words for returning home & pain, it was also originally used to describe soldiers who missed home so much that they couldn’t function anymore sooo
@@LasagnaSupreme The thing is, at least from my experience, it's just not the same. :( I think one notable difference is that you don't exactly have the mind of a child the innocence, the lack of knowledge about world problems or problems in general. as a kid we were carefree.
“An arrangement of musical melodies you can’t quite put your finger on. Tones and instruments lost in time. Almost dream-like in nature, but there’s… something more… a distinct saxophone solo you will remember until your dying breath”
so yeah the vcr loading sound and the sax were nostalgic. the way the overall music sounded was..... sort of reminiscent of early/mid 90s... like background music but sans the sax it would just be music
Really can’t thank you and this video enough. I’ve been looking for the nostalgic song at the beginning for almost 6 years, and always started back at square zero. The journey of finding the truly remarkable song is finally over.
Reminds me of one of my favorite words, Anemoia. Anemoia is the feeling of nostalgia, though directed at something that oneself never experienced. I never listened to synth at any point that'd really bring nostalgia, but Resonance still hits hard there. I was never part of the old internet, but I still wish it was still here. Oh how the past haunts us so.
It's literally how the eighties/early nineties sounded. Put on any of the blockbuster comedy/romcom/drama movies. I don't even understand how a kid this age is capable of hearing/doing it so perfectly. It blows my mind.
i honestly wish i could have seen the 90s or 80s its better than my generation now, also i was born in 2009 so i couldnt experience the 2000s either which in my opinion sucks cuz now i have to be in a generation filled with dumbasses
I WAS NOT EXPECTING RESONANCE BUT I LOVE IT! I find it ironic that songs that are supposed to represent nostalgia eventually become nostalgia. How poetic~
Same here, I didn't expect to be reminded of krab bop resonance (that was what introduced me to Resonance- Home. Why yes I am a person of unusual tastes 😅)
Everyone always says that synthwave conveys a feeling of nostalgia, taking you to a time before we were born in our reality. For me, it transports me to another world apart. A reality of my imagining. I'd like to think that it's the future I'm seeing, but it has elements of the past to it. I see it through a filter that distorts, phases and blurs everything. It's not the 90s, or the 80s. It's not the future either. Maybe it's the present, but it's warped, visually and physically (matter and gravity don't behave as expected).
Perhaps you are experiencing distant memories of a past life your soul is carrying but because your brain can’t remember it adds it’s own present imagination to the emotions you are feeling
I’d like to think that he isn’t really playing anything on the saxophone, instead that he is just moving it around and not actually playing anything, that would be funny LOL
@@rogueemu4180 so just record random videos of you playing stuff and then slap some music that seems legit ah nvm i read the thing wrong, i literally read it the other way around
Who had to go back and listen a second time to hear the Better Off Alone cover? Even though I know that song very very very well, the first time I listen to it, I didn’t even realize that’s what it was playing, just random notes on a saxophone is all I thought it was.
@@nejdalej he uses we’re finally landing as his main song, but home resonance is in a lot of his videos, usually while he’s explaining some sort of tech or just the general flow of the run
I've been looking for this exact song for years. I heard it first in a GMTK video years ago, and I've been struggling finding that video again and finding the song. This video resonates nostalgia in such a powerful way for me because of that. This is a song I've been hearing in my head for so long, trying so hard to find, and finally it's here. Thank you.
I used to get sad about time passing, but I know now that I’m creating something nostalgic in this current moment I’ll look back on in the future. I appreciate the present moment, take nothing for granted, and stay happy. You reading this should too.
i feel like i'm back at a small town in 80s out with my mates biking to the nearby forest to the a small tree house we built to chill....and the craziest part about this nostalgia is i was born in 2001
Keyboards and sax are one of the most memorable and awesome instruments and I don’t know why, no but in all seriousness the dust on the keyboard and topped with a sax and low quality video. It makes for a great video.
Well done. Probably the only cover of Resonance that significantly expands on and reinterprets the original track in an interesting way. The Better Off Alone sax interpolation is inspired
