about

Many times in life we settle for less. We grab hold of something we think is pleasurable, finding out later that we could have had something better. Why do we reach for synthetic light, when we could have the power of the sun?

lyrics

Chorus:
Synthetic light is at best, darkness,
My eyes are drawn to the glow.
I wonder if we would explode,
Trying to reach the sun.

Verse 1:
Artificial light is just darkness,
A tired and flickering dream.
I wonder, when the powers down,
If the light will be inside me.

Verse 2:
The artificial light of florescence,
A constant and overworked hum.
The stoplights and the flashing signs,
Paling Beneath the Sun.
Synthetic Light,
Synthetic Light.

Chorus x2

Days Away
by Ronald Jenkees

Ronald Jenkees expresses himself very well, and we appreciate his thoughtful grooves and artistic and soloistic synth playing! Holy Buckets

The Beginning (2012)
by Kill Paris

A new artist we just started listening to. Electronic that grooves hard! Really laid back and soulful feeling, but with some tasteful grittiness. Funky, with some dubstep elements, but not overdone. Holy Buckets

Dusk to Dawn
by emancipator

Emancipator's music is detailed, relaxed and really grooves. He blends acoustic and electric sounds seamlessly! Dusk to Dawn is an irresistibly beautiful array of musical textures and color. Holy Buckets
