Be Kind Rewind

DudeHowEvenTho I've listened to this album since it came out and it still captures that 80s energy in every single moment across these tracks. Throughout every track you get bass, lead & pad synths that take you on a journey of 'running through the stars' (see what I did there?) Favorite track: Lost Beach.

S n 0 0 c h b e a n s This album was the soundtrack for a weekend trip out of state I took with my family last spring. Pre-pandemic: the sights were bright, the streets and restaurants bustling with people. Yet, we had an overpowering sensation then that this was going to be the last season of something innocent and beautiful in our lives.
Listening to this album now, with all it’s bittersweet, wistful nostalgia for times past, it just hits a little harder- ya know? Favorite track: Everything (feat. Kellie Besch).

dharmalogos I finally got the vinyl record in the mail today after about a month of listening to this album on my phone every day. Be Kind Rewind was an accidental find that introduced me to the entire synthwave genre and inspired me to become a regular bandcamp user.

Look, I'm into metal and classical. I'm not a fan of electronica. But Starunner's sound moves me. It is simultaneously relaxing and energetic, deeply emotional and mellow. I can't recommend it highly enough. Favorite track: Rewind (feat. Megan McDuffee).

I think we almost fell in love I know that I was trying We were young and it just felt right I could see it in your eyes yeah I wonder what you’re doing now How did California treat you? Do you listen to the Cure still Just like we did in high school I didn’t see her coming I thought it was just me and you I thought that we could make it But you didn’t even want to I can’t get it out Can’t get it out of my head What could have been They say some things are best Better left unsaid What could’ve been To say I never caught your eye Would be a lie I know I had you wrapped up, wrapped up baby You said we could be something great But something great is just a thought Oh it’s a mystery I started to get left out Of thoughts that you were having And plans that you were making Oh every conversation When you went and moved on I thought that you would tell me But you didn’t even want to No you didn’t even want to I can’t get it out Can’t get it out of my head What could have been They say some things are best Better left unsaid What could’ve been To say I never caught your eye Would be a lie I know I had you wrapped up, wrapped up baby You said we could be something great But something great Is just a mystery I can’t get it out Can’t get it out of my head What could have been They say some things are best Better left unsaid What could’ve been To say I never caught your eye Would be a lie I know I had you wrapped up, wrapped up baby You said we could be something great But something great Is just a mystery

Warm summer’s eve Maybe June Ruled by shyness She fussed with the EQ Looked across the room And in a glance She notices him In the soft glow The sound far away The light streams in Hold me closer Frozen in time Our innocence A way back to love Just press rewind So on that night That moment Tape deck playing Their eyes met, he smiled Walked across the room Locked in a trance Her heart beating loud Almost touching He reached for her Nothing matters now And so we dance Fall apart Get lost in the dark And so we kiss, Fall away Not a second too late For a moment All is redeemed An innocence Perfection in our eyes We’re Caught in a dream Hold Me Closer Frozen in time Our innocence The way back to love Can we press rewind? Nothing’s simple now Part of a weary world Used to be you and me Alive. Remember you held me tight As the tape turned round and round Close the door, dim the light We’re there Let’s just go back tonight Locked in a trance The drum beats Almost touching He pulls away from her Nothing matters now For a moment All is redeemed An innocence Perfection in our eyes We’re caught in a dream Hold me closer Frozen in time Our innocence The way back to love Please just rewind

Focus The way you harmonize One kiss And I am mesmerized Honey I can't be without you I never knew it but I never knew it but I, I wasn't lookin, lookin but You came and found me Ride or die, traffic light Just as it should be I, I wasn't lookin, lookin but You came and found me Overnight, got me right Right where I wanted to be You are everything I ever wanted You are everything You are everything I ever wanted You are everything One moment Falling from so high Know this When I look into your eyes To be honest I'll tell you everything I would do anything just to have you Want this And I'm not letting go Honey you should know I can't be without you I never knew it but I never knew it So you really wanna know What I want, how I feel I don't doubt it babe I can't fight it babe, no It’s time To cross that line to what is real I don't doubt it babe I can't fight it babe, no I, I wasn't lookin, lookin but You came and found me Ride or die, traffic light Just as it should be I, I wasn't lookin, lookin but You came and found me Overnight, got me right Right where I wanted to be and You are everything I ever wanted You are everything You are everything I ever wanted You are everything So you really wanna know? You are everything

You were so unexpected Didn’t know how hard I’d fall The room was drenched in blue, aglow with soft light, neon blue light And as you gazed up at me, I knew this wouldn’t just be tonight You’ve kept me running through all these years An endless search just to have you near I can’t live without you so time won’t stand a chance Take my hand, we’ll disappear It’s possible I’m a fool Can you make this easy for me? The echoes of the past won’t let us forget But with you by my side, I’m ready for the rest of it You’ve kept me running through all these years An endless search just to have you near I can’t live without you so time won’t stand a chance. Take my hand, we’ll disappear So let’s go Living forever So let’s run In the pink and blue Through eons I will follow you You’ve kept me running through all these years An endless search just to have you near I can’t live without you so time won’t stand a chance Take my hand, we’ll disappear
