The Athens, GA-based band perfectly combines goth rock with 1980s new wave to create a song that is \u00a0mindful and fascinating. The tune opens with spooky synths that reveal its gothic roots, creating a dark dramatic atmosphere. However, it rapidly\u00a0transforms into a new wave song, driven by driving basslines, ethereal\u00a0keys, and mid-tempo beats that highlight the band&#8217;s desire\u00a0to create melodic\u00a0\u00a0grooves. The 1980s influence is clear, especially in the singing style and production, which use compression and layering characteristic of legendary electro-pop artists such as Depeche Mode and The Human League. The chorus, with its pleasant and catchy refrain, encourages listeners to sing along, increasing the track&#8217;s commercial potential while maintaining its creative edge. The song&#8217;s mix of sadness and rhythm attracts\u00a0both goth rock fans and fans of new wave&#8217;s softer, dance-oriented side. Gannon&#8217;s lyrics are rich with poetic language, creating an eternal sense of desire and an atmosphere of philosophical thinking. Lines like &#8220;The way your fingers touch those strings \/ And lamentations across pages&#8221; and &#8220;Just let go of time&#8221; are significantly moving, triggering themes of eternal love, sorrow, and the ephemeral aspect of life. The contrast of sensitivity and passion mirrors the song&#8217;s melodic duality: dark but bright, melancholic\u00a0but inspiring. By combining goth rock&#8217;s dark melancholy with new wave&#8217;s attractive groove, the band creates a track that speaks on numerous levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"&quot;Let Go of Time&quot; - Official Music Video - Vision Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c2CQdMwAbBc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photo Credit: photo by Jeremy Saffer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/visionvideo.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/visionvideo.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/visionvideoofficial?mibextid=ZbWKwL\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/visionvideoofficial?mibextid=ZbWKwL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/visionvideoband?igsh=MW44aTVnMHRzcWp4eQ==\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/visionvideoband?igsh=MW44aTVnMHRzcWp4eQ==<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Let Go of Time&#8221; by Vision Video is a melancholic but entertaining exploration of spiritual&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26036,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[1038],"class_list":["post-26035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-vision-video"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26035","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26035"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26035\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26079,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26035\/revisions\/26079"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26036"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26035"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26035"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26035"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
