Kidburn is a Synthpop/Retro project with rock influences based in Italy, specifically in Sardinia, created by Alberto Mulas.
The information provided mentions that his vocals draw inspiration from music legends like George Michael, while figures like Keith Scott and Brian May influence his guitar work.
Is it true? Let’s find out with his latest song:Last Days Of You.
Song Analysis
“Last Days Of You” is a sweet and ethereal song with a strong nostalgic sensation, as befits the synthwave/synthpop genre, and it serves as a preview for a new album, “Fooloed By The Rush Of Growing Up“that Kidburn is working on.
The percussion, just like the vocals and other sounds, follows the tradition of being ethereal and spacious, with a masterful use of reverberation.
The guitar is powerful and nostalgic, and the entire song easily transports listeners back in time to the early summer loves of youth – those loves destined to end due to distance, yet ones in which we invested heart and soul.
In fact, this is what the song is about: the last days of a summer love, an affair both parties know must come to an end, as emphasized by the line “We’re only lovers waiting for the end.”
One of the enchantments of this musical style is precisely its ability to take people back in time, away from the cynicism of the modern era, to a period where magic and emotions truly mattered, even if sometimes bittersweet.
And I believe that as society progresses towards a plastic existence, driven by the extraction and destruction of genuine emotion in favor of mere carnal sensation, music of this kind will become more relevant to all those who reject such dehumanization.
Lyrics
These are the last days of you
but I won’t forget the blue
of your eyes
baby tell me you’ll be mine
when school is over
If you’d only knew
that what I felt was true
but you lied
when you said that you were mine
all mine forever
The moment’s gone
I’m bound to fall
we’re both becoming cynical
I won’t foget us,
walking hand in hand
but baby now
We’re only Lovers
waiting for the end to come
I leave my life right in your hands
so baby you will understand
my heart
It’s still burning for you
through the lines
of my songs you’ll find me crying
for those stolen moments
If only I could turn back time
then maybe you could tell me why
some stories
never see the light
The moment’s gone
I’m bound to fall
we’re both becoming cynical
I won’t foget us,
walking hand in hand
but baby now
We’re only Lovers
waiting for the end to come
I leave my life right in your hands
so baby you will understand me
we’re only Lovers
waiting for a war to come
I leave my life right in your hands
so baby you will understand my heart
The moment’s gone
I’m bound to fall
we’re both becoming cynical
I won’t foget us,
walking hand in hand
but baby now
We’re only Lovers
waiting for the end to come
I leave my life right in your hands
so baby you will understand me
we’re only Lovers
waiting for a war to come
I leave my life right in your hands
so baby you will understand my heart
These are the last days of you
These are the last days of you
These are the last days of you
These are the last days of you
Conclusion
“The Last Days Of You” by Kidburn is a decidedly melancholic yet simultaneously magical song that transports the listener to the past, to the time of summer loves that, even though destined to end, were dedicated with heart and soul, in the hope that they could last forever.
It’s a rediscovery of the purest and simultaneously most innocent feelings of times marked by innocence and dreams.
