Film: Empire Records 1995
Starting: Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger & Robin Tunney


This is a synthwave love song, created with the help of AI tools but shaped with a human touch—every lyric, melody, and emotion carefully refined to feel real and timeless.

I’ve always loved the romance of classic films and the purity of music from the past. Today’s songs often feel overproduced and empty, so I wanted to create something more genuine and soulful, like the music we fell in love with years ago.

If this song speaks to you, please like, comment, and share it with someone who still appreciates music with heart and meaning. Let’s keep this feeling alive together. 💫

Lyrics:

The dust settles on the plastic cases We're counting down the cost of staying young Watching the clock hands drag across our faces Trying to hold the words upon our tongue We glued our quarters down against the floor Just to prove we were standing here at all Lock the glass and turn the sign on the door Before the hammer finally starts to fall

I don't know where we go when the music ends I don't know who we are without this noise

So let’s go up to the edge and scream it out We are the kings of a kingdom falling down No regrets and no room left for doubt Just this frequency, this static, and this town If this is the last night that we get to keep Then I promise that I won't go to sleep (I won't go to sleep)

You cut your hair to change who you see I tried to tell you what you mean to me But the timing’s just a scratch upon the track Skipping forward, never looking back We’re dancing at a funeral for our youth Spilling secrets like they’re cheap champagne Maybe the silence is the only truth Washing over us like morning rain

So let’s go up to the edge and scream it out We are the kings of a kingdom falling down No regrets and no room left for doubt Just this frequency, this static, and this town If this is the last night that we get to keep Then I promise that I won't go to sleep

Damn the plans and damn the man who owns the day We have the midnight, and we have the way To make a memory that burns a hole in time (Build up begins, snare roll intensifying) Yeah, we have the rhythm and we have the rhyme!


So let’s go up to the edge and scream it out We are the kings of a kingdom falling down No regrets and no room left for doubt Just this frequency, this static, and this town If this is the last night that we get to keep Then I promise that I won't go to sleep
