Song information
This is my first song from my 2025 RPM Challenge attempt. I didn't quite meet the 10 songs or 35 minutes of music, but I did get four songs out of it.

My intention was to go in a more upbeat 80s synth pop direction. That didn't happen. I kept the synths, but upbeat went out the door. Especially with this tune - a commentary on how we tend to react to tragedies that were totally within our power to prevent.

Hope you enjoy and I'll post the next tune in a few days.

Lyrics
Waiting for that feeling again
when the light breaks through the clouds in the sky
Waiting for the darkness to turn
and wipe away the tears from our eyes

Moments fade away into years
and the echos of voices are gone
we look for the passion but it faded away
after the day is done

We laugh as they tell us they’ll show us the way
and run from the light of the promise of day
We always believe the storm will pass by
Then we mourn the loss of things we let die
mourn the loss of things we let die

Waiting for that feeling again
but pleasure slowly gives way to pain
Waiting for our nerves to go numb
but our mirror knows who is to blame

We laugh as they tell us they’ll show us the way
and run from the light of the promise of day
always believe the storm will pass by
Then we mourn the loss of things we let die
mourn the loss of things we let die

Waiting for that feeling again
knowing it never will come
tears for the memory of what we have lost
as raging clouds cover the sun

We laugh as they tell us they’ll show us the way
and run from the light of the promise of day
always believe the storm will pass by
Then we mourn the loss of things we let die
mourn the loss of things we let die

I love that 80s synth sound and that Cure-like guitar.
