Synth Single Review: “Another Lonely Night” by Neon Skyline

by Karl Magi

Neon Skyline’s “Another Lonely Night” captures deep regret and loss. The track begins with a steadily churning low end, flashing synth, and crying guitar that leaps forth with brokenhearted emotion as the pounding drums accelerate. The melody launches with conviction on a guitar that soars upward, while Neon Skyline’s gruff-edged vocals convey hurt and loss.

The rhythm thunders as wild arpeggios spin from the guitar and the underpinnings press on relentlessly. A luminous synth supports the chorus, adding glowing radiance beneath misty, broken vocals. Neon Skyline’s guitar is unleashed once more, tearing forward with howling dynamism to match the heartfelt vocal performance before the song ends.

“Street lights flicker like fading hope, I walk alone where the silence spoke,” the narrator sings, hearing laughter echo in faraway rooms as he admits he’s “just a shadow beneath the moon.” He dials her number but never calls, tracing her name on a mirrored wall while the city sleeps and he stays awake, haunted by the moves he made.

Now it’s “another lonely night, in a world that used to shine,” as he chases ghosts in neon light. Vinyl spins in an empty space, her perfume lingers, and a love that vanished too soon plays out of tune. He wonders, if he could rewind the reel, would she still be something real, or was he just a scene left in the credits of regret?
