Synth Single Review: “Horizon” by Vihana

by Karl Magi

Vihana’s “Horizon” exudes unadulterated passion as it commences with a slow-burning groove. Desire, love and intense feeling slip from Vihana’s voice, pouring into the music with fiery intensity. Midnight smoothness slides out while panpipes exhale, affection captured, intermingling with sensual caress of the vocals.

Embers of need and sultry heat ignite as the funky underlayer surfs. As Vihana exudes silken emotion, I sail along with that feeling while panpipes breathe serenity. Images of soft light and gentle touches flicker from Vihana’s fervent vocal flow. All of the wanting and yearning gains expression before the song ends.

As starlight illuminates them, the narrator says she won’t lie to the song’s subject. Gazing at the horizon, she experiences the other person’s kindness. She adds, “You’ll never be lonely if you just hold me, even when the day gets dark, you have my heart.”

Admitting that she doesn’t know where they’re going, our storyteller says that they ought to follow their hearts because that’s who they are. She adds, “When the sun is setting, show me what you really want and who you are.”

“I know everything feels so heavy right now, but I’ll be with you even when we’re falling down.” The narrator tells the song’s subject not to worry because they’ll figure something out, but “if you need time alone, lemme tell you, baby, you’re allowed.”
