Synth Single Review: “Lonely Together” by Autumn White

Autumn White’s “Lonely Together” interweaves affection and mournful emotion. The song opens as towering drums mingle with phosphorescent notes, transmitting a melody rich with loving depth. Autumn White’s voice is deep and sorrow-tinged, carrying the affectionate melody with conviction.

Prismatic notes join a weighty rhythm as his voice moves effortlessly from grounded depth to trembling height. Gigantic percussion surges while the vocal performance reaches me with emotive conviction, mingled pain and care.

The way his vocals shift from breathy elegance to a solid low register deepens the emotional connection. Laser-like notes flash as limpid tones trickle and caring warmth radiates through his silky delivery. The diamond twinkle of elevated synth flashes as colliding drums flow outward and the song gently closes.

“In the spaces in between, when the air gets cold,” the narrator thinks of the way the song’s subject holds his arm so they don’t feel alone. There’s something in the back of his mind that he wrote down because “I couldn’t say anything at all.” The message reads, “Don’t wait for me, you’ll be waiting forever, and if we have to die, I promise you we’ll be lonely together.”

They’ll be together “in the space between the stars, in the cold blue light.” The storyteller has friends in high places who are “coming down tonight.” He asks if the other person is ready to leave it all behind, and as the song concludes, he wonders, “Is it better to be lonely together?”
