Synth Single Review: “Meet You There” by OutRunner

by Karl Magi

OutRunner’s “Meet You There” is a reflection on loving and remembering. The song commences as soft illumination fills the background while glimmering notes move along with whispered vocals, exhaling tenderly. OutRunner’s voice is full of shivering affection and loss while a gigantic drum beat and rolling bass create shape. The rounded synth exudes trembling brilliance, carrying a wistfully dreaming melody.

I find OutRunner’s vocals charming and heartbreaking while the towering rhythm pulses and the synth trails with lonely elegance. The beat is solid and adds shape while the synth spins with graceful serenity. OutRunner’s guitar embodies melancholy calm as it floats, capturing all of the remembrance and love in the melody.

The guitar arcs upward with irradiating light while the breathy vocals slide with hurting hope. A skillfully played guitar solo burns with bereft emotion and carries the song to an end.

Our storyteller will meet the song’s subject in a certain place and he recalls “the nights we used to talk. I now surrender as I’m sitting all alone.” He also remembers “the late nights by the shore” as he continues to cling to the other person’s memory while repeating that he’ll meet them there.
