about
"In the world of synth pop, "Before After Again" refreshes the genre with their energetic yet melancholic track "Decay". With one foot firmly planted in the 90s, this song will make the hearts of all fans of bands like "Camouflage" or "Mesh" beat faster.
"Decay" captivates with its brisk beat and an unmistakable 90s vibe that manages to both conquer the dance floor and appeal to deeper, emotional layers. The influences of classic synth pop are unmistakable, but "Before After Again" adds its own flavour. A touch of electro rock gives the song an additional flavour and underlines the band's musical diversity.
The band, who already caused a bit of a sensation with their dark ballad "Carousel" in January, show with "Decay" that they are more than just a flash in the pan. Their ability to combine energetic beats with a noticeable melancholy is remarkable. "Before After Again" proves to be a fantastic new discovery in the black music scene of 2024. Their development promises to remain exciting, and it is to be hoped that they will continue to follow this unique musical path." - Electrozombies (Thomas Frenken)

lyrics
Hold on this won’t take but a moment
Your head spins like a top
Goes round, round, round
Please understand this is intention
Not necessarily I’m down, down, down
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
You bide the ties that take us under
My grip it squeezes you more, more, more
Shake loose and let me know it’s over
You know it’s what we have in store, store, store
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
Your arms around me in this splendor
It feels so warm without your touch, touch, touch
Come take my heart and drive it under
It digs so deep inside the ground, ground, ground
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
Your head spins like a top
Goes round, round, round
Please understand this is intention
Not necessarily I’m down, down, down
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
You bide the ties that take us under
My grip it squeezes you more, more, more
Shake loose and let me know it’s over
You know it’s what we have in store, store, store
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
Your arms around me in this splendor
It feels so warm without your touch, touch, touch
Come take my heart and drive it under
It digs so deep inside the ground, ground, ground
I love the way you drop
The pieces on the floor
Decay your every touch
I slip away to nothing
