Speedrun’s latest single, “Memory,” comes across like a reflective postcard from the early 2000s, filled with longing and emotion. It’s a beautiful blend of emotions that captures both a sense of memories and modern relevance.
“Memory” has that classic pop-rock vibe you’d expect from a soundtrack of a mid-2000s indie film. But here’s the catch, it’s not a duet with two singers. Instead, it’s one person expressing the different parts of themselves that have been hurt over time. This creates an intimate experience, almost like listening to someone grapple with their own emotions. What draws you in is how the song combines deep feelings with an upbeat, sunny sound. The lively drum beats lend it energy, while the sharp guitar riffs convey a longing to connect with someone or perhaps even with the past. With a sense of authenticity and a final touch from a well-known producer, the song feels both genuine and fresh.
Speedrun masterfully blends grief and catchy melodies. It’s the kind of summer song that you can enjoy while watching the sunset, even if it brings a tear to your eye. It encourages you to stay present with your feelings without letting you slip into sadness.
