about

The project started around christmas last year with the intention to capture this strong feeling of nostalgia I often experience around that time. For quite some time there was this big wish of mine to make more music together with friends, so I thought to myself: Okay, then let's just invite them. And already on the first day – 4 hours in – this song was here. I never would have ever imagined of this being a possibility to come true back when I thought "mhm, a big 3D choir, real cello and trumpet would fit this project".

Unfortunately, Bandcamp currently can't distribute Dolby Atmos, so if you bought this song and want to listen to it in Dolby Atmos, write me at hey@nicolud.com and I will send it to you in wav quality!

lyrics

[Intro]

[Chorus]
It's been so long

[Verse 1]
Tonight
I'm going back in time
But you won't be visiting all the places back home
Ah, it's been so long
Visiting all the memories long gone
Such a cold feeling under my skin
All the wrong places, where have I been?
I was lost in my heart like you're stuck in your head
Some kind of meaning just wasn't sure yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Ah, it's been so long
Ah, it's been so long

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Ah, it's been so long
Ah, it's been so long
Going back in time but you won't
Visiting all the places back home
