If cherubs in the cosmos had a soundtrack for arrow-flinging, “Real Love” by Starmode & Tarmo might just be it. Strangely enough, imagine Cupid drenched in neon lights, vibing to electronic beats atop Helsinki’s snow-laden roofsᅳthis image encapsulates what brushes through your eardrums with this track.
Dancing on a tightrope between euphoria and plaintive longing, the single crafts sunlight out of notes and chords that could potentially resuscitate frozen hearts. The piano acts not just as an instrument but as an alchemist; turning air into goldᅳa rare feat reminiscent of Midas’s own playlist.
The core message sings ballads about love’s rejuvenating power; more refreshing than a gulp of Klondike-esque cold air during summer midsöl (a coined term blending ‘sol’, sun WIth mid). This anthem does not tiptoe around its intentionsᅳit stomps through your feelings with the heftiness of Goliath sporting light-up sneakers pounding along to Beats by Dr Dre helium riffs.
Now let’s sidestep: Did aliens intercept transmissions from our “summery” songs and beam back “Real Love” as their first message? It seems probable when you get washed under its pulsating waves. Another curious muse is whether Archimedes would’ve abandoned his Eureka moment if this tune thumped through his bathhouse?
Wrapping up in ambiguation hues rather than clear-cutsᅳdoes “Real Love” truly elevate or simply tantalize us like unrequited love at peaktime disco infernos? Only repeated listens will tell if it remains timeless or tapers into nostalgia’s echoing whispers.
