about

We present 'Red Skies', the third and final single from the upcoming 2023 release 'Heartbeats' from Coastal.

Coastal - the Leeds UK based duo consisting of Jonathan Fletcher and Aaron Hetherington - made an instant impression in the Synth and Retrowave scene with their debut release 'Memories' which included the fan favourite - the nostalgic 'Kyoto' and the electric, driving anthem 'Midnight Sky'

'Red Skies' brings back and showcases the retro analogue vibes that Coastal are recognised for . A slowly expanding orchestra of synth sounds, arpeggios provide the backdrop for the vocals of Aaron Hetherington with the nostalgic themes of hitting the road and looking back at what could have been.

'Red Skies' explodes into action with a gorgeously smooth saxophone solo. Perfectly encapsulating 'that' retro vibe - and an ever present staple of Coastal's music. The track closes out with an emotional realisation of whilst the world keeps turning, sometimes we need a little more time to get back to being the people we want to be.

'Red Skies' is a journey of beautiful sounds and emotion and sure to be a staple among many playlists this summer.

lyrics

[LYRICS]

The road is clear tonight lets take a drive
Still frame up the mirror of what we left behind
Approaching lights bring a glimmer below the bright red skies
The crashing tide on the shoreline to sweep away these wanting eyes
Is this what we wanted?

We were strangers searching in the mist
For that feeling had when we were kids
But we know now

We were drifters trailing in the dark
Where things slowly had to fall apart
But we know now that nothing lasts forever

And life goes strong
And things move on
The world is steady but I'm not ready at all
----------------------------------------------------------------------
