we'll all wish to go back in time

by The Protagonist

/

  • Streaming + Download

    The third release of The Protagonist, and the final album of the classroom trilogy is a revisit to the year 2018 from a third person perspective. The good old days of early middle school, awesome friendships and fun times. But the harsh truth is that the past is not a good escape from today's miserable life.

    Things are getting darker around here, although there is light, these moments are disappearing. There is a sense of impending doom and
    melancholy throughout the album. The hope from "A Classroom Above The Skies" has been replaced with an eerie ambient atmosphere. The music here is uneasy and disturbing. Beautiful or depressing, depending on one’s state of mind.
    Purchasable with gift card

Make a brand new start and dance 04:10
lyrics
Start spreading the news… I'm leaving today… I want to be a part of it New York, New York! I want to wake up In a city that doesn’t sleep! And find I'm king of the hill, Top of the heap! These little town blues… Are melting away… I'll make a brand new start of it, In old New York! If I can… make it there, I'll make it… anywhere! It's up to you, New York, New York! New York, New York! I want to wake up In a city that never sleeps. And find that I'm number one, Top of the list, King of the hill, A number one! These little town blues… Are melting away… I'm gonna make a brand new start of it In old New York! And… If I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere! It's up to you, New York, New York! New York!

Time is running out 03:55
lyrics
I don't understand it ‘Cause you won't say yes, But you don't say no… You say you know we shouldn't, You keep holding out’ But you don't let go… I'm giving up on trying To sell you things… That you ain't buying! It's your move! I’ve made up my mind Time is running out… Make a move! 'Cause we can't go on I want you to know, It's your move, your turn to go… I'm giving up on trying To sell you things… That you ain't buying! It's your move! I've made up my mind Time is running out… Make a move! Oh, we can't go on Do you understand? It's all in your hands… It's all in your hands… It's all in your hands… (all- all- all-) It's all in your hands… (all- all- all-) It's all in your hands… (all- all- all-) It's all in your hands I don't understand it ‘Cause you won't say yes, But you don't say no…

Your Reality 03:31
lyrics
Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you… In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you! The ink flows down into a dark puddle… Just move your hand, write the way into his heart. But in this world of infinite choices, What will it take just to find that special day? What will it take just to find that special day? Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today? When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyway… When I can't even read my own feelings, What good are words when a smile says it all? And if this world won't write me an ending, What will it take just for me to have it all? Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me? Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free? The ink flows down into a dark puddle… How can I write love into reality? If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat, What do you call love in your reality? And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you… I'll leave you be.

TSSOFAL03: we'll all wish to go back in time
Compiled, Arranged and Produced by: Sonic4
Vinyl version pressed by: Kunaki

Yeşilköy Okulları was once filled with happy students and great teachers, now left sold away and abandoned after a quiet downfall. From the conference hall to the garden, from the gym to the dance room were filled with life and joy, now left to rot just like all the other failing schools.

This album is a tribute to my old school, my old friends, and my old memories. Let's go back to 2018, one last time. -Sonic4

The Protagonist Bursa, Türkiye

The Protagonist is a project about exploring the depths of the mind, the concept of memories, and reflecting the past as it is.

Immerse yourself in the darkness and give into these digitally recalled memories.

It can be a harsh world at times but ultimately, exposure is always rewarding. ... more
