What Synthwave Actually Is

Synthwave is the sound of memory made electric — pulsing basslines, warm analog pads, gated reverb drums, and melodic arpeggios that feel like driving through a neon-lit city at night. It is the sonic language of the 1980s, rebuilt for the present.

Your custom song uses this production vocabulary to tell a story that only you could tell. The genre sets the atmosphere. Your brief provides everything else.

// Style 01
Classic Synthwave
Warm analog pads, pulsing arpeggiators, and melodic leads over a slow-driving beat. Nostalgic, cinematic, emotionally resonant.
Ref: Kavinsky, Gunship, FM-84
// Style 02
Dreamwave / Chillwave
Softer, hazier, more romantic. Reverb-heavy synths, slower tempo, a feeling of distance and longing. Perfect for love songs.
Ref: Washed Out, Tycho, Neon Indian
// Style 03
80s Pop Electronic
Upbeat, catchy, with that unmistakable decade warmth — big choruses, gated snares, and a hook that sticks. Great for birthday tributes.
Ref: A-ha, Pet Shop Boys, Human League
// Style 04
Cinematic Synthwave
Epic, expansive, and dramatic. Built for moments that feel larger than life — proposals, milestone anniversaries, extraordinary occasions.
Ref: Carpenter Brut, Dan Terminus, Perturbator

“80s Movie Moment”
Synthwave / 80s  ·  Jordan Hayes  ·  Graduation  ·  Written from a real brief
0:54 3:12

// Written for Jordan Hayes — NYU Tisch film student, graduation gift. Full story below.

// The story behind this song

Jordan Hayes graduated from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. Film student. The person who ordered this wrote one sentence that told us everything about him: “He doesn’t just watch movies — he annotates them.”

They told us about the Post-it notes. His bedroom wall covered in them since he was twelve — shot compositions, lighting observations, lines of dialogue he was saving for something. They told us his film professor stopped mid-class once to ask Jordan to explain what he’d just said to the person next to him, because it was better than the lecture. They told us he cried at the ending of a film that nobody else in the screening room cried at, and when they asked him why, his answer made them cry.

The brief said: “He sees things other people don’t see yet. He always has. I want a song that sounds like standing at the beginning of the rest of his life — the last scene before the credits roll.”

The synthwave palette was the only choice. This is his soundtrack. The overhead shot of the empty campus at golden hour. The final frame before cut to black.

“This is your 80s movie moment / the overhead shot / the empty hall / the song that plays / when the kid who always knew / finally gets to show the world / what he was building all along.”

Your song will be written from your story — the specific details that make this person who they are.

Three Occasions, One Genre

Synthwave serves three completely different gift moments with equal power — the nostalgic couple, the Valentine’s Day lover, and the birthday tribute. Choose the angle that fits.

Nostalgic Couples
Your love story set to the sound that defined a decade. “Our song” — but cinematic, electric, and completely original. For couples who grew up on the 80s or who discovered synthwave together.
Valentine’s Day
The most unique Valentine’s gift for a partner who loves electronic music. While everyone else gives flowers and playlists, you give them a song that only exists because of them.
Birthday Tribute
A birthday song with a hook, a build, and their name in the verse. For someone who grew up on this sound — or for anyone who deserves something more memorable than a card.
Anniversary
Cinematic synthwave is built for moments that feel larger than life. A milestone anniversary deserves a song that sounds like a movie — your movie.
Fan & Culture Gift
For the Stranger Things obsessive, the retro gaming devotee, the Outrun aesthetic collector — a custom track built in the genre they live inside.
“Just Because”
No occasion needed. For someone who would genuinely lose their mind hearing their story told over a synthwave beat — that reaction alone is the point.

Simple. Transparent.

Both tiers produce identical song quality. The only variable is your timeline.

What to Include in Your Order

The brief is everything. The more specific you are, the more the song will feel like it could only have been written for this person.

01
Name and occasion
Whose song is this and what are we marking? Birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day, or no occasion at all — the brief starts here.
02
A specific memory or moment
The scene that defines them or defines you together. A road trip. A first meeting. A moment you’ve replayed a hundred times. Synthwave is built for memory — give us one real one to build from.
03
The energy you want
Nostalgic and cinematic? Driving and euphoric? Soft and dreamlike? Choose one — or describe the feeling you want the listener to have at the end of the song.
04
Style preference
Classic synthwave, dreamwave, 80s pop electronic, or cinematic synthwave — see the style guide above. If you’re unsure, name an artist or track that feels right and we’ll work from that.
05
Sonic references (optional but powerful)
If there’s an artist, album, or specific track that lives in the sonic neighborhood you want — name it. We use references as emotional and production guides, not as templates to copy.

Questions Answered

An original electronic music track written in the synthwave or 80s-inspired style — analog warmth, pulsing arpeggios, cinematic synth pads — with lyrics and a melody written specifically from your story. Not a template, not a remix. Composed from scratch using your brief.
Synthwave works across three main occasions equally well: nostalgic couples who want their love story told in the genre they love, Valentine’s Day for a partner into 80s or electronic music, and birthday tributes for someone who grew up on the decade. It also works for anniversaries and “just because” moments where the reaction is the whole point.
Think pulsing basslines, layered analog synth pads, gated reverb drums, and melodic arpeggios — the sonic language of the 1980s applied to an original composition built from your story. Depending on your brief and style choice, the tone can range from cinematic and emotionally warm to driving and euphoric. Press play on the sample above for the clearest answer.
Genre-specific production is what we do. Storied Song builds synthwave tracks with the actual sonic elements of the genre — analog synth textures, the right drum machine character, proper arpeggiator patterns, and the production warmth that defines the 80s sound.
