The soundtrack of unfulfilled love
When I first heard “Connection” by TwinEye, I was immediately captivated by the atmosphere of the song. The dreamy mood, carried by a bold bassline, runs through the entire track. What particularly fascinates me is the perfect balance between synth pop, post punk and dream pop – a mix that, in my opinion, is not only skilfully implemented but also works exceptionally well. The vocals are dreamy and floating, blending beautifully into the arrangement.
The lyrics may be repetitive, but I think that’s exactly what enhances the emotional message. The lines “I wanna kiss you, I cannot kiss you” and “I wanna feel you, I cannot feel you” convey an almost tangible longing for a connection that remains out of reach. What impresses me most is how TwinEye captures the theme of platonic love – as the artist himself describes it – so consistently in sound and lyrics. Nevertheless, I would have liked to have seen a little more variation in some parts of the text to make the already strong message even more powerful.

Lyrics of “TwinEye – Connection”
I see your face on my mind
I see your name all the time
You
You
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I hear your voice
When I’m alone
Feel your touch
Though you’re gone
You
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
Connection
Connection
You
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you ( you)
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you ( you)
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
I wanna kiss you ( you)
I cannot kiss you
I wanna feel you
I cannot feel you
You
