Welcome to 80s Synthwave Sundays! This week, we're diving into the timeless classic "Together In Electric Dreams" by Giorgio Moroder and Philip Oakey. Released in 1984, this song is a quintessential piece of the synthwave genre, blending futuristic sounds with heartfelt lyrics.

"Together In Electric Dreams" was the title track for the movie of the same name, capturing the essence of the 80s fascination with technology and romance. Giorgio Moroder, a pioneer in electronic music, teamed up with Philip Oakey of The Human League to create this iconic track. The song's infectious synth melody and catchy chorus quickly made it a favorite among synthwave enthusiasts.

The lyrics tell a story of a digital romance, perfectly complementing the film's plot about a computer falling in love with its owner's girlfriend. The seamless blend of Moroder's production and Oakey's distinct vocals creates a track that is both nostalgic and forward-looking, embodying the spirit of the 80s.

"Together In Electric Dreams" not only highlights the innovation of its time but also continues to influence modern synthwave artists. Its legacy is a testament to the enduring appeal of 80s synth music.
