Me & Melancholy is back with big DM-style dance beats. ‘Naive’ is the name of the release, which hammers relentlessly in the 80s forge. 

Great synth basslines and melodies conjure a flair of immortal melancholy in both sound and mood. The content focuses on holding on to something solid and true – whether that’s a memory, a truth, or a relationship. 

The line, „I’ll hold on to you,“ shows a deep emotional connection and a wish to hold on to the only thing that’s real and tangible in a world where nothing is certain. Truths are often difficult to accept and can change our worldview or lead to the realization that one feels naive in comparison to a deeper understanding. 

The combination of melody, mood, and lyrics manifests as a mixture of longing, connection, and the challenging, transformative power of truth. Love and loyalty in the quest for truth resonate in the sound of the 80s. ‘Naive’ by Me & Melancholy is another jewel in Peter Ehrling’s treasure chest.
