The second month of autumn is coming to an end, and this subtle melancholy still hasn’t turned into a Christmas mood. And right now, I want to share with you music that seems to have been born for days like these. Freedust and their remix Take Me There (Lofi Hip Hop Remix) is like a breath of cold, rainy air mixed with the warmth of memories that refuse to let go.
The track immediately pulls you into its space: the lo-fi percussion with breakbeat touches creates a sense of movement, even if you’re sitting completely still. The vocals, playing with time, vinyl effects, and a light scratch, become a companion to time itself. These details make it feel alive and, at the same time, homey—like an old record player that crackles a little, but that only adds to the warmth.
Take Me There feels alive, even in its melancholy. The lyrics amplify this feeling, echoing the tradition of classic indie-pop. It’s a pleasant kind of sadness, like a mix of nostalgia and memories of first love, the kind that used to hurt so sharply in childhood, but now settles in the heart as a gentle memory and a sense of gratitude for a meaningful life.
