New Single "Meaningless" by Jay Wires Captures the Essence of Lost Love and Narcissistic Discard with Infectious 80s Synth Vibes
[New York, NY, May 17, 2024] Synthesist-songwriter Jay Wires dials up catchy electropop infused with emotion - synthpop art with a human heart.
No one knows how once-meaningful moments can echo in your head quite like the brokenhearted. You can either wallow in misery or, like Jay, you can put them to music in your synth cave and wallow in misery. The latter option is succinctly carried out in a deceptively up-tempo synthpop eulogy to what was.
Gaining a reputation for crafting memorable melodies and wistful soundscapes, emerging artist Jay Wires unveils his latest single, "Meaningless," set to captivate listeners with a poignant narrative of realization and disappointment following the demise of a relationship. Laden with catchy, familiar 80s synth vibes reminiscent of iconic acts like Eurythmics and Erasure, "Meaningless" is a testament to Wires' ability to evoke raw emotions through his unique brand of electronic pop.
"Meaningless" delves into the universal experience of lost love as well as the haunting aftermath of a traumatic breakup with a narcissist. With its irresistible refrain and relatable lyrics, "Meaningless" is poised to resonate deeply with listeners worldwide, but even more so with those who are walking the same path of recovery from narcissistic abuse.
This popwave lament cleanly conveys the vivid picture of heartache with an uncomplicated melody, punctuated with an infectious sing-along chorus that will have you alternately sighing along to subtle, aesthetic chill-inducing strings and tapping your toes to plucky vintage keyboard hooks as you commiserate with Jay, yearning for closure.
Fans of synth-pop and heartfelt songwriting alike will want to add this enchanting track to their playlists, and take a moment to escape the demands of their day to immerse themselves in the experience of the magic of Jay Wires' electropop therapy.
“Meaningless” will be released by Yes Trigger Music on May 17, 2024 and will be available on Bandcamp as well as major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube.

lyrics
You said I was the only one
Who'd ever shown you happiness
Somehow we were different no
You never saw an end to this
Now suddenly you act as though I don't exist
Tell me how did such a hit
End up such a miss?
Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless
Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless
I used to be your one-stop shop
'Til I was sold out and dismissed
Now questions float around my head
And echo through the emptiness
Cause suddenly you act as though I don't exist
Tell me how did such a hit
end up such a miss?
Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless
Every word from your lips
Every touch from your fingertips
Every love song and every kiss
Now meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless
Meaningless
