On their latest single Icarus, the band Black Like Oil displays interesting sides of synthwave music. On the one hand, it can be dreamy and thoughtful, on the other - reactive and rushing forward. 

The heroine of the song asks herself about her path in life. She's moving forward and everything seems to be alright, yet it's combined with uncertainty, doubts. You have to accelerate just to ignore all obscurity - isn't that a definition of youth? Extreme conditions, exuberance and high spirit - ask Marty McFly about them. Roads? Where we're going, we don't need roads!
