“Chimera“ by LunaRover

“Chimera” by LunaRover is a psychedelic pop track with swirling synth textures and invigorating drums. LunaRover offers a transportive soundscape with this song as they explore the complicated feelings that come with a failed relationship. With any breakup, there are many conflicting emotions no matter the reason for the end. Gratitude for the love you experienced, grief that it’s over, nostalgia for the good times, anger for the bad times, and more, can all exist within you at the same time. It can be overwhelming, but “Chimera” provides a beautiful space for you to sit in your feelings and connect with a song about going through a similar experience. 

Lines like “I’m looking through you, and I can’t be your answer” and “I think I fell in love with the idea of you” tell us that this relationship may have been a kind of mirage from the start. Love can be shimmering and beautiful at the beginning, but as reality creeps in you may realize that it is just not meant to be. Despite the pain, those good times are still meaningful. The title, “Chimera” is defined as something “that is hoped or wished for but in fact is illusory or impossible to achieve,” and this definition is perfectly captured with the longing sonics in this track.

Retro synth textures, electronic melodies, and a steady drum rhythm craft an enveloping arrangement that holds your attention and brings your emotions to the surface. No matter what your personal chimera is, this track is a poignant reminder that love and growth can be born through letting go of an illusion, no matter how lovely it was.
