I believe this song came out in 1982 its still so good this song started me Africa is the best song from that area Africa special first in Botswana special with Richard Hammond in 2008 then 2013 Africa special jemery Clarkson did played it in his BMW 2020 rutlag makes reference in cup race at Indy 2020

How do you do a synthwave remix of a song that was basically synthwave before it was even called that?
adding more synths
Show him some goddamn respect
Spotted the Institute member
add some sweet 80's s y n t h
Jt Ho this is what commonwealth synths hear all the time.
Perfect mall music. Good job man.

This is synthwave, NOT vaporwave. Screw vaporwave.
Hahahhahahaa
This is some extradimensional shit. I love it.
This is just the embodiment of chill, I love it so much, kinda sounds like something that would be in bejeweled too.

This song made my day is so incredible , i love it
Never knew I needed this in my life until now.
The original is good but for some reason this is amazing I'm bopping my head to this at 0:44 in the morning on the 3rd day of my summer break.
This absolutely changed my life, I don’t know where to go from here
Love the synths, but the drums sound weak, airy, punchy gated reverb drums are important for that authentic 80s sound
This. Only Sound that really cames trough is the Toplead Mallet. 4/10
also i was expecting the beats be faster on the chorus, would be sick
every song in the 80s sounded exactly the same.
trust me ive seen stranger things
It's like... it's a GREAT idea, but the execution could be better. This feels more like elevator music than a really good synthwave remix...

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had (ooh, ooh)

So close to greatness. Just needed og lyrics with new synth beat
nobody says that this could be magical
The best lift music ever.
How can one man create something better than Africa? Simple, remix Africa.
80s overload!
Makes the 80s sound more 80s
So pleased the Dull Mens Club anthem has got a an appropriate rework 🙂🙃😉

In this 2017 Synthwave remix/cool remix of this song, the edited Roland D-50 internal patch “Fantasia” is heard.

Ah yes, the 80s is made of 80s
I could believe it is originally existed in the 80's

Great remix, wish it had the vocals too.
thanks! i did actually make a version with vocals but it kinda ruined the synth vibe i was trying to make
u shud release one bro, variety for different crowds such as myself too. thats how you get more audience to your channel/subs. :)

Sounds like a cover version that you often got on these Synthesizer Hits Cassettes and CDs :D
Заебись, чётко!(Russian meme phrase you can't understanT)
Ima play this after I deliver 10 tonnes of food to africa
This could be good with some work on it but the lead vocal simply converted from midi ruins it in my opinion
yeah i agree but i wasnt that good to fit the vocals when i made the remix
Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, keep up the good work

@@martedv1 I mean like you could've maybe lowered the pitch of the vocals and sprinkled a little bit of reverb on it but it sounds good nonetheless

Wow!
Everything said!
Well, now I know where Sonic got the ending song with him on the plane with Tales! o(*￣▽￣*)ブ
Sweet cover! 👌🏽👌🏽🌈
Not bad. Though I would say this track is more an instrumental cover than a remix. I say this because it doesn't have the original vocals.
This makes me think of sim city on ds
Synths or programs used?
i use fl studio, i use nexus and massive for most of my synths
