Breakthrough (One for Me, One for You)

Skirmish: Breakthrough (@robinleaf)Liner Notes
Tonite's skirmish by @robinleaf about a breakthrough. Here's my philosophy: Life is a series of breakthroughs, from a baby's first steps to figuring out how you want to age. Going from teen to adult requires several breakthroughs, but the process doesn't stop there. Political? Maybe.. Let's hope everyone gets the breakthroughs they need - one for me, one for you, one to share with each other. #skirmish #electronic #dance #synthpop
Lyrics
BREAKTHROUGH (c) 2026 raspberry33 Verse 1: We’re brought up to believe Accept what you receive and that Authority should not be challenged
Education changed our minds With philosophers who shined Bright lanterns to pierce the dark madness
Prechorus: But it takes a change in attitude And willingness to start anew Do you move forward or take a step back That decision will be your breakthrough
Chorus: One for me, one for you One to share together Over time, let’s hope they align Breakthroughs, yours and mine.
Verse 2: We must grow or we will die Tell the truth or repeat lies And clear our brains of obsolete clutter
If the water’s clear and deep Then it’s time to make the leap And that will be your breakthrough Life is a series of breakthroughs. Chorus:
Outro: Life is a series of breakthroughs They’ll happen to you dozens of times Life is a series of breakthroughs Are you ready to make the next leap?

Iiiiinteresting! This feels like it came out of the 80/s 90/s as I'm getting some serious Depeche mode vibes- but like. Combining the happier pop "I just can't get enough" sou along with the rest of their catalogue - AND IT WORKS!
The lyrics fit it well
Ooh I love those descending half steps. This whole song is such a vibe. I'm bookmarking. :-P Brilliant chorus.
Thanks, Robin. This was a happy accident. I don't usually choose synth-pop as a vehicle, but I was exploring different palettes and just went with an "all-synth" instrument pre-set on GarageBand, so I guess that might be a breakthrough too. Though I'm tempted to try an acoustic version if time permits. Thanks again for an inspiring skirmish prompt.
This is so much fun - I’m sitting here dancing along!
I love the sentiment of this! Great stuff.
