“Lift Him Up” by Astor Storm Makes Sadness Sound Like a Main Character Arc
“Lift Him Up” feels like the soundtrack to someone finally exiting a long, emotionally confusing group chat called “family issues.” Astor Storm builds a world where industrial beats and cinematic synths don’t just support the emotion; they carry it, like emotional baggage with really good production design. It’s dramatic, but in a way that earns it.
The song’s power comes from how it refuses to stay still. Every section feels like it’s shifting slightly, like the ground is politely but persistently moving under your feet. You get the sense that Storm isn’t interested in neat resolutions, he’s more into the messy, honest kind of transformation where healing looks like questioning everything you thought you knew.
And then there’s the chorus, “Lift Him Up”, which somehow manages to be both heartbreaking and oddly victorious, like emotional judo. It doesn’t beg for closure; it builds its own. By the end, you’re not entirely sure if you’ve just listened to a sad song or a triumphant one, but you do know it made your feelings slightly more organized than they were three minutes ago.

VAAST drops “Remember These Days” and it seriously feels like the future of French pop
France has given the world some of its biggest electronic icons. From Daft Punk to DJ Snake and David Guetta, French artists have shaped global music culture for decades. But lately, finding a track that mixes real emotion, cinematic vibes and dance energy all at once? Pretty rare.
That’s exactly where Vaast steps in.
His new single “Remember These Days” is an addictive mix of modern French electronic production and timeless pop songwriting. Think emotional melodies, huge atmosphere, deep basslines and the kind of track you want both in your headphones at 2AM and blasting during a late-night drive.
The production blends layered synths, marimba-inspired textures, synthetic African vocal elements and immersive cinematic energy. And yes, there’s even inspiration pulled from Avatar, the legendary movie universe that defined a whole cultural era. That influence gives the track its futuristic-but-nostalgic feeling, like a memory from the future.
