My Best Music from this Past Year Explained

Posted by Syntrus - December 29th, 2022


In this Blog post I will talk in brief about my five best songs of the year, I will sip on brandy, smoke a bottom shelf “Cuban Sandwich” cigarillo and muse about why Newgrounds likes these songs, even though I don’t really know, and perhaps if there is time why I don’t know what anyone wants and how I prefer it that way. *cough* *cough* (I take Cigarillos like a bitch) Mainly what I am going to focus on is views since score’s can be arbitrary what I’m interested in is the songs that keep people coming back.


My number one song this year came out on Valentines Day with a whopping 4145 listens on NG and seeing as it is an NG exclusive, (songs I don’t release on streaming or bandcamp) it is surprising the reception it has gotten “The Sensations Of Love”



It's remarkably complex in it’s scope of being a romantic song, I am not altogether certain I understand love. This song really does go with my theme and overall narrative where I am represented by this lost robot archetype trying to gain control over this world because of its insecurities of being alone. You can really hear this lack of understanding of that feeling of love, even though it is still in essence a song meant to be romantic. This tragic battle I guess must’ve resonated with this community as it really did translate to some attention from many of you around Valentines. Thank you!


 My next best song and the only song with lyrics on this list is called Stabbin A Pimp a Newgrounds Exclusive


I am not surprised at all that this whacko song is popular on Newgrounds being a user here for so long, I really have gotten a sense of the screwed-up comedy this site craves. I don’t know, this was legit just a shit post about banging some dude’s mom at work that spiraled out of control when I went and talked shit about him to my NG friends over on Discord. I’m glad ya’ll enjoyed it! That dude’s mom is a ho and I had to kidnap her and stab a pimp to prove to my dead father I’m not a homosexual. There is a lot to love in this song, maybe I can write romance songs.


The next track is a total tonal shift from the first two it’s a psychological thriller called “Lone Lasergunman” once again a Pornhub (sorry force of habit) Newgrounds Exclusive.   


I remember watching the X Files around the time I made this song, and reading reviews about Cyberpunk 2077 (I never did buy that game because I’m a wage slave and I hated the music in that game), and I guess some of the ideas sort of meshed together into this composition. “They are going to Lone Gunman Mulder” said Scully because Mulder was acting particularly schizophrenic in this episode, and it seemed like he was going to off someone because of the influence others had over him, add to that the gritty anime genre “cyber punk” and you have the background for this track. Enjoy!


This next song is all about the hype surrounding the local sports team when they are in the playoffs!


Designed as a sort of stadium rocker song, this track has a growling bass line a tough ass rocker beat and an anxiety inducing synth organ, that’ll make you spill your popcorn. Too bad I couldn’t transfer this energy into the Calgary Flames dressing room, they ultimately lost to the damn Oilers! A big wish of mine is to one day have this song played on a major sporting events sound system! That would be kickass.  


Next up the Seed of Underbelly, Newgrounds Exclusive DON’T TYPE A PORNSITE BEFORE EXCLUSIVE SYNTRUS


This track builds on the proven formula Lone Lasergunman establishes but leans heavier into the Film Noir aspects of the “Cyber Punk” genre. While Lone Laser Gunman was about an assassination the Seed of Underbelly is about the bar full of likely suspects nearby as they flee. I really enjoyed playing around with the MS 20 solo lead in this track, it was my child, and as my child it was a handful and required a lot of care and love and filtering particularly int the high end range with EQ, but  in the end I became the proud Papa


These songs and more are part of the Syntrus musical story, and I think there is an overall narrative to all these tracks the NG community has selected, some sort of hopelessly in love schizophrenic with delusions of stabbing pimps, made into a lone laser gun man in the year 2077 by the illuminati, because they didn't like the outcome of a sports game at the seedy bar they were all attending. I hope you enjoyed it! If you liked these songs please consider donating to feed clothe and house the person that made these audio works here
