“Boss Mode” Single & Lyrics Video Out Now

Leave a comment

A silky-smooth blend of soulful downtempo and introspective pop, “Boss Mode” pairs Anji’s soul-baring lyricism and sultry vocal delivery with Ryan’s signature dream pop guitar textures and sleek electronica production. With moody keyboards, crisp beats and soulful guitar flourishes, the song finds strength in vulnerability, drawing emotional resonance from the language of gaming culture—“like boss mode, low health, no refill”—as a metaphor for emotional burnout. 

Marking a shift from the darker emotional tones of recent singles like  “Not Myself” and “Noumenon,” “Boss Mode” calls back to the bittersweet soulfulness of “Why Not Today” and the melodic warmth of “Life Goes On,” while carving out its own space with a confident groove and glimmers of hope. The result is a track that straddles introspective pop and downtempo electronica, inviting listeners to power through life’s harder moments with grace and groove.

“Boss Mode” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music and other streaming platforms under the band’s original name, Love Spirals Downwards, as well as on Bandcamp under both LSD and Lovespirals.

Boss Mode

Leave a comment
Like boss mode
Low health, no refill

This is the last song
I will write for you
And for the love
That never did come true

Times that we shared
Have left me black and blue
Now there’s just one thing
Left for me to do

Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you

Lord how I wish
That I had never let
You into my life
We should’ve never met

Now looking back
I’m filled with such regret
And I dunno know why
You’re so hard to forget

Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you

Never get over it
Learned with it, yet still
I’m finding
Memories so hard to kill
Like boss mode, low health, no refill

Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you
Forget you

Like boss mode
Low health, no refill

Will It Ever Be The Same (VIP Mix) Out Now

Leave a comment

Lovespirals unveil a lush reimagining with “Will It Ever Be The Same (VIP Mix).” A favorite of Lum’s from their 2018 album Life Goes On, the duo elevates the original’s brooding beauty with a richer, moodier production taking advantage of their current studio arsenal. New to this version is a hypnotic vocal sample—“tell me, tell me…”—looped throughout, adding a modern rhythmic hook, while subtle 808 percussion lifts the stately dream pop track into a more contemporary space. Anji Bee’s haunting vocals express a yearning for connection, echoing into the cosmos with aching clarity. A modern classic reborn.

Out now on Bandcamp and all streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.

Will It Ever Be The Same (VIP Mix)

Leave a comment
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

You don’t see me
You don’t hear me
Not sure I even exist to you
And everything that you’ve put me through
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

Are we still on the same plane?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Are we still on the same page?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

We’re moving
In circles
Like planets, orbit slowly
Are you even aware of me?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

Are we still on the same plane?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Are we still on the same page?

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Can you see my face?
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Or have I been erased?
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Do you recall my name?
And tell me (tell me) will it ever be the same?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Are we still on the same plane?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)
Are we still on the same page?
(Tell me, tell me, tell me)

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Can you see my face?
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Or have I been erased?
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Do you recall my name?
And tell me (tell me) will it ever be the same?

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me

The Call (VIP Mix)

Leave a comment
I can’t answer your call
Can’t afford to take the fall

Your timing is no good
I’m not free today
But if I could, you know I would
Go outside to play

You’re calling out to me
(Calling out to me)
I see it in your eyes
(See it in your eyes)
Full of curiosity
(Curiosity)
Such a sweet surprise

But I’m chasing you away
Well what else can I do
‘Cause if you stay another day
I might fall in love with you
Fall in love with you

You’re calling out to me
(Calling out to me)
I see it in your eyes
(See it in your eyes)
Full of curiosity
(Curiosity)
Such a sweet surprise

So I’m chasing you away
What else can I do
‘Cause if you stay another day
I might fall in love with you
Fall in love with you

I can’t answer your call
Can’t afford to take the fall
I can’t answer your call
Can’t afford to take the fall

“The Call (VIP Mix)” Digital Single Out Now

3 Comments

Ryan & Anji Lum revisit their 2022 single, “The Call,” with an even moodier and more atmospheric 2025 reboot. The new VIP Mix amplifies the song’s shoegaze and dream pop essence with a bigger, bolder guitar sound and more immersive ethereal vocal harmonies. The hook-laden guitar lead and spacey synths evoke The Cure, while the track’s melancholic yet driving energy harks back to Ryan’s early 90s work, as well as the duo’s 2018 album, ‘Life Goes On.’ Anji’s emotive vocals shift effortlessly between bold confidence and dreamy sincerity, adding depth to the song’s hypnotic pull. A nostalgic yet refreshed take, this version of “The Call” is a hauntingly beautiful throwback with a modern twist.

Out now on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple, Amazon, YouTube, and other digital platforms.

Special thanks to Susan Jennings for her classic cover image.

Used To Be Single on Apple

Leave a comment

After many delays, our new song, “Used To Be,” is finally available on Apple Music. We have been experiencing a number of issues working with our new digital music distributor related to the band name, which has been exacerbated by recent policy changes at Apple. It’s looking more and more like we will be officially returning to the original band name to avoid further problems. In any case, we hope you enjoy the new song and look forward to more music from us in the new year!

Used To Be

Leave a comment
No one
No one

Life returned to how it used to be
Days filled with nothing and nobody
Put my dreams upon the shelf
Return to my lonely self
No one to rely upon but me

No one

Sit in silence waiting for a sign
In a prison of my own design
Close the curtains and the blind
Leave the whole damned world behind
No one to rely upon but me

No one

No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)


When the shadows start to fall
I retreat behind my wall

Build it higher every day
Just to keep the world at bay

No one to rely upon but me

No one

As the day fades into night
Hope is just a distant light

Will I ever find the key
That will finally set me free

No one to rely upon but me

No one

No one
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)
No one
(No one, no one)

But me, no one
But me, no one

No one

Used to be

Life returned to how it used to be
