The Thun-based musician has crafted what might be the most honest song about post-30 dating since, well, anyone bothered to write one. Where other artists might reach for overwrought metaphors or Instagram-ready platitudes, ProschisiBeats opts for something far more unsettling: the truth. The track navigates that peculiar purgatory between swipe-right superficiality and genuine human connection with the weary wisdom of someone who's been there, done that, and lived to tell the tale.
Musically, "Licht am Horizont" operates in that sweet spot between accessibility and artistry. The melody is indeed beautiful—melancholic without being maudlin, contemporary without chasing trends. It's the sort of song that could soundtrack a late-night tram ride through any European city, where the glow of phone screens illuminates faces searching for something they can't quite name.
What elevates this above standard singer-songwriter fare is ProschisiBeats' refusal to offer easy answers. The "light on the horizon" of the title isn't a guarantee—it's a prayer, a stubborn act of faith in the face of algorithmic romance and emotional ghosting. There's something profoundly moving about an artist willing to admit vulnerability while maintaining hope, especially in a musical landscape that often rewards cynicism over sincerity.
The German lyrics work in the song's favour, lending an intimacy that might feel overwrought in English. ProschisiBeats delivers them with the kind of conversational directness that makes you feel like you're eavesdropping on a particularly honest therapy session.
In an era of manufactured emotion and algorithmic playlists, ProschisiBeats has created something genuinely affecting: a song that acknowledges the specific loneliness of our time while refusing to surrender to it entirely. It's a modest masterpiece of modern romantic realism, and a compelling argument that sometimes the most radical act is simply telling the truth.
"Licht am Horizont" is available on all streaming platforms from July 26, 2025.
