New version of When I Wake Up is Out!

A lo-fi pop song about choosing action over passivity. 🦋

When I Wake Up is a vocal-focused bedroom pop track about inner drive, committing to a decision, and finally starting to move toward a dream.

If you’re standing still and feel the pull to begin, this song is for you.

This version is a reinterpretation of the original electro pop / rock song by Isamolle, released under the Liljabelle project.

The production shifts into a warmer, downtempo aesthetic while keeping a steady forward motion. The focus is on voice, mood, and intention rather than high energy or impact.

The accompanying film features realistic pixel art visuals, composed like small pixel paintings in shades of purple, blue, beige, and yellow. The imagery blends nostalgia with imagination, reflecting themes of intention, momentum, and choosing to act.

🎧 Genre: Bedroom / Lo-Fi Pop

🌙 Mood: Motivated, reflective, intimate

🎥 Visual style: Realistic pixel art, retro-inspired aesthetic

Lyrics

When I wake up, I have the drive to

Walk the dream and I’ll make it count

Frozen like a fool, I held myself back

Staying loyal to the passive way of track

Until the day you caught me loose

Out of the pod, out of the pod

Unbelievable, what a massive change

When I wake up, I have the drive to

Walk the dream and I’ll make it count

When I wake up, I have the drive to

Walk the dream and I’ll make it count

Why did you wake up today?

Did you come to leave it all to chance?

Why did you wake up today?

Did you come for the change?

Then come, let’s roll along and move the world

When I wake up, I have the drive to

Walk the dream and I’ll make it count

No, I will follow through with my dream

Standing still will get you nowhere, get to work

Linnea butterfly

Linnea butterfly

Join me and dance into the dream

Is your mind, your will and grit

Will get you there

When I wake up, I have the drive to

Walk the dream and I’ll make it count
