LUCY’S REVENGE

"Oh no, a bomb!" he warns
Now that was really fast
It doesn't seem like 700 years have passed
The world looks much the same to my revived relief
Not like the Jetsons as I'd been led to believe

Goodbye my friends it's hard to die
And so accepting finite time
I'll see you in another life

I try to stand and see how the future feels
The bastards took my feet and swapped them with some wheels
And so I roll away controlled across the floor
But I'm not thawed out yet and skid into the wall

I only meant to sign up for a test drive in some boxy Ford
My final words were erudite and poignant
What a waste of time

I venture further out behind an airlock door
Fifty scowling faces look up from the floor
Ahead - eternity with my close family
Oh joy and rapture, where's the offswitch on this cursed machine?

Still waters run deep… Although love hides its face away from the gaze of a loveless world it nevertheless sprays, like urban graffiti, colourful designs on the flesh of the human hear. Secret tattoo celebrates this mysterious activity.

This isn't really an official Fourth Engine track, it's really just Engine One flexing what he chooses to describe as his musical muscles.  It started out as a joke, but the more he got working on it, the more effort went into it and it ended up as this - a very affectionate homage to both Radio 4's Shipping Forecast and one of his favourite artists.  Can you guess who that artist might be?  ;-)

They Gave Me A Lamp

This is a repeat of Engine One's affectionate homage to both (the brilliant) Public Service Broadcasting and Radio 4's Shipping Forecast (as issued by the Met Office on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency).  It's virtually the same as the version already available here, but I've mixed it slightly differently (thanks to the availability of slightly upgraded tools).

Let Me Be - Paragon Cause
Produced by Sune Rose Wagner
Written and Recorded by Paragon Cause and Sune Rose Wagner
2019 - Neko Studios, Ottawa, Canada
Label: Independent

Let Me Be, the newest single from Ottawa's Paragon Cause, sees the band move away from their indie electronica roots finding a comfortable sound in the realms of 60's Soul with a hint of Gospel. The song takes the underlying gospel structure and updates the sound with their characteristic touch of electronica, giving the lush, wall of sound soul song a modern revision.  Michelle Opthof’s performance history in Gospel music and musical theatre, provided her with the skills and talent to achieve a performance matching some of the classic vocalists of the 60's, particularly her powerful and complex vocal harmonies. The powerful musical performance provides just enough energy to move the vocal performance along to its stunning climax.

Like the duo’s recent album, Lies Between Us (2019) and upcoming 2020 album, What We Started, the duo recorded Let Me Be during their sessions with musician/producer Sune Rose Wagner of The Raveonettes.  Sune Rose’s fingerprints are all over the song, from the lo-fi reverb drenched drums to the inspired harmonies influenced by some of the great 60’s soul singers. By utilizing a modern approach to instrumentation, sampling techniques and sound design, the end result is an emotional plea both musically and lyrically, to reminisce about a time when people appreciated the simpler things in life. Its represents an admission that the current trend towards commercialism in the world is too much and sometimes, we all need a break. Of course, this also includes a nod to the stress of the holidays, making the song somewhat of an "anti holiday' song.

“Let Me Be was a true collaboration between Jamie, Myself and Sune Rose. We wanted to write a song that allowed you to stop for a moment, relax and just forget about the stress of any holiday and be left alone while the world spins around you.” Michelle Opthof of Paragon Cause
