Empty Tables (1974 Version)

Mr. Armstrong Plays the Blues

London Cafe Blues

OrchraX revives a forgotten world through sound.

Songs from a Lost Gramophone (Remastered Edition) reimagines a 1932 film soundtrack that never was — blending crooner jazz, swing rhythm, and modern warmth. Each song tells a story of laughter through hardship, champagne dreams, and tea-time love, echoing through the crackle of time.

Inspired by the vintage radio world of Fallout 4, this EP feels like a voice from the past restored for today.

Lyrics:

Funny thing, darling — the later it gets, the truer the room becomes.

We danced all night, the band played loud,
Gold confetti kissed the crowd,
But when the lights came down, somehow,
It all just felt a little tired.

Pearls and powder, talk and tease,
Perfume hangin’ in the breeze,
And yet beneath the toast and cheese,
There’s dreams long since expired.

The champagne’s gone flat, my dear,
And so’s the laughter we held near,
We toast to joy but sip our fear,
And call it holiday.

The trumpet yawns, the piano sighs,
The dawn peeks in with guilty eyes,
And love — that sweet disguise —
Fades quietly away.

Yes, the champagne’s gone flat, my dear,
But let’s pretend we still hold cheer,
We’ll dance once more for old yesteryear,
Then call it a lovely day.

Here’s to nights we can’t afford —
and the hearts we overdrew ’em for.
