about

Parralox Melbourne, Australia

If ever there was a new electronic pop band to encapsulate and emulate the legendary stylings of Depeche Mode, The Human League, Erasure, New Order, Pet Shop Boys and the spirit of Madonna in her 80s day-glo era, then Australia’s Parralox are that modern-day reincarnation. ... more

And in my sleep I see a dove flying away (flying away)
Eye to eye, face to face and heart to heart, live for today

You take me into hell and then back again

Don’t keep me here, I can’t bear to stay!
Oh I’ll come back again, on another day

Repeat Chorus

So Goodbye Berlin
My heart is burning
To run from all that I love

To keep the love alive, let the Eagle fly

Do you think it’s better in the afterlife?

Chorus
My Life meant nothing, till I met you
A true believer, misunderstood
Now I share my feelings with the world

Could I be wrong, maybe life’s not so amazing?
I should leave the house, but the truth is I’m lazy

We’re all trying to find it, a system of pleasure
So don’t be a fool!

When The Future calls you
There’s no need to decide, for...

When our souls unite

What I adore
They despise

(When you’re mine, you’re my baby)

Track Name: Nemesis: NEMESIS
(John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
Samurai inside your mind, with visions of another life
If I should fly away tonight, don’t follow me to the morning light
Ancient life on satellite, reflections of a modern life
With this in mind I cast aside, all notions of an alibi

Pre Chorus
Oh my, the Blood is mine, philistine
Oh my, the West is mine, justified
Oh my, the East is mine, satisfied
Oh my, the Beast inside, terrified

Chorus
Caught in a vision of love
Lost in the moment of how should it be
Caught in a vision of love
Lost in the moment of how should it be

Verse 2
What could you do but sympathise
The eye that sees for miles and miles
When power comes it leaves you weak
Till you transform a power freak
Build a life for me and you
Till the Russians come and the Yankees too
The flesh and blood that I provide
Should oscillate and satisfy

Repeat Pre Chorus

All in all, yeah we could be together, in perfect harmony

Verse 2
At the bus stop, you were there
At the beach, I declare
I did nothing, but observe
Then the ocean, changed your world
Got run over, but the sign said
You’ve got to wear gloves
Get out of my head!

Repeat Chorus

On and on we ride, I’ll be your genie tonight
Far into the night, I need some gasoline

(Gina G, Johnny X, John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
I wanna ride with the wind in my hair
Not a care if you dare come with me
Hey you thrill seeker, daredevil, earth shaker
Wanna go wild and crazy?
I got a taste for winning in the race
Staring at the face of danger
Don’t be mistaken, I am not your angel
Waiting for a change...

Chorus
Cos I can be reckless
I can be reckless

Verse 2
I’m gonna fly, like a bird in the night
I don’t care if you are there, believe me
Non stop I’m moving, pushing till the last
A spirit so divine, within me
Now is the time for miracles divine
Stranger things are what we live for
Who do you think you’re dealing with my dear
I know what’s on your mind...

(John von Ahlen)

Vers 1
Lass mich alleine, mein Haar ist nass
Ich trinke Wein, und ich habe spaß!
Ich kann fliegen so sehr hoch
Schöne Augen wie ein blauer koch Topf
Fang den Hut ist mein Lieblingsspiel
Mein Arsch ist weich wie ein xenophil
Ein Herz aus Stein in der Sommerzeit
Habe ich gesagt, Es tut mir leid?

Chor
Über Ding
Gib dir etwas. Zeit für dich
Über Ding
Gib mir Leben. Zeit für mich

Vers 2
Ich bin ein Mann mit einer grünen Nase
Heißes Wasser gibt mir eine Schmerzblase
Wir machen Urlaub in Blankenese
Mit scharfem Senf und Leberkäse

ein Geschenk an dich
Ich höre das Signal, das heilige Signal
es ruft nach dir

Track Name: The Future: THE FUTURE
(Jeffo Bang, John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
Staring through windows, crumpled up cellophane
Thunderclap car crash, and it’s starting to rain
Crepsucular skyline, Iridescent horizon
Fluorescence in motion, like a neon lit diamond

Pre Chorus
Tell me do you feel like trying something new?
Rearrange the timeline, only if you don’t mind

Chorus
The future arrived (the future arrived)
Where were you (where were you)
The future is gone (the future is gone)
So what’s new (so what’s new)
If you find something new, don’t deny what you can do
The future’s bright, I can see the whitest light, our destiny

Verse 2
With polarized eyeballs, the palest of celadon
When fractals are decayed, then beauty will be gone
Liquid crystal parallellograms, kaleidoscopic retina
A palimpsest of holograms, exploding into nebula

Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Somebody put naphthalene, into the Ice Machine
Subatomic particles, some were pink and others green
Organic crystallography, disturbing the complexity
Synthetic iconography, a collapsing of integrity

Repeat Chorus

End Chorus
The future arrived (right on time)
Where were you (out of sight)
The future is gone (I don’t mind)
So what’s new (we say goodnight)
If you find, something new
Don’t deny, what you can do
The future’s bright, I can see
The whitest light, our destiny
Track Name: Resurrection: RESURRECTION
(John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
I wanna fly
Deep in the night
Pre Chorus
I feel alive and deep inside there’s you
I can’t deny the feeling we both knew

Chorus
Resurrection
Don’t interfere, my intention is clear
Resurrection
Don’t interfere, my attention is near
Resurrection
Don’t interfere, my intention is clear
Resurrection
Don’t interfere, my attention is near

Coda
So near, and dear
My attention is real
So feel and deal
My intentions are real

I can’t deny
You hypnotise

Track Name: Hurricane: HURRICANE
(Johnny X, John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
I never imagined that I’d be crying tears for you
Now you’re gone I don’t know what to do, woah
The sun and the rainfall are asking me to choose
But I don’t know, what is there left to lose, woah
Pre Chorus
I feel you like a storm, you’re unpredictable
I feel that hurricane, I feel that hurricane

Chorus
I should have known it from the start
A storm has come to take my heart
The clouds have spoken, like a hurricane I’m broken
Now you’ve left me in the dark, I feel like I could fall apart
A love forsaken, like a hurricane you’re breaking me apart

Coda
Apart, apart, you tear me apart
Apart, apart, you tear me apart
Oh way-o
Like a hurricane you’re breaking me apart

Verse 2
A flood of emotion, though it hurts to see the truth
I need shelter, protection from you
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8

I just wanna feel alive again
Tear it all apart and start again
The sun will rise, the rain will fall
It’s what I’ve got to do
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Coda
Repeat Coda
Track Name: New Light (Rotersand vs Timo van Laak Rework Edit): NEW LIGHT (ROTERSAND VS TIMO VAN LAAK REWORK EDIT)
(John von Ahlen)

Verse 1
What happens when I turn the dial
I want to know at any price
A new light dawns
A brand new days begins
There was a time when conscience rang
It used to talk and talk all night
I feel that time has left me long ago

Chorus
One touch and then you’re nothing
Follow me, there you are
One touch and then you’re nothing
Follow me, there you are

Verse 2
I want to create many things
I want to feel what others feel
I want to be a part of something more
But when I mix the chemicals
I maybe get the balance wrong
I feel the darkness crawling from within

Repeat Chorus

Middle 8
A new light dawn
A new light dawn
A new light dawn

A Secret Place
by xPropaganda

supported by 17 fans who also own “Genesis”

From the first time I saw Propaganda on The Tube (I think) in the early eighties to stumbling on Dr Mabuse on Now 3 I’ve loved their sound. Along with Art of Noise they helped to introduce me to ZTT but I digress. Propaganda for me combine incredible music with genius production and orchestration. I’m no musician but this band (in both its incarnations) have enriched my life immeasurably. Why does it hurt when my heart misses the beat? Steve Thomas
