Paradise Written by Lillia Mendoza & John von Ahlen Intro It's gonna be like Paradise x2 Verse 1 We were standing at a cross road I felt so torn apart I was standing alone in the rain And you were just another lonely heart Pre Chorus We are crossing over the rivers of life You think the other side, would be like paradise But we are still two very lonely hearts Living on the other side of a bridge over water Chorus The time has come to let you go Let you go The time has come to let you go Let you go Verse 2 We were drifters in the dark, searching for love Drawn to each other by the need of another We walked into the unknown together Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus Middle 8 I'm gonna let you go (x8) Pre Chorus 2 The time has come to let you go, to let you go (x4)

Change of Heart Written by John von Ahlen Chorus Ah! I don’t know if I really believe it How everything is falling apart Maybe it was time to be leaving? Cos I guess you had a change of heart Verse 1 I can’t shake the feeling You keep me believing Monday was a brand new start And you played your part Pre Chorus It won’t be long, till you sing this song! Time will mend a broken heart And I can make a brand new start And so, maybe... Verse 2 You don’t know the feeling You stopped me believing Tuesday with a broken heart And I played the part Middle 8 A conscience on the run it doesn’t seem like very fun But the child inside of you it seems to share a different view Many different men have acted shameful in the past But when Karma takes a bite you’ll see that I am right and maybe...

A Question of Love Written by John von Ahlen Verse 1 Take all that you want Maybe Not more than enough Lately The stars up above Changing And down here on earth Same thing Pre Chorus Time is ending It's hardly worth a mention Even so I should I call to your attention Our love is dying I can see it in your eyes Those who adored you Clearly now despised Chorus Don't break my heart I've had more than enough Please don't take me there again If it's a question of love Or it's just not enough Then the message is clear Verse 2 There's nothing inside Empty Take all that you want Blame me A greater divide Massive That moment of lust Passive

Pressure Point Written by John von Ahlen Verse 1 There's a darker need Deep inside of me Give me what I want Give me what I need There's another world That we cannot see Made of pure delight Just for you and me Pre Chorus There's always pain, this is how it's meant to be Then there's the promise of our new found destiny There's so much life and there's so much promise Give me what I need Take the pain from me. Chorus Heart to Heart You're the one Soul to Soul Like the sun Mind control Set me free You're my destiny Give me what I need Verse 2 Take it all away I don't want to feel All the emptiness This is what is real In this masquerade There's no easy way Maybe I should fade Or should I decay? Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus

Overdrive feat Ian Burden Written by John von Ahlen Verse 1 You shut the door, then let me in We contradict everything It's the way we live This is our modern life You comb your hair, then change your mind I feel the frame, it's so sublime And delectable I just want to be free Chorus Dreaming all night Blissful delight Feel the magic Never tragic Feel the passion It's the fashion! Hold me so tight Take me tonight Verse 2 You feel the edge, and you take your time You turn around and you're still inclined To go Overdrive Like a flash in the night I've had enough, but I take some more I think I know it and I'm never sure If it's worth the time You don't know what it's like Repeat Chorus Middle 8 Find the things that you like Take the time tonight do it right Make it real the change in your life Then your soul will be revealing Find the things that you like Take the time to find that you might Make it real the change in your life Then your soul will be revealing Repeat Chorus

Last Year At Marienbad Written by John von Ahlen Chorus (The Woman) Don't know if really love you Don't know if I need to tell you Maybe if we meet again I may remember A love so tender Verse 1 (Man X) Darling it's so nice to see you Tell me everything that's new Can't believe a year has passed It's almost like you never knew Pre Chorus I feel I should tell you I cannot remember Our feelings so tender (It can't be true!) You say that we're leaving I'm hardly believing The plans that we made for (Our rendezvous!) Verse 2 (Man M) Don't know if I need to tell you I'm not like the other man No confidence or strategy Playing with no masterplan Repeat Pre Chorus Repeat Chorus Middle 8 Knowing how I feel Feeling so unreal Maybe I was wrong to tell you Doing it for love Baby it's so hard Knowing that you don't remember Maybe this is wrong Knowing what you done Baby I should stay away from you Feeling how I feel Trying to keep it real Maybe it's the end of all we know Monologue I watched you play your cards And wondered "Can you lose? Or will HE win?" You like the fear in me, especially that evening The bracelet is a sign of force It kept the memory of you alive Lost, forever, alone (with me) Repeat Chorus Repeat Middle 8

about

Dear Parralox Fans!

It's been a long time coming, but we are pleased to finally announce the release of Dubculture, a remixed version of our album Subculture.

This Bandcamp release has 6 bonus tracks that aren't included on the standard digital release, and we hope you really enjoy them.

There are some songs which feature Lillia Mendoza, who sadly passed away in 2019. Lillia actually plays a big part in Parralox, insofar that she was a band member of the group "Nova" that she and John were signed to in the 90s on Sony Music Australia.
Nova was a prototype of Parralox, and you will soon hear a few of the songs that Nova recorded, with a new Parralox touch!

Thank you all for your ongoing support. Even though we have been a little quiet on social media, rest assured we have been working very hard behind the scenes for our new releases coming up.

Exciting times!

Hope you all have a wonderful day,

Xx John and Johanna.

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
