New Light
(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 (3 times)

Don't Listen To Me
(John von Ahlen)
Chorus
Don't listen to me, don't know what I see
You don't know what it's like to be lonely
Don't listen to me, see the end in tears
Gotta learn somehow
Verse 1
If I didn't love you, I wouldn't keep a broken heart
If I didn't know you, I wouldn't want to be apart
Bridge
5 nights alone now, better off somehow
5 times alone now , better off somehow
Verse 2
If I ever told you, I know you wouldn't want to hear
All the things I promised, and all the things I know you fear
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8 (not in official version)
Feel my pain, call my name
All alone, once again

Touched By The Hand Of God
(New Order / Arthur Baker)
Verse 1
I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn’t look at you
I guess you knew it but I never realized
That we were through
And now Im down here all alone
With every feeling that I own
You can’t take that away
And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create
Will come to you someday
Chorus
And I was touched
By the hand of god
Never knew it
But of course I was
Verse 2
I never hoped to do the things in this world
I wanted to
Because everything I own
It belongs to you
I never looked at you in a sexual way
In my life before
And I’ve never woken up like this
So desperately before
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus

Acrimony
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
Light moving faster now
Red getting closer now
Pre Chorus
Make the first move and I’ll do the same
The city talks to me at night
We all dream of life beyond this plane
Replace the sadness, it’s all you can do
Chorus
But there is someone who will protect you
Who understands you, be there beside you
Through all the sadness and pain that follows
Please close your eyes now, ignore the horror
Verse 2
Blue, blue so long ago
Flesh feel the afterglow
Pre Chorus
Make the first move and I’ll do the same
The city talks to me at night
We all dream of life beyond this plane
Replace the sadness, with cautionary gladness
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
No more echo of the pain that a broken heart sustains
Will I ever love again?
In the darkness I must go, feel my fear it starts to grow
Will I ever breathe again?

Machines
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
You gave me nothing, I gave you enough
Why can’t I trust you, it’s more than enough
I send you letters, I save you my heart
I made a promise, I fell from the start
We all need lovers, we all need a friend
It’s not a science please say it again
Like falling crystals my heartache it grows
I feel the passion this time I should go
Chorus
I, I’ve fallen in, I’ve fallen in love with my friend, loyal friend
And I, I fall in love
I know you’re not afraid to fall to fall in love again
I, I’ve fallen in, I’ve fallen in love with my friend, loyal friend
And I, I’ve fallen in, I’ve fallen in love with my friend again
Verse 2
We go to Berlin, we travel by plane
We go to London again and again
Two steps forward then two steps back
We’re still hidden but we like it like that
And ten years later we stick to our plan
I’m a woman and you are a man
We’re still together and we are still friends
I love this journey please don’t let it end
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
We feel, mmm yeah yeah
Do you feel the love, we feel the love yeah
Do you feel the love, I feel the love
Do you feel the love
There’s someone calling out
for your love
It’s calling all around you

The Hunger
(John von Ahlen)
Chorus
Give me someone who can show me what is real
Give me someone who is feeling what I feel
When the hunger starts to show
And the hurting starts to grow
And I feel there’s nothing left in the world
Verse 1
Find my life, even though I try
Try to stay alive
Even though I
Though I find a light
Maybe I was right
Hope is never undone
I pray
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2
Why should I
Have to start the fire
Maybe there is someone
Waiting for the, for the time when I
Dare to speak my mind
Going undercover again!
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
Maybe I deserve the loneliness
The feeling of just one caress
Is something that I need to find
But somehow in the emptiness
There is a feeling I am blessed
But still I want to find someone

Miracles
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
Strange, I thought I heard you say
Weird, the games that people play
Pre Chorus
When you need a little love
Take it from my heart
Take it from my heart
Standing in the rain
I watch the fire burn
Watch the fire burn
Chorus
Who knew we’re dancing in the firing line
Sometimes you never get it right
Who knew we’re dancing in the shining light
I know a miracle has happened tonight
Verse 2
Fine, I’ll stand here on my own
Pride, I’ve got nothing to lose
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
I feel the rhythm, strange times we live in
No time for romance, we live and take a chance on love

Promised Land
(John von Ahlen)

Time waits for no one, but I’m waiting for you
I change the whole world for you
I break for no one, but I’m breaking for you
Five days of sorrow waiting for you
Waiting for you
Bridge
I want the feeling, so make it real
You won’t believe me, it don’t break the deal
Now I’m believing it, so make me feel
Chorus
We come together in a promised land
We live forever when we make a stand
We come together in a promised land
Now if we start believing we can make it real
Verse 2
Like a crazy diamond I’m shining on you
Fly me to freedom, take me away
We search for something, but we never know why
I know you can feel it deep in your heart
Deep in your heart
Repeat Bridge

Middle 8
I want the feeling, the feeling, the feeling
You won’t believe me, believe me, believe me

So Special
(John von Ahlen)

I'm coming on home, don't keep me waiting too long baby
That there's something so special about you

So special, it's all because of you

It's so special, I'm coming home to you
(In the whole world there is, no one just like you)

Ancient Times
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
Don’t listen to voices in the dark
We fear them but fear it never lasts
Pre Chorus
In ancient times I crossed the lines for you
I touched your mind and hoped to find a truth
Chorus
Is this the end, I keep on falling apart
Ohh ohh
In love again, don’t keep on breaking my heart
Ohh ohh
Verse 2
No longer will terror grip my heart
Sad parting but sadness never lasts
Pre Chorus 2
In ancient times I crossed the lines for you
I touched your mind and hoped to find a truth
Nothing is easy now
Repeat Chorus

Please spare a little time for me
Pity for the fool with the hole in your heart
When dawn breaks I know I will be
Curled up all alone and afraid in the dark

I Sing The Body Electric
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
When the river turns against you,
And the rhythm starts to hurt you
There must be someone there who knows how you feel

Turn your love around
Turn your love around
Suddenly you found what you've been missing
(and then you say to me)

I sing the body electric
I sing the body electric

When forever turns to never
And the promise, that you held so dear
Becomes a shadow of all our pain
Repeat Pre Chorus

The Heaven we know cannot be defined, but we must sing the praises of angels tonight

When you're a million miles away
If I had one thing to say

I can live without the pain
Then again...

Show you the love that's deep inside of me

Love Is Enough
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
I give you more, it’s never enough
What can I do, unlucky in love
I build a Pre Chorus, I travel so far
But then I still can’t get to you
Pre Chorus
Maybe I should find another broken heart tonight
Or maybe I should find the real you
The real you
Chorus
Do you want me now, I gave you everything I can
Or do you want my love, because I think that love is enough
Verse 2
A certain look it travels so far
I try to reach you wherever you are
But it aint easy as a matter of fact
You know I still can’t get to you

Failure
(John von Ahlen)
Verse 1
There’s a failure to improve, to repeat your doom
There’s a stain to be removed, a mark on you
Pre Chorus
See they don’t understand, what you’re like in your own mind
Something special, something good, but with everything to lose
Chorus
Here comes another lie, why do you even try
It took so long now I, I know you are a
Failure, failure, failure, failure
Verse 2
At first you seemed so good, I learned the truth
Behind the chemicals, there lurks a fool
Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Middle 8
So you understand, why your golden hand failed the test
To beat the best
There’s a lesson there, that I want to share,
patiently and physically

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
Parralox recommends:

by Your Silent Face
This 5 track EP has been inspired by the crossover between ambient, techno, and pure sound design. Sounds amazing. John.

A Secret Wish is still an album I play to this day. It has never waned. I actually think it has got better with age. I'm not a fan generally of live recordings but this is one I love listening to. And Disziplin is on here too. Just as I remember it on The Tube. Who could ask for anything more? Just wish I would have been there but this is the next best thing. ❤

Bandcamp is my favorite app. Without Bandcamp I would missed out on a lot of great music like Empathy Test! A wonderful album. Occasionally bombastic with nice synths and the voice of Isaac Howlett on top. Well done guys💪🏽

Lean, cutting synthwave with an industrial edge from this California artist, with icy keys slashing across thumping beats.

Synthwave goes pop on the latest from UK artist LAU: Irresistible cotton-candy vocal melodies, and electronics that go off like fireworks.
