lyrics

Beautiful World
Written by John von Ahlen

Verse 1
Sadness and mystery
Are part of our destiny

Bridge
Round and round the same old story
Broken hearts aren't always lonely
You and I will be together
Standing side by side

Chorus
Hold me now just don't let go
We don't what the future holds
It's such a beautiful world
That we are leaving
(oh no, oh no)

It's okay, just take my hand
We walk into a promised land
It's such a beautiful world
Just look around you
(oh no, oh no)

Verse 2
Regrets, enough for two
And pleasure, so much to do

Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus

Middle 8
How many times can you leave a broken world behind?
So maybe it's wrong
But sometimes you've got to be cruel or be kind

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

Fukanzen'na Ongaku
by Your Silent Face

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

A Secret Place
by xPropaganda

supported by 14 fans who also own “Beautiful World”

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. ❤ bazgray

Monsters
by Empathy Test

supported by 12 fans who also own “Beautiful World”

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💪🏽 Fredschuit
