Goodbye Berlin (Fused Remix)

from Goodbye Berlin by Parralox

/

about

“Goodbye Berlin”, the new single from Parralox, the electronic pop band fronted by out singer John von Ahlen, is a synthpop track about running away from a lover. It’s darker and more introspective than the band’s recent release, “Tears of Faith”.

Like its predecessor, is also based on real life. “I wrote the song after a tense visit with a friend in Berlin, It got to the point where I literally had to get the hell out of Berlin as quickly as a I could. I mean, I just didn’t want to be there.”

Some of the lyrics are taken directly from text messages von Ahlen sent to friends at the time, including the song’s opening line. I escaped to London a few days later where I wrote the song in a day, taking elements of what happened and turning it into a bitter-sweet love song,”

Johanna Gervin, who sings the lead vocals on ‘Goodbye Berlin’, scored the opportunity by being at the right place at the right time. “A few days after writing the song in London, I was in Manchester for a gig.”

lyrics

Goodbye Berlin
Written by John von Ahlen

Chorus 1
Goodbye Berlin
The world is turning
Away from all that we love
You know it like I do, like I do

Verse 1
I spent 3 days walking in the rain
You take me into hell and then back again

Pre Chorus 1
Don’t keep me here, I can’t bear to stay!
Oh I’ll come back again, on another day

Repeat Chorus

Chorus 2
So Goodbye Berlin
My heart is burning
To run from all that I love
You know that I can’t stay or remain

Verse 2
A darker world, deeper underground
That only you can find, only in your mind

Repeat Pre Chorus 1

Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2

Pre Chorus 2
Just for now we should say goodbye
To keep the love alive, let the Eagle fly

Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2

Repeat Chorus 1 (BVs only)
Repeat Chorus 2
