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

Tears of Faith
Written by Lillia Auzou & John von Ahlen

Intro
Tears of faith, there are tears of faith.
Tears of faith, there are tears of faith.

Verse 1
Tears of faith have lined my face
And over the years
I've lived in a world that can be so cruel

Pre Chorus
Will our true love bring us back, or will we fade to black?
Will our true love bring us back, or shall we all turn back?

Chorus 1
I'll be waiting for your love
I'll be waiting for your love

Verse 2
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

Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 2
Amazing love, amazing love, amazing love, amazing love.
Amazing love, amazing love, amazing love, amazing love.

Middle 8
For your love, for your love....For your love, for your love....
(Tears of faith, there are tears of faith)

Repeat Pre Chorus
Repeat Chorus 1 + 2

Coda
Will our true love bring us back..la la la la.
Will our true love bring us back..la la la la.

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

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

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

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
