Theyre all flashing past
So many others moving so fast
I feel my heart smoke
As we go under it and bow down
Nothing left on this island
Upon steel on steel
Through these cuts in me
Ive no question who was here first
Many dreams many lifetimes
Any of which could be me
Cept that im the one unable to move upon this machine
Upon this machine
Pardon caravan emotion
Loaded crowds just like me
I fell between the moments
I fell between the endings
Cuz when it runs around the windows
Nothing here is still
All the paths have collided
Through all these villages and hills
So many dreams so many lifetimes
Any of which could be me
Cept that im the one unable to move upon this machine
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one else.
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one else.
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one can help me now
Help me im stuck in this moving thing
Nothing is what it seems
No getting off this machine
So many others moving so fast
I feel my heart smoke
As we go under it and bow down
Nothing left on this island
Upon steel on steel
Through these cuts in me
Ive no question who was here first
Many dreams many lifetimes
Any of which could be me
Cept that im the one unable to move upon this machine
Upon this machine
Pardon caravan emotion
Loaded crowds just like me
I fell between the moments
I fell between the endings
Cuz when it runs around the windows
Nothing here is still
All the paths have collided
Through all these villages and hills
So many dreams so many lifetimes
Any of which could be me
Cept that im the one unable to move upon this machine
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one else.
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one else.
Theres no one else, no one else, no one else, no one can help me now
Help me im stuck in this moving thing
Nothing is what it seems
No getting off this machine

I'd never heard of any of these characters before, but I like Younger Brother, so I might have to backtrack and check into Simon Posford's music! This is why I love RP - everyone knows something about something, and when they put it forward, we all learn. I'm in a big ol' puddle of happy. We miss you so much, Cynaera... love this song... |

| rromulus | Posted: May 07, 2013 - 11:22 This song develops quite nicely. It has a catchy melody with a great use of sounds. I give it a solid 8. |

Thank you RP for the discovery !Yes. Younger Brother on RP is a bit like Porcupine Tree- you recognise it immediately, your brain says "Well, YB/PT again" and then you have to listen to the whole thing again as it's so damn good. Carry on, I say. Can't get enough of this. |

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Apr 02, 2013 - 16:51 Could almost mistake this opening for a Tangerine Dream composition. I would bet someone from Younger Brother heard a TD track and said "Hey, I like that sound..." Tangram, Force Majeur, and other 70s - 90s TD albums had the esthetic of this intro. Sounds don't die, they get recycled. |
| mkinnan (Kansas City) | Posted: Apr 02, 2013 - 16:50 8 times in 30 days, nothing is that good. |

| SteadyRollingMan (Miami, Florida) | Posted: Mar 06, 2013 - 06:27 Louder, by the end of this song the volume is maxed out, my foot is tapping, my voice is humming and I feel like throwing air punches! Wonderful song!  |

| RedTruk (Calgary) | Posted: Feb 11, 2013 - 20:25 Hypnotic, will have to listen to some more to understand comparison to the Pinksters. |
| fredriley (Nottingham, UK) | Posted: Feb 09, 2013 - 09:56 I've been on two long-distance (well, for the UK) train journeys lately and I really wish I'd had this song on my laptop to listen to, as it so well captures what I often think as I stare out of the window at the landscape scrolling by. This song gives me the willies, and that's a good thing - as the late great John Peel often said, good music should scare you a little. A rare 10 from the peripatetic Nottingham jury. There's a streaming site from which you can listen to some of YB's output, which is handy for me as, despite this lot being a UK band, I'm damned if I can find their CDs in any record shop, even the 'alternative' ones. |
| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Feb 09, 2013 - 09:55 Had to shove this up from 9 to 10. I don't have many 10s |

| AndyJ (Oregon) | Posted: Jan 11, 2013 - 12:05 The 25 second tease on Amazon does not provide a good guide to this song, album or other music... The layers are very well done. The ear worm leit motifs tie it together very well... This is a song hard to forget and it cycles again and again in memory... Trance music is what some reviewers called their other albums... Nothing wrong for a new world where people use machines for walking, running, exercise and seldom are out and about the broader world... I've bumped it to a "10"... Yes, If find it that good... |
