They're 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 I'm 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 I'm 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

This is why I LOVE Radioparadise! I had never heard of this band, but now I have done a deeper dive and now have another “fav” artist! I get kind of a Pink Floyd vibe from these guys which is not bad at all!
Mondegreen time...I keep hearing the last lines as "the promise machine," which is weirdly appropriate.
Love the way this songs shifts moods
Reminds me a lot of the The Alan Parsons Project (i.e. Pink Floyd lite). Anyone remember him? He was also the sound engineer on Dark Side of the Moon.
This song did not play for some reason, despite refreshing my browser 3x; had to skip ahead
Bleak yet sexy. Morrissey was good with that, er, sensation.
Always loved this!
When I read the lyrics, this song grew on me.
After a hit of Hidden Pastry, I find this to be very tasty food for the neurons, indeed, Captain! This hits me deep, like a kind of Alan Parsons-techno-Floyd, and leaves me utterly Schpongled, ~Dig...
So glad to have this back in regular rotation.
Very trippy song. 8->9. Oh yeah.

very Pink Floyd...Great production. Very dynamic high quality recording too!

I lived in Scotland for a year and would walk to uni. The road that took me there was lined with Japanese cherry blossom trees. What a treat on the brisk spring mornings. One of the best times of my life. It's funny how this song sort of feeds into these memories. It normally works the other way round.
Thanks for keeping it in rotation. :)

This was a band I never got enough of, and back in 2016 I was wishing this group was still together.
Well here we are. More content please!! :)

Outstanding playlist Rebecca! Is why I donate.
It looks as if I've only joined recently, but I've been an RP fan for over 10 years now. On those days when I'm undecided what to listen to, I just turn on the puter and click! Most days actually ;-)

HITS ME LIKE A SHOT OF TEQUILA; leaves me trying to figure out what's moving, where we're going, and when it all will stop... Dig!

"the old lady dentist"? Gotta love those mondegreens...
Pretty universally liked here on RP...a rarity for the almost complete lack of 1's, 2's and 3's....not many tracks don't at least ruin 10% of the listening audience's day by being played against their wishes...

Lekker nummer
Another song by a band I would of probably never of heard if not for RP! I love every song I have heard by them. Kind of surprised this wasn't a sound track form Snowpiercer. Thanks Bill and Rebecca 
Man, that is one most excellent & moody AF song!

Younger Brother is exceptionally talented at making me want to sit and vibe and sing along and perhaps comment about it…
This song makes me want to do something street. Rather than go to the country club pool.
The Bourne theme is in there somewhere....I think... I like it.

Never heard of this band but I like the sound - a bit Porcupine Tree, and that's A Good Thing.
If you guys like this then really check out their first 2 albums, Vaccine is good but it's not a patch on Last Days of Gravity and A flock of Bleeps.
Simon Posford has done so much good stuff - I hear Shpongle on RP all the time - but In Dub by Hallucinogen and Hicksville by Celtic Cross have the most YB feel to his earlier stuff. Simon Posford is an electronic genius. Almost everything he has touched is electonic gold.

Huh? What's with all those genres I've never even heard of to the right? Just sounds mighty rich & fine. Would really dig this song driving at night through some strange woods, to achieve max effect. On a hot summer night. Getting to the point in my RP career by now that I get a feeling I've said that before, here, about this song. Whatever.

For an all-day train trip from Cartagena to Madrid this song was perfect.

If you dig this, scope out Departure from the Northern Wasteland by the genius progenitor of this genre, Michael Hoenig
How can I upvote this song from a 10? Every time I hear it I go into the space of "wow".

I thought I'd finally heard a good song from Train since their first album but no, this couldn't come from Train, only their younger brother.
Works just fine in bright, sunny 80 degree weather for me, You just need to turn the volume way up :-)

I listened this song back in 2011 for the first time and since then it doesn't get boring. Thanks RP for that!
ps: 6 years to figure out the train sound samples within the song, better late than later

I just watched Stranger Things on netflix (it's pretty good, btw) and the theme music is so similar to the intro to this song I had to check if Younger Brother did the score. Turns out it is a band called Survive. I haven't explored any of the rest of their catalog yet.
That's the end of that story... I know it didn't have much of a point, but not all stories do.
