Yo, I'm here from the future / and I've travelled from the nineties
twenty five years at a constant velocity
I'll show you the past if you just come with me
Things are about to get timey-wimey
If you've been fishin or a wishin for a mission choose ours
all across our spacial and temporal journey we scour
To meet / Rhetorical / Historical / Figures of great power
So just wait till we hit 88 miles per hour
CHORUS
Here we go
Back through time
90s, 50s, Age of Piracy, Ancient Greece
(Roll it back)
No one knows
Who we'll find
Disney, Dostoevsky, Presley, Socrates
In a chair / or a hot tub / or a phone booth / or Delorian
Eras Roman / Jurassic / a classic / or Victorian
Seen more time loops in our prime than any prime-time Tralfadorian
Solve a paradox on my night watch, roll back the clocks and do it all again
Future Perfect or Days Of Future Past
Every day's groundhog day and we're having a blast
And when things go awry and I'm under attack
I'll be out in a flash but you know I'll be back
We don't give a damn about a consistent travel theory
We're a soft scifi time travelling duo / I'm him, and he's me
And unlike Hermione in Harry Potter 3
Fourth Dimension? / Fourth wall? / Pfft / They crumble before me!
CHORUS
And before you ask, go take a class, no you can't change the past, and what's happened has passed, so at last, when you make a break through, and take a mate through, try to reach the Steins Gate well you...
Well you've always been then, and it's no coincidence when, try again and again, the day happens the same way, every day, to your dismay, you may have brought about the thing you tried to change
The latest album by The Mechanisms, a group of storytelling space-pirates who retell tales of mythology as epic folk/prog/rock concept albums. This one's about Viking mythology, on a train, in space. Ben Below
The first album I've produced, and played many instruments on to boot - another storytelling concept album from one of the Mechanisms, R L Hughes. Ben Below
The collaborative album writing challenge with colleagues, to write a 15 song album in a month. It turned out super sweet, and I'm in a good two thirds of the tracks in some capacity! Ben Below
supported by 62 fans who also own “Back Through Time”
TTBT has some of my favorite songs written by The Mechs. Iphis is my personal favorite due to its ties with Greek Mythology, but it's definitely an album I have on repeat constantly. yumeinati
The UK upstarts' debut veers from sunny, psychedelic folk to bristling post-punk with reckless abandon without ever missing a beat. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 18, 2024
