There we were, the four of us, settled in that fateful night
Perfect strangers only sitting down for dinner, didn't know that it could change our life
In our apartment in the land of dream, where everything can only go right
Far outside the city walls, and far beyond the city lights
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
We laughed we joked, we drank, we smoked, in the land where time had frozen for it
A life lived slow in the orange glow, in the twilight of eternal sunset
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
First Dave fell for Lara, and Lara fell for me
We laughed it off, but I was falling for them both, and we were all a-falling for Marie
But love is not a secret to be shared with just one soul
And rather than quash our feelings down, we'd be four quarters of a larger whole
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
Cause when the sun goes down on Primrose Hill
We all need somebody to dream of
So we were inseparable for our miniscule eternity
No desire to attack the terrible fact, eventually we'd have to leave
One day a sudden sharp reminder, of the life before this waking dream
Absent mindedly check a calendar, discover how long it's been
Four years, four golden years
It's been four years, its' been four golden years
But every golden sunset has a corresponding sunrise
And when the time came for waking once again it wasn't long enough to say goodbye
A pit inside my stomach, and a vow again one day
When the sun goes down on London town, I'll find you all again, and find a way to stay

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 12 fans who also own “Eternal Sunset”
This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
Two slabs of surfy psych-rock instrumentals from a group that's been doing it longer than you've been alive, probably. Bandcamp New & Notable May 7, 2024
