I had to score it on staff paper to preserve it. It was not until 2001 where I rediscovered it and wanted to turn it into something. I was into <strong>VNV Nation <\/strong>and IDM at the time, so it was done in that style. The original composition had a basic melody which I was ultimately unhappy with, thus it was not included for the 2001 track and my view of the song was that it was remained consistently unfinished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years later, a band I was associated with called <strong>Ob3lisk<\/strong> was writing songs and I was assisting in the studio. I suggested they write lyrics for this and use it on the album. So it took on the title <strong>Out Of Time<\/strong> and the structure of this iteration of the song remained basically the same but with a proper melody line this time. I later remixed the album version, which was completely re-produced in the style of the band, into a version which more closely resembled the 2001 production I originally did. The lyrical content of this version was split into both male and female vocals making it a kind of duet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While compiling the <strong>Candor<\/strong> album in 2022, I decided to redo this track, as I felt it was one of my strongest compositions. I used the original lyrics from the Ob3lisk version but rewrote some of them slightly to make the subject matter a little more acute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyrically, this song is open to interpretation, but you can assume that the underlying theme is one of reaching a state of stoicism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lock\">Lock 101<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bloodwork<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Perpetual Emotion Machine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the original song done in FastTracker in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1371953959&#038;color=%23acb4ac&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>written and produced by <strong>Perpetual Emotion Machine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lock\">Lock 102<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Out Of Time<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ob3lisk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The version of the song produced and co-written by the band.
