Reflections

If I knew then what I know now

Was it just something, something in your smile

I was so sure; I knew it all

I really did, that's how it had to be you

 

Looking back at our destiny

Was it not just serendipity

Thinking about it now

Looking back through time

Life is a mirror today

How we changed, you and me

How absurd, only now can I see

Reflections take you to your soul

Find your spirit, that's your goal

Understanding it now

Looking back through time

Life is a mirror today

A mirror today

Finally, you can be free

Finally, you understand me

Finally, you can be free

Free

Our Career
& original song versions

"Our Career" was originally written and recorded in 1983 using the infamous cassette to cassette bouncing technique. There were no sequencers available so it was all played live and overdubbed with each bounce. The main instruments used were a Roland Dr55 drum machine, a Roland Juno 6 polyphonic synth and a Jen SX1000 mono synth. The only "outboard" gear available was a Melos analogue echo. The second incarnation of the song came in 1986 when we started to play live gigs, by that stage we had a better drum machine (Roland TR-707) and a polysynth with memories (Roland Juno 106). The most notable addition at that point was a Roland MC-202 sequencer, which allowed sequenced bass lines (Roland SH2) as well as sequenced lead lines using the inbuilt MC-202 mono synth, all synced with the drum machine. We also had a Casio CZ-101 adding further colour to our sound. Moving to the present version of the song, it was recreated using Logic and various soft synths as well as some of the original equipment. A few "risers" were included to enhance & polish this version and the lyrics were revised, but it is essentially the same song. Have a listen to the various versions ...and see for yourself!
