I AM THE ISLAND (Escape from the Robot Factory) ~ Remix by Dead Red Velvet
LYRICS:
I am the island you need
My shores are here for you to sleep
My trees are here to cover you
To protect you from rain and sleet
I can make all kinds of things
For you to take, without the strings
I am the island you need
But there’s a tremor in me
It’s just underneath
It’s just underneath.
I feel a tremor in me
I want a release
I want a release
A collection of creatures
Beautiful, monstrous features
All of them here in servitude
With gratitude, you can be sure
I have placed all of them here
For you to love, no need to fear
I am the island you need
But there’s a tremor in me
It’s just underneath
It’s just underneath.
I feel a tremor in me
I want a release
I want a release

What happens when we offer offer the bare bones of our music to our very accomplished musical friends? You get a fantastic genetic mash of influences that breathe new life into our work. One part us, one part them...The Mongrel Mixes is a colourful collection of Johnny Hollow songs, re-imagined by a diverse set of composers and djs. This project was produced and managed with band member Vincent Marcone at the helm making sure the vibe of this album fit nicely into Johnny Hollow's World. As a side note, Johnny Hollow's main composer, Janine White, completes the album, rethinking their song "Firefly" by digging deep into her classical roots and re-scoring the piece with orchestral elements.
To emphasize this track, The Mongrel Mixes is released with a stunning stop motion animation short film/ music video based "Firefly". This film was completely funded by our Patrons and Fans!
