50 Years Ago 04:49
There’s nothing left we might as well give up trying News guy wept he said the earth was really dying
 50 years ago we held the future in our hands 50 years ago we drew the answer in our plans
 Everyone sees themselves walking around with no-one else Shut out the light hide from the sky it’s a form of defence
 50 years ago we held the future in our hands 50 years ago we drew the answer in our plans
 Someone else to blame there’s always someone else to blame

The hard man is the puppet master he’s pulling the strings Follow the pale moth away from the flames He wants to be king 
The world is eating itself alive But you’re blinded by the sun Count the lies from 1 to 45 You’re blinded by the sun 
The city at night is no match for the power of your light Black and white like the film you made Of your own satellite 
The world is eating itself alive But you’re blinded by the sun Count the lies from 1 to 45 You’re blinded by the sun

Receiving your transmission late into the night Voices on the airwaves soon it will light You’re ready to come home now But something isn’t right 
You’re looking at the fuel gauge you’re looking at the clock Computer says you’re ok but you know that you’re not You’re ready to come home now But something isn’t right 
A message in a bottle from an interstellar flight Spin into infinity soon be out of sight She’s ready to come home now But something isn’t right

A story to tell there was a girl who looked to the sky See how she fell under the spell and learned to fly
 Valentina fly
 They promised her the moon they promised her the sky

Spacewalking 03:34
I try to understand how a man can hate a man for the colour of skin We’ll push against the wall and wait for it to fall it’s time to begin
 Let’s go spacewalking
 We don’t have the time and I don’t have the words no more I want the world the know it’s time to let it go or we’re gonna regret
 Let’s go spacewalking
 If walking the stars is s a dream then maybe we’re dreamers A dance in the sky can be real if we’re believers

we cannot walk alone until you’re feee at last
My freedom is bound to yours

Let’s go spacewalking

Future Radio 04:37
I’m on a rocket ship a million miles alone An interstellar trip I’m never going home Stars sing their song to me The planets belong to me Beyond the reach of gravity I’m falling through time I leave the world behind Future Radio! music in the atmosphere Soundwave Stereo! the future’s already here Here on the radio I’m in a satellite I ride the comets tail Across the sky at night Into the sun I sail The wireless will set you free be anything you want to be A universal symphony I’m falling through time I leave the world behind One Small Step Becomes A Giant Leap And Sound That Happened Yet Will Set Us Free Future Radio! music in the atmosphere Soundwave Stereo! the future’s already here Here on the radio Receiving in Stereo We’re Watching The World Below

Tiny fragile ball of life be my only friend tonight When you see it all from here the overview effect appears 
Let me take you to the moon let me take you to the stars This is not the end we haven’t travelled far 
Starman flying high tonight safe within his satellite Look beyond the atmosphere paper thin no frontier 
Let me take you to the moon let me take you to the stars This is not the end we haven’t travelled far Now our world becomes, now our world becomes so clear, so clear 
Let me take you to the moon let me take you to the stars This is not the end we haven’t travelled far 
Tiny fragile ball of life be my only friend tonight When you see it all from here the overview effect appears

about

Retro-futuristic but undeniably human, Circuit3 is the alias of Irish electronic artist and songwriter Peter Fitzpatrick. Using analogue synthesizers as a vehicle for lyrical storytelling, this music is heavily influenced by the classic era of electronic pop.

A childhood fascination with space provides the emotional narrative arc for 'Technology For The Youth', a collection of crisp electronic pop songs and atmospheric instrumentals created with an enviable array of analogue synthesizers. It focuses squarely on that period before digital synthesis, just as the lyrics are informed by those endeavours in space exploration pre-dating the first Space Shuttle left Cape Canaveral.

Circuit3 debuted with the 'siliconchipsuperstar' LP (2018), followed by the album 'The Price Of Nothing & The Value Of Everything' (2019), praised by no less than Martyn Ware (The Human League, Heaven17). More recently, Circuit3 also released a remix created of Rodney Cromwell 'Opus Three'.

For Fitzpatrick, this was the album he always hoped he would make and one that he has poured his entire heart and soul into. 'Technology For The Youth' is electronic pop constructed from the brave ambitions of forward-thinking scientists and politicians, and the remembered hopes, dreams and fascinations of a young Dublin boy.
