THE ELECTRIC STATE (Official Music Video) Simon Stålenhag Novel Lyrics Ft. Brian Benedict & Celine Shephard
"The Electric State" is an original song inspired by Simon Stålenhag's haunting novel, The Electric State. This track captures the desolate journey through a futuristic world of forgotten machines and memories. With beautifully haunting background vocals and composition by Celine Shepard, the song weaves in melancholic melodies and powerful lyrics to bring the novel’s story and setting to life. I’ve produced and performed the music and vocals, aiming to capture the emotional depth of Michelle's journey in The Electric State. This piece is a tribute to the mystery, nostalgia, and quiet resilience found in Stålenhag’s captivating narrative.
Lyrics:
[Verse]
Wandering through the empty streets,
In a world that’s lost its heartbeat,
Flickering lights, abandoned signs,
Echoes of a life that’s left behind.
Wires and steel under crimson skies,
Broken dreams in hollow eyes,
But I still search for what remains,
Through electric storms and acid rain.
[Chorus]
In the electric state, where shadows roam,
I’m looking for a place that feels like home.
Through the rust and ash, the neon glow,
I'll keep moving, though I don’t know
Where this road will lead, or what I'll find,
In the ruins of a world we left behind.
