about

Revolving broad synth strokes introduce a rhythmic striking guitar that sets the pace of this dark electro-beat scape.
Fragile yet rooted vocals sing of anarchic sublimated anger..that calls us to take time back..they meld into a heavy bass driven groove, hints of dub, drum and bass with a scathing guitar lead…
smashing up clocks has never seemed such a good idea...

Leonheart was inspired by factory workers protests of the 1820/ 30s. Amongst the many acts of protest, factories workers fought against the installation of clocks regulating their time and their lives.

Smash Up The Clocks is a song, video and accompanying art works from artist /musician Leonheart and producer Tigersonic www.tigersonic.com.

We are proud to be supported by Tom Robinson on the BBC Introducing show on Radio 6. This has been played four times now by him! It has also been played on the arts radio station, Resonance FM & Croydon Radio & No Alternative Radio in the U.S.

lyrics

To smash up the clocks, to reach inside and pull out the cogs,
That measure my life, and let them all spill, let them glide across the floor,
just to keep things still, for just a little while..more
I’m going to throw away my watch, so that I’m blind to,
the tender tick tocks that has my life in its noose.
Stealing my attempts to gather up and muster
so I’ll take my sweet time and a break to cut it.
Because the hands I relied upon, won’t give me time anymore,
Because the hands I relied upon, won’t give me time anymore.
To smash up the clocks because it’s not too late,
To rescue, to resuscitate, to argue for, to demonstrate,
we need some time out for this delicate magnificence,
this delicate magnificence
