    There is a certain energy with this song. It's so raw, yet so mechanical. Like ya get the sounds of the ticking clocks and gears, but u also get the reverb of the acoustic guitar. Like you still get the hum of an overstrung guitar string with the perfection of the clockwork. Also the lyrics add another layer of realism. From a musical standpoint, it's near perfect!

    That Mr. McArthur's looked all over town,
    But he won't find me now for I'm off coastward bound.
    And I'm trading the smog for some fresh salt sea air
    And he'll never catch on that I'm there.
    I once was his apprentice, in the clock-making trade,
    And the miser made me work for every penny of my wage.
    'Til he found he could replace me with a clockwork machine,
    And he threw me right out on the street.
    I'm not the kind who would grovel and pray
    That he deign to recant and permit me to stay,
    So I cursed him and left and I solemnly swore that he'd pay.
    Now Mr. McArthur has very poor eyes,
    And he never did see me when he left work at night.
    And once in a while he would forget to check
    That his workshop back window was closed.
    No I'm not a burglar and I'm no vandal nor.
    The old man had to suffer, but I wanted something more:
    I wanted him to feel it and know it was me,
    And I knew that his clocks were the key.
    I sat in his workshop, my thoughts running wild,
    And it suddenly hit me, and I looked up and smiled
    For I knew that I'd have him and I knew that I'd do it in style.
    I tell you that clockwork's a powerful thing;
    There's a terrible strength in those tightly wound springs.
    And a gentleman's pocketwatch stays by his heart,
    And that's where the damage can start.
    Now I'm no machine but I can work when I choose,
    With hands good as any when I've something to prove.
    So I stayed up all night among cogs, springs and screws,
    And I didn't stop 'til I was through.
    I rigged up a watch to do more than just chime ,
    And I didn't balk once at the depth of my crime -
    A most perfect invention that still kept impeccable time.
    The next week a young man stopped by in the shop,
    Took a shine to a timepiece and paid on the spot.
    He wound it, and wore it, and at 6 on the dot
    He came to a messy and permanent stop.
    Now Mr. McArthur's got blood on his hands,
    And he barely made bail, he's a ruined man,
    And surely he knows who his downfall was planned by,
    It's all worked out like clockwork.

      NextPageGaming - Spring razors are the same idea but they're spring wound wires that are strong enough to slice through people. so basiclythe watch would release a ton of extremely sharp wires at a high speed which are deadly when they go off by foot let alone your heart. That said it should be noted dishonored isnt steampunk or clockwork.
      over all its all about whale oil so it kinda qualifies more as gaslamp and not the other too. maybe dieselpunk really really dieselpunk. Oh and the whale oil is glowing blue and the whales aren't actual whales....
      Its hard to pindown but theres no steam so people should stop calling it steampunk. But incorrect termiinology is just my petpeeve so what ever.

    I absolutely love The Clockwork Quartet. Each of their (admittedly few) songs tells a amazing tale, and can almost be interpreted as story telling AND music. Most (notice how I said most) of the music genres today *cough* pop *cough* feature singers complaining about how their boyfriend/girlfriend breaking up with them, only to then sing about in their next song the latest bombshell they picked up. Steampunk FTW!

    She knew that I did it, even as I tried
    To be a gentlemen, act the innocent boy
    But who would have guessed that her tears were of joy.

    This is fantastic! I never expected to find a steampunk type of band that has amazing storytelling that, honestly, highly reminds me of Tim Burton in a way.

    • @bavarianbanshee
      @bavarianbanshee 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I imagined it more that he rigged the watch so the mechanism would fail and one or more of the springs would break free and pierce the heart. That way, it would really seem like it was McCarthy's fault. The lyrics seem to support it, too.
      "I tell you that clockwork's a powerful thing;
      There's a terrible strength in those tightly wound springs.
      And a gentleman's pocketwatch stays by his heart,
      And that's where the damage can start."

    The song is about the industrial revolution but today we live in the AI revolution which is very much the same.

    Today - "The study of intelligent systems that could execute tasks and activities that would require human level intelligence."
