about

For the Steamstock Caravan Kickstarter in early 2013, I offered to make a theme for the character of anyone who donated at a certain level. One of the patrons was Sean Peck--aka Pecktec--who is a terrific videographer and produces a lot of great videos about steampunk bands.

His character's backstory is that of a timetraveling gentleman journalist. This song was a lot of fun to write and allowed me to test out my new MPC 1000 music production machine.

lyrics

This here's a story about a man named Peck....

A reporter by trade
Looking for his big break
He met a guy named Tesla
Who'd solved a great dilemma!
He'd made time travel
Convenient and practical

Peck's passion was a musical mission
Now ages of sound awaited him
He packed his camera
In the chronotraveller
Sparks filled the air
As he settled in the chair

Break:
Peck looked deep into forever
And then he pulled the lever
Now he's a

Chorus:
Time-travelin'
Videographin'
Journalist and
Gentleman
With a little luck
And a lot of skill
He makes the past
Come alive again

He's a time-travellin'
Videographin'
Journalist and Gentleman
With Tesla's ride
And music in mind
He makes the world
Sound alive again
