Industrial age blues and folk. James Jackson Holmes delivers acoustic songs for a decaying 21st Century society, making use of such crude industrial devices as electronic instruments, mobile phones and other machinery. Once the power goes out and these crude devices become useless, it will still be possible to pick up the acoustic guitar and play these songs.

Story behind the song
Most of the world's energy comes from oil. Nuclear power promised so much but has failed to deliver a viable alternative. This song is set after the final Oil Crisis. Once the world's oil production declines, that's it. We'll either have got our act together and found a sustainable alternative, or we'll be back in the Stone Age.
Lyrics
The Children of the nuclear age Warm themselves around the fire And think back to the time When we had it all We were all so vain And quite possibly insane And we lived in so much hope Then we lost it all Somewhere there's a stain Buried deep inside my brain And it's leeching through the veins into my heart And The Children of the nuclear age Throw another branch onto the fire And think back to the golden age When we had it all We were all so vain And quite possibly insane And we lived in so much hope And we lost it all Somewhere there's a stain Hidden deep inside my brain And it's bleeding through my veins into my heart
