Elijah James and The Nightmares, Who’ll Be Here Tomorrow/Enough Rope. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

In times of adversity, even the smallest gesture can bring about the greatest change, and a voice given to sincerity, of honour, will give hope to many, and even if the subject matter at hand is one of concern, of clenched fist and tears in the eyes, there is still hope to be found.

It is only natural in the times we live in that we have to delay certain plans, to put back the clock on experience and release, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop living, to hold back on dreams or desires, and art, for the multitude and majority, is the place where their own existence on the planet is made concrete, which gives them a reason to be.

There is a special kind of confidence that cannot be ignored, to do would be unkind, to undermine a soul, and in the end only shows you up to be of a frivolous and undesirable nature. The complex relationship we have with confidence can be hindered by believing it is nothing more than arrogance, a disguise to be worn by those with nothing in their hearts but deception; however the truth is that honourable confidence is worth protecting, if it smiles and does all that it has said that it will, then confidence is the illumination that paves the way to enlightenment.

To have it all and yet be humble, to possess the voice and heart of a lion and yet be as sensitive as a field of poppies in full bloom or as wondrous as the first sighting of a masterpiece on an artist’s easel, to see it all unfold before your own eyes, that is one of the great gifts of existence and one that the music fan rarely gets to witness or the reader of poetry and the great British novel can only guess at.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Time was a new album or E.P. launch would be held in the frosted glaze of cameras and a hundred scribes finding a novel way to describe the happiness and pride in the room, the management pouring out champagne and the band assured a million dollar comeback; it was all colourful, it was cynical and it was never truly real. Under the façade of a thousand camera lenses lays one of the truths of life, that nothing is truly what is seems unless you witness it in all its beauty of the humble and quietly talented leaving a bigger mark on the audience than a extravaganza could ever achieve.
