We pay homage to those who came before us in more ways than we might ever consider. Such is the relationship between past and present that at points in our ever-extending repertoire we revert, perhaps fleetingly, but always with grace in our choices, to that which influenced us in our formative years.

Observation is the key to capturing the essence of the soul. You can find beauty in anything, but if you don’t truly look with more than just your eyes, if you don’t feel with more than just your heart, then what you observe is no more than a snapshot of a single emotion caught in the moment. Observation is key, but you must be prepared to see it through a kaleidoscope and not just a glimpse of a polaroid waved in front of you by a well-meaning, but ultimately over excitable friend.

A policy of Scorched Earth historically does not bode well for humanity, spoken confrontations are not required to conjure up the imagery the message entails, and as we find the barrenness that comes from the destruction, so we perhaps cower at the prospect of finding anything other than the shell we once were, the soul marginalised, the belief dispersed to the winds.

Some will insist on calling such events magic, a charmed dreamlike beginning in which the artist is revealed in the fullness of time; and yet magic does not begin to cover the thrilling bewitchment that Jade Thunder places the listener within as she releases her new album on the unsuspecting and the mesmerised.
Magic is one thing, the knowledge of chemistry, the application of binding elements, the key to breath-taking miracles, lays in the possessor and practitioner of Alchemy, and it is to be sure an occurrence that is rare, it is conclusive, and it is to be cherished as one would value life.

Sleeping dogs don’t lie, they only sing the truth and play music that is genuine and full of precision.
If sleeping dogs don’t lie, then Track Dogs are the ones who are constantly pushing the boundaries, refusing to seek rest upon any laurels put before them, and instead sets them to eagerly chase the tail of music at their immense disposal, and it is with a sense of vigorous self-belief that the band of musical brothers based in Madrid, find they can ask that most pertinent of questions put before any band; Where To Now? and arrive at the most auspicious of answers, anywhere they please, for the destination in this case is one of exactness, one of searing great tunes, and one to which the purpose and target of the journey’s end is actually just another stop on the road to enlightenment.

We can deny the accusation all we want, but at some point, we have to admit to ourselves that we are capable of sabotage of the self, of causing pain to the inner child that resides within us all, and the complications we reap as we face the inevitability of the Still Life reflecting back at us from the pool of our soul.

Do we take enough chances in life, do we explore with the fascination of a child rummaging through every toy in the box just to find the one puppet or model that catches our eye and our soul and to which we forever hold in reverence, whilst still pursuing other toys, other enjoyments in which to compare with? Arguably it could be stated that we do, but it then becomes more about ownership, about possession, and unlike the child, the adult finds they want it all but have no real need for the toy, they just want to covet it and keep it out of other’s reach.

A trilogy is only as good as its final part. If you can stomach that declaration then understanding is part of your deal, for a trilogy means nothing if the ending is unbelievable, if it goes against everything that has been set up in good faith before, then the whole structure falls apart, it becomes worthless, the one willing to sit through an entire season, take pleasure in the excitement of the ending, might arguably feel cheated, will feel the waves of cynical impression forced upon their time.

The need to emphasise just how important the art of storytelling is to the human spirit and the soul has never been greater. In a time of flux, in a period where we are tied by the shackles of unyielding and unrepentant dogma dressed in the clothes of pragmatism, the chance to sit in The Garden and feel the buzz of a natural lesson imparted rather than the forced rhetoric of statement, confirmed declaration, and the account of madmen in their offices.

There is nothing quite like the epic romp, and in modern cinema nobody does it arguably finer and with more dynamic display than Director Matthew Vaughn.
