Who knows Where The Wind Blows, who but those who see the invisible force as a tangible being in its own right can see the path of inevitability that creates a path for the all-seeing to track, and in which chaos is the by product that gives the traveller shelter as the trees and leaves rejoice in the power of nature?

Not only is there is still room for the concept album to exist, it is vital for it to be expressed and developed so that the oral tradition of telling stories does not disappear down the same rabbit hole that reading a novel seems to have an experienced, uncared for a society that has allowed itself to slowly diminish in many quarters the ability to concentrate on the long-term picture, the joy of losing oneself in a narrative that is in fact the companion to which we never tire, the guide to which a three minute burst of song cannot surely hope to compete with.

All that may seem lost, upon reflection in re-discovery, leads to more questions that need answering in the Bright Hours afforded the fan and the music devotee.
If ever there was a case to doubt the sense of the music marketing world then Lancashire’s Bradford surely fits the bill, and like The Small Faces in the 60s, Bradford can quite honestly be regarded as one of the biggest under-rated by society groups to have been lauded by the minority ever.

That first experience is always regarded as the most satisfying, the initial taste that dances on the tongue, which rages in heat, which is delicate to savour like chocolate, this is moment that your senses have been crying out for, and when you understand that the thousands of hours that have gone into chasing that primary encounter, that engagement or confrontation with the beast of decadence, then you know it is all worth the wait for the sensual and the aggressive to arrive and surround you at the same time.

For those locked inland, the coast is a place where dreams of the journey can start, where the vision harboured over by the romantic heart can begin. The coast is the start of the blue horizon, what lays beyond is all in the mind until the first step onto the ship of realisation, and the seas of adventure and the search for consciousness.

What is often promised falls short in delivery, and it is only to the fault of expectation that we see this tumble from the high we envisioned, that we took for granted that the initial meeting with the outcast and the individual would be anything more than a one-night stand in the company of the eccentric and the unconventional.

You can believe that you can hide from the shadows and the darkness all you like, but in the end it becomes easier, less exhausting to admit that being prepared for the ill-omens and the creatures that carry menace and foreboding evil is something to be proud of, that the very threat others see you that they believe is being mired in misery and gloom, is in actual fact a shield, a weapon to carry into the attack on those who see the world through lies, falseness and the rose-tinted glasses of ignorance; Ominous belief perhaps, but one that is immersed entirely and with respect to the craft in the absolute and real.

The threads of success and completion are so tightly stretched that it only takes a sharp tug and the whole process, the experience, can come lose, can snap before it has even had time to be recognised for what it is, and in the same way that individual prowess can be lost when Time and nature conspire against us, so to do the threads of success suffer under the same strain.

Isolation and alienation are not considered happy bedfellows, but they can be found to be often related via mutual understanding when one person suffers and agonises over pain and virtue in equal hostile measure.
Quite often, the more you push against the two despairing emotions, the harder it is to see yourself as free from the effects and damage they inflict upon you, the separation of spirit and soul they exact, like badly informed justice and deliverance, the casualty and the wounded party often seek to further entrench themselves into the position where Try Harder becomes a verbal punishment designed by those with little empathy and care of understanding.

It doesn’t take a sailor or a mythical creature who guides many a doomed soul to the jagged, unforgiving rocks, to sings Songs Of The Sea, for those waves that either gently lap at the shore and thrill sun bathers as they bathe their sand crusted feet, or the kind that turn rogue or episodic which can crash into the side of a cliff with devastating results, at the end of the day still produce the same effect, the erosion of the land with the help of time.
