Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Exposing yourself to a world of contrasts is what makes life exciting, fulfilling, strange, and unforgettable; the problem with many in this world is that they sample a taste of one, and then they never move on, they gorge, feast to their heart’s content on what has already made them fall in love.

Gravity, in the end, will only pull us down, as Marillion noted in their haunting track The Only Unforgivable Thing, a reminder perhaps that we can only fly so long on the wings of promise, on the air currents of experience and dreams; eventually we have to consider that we may have flown too high, that like Icarus, we must be brought down to Earth and confront and assess our beliefs.

When the neon lights blaze, we cannot but be helped to be drawn to them, to witness the message they powerfully place into our minds, to acknowledge the subliminal mindset of advertising, or if we are more involved with the signals beaming down from outer space, the news that somewhere, somehow, someone Shot A Satellite and the repercussions are electric, bountiful and mysterious and full of intrigue for what is to come.

Ain’t No Man A Good Man; however, when the mood catches the wind in the right direction, when the pathos of our times is able to set the sky alight with flames and fury, then in these times, a great man comes to the crease and finds a way to offer a piece of their soul which will calm and soothe the nerves, that will enlighten and take the pressure off to such an extent that the sky, like the mind, itself clears.

Mercy comes not in the wake of violence, but in fearless gentleness afforded to those with humble minds and modesty weaved through their D.N.A., those who identify with the need for compassion, empathy of the times that the other may have withstood, and finally crumbled underneath, the generosity and quality that is, as the bard was persuaded to note, not strained, by temper or of spirit. Mercy is a right to all, it doesn’t mean that the action has been forgotten, but that is forgiven, understood.

To create art that is beautiful, we first must be prepared for our minds to be destroyed by madness, by suffering the sense of the eternal struggle, and by being at odds with the world; nothing else will conjure up images of passion more, nothing else will sear the endeavour of the human condition with as much feeling.

It’s the big skies, the vision in many people’s minds that they first come to think of the United States of America as more than large imposing cities that stretch out of sight and the place where the dichotomy of political infighting is beyond their comprehension. These big skies are always blue, seamless, from coast to coast they offer beauty, the landscape of abundant fortitude and meaning; as Jim Morrison once surmised, it’s the country of the stoned immaculate and the big beat.

A country that’s divided is one of the great physical expressions of political dogma that humanity can impose upon itself and be seen from outside the boundary or map by others as shame, of dishonour, and to its worst degree, pride in ideological breakdown.
From Korea to Ireland and Cyprus and into the political chains of the question that governs the issues facing Moldova and Romania and North and South Ossetia, a divided country is one of frank circumstance that is only defeated by either war, or by love.

There is a part of us that will long to disbelieve the obvious, that we seem to naturally distrust the word of another human being, that we will actively seek to prove them wrong. We can be told categorically, even see a sign, that proclaims the words Paint Still Wet and we will go out of our way to prove that they are amiss in their assertions, erroneous in the way they present the truth.

The Girl With No Name is one that keeps her secrets close, her friends in doubt and those intrigued by her presence, undeterred in wanting to know and understand her fully, and without prejudice.
Following on from his excellent last single, I’ll Sail Away, Jon Meadows returns to the forefront of the Liverpool music thought with the release of a song that is not only electrically charged, but makes the mind relish the exercise it endures as it turns cartwheels, jumps to attention, and come alive to the hum that emanates from the soul of the artist and explodes the heart of the listener, completely.
