For the most part, the idea of freedom is a fantasy, an illusion to which we cling to in the hope that our faces don’t betray our souls, that we can be spirited, up to a point, but the powers that be will never let us truly off the leash, will never allow or permit the ordinary person to be wild, to see the world as a true home rather than what has been staged for us, a place where can be absolutely Wild And Free.

Never mind the appearance of normal, all that is a by-product, a consequence of the way our lives have been manipulated to the point of arrogance and over-confident pride; normal is just fitting in, the mask worn with conceit to hide the quirk and the reason that makes us individuals with a soul that dances to both its own tune, and in compassionate step around others.

Imagine driving along a secluded, unlit and gloomy road, your headlights picking out the shadows of the hedges, of the trees that line the route like still soldiers on parade, then from out of nowhere, the Lightning In The Dark that illuminates more than you could ever witness when you are driving along in the sunshine, a snapshot that sparks life in your mind, and one that stays with you forever.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Society has become consumed with the idea of instant fame, that the dream is not just to find yourself being on the road to success, fortune and a million likes on social media, the people hanging on your every word and reaction, but to be instantly immersed in that world from the next morning, a pact made with Morpheus as you close your eyes that you will arise the next morning and be able to phone all you know that you Woke Up In Hollywood.

A Little Bit More, the Dickensian call out for those who understand they still need nourishment from a valuable source or those that aren’t quite willing to let go just yet of what gives them pleasure.
The final act recorded is such that an audience may call for the actors and even the author to return to the stage, the poet being beckoned to perform one final favourite for the crowd, the rejected lover hopelessly imploring for one last kiss or heated, passionate argument, it is the act of continuing the dream, one that we want to live forever.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
Intensity without the ability to recognise that succumbing to rage can lead to a proposition of fate that will engulf all who come into contact with it, is akin to setting the world on Fire Without Water being on hand to control the engulfing concentration of passion, the ashes of integrity burning long after all who sought refuge have looked back with sadness at what could have been.

To display strength comes with its own warning, to do so, you have to be careful that you don’t crush the spirit of those you hoping to inspire with that one unrivalled extreme state, that of intensity, the comparison between the noble cause and the worthy pain, the contrast between Good Souls Better Angels and the penetrating voice which concentrates of the urge of passionate temptation; there must be the understanding in all who hear such a call that the soul is always going to waver romantically when they encounter the sound and strength of the siren.

It will be argued that in uncertain times we are never more acutely aware of the passing of the hours and days as we find ourselves fighting against the clock, against nature and the system which has somehow fostered the lie that we must be constantly be on the move, not just be productive, but to somehow have a schedule which is thirty hours a day long and ten days a week in breadth. It is the insanity of speculation which stops many of from dreaming about a future of reflection, looking back and understanding that growing old gives you the opportunity to tell all your stories in comfort and with a view.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
To be considered fearless is not always in the best interest of the soul, it offers little, or arguably no leeway in how you deal with the unexpected disaster, the issues caused by others that are out of your control; you might be able to meet them head on and defeat them with impunity but where is the growth, where is the humility?

The mealy-mouthed, holier-than-thou and hypocritical all have the same basic characteristics woven into their D.N.A., the advice they want to spread, with or without being asked, is quite often shrouded in a Shadow Offering, a contribution from the empty can, the verbal donation from the pulpit of their choice, looking down upon their idea of the wretched and in need. The darkness in which they preach coming from a place of insecurity, of envy, and one in which the brave and the soulful have to join forces to keep the others at bay.
