The artist who can appeal to all ages and all tastes is quite rightfully to be lauded, revered for their generous influence, the mark of the person involved is not just one who sees their art progress but evolve, so that they capture the heart of the child, and then the imagination of the adult in later years; the spanning of time creating an oasis of beauty that never seems to fade, never runs out of charm and sheer depth of skill.

In the very darkest of hours, what is needed as much as compassion, is a particular type of humour, is the ability to combine anger, wit and resolution that brings the darkest times and those that brought them to the population’s door to account. A country, a world, that sees satire as misplaced juvenile comedy is missing the point, for without satire, without the strength of purpose that such moments bring, the world which happily listens to the words of those who utter such imbecilic declarations as if they were gospel, deserve to have a derogatory title stamped upon their heads forever.

A snapshot is just a fragment of time to which we should have no reference in which to base an opinion, and yet that brief microsecond is all that is needed in some cases for some to judge and speculate wildly, as if we were all in command of deciding someone’s fate or determining the status or strength of a relationship.

To step back from the rush and haste of the world, even when it has been forced to re-evaluate its principles and the price it is willing to pay for the appearance of progress, is to be seen as Playing For Time, the imagery of hesitation, of uncertainty in the realm of expectation and demand galloping over the horizon as if to suggest that someone else will step in and claim the glory of what is rightfully belongs to the artist who wavered too long in their final delivery.

Reflecting on your family history is for many a journey that is not satisfied until you have walked the same path, undertaken the same trials and tribulations that was demanded upon of them. The route may appear different, time has a way of making even the greenest valley become littered with weeds and the tangle of roots ready to catch your determined feet, and yet we continue to amaze others, as well ourselves, by honouring the path to the point where the music we hear along the way becomes a theme tune to ours, and those who walked before us, life.

Such is the modern way of dealing with a problem that we immediately rush headlong into panic mode when we hear the word conversation or own flight or fight response ill-equipped to deal with someone’s alternate viewpoint, someone else’s demands on our time to which their words might demolish our own secure wall.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
It is to how we are seen to deal with adversity that sets us apart from the perception others may have, and the surprise reality to which we hold ourselves to account; when the chips are down, when we feel as though there is nothing to do but hide in our shell till the worst is over, all that matters is that we can, or even appear to be able to, hold our head up high and say I am not cowed by the system, I am a Space Refugee with battles fought and won behind me.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
It is not until we lose our sense of self determination, our sense of objectivity and the gaining of certainty in troubled times that we understand that There Must Be More To Life Than This, the illusion we have allowed ourselves to walk into, blindfolded and with the promise of greater things, but without ever seeing those vague spoken promises come to anything but dust today and jam forever in the years to come.

Paul Walker just seems to instinctively understand how love, honour and the sense of the unrequited fit neatly into everyday life, but like the spirit that continues to break and lift hearts with a resonating touch of humanity that resides in Lionel Richie, so too does Paul Walker find the common touch that is so elusive as with matters of the heart, the compassion which is not sneered at, the beauty in the refined, delicate voice which both soothes and woos with equal discerning measure.

The core of a good story is a truth that refuses to be passed over, ignored, or shunned by a society that sees only the value in what they can acquire and not what they can achieve.
A Storyteller worth their salt understands that, and by which ever means they convey their message of hope, reason or cautioning response to an existential threat, the way they show the world their truth is not just to be played out by the listener or watcher in the wings, it is to be retold, narrated, perhaps built upon, enlarged and given that extra depth to which the narrator and bard, the visual interpreter can seize upon and smile.
