A Poet will sing such sweet serenades to their love, whilst always making eyes at another Muse, their belief of their own structured mortality allows them to fall in love whilst never chasing the final act, the courtship being an unrivalled sentence to the finality offered by the closed off chapter and succession in what they would term conquering the affections in Numberless Dreams.

It is usually only with hindsight that we regretfully see just how one person’s artistic talent was never truly realised during their lifetime and whilst Blues-man Gary Moore was often and rightly, lauded for his prowess, it is only with the benefit of reinvestigation and reappraisal that we truly understand what we have lost. The subtly of performance, the devastating mood that he could affect and the range in which the genre owes him arguably a debt for being one of the few of its sources who managed to bridge the divide between its golden Rock period and the inspiration afforded the new generation which has come to pass in the years since he unfortunately died.

The world has not only lost its way, it could be argued that in its madness it has taken us all hostage and yet with no hope of a ransom being paid, it slowly, and surly, finds ways to grind us down, we escape in a fantasy to combat the emotional turmoil we feel and we stare at screen all day in the hope it brings us respite and hope of escape. It is not the fault of some all-powerful, non-existent Matrix, it is the way we have allowed ourselves to be conditioned, we are reactive, not proactive enough, and we have lost the ability to be Wide Awake And Waiting to strike home at those who would have us all in pens.

“No one can long hide behind a mask; the pretense (sic) soon lapses into the true character“, so observed Seneca The Younger, and it is pretence that we often seek the answers to the surreal and perplexing question of What If?
There are many scenarios to such a question, but for Finnish Metal Kings Lordi, the question has become posed in Time, the “What if” of a lost album, the sudden release, unexpected, unknown collection of songs that hark back to a period in which Glam Rock and the vibe of the 70s insight reigned supreme, it is to that supposed lost recording that Killection follows the path laid out by imagination and by the fortitude of expression.

Living in the moment is underrated, the spur of the idea to capture the seedling fruit that sparks imagination and pursuit is often neglected in favour of the overblown scene of completion, the large arc often overshadowing the burst of introspection that gives way to simplicity and minimalistic craftsmanship.

The idea of drama divides, for some it becomes laborious, a deceit measured in terms of tears and the exercise of emotional blackmail, for others it becomes theatre, embraced by the resolution of conflict; neither are wrong, both have a belief system built in them; it all depends on your outlook and sensitivity to another person who may be suffering or whether you just want peace to envelope you.

The drug of choice takes many forms, and we should learn to show sympathy, if not a little admiration, to those who seek their way out of the curse it brings, not only to themselves but to those around them. Addiction takes many forms, some could be considered beneficial but for the many who practise daily their obsession, their craving, then their downfall can be assured, played out in private, given airtime accompanied by constant download of pictures, the streaming of every detail of their lives. It can then be hardly be surprising that a Facebook Loser stumbles on the tones of others and sees themselves in the mirror.

We see ourselves as victims of fate and at the behest of the whispers of destiny, and yet we stand idly by when the two ideologies Come Together in our favour and openly declare that they have seen the rich goodness in our efforts, in our dreams and for that they wish to reward us; to continue the good work. Yet for most of us, we either look upon this gift with shock, disbelief or even incredulity, not realising that we still have a part to play, fate and destiny may offer the result, but we still have to believe in the vision we first embraced.

The illusion of the extra gained hour is such that most seem to adhere to the gift of time, being asleep, catching up, so they believe, with the pleasure of not being active in the world, taking no part, an unconscious objector to the flight of Time’s arrow for sixty minutes; such is their disdain for the symbolic gesture of cutting time from the top of the hourly sheet and sewing it back on the bottom that the appeal of Daylight’s Saving Hours would be lost upon them.

Once more but with even greater certainty of what propelled Mike Zito to prominence, Live From The Top from 2009 is thankfully being re-released thanks to Gulf Coast Records and it is one that for fans of the St. Louis native that comes with pleasure and fascination stirred together to make up a musical feast that not many would have got to feast upon the first time round.
