They Say I’m Different, perhaps not so much different, as distinctive, a symbol of female drive and Blues passion that is captivating, and which has thankfully been part of a growing with speed since the turn of the century; a far cry from the times in which to be part of the Blues arguably meant for a woman somehow being seen as the voice, and not as the face and the heart of the song.

You cannot ignore what is Deep In The Blood, the signs of your own humanity, the ecstasy of life, and even when others blood may run cold as the story continues, it is, in the end, their loss, their problem, for understanding what drives you, is in itself the point of having heart, courage and pleasure continuously running through your veins.
The combination that comes out of nowhere is one that injects fortune into the mind of the seeker, the one who unceasingly pursues the next form in which to wrestle with, who knows there is something else that survives in the blood, that it is honey that makes the world a sweeter proposition that might otherwise be the case.

Intensity is a virtue that is often treated as if it is an instrument of power, of exploitation, rather than the thought of demonstrated appreciation and the stepping-stone to fulfilment, it all depends on the circumstance, the application, the means of delivery to which few manage to convey with sincerity of heart and without seeming to go overboard and headlong in to the realm of unrequited devilish glee.

Are We Free? Not at all, we may give the appearance and nodding glance to the notion of liberty, but deep down we know we are tied to the spectre of authority, as a species, as an individual. It is only in the hands of the dreamers, the poets, the writers and the artists that arguably the land of independent thought can exist, even then it is secured and gagged by others who dismiss the point as being one only driven by the self, that the ideal of Utopia is one that cannot exist unless humanity dies.

The recognition of the right atmosphere can be the most important factor in determining just how your soul is treated in the future; should you flounder and find yourself in the dark, the sound of your voice the only comfort, then you have chosen poorly, however, should you place your trust in the live setting and strike out with passion and honesty, then all is revealed as beauty.

We can strive for perfection, but in that pursuit, we often overlook the details that make the journey worthwhile. Being flawless is admirable but it is often shrouded in untethered pride. The Weight of Hope that we look to is what keeps our imagination on track, the accomplishment in the quest to deliver something that others can aspire to recreate a far better option in which confidence and courage will be seen to invigorate the organic and the natural sound we really desire.

Reinvention is not the preserve of those that seek to change their background story, in the right hands it can also add a sense of glorious insight to how we can all interpret life, how the subtle cues in interaction can take on a new meaning. Whilst some might see it as a sacrilege, a sign of disrespect to the originator of the scene, to those with art filling their veins, it can be an act of devout sincerity, an offering of thanks to the creator that they have been inspired.

When the day comes that off world intelligent life decides it is worth the risk to land on Earth, it will probably be because they will have worked out that humanity has, in the words of Roger Waters, amused itself to death. There will be no scorched Earth policy, no subjugation of the masses, No Hot Ashes or remains in which to pour a silent thought, and perhaps tear, for those who tried to warn others of the impending doom; just the collected rubbish, the flotsam and jetsam of a once proclaimed civilisation.

Time moves on, whether we are here to witness it or not. For some Time flows ever onwards, seamless, sedate, continually alluding to motion sickness, the feeling that we are not in control of life, but instead that Time rules against us, the passage of experience lost in the haze and the memories that begin to fade.

There is an undoubted sense of fascination that is attached to the Mississippi that few other mighty rivers can ever hope to attain, the perception of history it carries, both for ill and for the hope it may have once inspired. The blend of endless creative invention, the necessity in which it has thrived, the blues, the rock and the voices it has carried. Such is the privilege of the Muse that it has been blessed to offer thought on a musician who digs deep into the psyche and their talent; such is the honour that Ghalia offers in her brand new album, Mississippi Blend.
