The act of yearning is one that can never be ignored completely, you can try to shut it out, you can dampen the effects, mask them with other issues in your life, however the ache to experience whatever set your heart aflame in the beginning will always find a way to sneak back in an unguarded moment and take the craving on further, deeper and become more entrenched in the psyche.

The Scottish city of Inverness offers a rare sense of welcome the moment you step onto its incredibly long platform, the city of the north, the place where the old intercity trains made their final stop and in the distance the suspected resting place of Lady Macbeth is said to be stowed. Inverness is in many ways the finest of places to come from, arguably it is also one steeped in enough beauty to make anyone want to sing with passion, it welcomes the Fine ‘n’ Rosy cheeked.

Elegance is not a right, the sophistication of a song is not created by accident or by design, it is merely down to the attitude of the musician and the mutual bond that was formed in the early lyrical squeeze offered as the first note captured their affections. Tastes in both can change, an early love can become an embarrassment, a song once mooned over and protestations of love declared can become the memory of horror and the refusal to play it for anyone. In the end elegance is where the love remains and where the Believers stamp their authority.

For Icarus, the fall from grace was too much to survive, the hubris shown in the face of the gods a damning streak of complacency, self righteousness that smacks the face of those that display it. Icarus had no return, falling from the height that no human could withstand the impact from. Icarus had no way back but for Green Day, the almost smug delivery that preceded the trilogy of releases in 2012 over a four week period; thankfully has been washed clean, there is a taste for redemption, salvation and it is o ne that they plainly had to extradite themselves from before it became too late.

Music will always set you free. It is the key to the prison that many find that they have made themselves, that they have shrunk into without warning or cautionary forewarning; the key is to believe in what you write, that the music you find in your soul is enough to disturb the lock so you can walk free, head held high and with a finger or two raised in admonishment to those who never trusted your instincts.

Whatever the reason, whatever the incentive or the drive, eventually we must find a way to live our dreams, to do the things we have long held dear in the secret chamber of our heart and to live each moment that comes of the realisation of fulfilment. Whatever the spur, it makes you appreciate the moment and for some it can change their lives; This Girl This Woman is for half the population the dawning of contentment and for the other half, arguably a mantra to champion those in your life to achieve their dreams.

At its very best music should sweep you along, it should be rich, intoxicating and free to roam the imagination at will. Music should stalk the memory, haunting the listener, making them remember all the good times and reliving with passion all the bad moments so that they don’t become spectres of the listener’s life and times. Music at its very best should be poetry, the motion of chance and choice, the free style and the beat that should make the heart stir with a gentle tinge of regret and love.

It is a truth that during our life we can feel disconnected from the rest of humanity, we seek solace in the hopeful friendships that other enjoy but despite wearing our best smiles and showing the sociable appearance, the Other Side of the emotional gap seems a daunting prospect to gain entry too; it is as if standing in the freezing rain is preferable to enjoying one hour of summer. The Other Side, all that we aspire to be, to be happy, to have a voice and a say, to know that our smiles are fixed, even when the world is a desperate place which only a few can enlighten.

The ashes are someone else’s property, they fly off into the night along with the embers of a broken promise, the dreams and unfulfilled desires in the wreck of another’s pyre; such is the desire to find new ways to enjoy the Rock genre that is takes at times more than it gives. Some pyres might be extinguished before they start but for Kingbreaker To The Fire is a call to watch it burn brightly in the night, the illumination and the heat is enough to draw the crowd in closer, the chat, the bubbling conversation a welcome relief and is to the fire we turn.

There are many ways in which a relationship may suffer the final throw of its natural life, however the outcome is pretty much always the same; it all comes down to how the end is delivered, whether it is face to face and the anguish and insanity that comes with that or in the cold but safety insinuated by means of the electronic delivery, the communication of the cowardly or the intelligent that knows what happens in a public confrontation.
