Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The reflections we see are often distorted by time and our own feelings of damnation that we carry through each day, the load becoming slightly heavier, slightly more cumbersome as time passes without us addressing the damage we may have caused, or the beauty we allowed to bypass us because we were too angry, too weak, too determined to miss it.

Life begins…
…whenever you feel that you have found the one purpose in life that marks you out as unique, an individual, or as someone who has lived through adversity and complication and found a reason to give back to the world via art, artistry, and love.
It is easy to seek the validation of sympathy when you come through an ordeal, it is rarer to feel the warmth of empathy and the growl that accompanies the urging of continuance when you create an iconic moment for all to enjoy, to take heat with afterwards.

There is within us all, a darkness which we must allow breathing space, the excitement and temptation of a future life that comes from highlighting and the re-evaluation of the past. When that moment itself becomes part of history, the need for reconsideration can be a powerful tool of both regret and equal contentment, the dichotomy of reason is uncontained as once more you are compelled to revise your appreciation of the light, and the Darktown where you first unwrapped all your feelings.

Largely acknowledged as the quiet man of Genesis, without whom some of the most extraordinary of musical shapes and conquests would never have seen the band survive the initial days and albums when Peter Gabriel left, and which arguably propelled them onwards, and saw his own solo output take on a more adventurous and prolific dynamic which has seen him continually push the imagination and the themes of his music to places where assuredly they might never have been seen had he not, like his former bandmate, been bold and courageous and sought his own path to tread.

What we might perceive as Hell is only that which soon reveals itself to be salvation, the gateway to a higher plane of existence, a moment in which the light is noticed as a giver and not as first thought, a deceiver, an instrument of denial.

Frugality is a product of need, the desire to be cautious, to save and sacrifice temporary joy in the belief that it does not benefit the soul to have a moment of gladness run rampant around your mind.

Should we leave the insane nonsense behind when we speak of a Roger Waters release, or should we confront it head on and put the record straight?
It is impossible to think that there are those who will seek out the name and attach thought, though it be free, which quite absurdly suggests the very opposite of what Mr. Water’s music, his lyrics and the stage shows he has performed within since his days as part of a fledgling underground phenomenon known as Pink Floyd, has espoused, and countered and yet not see the irony in it.

A place and a time that must come to us all, how we confront it, how we deal with the emotion, how we move on as they have faded, it is up to us. Some rage in the dying of the light, some accept that the world needs to change, and a few, a daring and persuasive few, will play with melancholy and reason, they will charm and conspire with the memory and produce, not tears, but a flood of recalls, reminisces, and recollections that collide fiercely and with beauty installed into every drop of feeling within what will become art.

A universal truth must come when we learn to observe more than just our own footsteps, more than just our lives in the moment if we are to grow and progress as a species.
That truth, one of many and never singular is alive to the certainty that we are connected, that we must observe others on the same road, those that travel with us in our time, those that go against the flow, those that stand still or those that trudge or stride with purpose in ways that we thought was unobtainable and unimaginable…for whichever way the road points we can but hope that Love Runs Through the course of the observer’s mind, that it connects with all around it; and by doing so creates energy and art as a symbol of what has been witnessed.
