Those New Old Songs…they resonate in ways that beguiles the mind. For those that speak in a different language, where the vocal is coded in mystery to the non-native speaker, it is the universal that explains the words, and the feelings that are unearthed as it sways to the voice is where the listener finds their own explanation of why it captures their heart.

We have been conditioned to believe that allowing weeds to grow is the product of an unproductive mind, that they destroy the love and attention bestowed on the colourful and popular plants; and by nature’s fancy, are to be chopped down with a vengeance that is akin to a biblical gesture of deliverance.
Weeds plays more than a part in the world, weeds are the first things we notice when the world insists it is too perfect for anything other than flawless; that the wild and uncontrollable, that the eager and hardy, those that withstand storms with greater ferocity deep in their stems must give way to fragile and dull, and often overhyped, flowers in the pristine soil.

Just as others see a version of us that even a close friend wouldn’t recognise by its description of our emotions and attitude, so we ourselves are confronted by a thousand facets of who we are when we gaze in the mirror or when we are startled by our reflection in a shop window when the bad hair day is the least of our social problems.

Not everyone has the novel inside of them. For many, life’s routine is such that a moment out of the ordinary is enough to create and weave a story that they can dine out on for a while with friends, an instant in the sun in which their life holds meaning beyond the grey and the beige to which they join others in producing Short Stories that build into a larger collection, published, printed, and the spotlight of existence on them for enough time for it to be remarkable.

The south may be more alluring, but it is the history of the north people that gives our own islands a deeper resonance, a timbre of earthly tone that has shaped the present in narration and its account on the world.
To be enchanted by the tales from that which crosses a different sea is to be expected, to be held with attention, curiosity and awareness, but to be mindful that which gave us our beginnings, stories, fables and sagas which live deep in the D.N.A. and which Tales From The North, of longboats and invaders, of towns and village names that have withstood history and time with just a corruption in the evolution of language adding flavour to those days and people that remain vocal as they whisper from the past.

We hold fast to the notion of Legends and myths because we are in a time dominated by the small minded and mediocre. Those legends, tales of heroism, fierce loyalty to darkness and the light, of creatures spawned and angels wielding swords with impunity, those are the days which give meaning to the premise of marvels witnessed and traditions created.

Seduction and temptation go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other, it is the thrill of the unknown as it glides your hand towards to the velvet, irresistible touch offered by that which holds a glint in its eye.
It is that contract of exchanged enticement, written In Times New Roman that sets the seal of attraction to the blissful and the seductive and the suggestive, the ink barely dry as the invitation is agreed to in full, for temptation is eye of the persuaded, and few can do that with as much charm as Josh Homme and Queens Of The Stone Age.

There is no doubting that Toto will considered as one of the finest of America’s ever bands, a group of musicians that came together with a certainty in their collective hearts, and one that inspired their listeners to examine, like groups such as Chicago, Kansas, and Journey, their relationship with classic American Rock in an age that has straddled beyond its perceived time as the voice of a generation that sought to change the world in the shadow of the elders who stood still after they stopped being the Golden Generation.

There comes an age where eventually you might become unmoved by art, the moment where you realise you are not where you once stood, but further disconnected from the ache of a poet’s heart, where you might have more in common with the stone discarded from a sculpture’s reason that the reveal of beauty you once stood in awe of. It is possible, and occasionally perfectly understandable to be so overwhelmed that all that is left inside is dust and tears.

To draw upon a wide variety of images and give them life is a fundamental part of being human, it is the soul of creativity, it is the heart of storytelling; and as each drop of inspiration collects on the surface of those we wish to see illuminated by these tales of fantastic lives and hopes of a better tomorrow, so the King Of A Land is revealed, and it not one of wealth or supposed divine right, but the man or woman who lives to encourage his fellow traveller on this short voyage of life to be better, to do more for others, who lives with compassion in their hearts.
