Play me a memory that I haven’t got to yet…
Life will always surprise you, if you allow yourself to wade in waters that you don’t know. The guidebooks may hint at the discovery and delight to be found in strange depths of human experience, the pictures and small descriptions might urge you to dip your toe, but until you do so In The Middle Of The Night and away from the glaring daylight, the experience, the joy, will remain truly out of sight, unknown.

Music is the Wave Machine to which our minds respond in peaks and troughs.
Our hearts may melt at the spoken gesture of a Shakespearean Sonnett, our eyes may mist at the sight of a Constable’s Haywain or grow inclined to embrace a surreal portion of Dali’s expression, we can even wax lyrical ourselves when describing a momentous piece of architecture to a person who cannot see, but music, the sound and emotion that accompanies a human voice as it seeks to address the joy, the love, the fear, the hatred and damage, of the grief caused by existing in the now, that is the sheer drive that causes the Wave Machine to be our constant friend and guide.

For some the idea of a large built-up city is one caught up in a nightmare of conformity and tight-fitting constriction, claustrophobic and oppressive suffocation. They see the lights of Living Rooms that hang implausibly in the sky, and they feel trapped by the knowledge that the metropolitan urban landscape does not offer the wide spaces of imagination that the forests and the fields outside their doors in which they need to feel secure, in which their stories can roam free.

Of kings and queens, of dukes, noble people and their trades, and the low born risen to greatness through determination, skill, and endurance, we can see ourselves at some point as all of these when we produce something quite extraordinary, and on the midst of brilliance it has to be acknowledged that conducting the drama of 2023 music release, creating a symphony of his own, Eamonn McCormack stands tall and proud as his self-titled new release sweeps the senses into a collective and watches them coalesce, blend together in one riveting musical experience.

The creation of a jungle stems from life being born alongside a river and seeing the shrubs and grasses unveil something quite astonishing and beautiful, a large impressive swathe of land turned into a landscape of biodiversity, of variety, and of stunning discovery…the creation of television might be one of the single reasons in which the human race, although improved by the flow of information, has been suckered into focusing on the flammable toxic that is programming, the allusion of education in the form of indoctrination.

Many will declare when asked that their dreams are always forgotten the moment they wake up, some will linger beyond the first drowsy shake of the head and the casual swipe of rheum from the eye, but the dream, unless absolutely memorable for its content, will fade into dust like much of history.

Love is in the air, unsurprisingly perhaps, for following Christmas and New Year, the holiday that celebrates new hope in the eyes of those seeking amorous connection, those who wish to have a sparkle in their lives following the darkness of long winter nights and little comfort, who can blame any soul wishing to be the subject who lives in a Dream House, who can for a time feel the emotion of a serenade created especially for them.

Authenticity is a road few will travel along for longer than is necessary, eventually the lure of the beyond will transform the route being marched into one of golden pavements, of light feet, and fierce love from all; but to stay true to yourself, your ethic, to be genuine and faithful, is to be trusted without question; it is after all your name that is on the cover, your own stamp on the skin, and all will look to that for reassurance in times when others are happily circling the drain.

We require courage to see into the lives of others and witness their hurt, their moments of broken fragile nature, and yet it only takes the understanding of compassion, the truth of empathy, to set in motion the trajectory of Time’s Arrow back on its rightful and honest path.
Art enters our lives, not just by physical observance, but by a relief of osmosis, to find someone who has never been touched by a song, a line from a poet’s sonnet, a marble statue representing a state of grace between humanity and the heavens, is to come face to face with true and utter contemptible blankness, the arrow of time is not just off balance, it is wildly off the mark.

The sound of a single drum can bring more visual interpretation to mind than that of the pulse of a thousand of its compatriots in full flight, the difference might be in volume, the thousand creating a sense of bulk, of inevitable destruction, but it is to the feel of the two sticks on a snare or medium tom, the kick on the bass, or even the cymbal high above that can bring the depth of fear in its tone, the concern of the repetitive tap quietly playing in the vicinity will bring a greater reveal than almost anything the mind can conjure with.
