In the blink of an eye, that is how life can suddenly appear to have to slip through our fingers, the sands of Time running unnervingly, mechanically fast, as if spurred on by clockwork, and if we are not careful all we have to show for our lives is empty promises, the empty vessels of what could have been.

We rightly applaud the solo performer in their pursuit and dedication to portraying their truth on stage, the sweat and perspiration on the brow of solo artist of the crowd focusing all their attention on the weapon of choice, the guitar, the voice, any instrument in which the Good Days and melancholic wonders can combine in time to fill the void left by silence.

Every country has its selling point, the one that is actually not for sale, but which can inspire those who love it to the point where they act as reference for the tourist board and see their work framed as a reason for the visitor to choose the area as a place of existential worship.

To be in the company of those that refuse to be placed in comfortable boxes for the benefit of others, is to acknowledge that life is beautifully varied, and we all have the right to have our own truth, if not celebrated, then at least acknowledged for their truth to be heard.
We are fluid, in the eyes of who know us we are not the same person, it comes down to perception, and perceptions are unclear, they are assortments of the larger picture, and it is the same in art, for what one person finds unrealistic, perhaps confusing in one album, they can find demanding and pleasurable in another…and often by the same artist.

It could be argued that one of the reasons that Christmas is so adored is the sense of the comfortable routine that people wrap themselves in, long nights inside beside a humble, but grateful fire, old familiar smells emanating from the kitchen as parents find ways to restore hope with the food they have worked hard for, the swapping of gifts, memories and tokens as songs, both of religious and spiritual meaning, and those we have come to expect, play out from radios, music channels on the television, and mixing in between the adverts like the unwelcome ghost at the Christmas dinner table.

It takes a village to raise a child, it takes a city to mould it, so what does that mean for the Bright Town that gives the youth its first sense of the dynamic that awaits, the joy of performance that waiting in the wings to be released; could it be that this is where the generations meet, where the once narrow road widens and encourages the youth to take on the mantle of adult hood and take issue with mess left in ruins by the previous incumbents, to smash the relics to Smithereens.

It is the beginning and the source of life, the beauty of the unknown yet to unfold as we look to Eve to measure our love, and yet we soon allow this passion of the foundation of creation to be usurped by the gods of war, tin men with tin hearts, to employ the means of destruction.

Be the best that you can ever be, but never allow yourself to think that you are superior to anyone, be gracious and be an inspiration, however, never allow anyone to stop your dreams, never allow the Goddaughters of providence and chance to stop you from conceiving brilliance.
Following on from 2020’s The Wine Of Youth and pursued through a period in time in which life, human existence was pushed close to breaking, San Diego’s Zach Phillips returns, stimulated and encouraged by a darker sentiment, one of a possibility that we never want to see or consider happening in his brand new release, the superb Goddaughters.

Live and in person, the sound triggers the imagination, the lyrics offer the heart a chance to beat quicker, to the mind a sense of purpose is grasped, and for the soul, well when you listen to Sebastian And The Poor Valley Marauders in full flight, the soul can only praise which ever deity gave you ears for the belief you are about to receive.

The difference between dealing with prohibition and living under the sentence of exclusion may be a technicality, but at least during prohibition if you knew where to have a good time, you could guarantee to find the time of your life, an approval granted by many to see the joy denied those who refuse to hear, rebuffed by those who quarrel with beauty.
