Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Whatever Joy may make you stand out from the crowd, that is the solution to the dramas inflicted upon you, it is the act of resistance in which others will do their damnedest to beat out of you, they will always be there in their multitude of numbers, persuading, finger wagging, delightfully suggesting that the problems you are fighting are worthless, not real, the creatures are just figments of your over active anger.

Regardless of whether you are on someone else’s Frequency or not should not preclude you from trying to understand them, to see their world through their eyes, to seek out what drives them; you might not get along, but it should never interfere with your ability to break bread with them, to discuss the state of play and what it means to come together in peace and reconciliation.

All we truly ask for in life, all that we should be requiring from the Universe, is the chance to be understood, to be recognised for our value, even if it is only in the eyes of a few who seek you purposely out in which to make their own life something wonderful. It feels simplistic, an easy deal with the greater good and wider cosmos to feel content with shaking hands over, and yet for the one person that finds a way to smile broadly at the knowledge they will be comprehended and recognised in later years, for a thousand others the Cosmos reneges, shakes its head and whispers in the ear of a thousand more, “I’m Out Of This Place”.

Life doesn’t often throw us the life-line of harmony, the sense of discord is too readily available, we display our faces with permanent smiles and wear our masks with certainty, believing that if we show a sense of Projection of ourselves onto the vision of others, then perhaps they might infuse us with their positivity, the creative beauty of the pleasant and the tuneful we all search for.

Poetry is derided by some as nothing more than a waste of time, a harshly delivered mantra, almost always attached to glowering sneer of projected snobbery, the sermon instructed by those who cannot see the value in the search for beauty and meaning when a dark lonely road is being travelled upon and the urge to light the way for others when their time comes to traverse the same bumps and widening holes, is paramount.

There are two spheres of appreciation in which an artist always knows they have struck a chord with the audience, the wild jubilation of the ecstatic, the raucous noise that greets the beginning and the finale of a song as if the world was ending and the only way to commemorate it is with wolf-whistles and weirdly loud, high pitched yells in which to burst the ear drums of those around you and claim that it does no harm. There is also the simpler, more profound Hush of wide eyed contemplation and understanding of delighted, but sober, euphoria, the prelude of true gratitude before the heartfelt and meaningful applause.

It takes courage to fight against the genre box that people wish to put you in, their own sense of comfort is not for the artist to appease or uphold, the way they proclaim the art in certain terms is not for the performer to maintain, in the end the integrity of the entertainer is to keep themselves in a position in which they get joy out what they create and exhibit, the valour in offering something different or at least producing a separate tune.

Who would be the Last Man Standing when the sound of war finally gives way to peace, who would want to be the final piece on the chess board when all around has been scattered to the four winds and the prospect of further engagement with an invisible army is as assured as night following day, of Alice trailing the time-obsessed white rabbit into a psychedelic adventure.

The way we carry on after we lose perhaps the one that we may have called muse, or in at least found sharing our ideas with passion, is shrouded in the feeling of absence, the mystery of the ghost guiding our mind to finish the job in hand, it is a presence that is welcome, required when it feels as if the world cannot continue in the same vein and one that feels the loss everywhere, that knows instinctively the value of being Omniabsent and what darkness and melancholia can be achieved.

When one of its own isn’t around, the city feels like its pining for their return, too often the sound of laughter is taken for granted, and when the comic does not appear on stage for a time, the happiness can be seen to dissipate like thinly weaved mist being stretched and called back to the sea, to be lost in the gloom; what is needed in such times is A Christmas Story, one told by Terry Titter.
