Please Hear What I Am Not Saying, Book Review. Poetry Compiled By Isabelle Kenyon.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We are urged to listen to everything, to take note of all the words said and to take the appropriate action required to make sure all is understood, that there can be no ambiguity in the conversation, we then smile, pleased with ourselves that the dialogue has been completed and we can go and implement the ideas thrashed out.

Where there is discussion, there is also silence, but for the most part we don’t pay too much heed to the words unspoken, the pauses in which the exchange may have stumbled or become broken, snatched from the ether, the moment in which you should hear the silent scream become clear, Please Hear What I Am Not Saying.

One Day, Your Children Become Someone Else.

 

It will come, the dumbfounded look

that will crease your face, puzzled shrinkage

one afternoon, or evening when words

pass lips that only a moment before

were full of childish glee and wonder,

probing questions become statements,

optimism and love

in their eyes becomes care, you hope,

and you’re left feeling as if the world has turned

and forgotten to tell you, that the positions

have changed and now you are the one galloping towards…

well the land of the not quite sure,

your brow deepens, your furrow tightens

Ian Siegal, It’s All The Rage. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It’s All The Rage… fear, anger, the frenzied daily attacks that leave us blindsided and feeling like our minds have become the plaything for lesser men to manipulate; it is all the rage, this feeling of anxiety, of thunder in the hearts but no lightning to spark the brain into the rebellion, or at least urging on those who are willing to tackle the subjects so few are able to comprehend.

Georgia Black, The Morning’s Just Begun. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

You have to get up early in the day if you don’t wish to betray the dawn; that the old Victorian adage of early to bed, early to rise, is only as good as what the day has in store for you, that being on a planet with seven billion other humans makes you less unique, almost in this day and age no more relevant than a cog in the machine, or at least that is what some would have you believe, for they only see the dawn, they don’t understand that The Morning’s Just Begun.

Front Row Circus Seats, Vlad.

 

It makes a change,

a deep breath is exhaled

by many like me, the old,

the infirm, the disabled, the poor, the children,

the low paid,

the single mums, the stay at home dads,

the neglected, the dying, the sick,

the homeless, the under pressure in

this country’s green and pleasant land

as we sit in the front row, given popcorn to eat

knowing that for a brief moment,

all eyes in the circus are fixed East,

the spy V spy deflecting our out

‘The city is alive. Wandering the streets, The Child, The Poet and Death trace memories and map dreams onto a landscape shifting under the spell of time.’

Jenny Van West, Happiness To Burn. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Some have money, some have Time, a few possess a certain talent that they readily dispense and others are quite content to set fire to the world in their pursuit of their own version of the dream, yet happiness is a commodity, an emotion that no one seems to want to share unless there is something in it for them, they will store it, lock it away as if it has the same value to them as Gold or the Dollar in their pocket.

Django Django, Marble Skies. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

We can all look upwards and see the heavens as the very epitome of what gives us intrigue, imagination and wonder, what guides us and keeps us grounded, that no matter how hard we try to punch a hole through the great beyond, something inside of us will always cling to the marble we inhabit as it goes around the sun, a piece of us will always see the Marble Skies and understand whilst cannot touch what is through the void, the void will seek us out and make us find our soul.
