Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is no harm in the belief of forever. Everyone needs to have something, anything in life that is permanent, that cannot be taken away by another person, for ill or for good, what you desire, what you need is a stabilising fixed point to which your life is based and drawn from.

The problem lays in that the forever is unobtainable, it might last your lifetime, but Time flows through inertia and entropy as much as it does the constant and eternal; it is the harbinger of its own anarchy, the everlasting having little hope, the prayer of forever soon dashed. In that lays the rub, if a feeling, a prayer, were to last forever then how can it be replaced by something with a greater power to blow your mind, fill your heart, and impress at the same time.

You Want It All To Last is the understanding of the ones to whom know that change is inevitable, from relationships, to politics, from health, to wealth, and all that covers existence, forever is a hope that we must tackle and disassociate from, and in the subtle beauty that Zeitklein, Andrew Bashford-Squires and David Shah, portray on their outstanding new single, the realisation that there are others out there who wish to build better on the foundations of what connects us, and tear down the remaining fears that if our perception of the world doesn’t last, then what is to become us.

The combination of the sweet vocal and the strength of the music is one that serves as a reminder that whilst lasting is a dream and hope, what is more inspiring is the ability to alter the mind of another, get them to feel the sledge hammer in their hands, to feel the pulse as their heart beats quicker as they take that first angry swing, and then see the pleasure on their face as they get to know that nothing is meant to last, only motivate and arouse in the here and now.

A terrific single, a joining of two industrious souls with a singular aim, and one that is framed superbly in the flow of time in You Want It All To Last.
