When gods get together the resulting thunder and storms can be so colossal that those who see and take in the wonder from the seats upon the eternal stage cannot but help be in awe, and when those giants and gods are in harmony, then the resulting dynamic is one of collaborative eruption, a release of energy so spectacular it rivals a volcano in terms of how people view the event.

The sense of remarkable cool that comes across in John Jenkins And The James Street Band new single, Tell Me Joe, is not to be underestimated, indeed the hearty groove initiated at the start of the single, almost Bryan Adams-esque in its delivery, the tale that unfolds is one of outstanding collaboration and a desire of a new phase of John’s life encouragingly taking place.

The stance of Henge may be one that will possibly confuse the uninitiated but as the cult heroes bring their new album, Journey to Voltus B, to the shores of electronic rock so the reveal of what is an exciting invitation to really enjoy the creation and well as the flight that is awaiting them.

Sometimes the zinger requires time to land, the timing in the hands of an amateur is askew, not quite feeling the effect that it was designed to do. In some cases, the person on the other side of the joke sees the climax a mile off and is prepared, but the moment of exultation is lost. Only in the mind of the true seer can the Punchline become evident at the exact moment it was required to give the audience what it needed.

What was once a dream can soon become a myth, a forgotten piece of lore, half remembered, tales told around camp fires and the whispered remains of studios, a warning perhaps to the extent of pulling a plug early on a project, or the damnation of some who are a recording limbo; the masterpiece in waiting, fully recorded, but never released.

The quiet acceptance of regret, but the hope that reveal and revelation that comes forth from the experience is a state of mind we can only hope to find in our soul when a significant relationship ends or we flounder in the wake of our untold promise; and yet for the most part we lament in the modern age with a broken heart on our sleeves to a point where the dignity is shelved in favour of the illumination of the prolonged exposure.

Just because the language to your mind is not easily grasped, or even understood, does not mean you can dismiss it, the structure of verbal information and exchange is not only measured by the words alone, it is the way it is spoken or even sung, it is in the intonation, the delivery, the way it can be felt to contain kindness, dramatic intent, the pulse of fervour and fear that gives it life and meaning; that is the meaning when you don’t know the nature of the words…After all there is light if we accept that it doesn’t always come from the Sun.

Looking Back At The World from a position of relative safety is one where can afford the luxury of truth, that without the need for rose tinted glasses or the facility to sugarcoat the expressions, we see a world where the differences we endeavour to make are colossal; not always because of the impact on the whole planet, but on an individual, a sudden richness that glows brightly and which if seen from the edge of the universe, if a soul could shine so bright, would be revealing and engaging.

The opportunity to be immersed by nature as we take a break from the demands of the city is a powerful one; we can be stood within the shadows of New Street Station as trains run grimly underground, the footprint of Liverpool’s Three Graces that overlook the multitude as they think of bills, debits, and debts, or even stuck inside an office working during the hours of daylight and never having the opportunity to see a field in full bloom…it is almost Orwellian, almost Kafkaesque, and yet it is a nightmare that we have become accustomed to as we neglect the belief that Wildflowers are just as important a sight to the soul than the weight of greed displayed by covering over every spare piece of land in the race to make the most of acquisition.

Always Look Up, never walk along the pavement with shuffling feet and with your head bowed as if defeated by the innocuous and the beige, stride with purpose, with thanks, and with a song, no matter which, in your heart; for the best way to annoy the doom laden and the sad sacks who proclaim disaster upon every soul don’t wish you to see the sunrise above your head and take in the marvel of all that creation has to offer.
