The landscape is such that the winds that blows across the desert can create a new heartfelt, and often stirring, picture with each slow release of breath shot from the heavens. It is almost as if the ripples shift and mark out new territory as each whisper blusters and puffs away at the topsoil that has become eroded and bleached beyond recognition by the sun and reveals underneath a new plain of existence to marvel at.

If the landscape and vision before you isn’t thrilling enough and making your heart beat faster, then move on, there is no law that states you have to be the same person that you were 12 months ago, there is no commandment that dictates you have to lead with your initial thought; indeed it is with an act of maturity and responsibility that your first read through ends up being the canvas for a piece of art of greater significance.

Any music fan craves for the moment when they hear something for the first time that will make the hairs on the back of the neck stand up and the feeling of being transported beyond their self-imposed comfortable surroundings and that takes them to a continent of sound that is full of drama, style, substance and mystery, a place where growth is a two way street, where the performer is transformed and has put themselves into a position where they embody theatre.

Never feel the pangs of jealousy as you find yourself spying on those who look to the heavens with glee on their faces, they may be dreaming of touching the stars, but they never imagine themselves being The Man With Stars On His Knees, they see the glory available to them, but they cannot fathom that beyond that there is the question of care, that we are part of a Universe and as such are required to give all that we can to see what we love, grow.

What a night it was, one that perhaps might never have happened, one that was threatened by the Beast from the East a few weeks earlier and caused issues amongst those who were cornered by the worst snow to hit Birmingham for a generation; even the nearby statue, the so called Floozie in the Jacuzzi would have shed a thousand frozen tears to see the pity of a cancelled gig in the spiritual home of one the country’s leading Rock bands.

Beyond The End is a realm in which few grant themselves the luxury of witnessing, so wrapped up in the now, in taking pictures and recording facts of the currently in vogue, they forget that all soon turns to dust, that in the land of the loved lyric and painted words, it is perhaps the tune that endures longer, patient and appreciated; they say that nothing is beyond the finish line of our existence, and yet, as renowned composers of the past have long since been able to demonstrate, their work has lived on past the tolling of any iron bell.

There is a sadness that dwells within us all, a sense of melancholy that resides in our hearts, tucked away perhaps in a corner, being fed by the past, being ignored by the future; it is in this sense of sadness that joy can arise, that a set of songs that may have influenced you, arguably could have thrilled you, can dispel the gloom, and make you believe, despite it all, that the prospect of covering preceding work can bind you to all your own tomorrows.

We never used to be so out of tune with the call of nature, but then of you tear down the countryside, if you pull up trees and spray poison after poison into the soil and the air, if you turn greenbelt land into concrete monstrosities just to placate the bloated figure of economy, then it could be thought of that nature, in all her glory, has abandoned us.

You can paint words onto a canvas and take the chance that you will, artistically, be recognised and that your sentence is long and fruitful, that even the deaf value your voice and the blind seek out comfortably your vision, that in an age where the artist can no longer rely on being heard or their story told in later years, that the allusion to the greats such as Goya, Rubens or Constable, are not in vein when thinking of the art held aloft.

The past is a foreign country which often requires second thoughts on passing through. The urge to reconnect with that which was once all consuming, now should have signs strewn at intervals and a high voltage electric fence permanently switched on, an armed guard or two subtly pointing out to the unwary the issues to be found within. Yet for those that seek understanding of where the past has brought them too, the signal, the bell that tolls is more akin to that of the Poptone and it is one that rings out in symphony and pleasure.
