Longstay, Heading Back (To Miss You). Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The last year has tested the resolve of us all; to keep going, to find peace in the eye of the storm, to find ways to remain above the rising water of concern and fury, to continue to find ways to keep the soul calm, but most of all to refuse to revisit old situations or people that we know caused us mental anguish in the past. We can go back to another place, but we must keep a tight rein on the emotions that forced us to leave, we have an obligation to be aware that what we have lived through of late does mean our heart has to overlook all that we escaped and return to it with open arms.

Longstay, The Quarantine Sessions. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

It is well and good that some who call themselves influencers find even more ways to talk down to the multitude when it comes to the idea of motivation, that their way is the only way to feel a crushing happiness in times when the world has changed inexplicably to one that has become almost unrecognisable, a shadow, an earthly path that has become crowded with brambles and weeds.

Longstay, Calling Me Home. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

No matter how far we go in life, there is always that thought at the back of the mind that makes you tremble with delight and concern in equal measure, that notion, the inkling that someone is Calling Me Home, that something is imploring you to walk back into the lives of those you may have left behind.

It is a feeling that sweeps over you like an artist’s brush delicately placed upon a canvas, each particle of paint patiently making contact with reality, creating a picture in which the only reasonable thing to do, the only proper response is to succumb to the will of fate and once again shake hands with the past.
