Even Rites of Passage Require Planning
Leeds is almost here. As I type my trusty app tells me there are 15 hours, 41 minutes and 47 second until the festival fun starts. Slightly longer for me. Closer to twenty-four. Plenty of time for planning. Always better up here in the North. Shame Lauren never achieved her dream and like so manyContinue reading “Even Rites of Passage Require Planning”
Lauren Would So Want To Be Like Sophie Aldred
Don’t be surprised if some time in the future she gets handy with a baseball bat. Watch the Video The Kids in Spacesuits offer up another slice of hope, in the madness all around us. Click Here to Listen on Spotify Lauren is caught up in a madness of her own. To find out moreContinue reading “Lauren Would So Want To Be Like Sophie Aldred”
Set Aside The Words Tonight
I thought I saw Lauren in the audience. This would have been her thing. Nieve was electric, a woman embracing her moment, ablaze and alive. ‘Watch It Ache and Bleed’ Nieve calls it an E.P. At 8 songs, I call it an album, perfect in length and perfect in so many other ways. Definitely oneContinue reading “Set Aside The Words Tonight”
Living in a Lost World
We waited. The curtains at the far end of the room rustled. My heart stalled and my thumbs prickled. They knew something I didn’t. Something wicked this way comes. Lauren too, if asked in the empty space of night, would say … I Can Never Say Goodbye To Grace, to the one, who like aContinue reading “Living in a Lost World”
The Portrait of a Dead Girl in the Mirror
“Give me, the strength, give me, the strength, give me the strength.” It might well be a mantra, a prayer for Lauren. At the end, in her last dance. Or Grace. The Portrait of a Dead Girl in a Mirror Words don’t wrap themselves readily around ‘The Last Dinner Party,’ and certainly don’t easily explainContinue reading “The Portrait of a Dead Girl in the Mirror”
Unexpectedly Sharp
Red (is my colour) … Again, in no particular order, the eighth of ten great albums or E.P.s I discovered last year. Well, Red is maybe not Lauren’s favourite, and I am not so sure this would have been on her playlist, but one for the author is not too much to ask. Imogen caughtContinue reading “Unexpectedly Sharp”
In The Pale Moonlight
Lauren had her own moment in the garden. No flowers bloomed, only an insipid moon in the purple bruise of a sky. Gravity. Gravity pulled her. She was way beyond over her head, and in so deep there was nothing else. But she would have loved this album. Again, in no particular order, theContinue reading “In The Pale Moonlight”
I Hear Music
“Unexpected. It breaks the silence of my hospital room.” Lauren Miller When it comes down to it, all that really matters are the relationships we make and manage somehow, against all the odds, not to break. Despite … The Things We Say Thankfully, family is tied with a knot that doesn’t easily undo, even whenContinue reading “I Hear Music”
It Takes A Moment To Realise
“The music is coming from me? I’m humming. I didn’t even notice.” Lauren Miller Trust me, it doesn’t work out for Lauren and Jake, and the one thing they can never do, is come home. Home was never where the heart was, only the hurt. If home even exists at all. Again, in no particularContinue reading “It Takes A Moment To Realise”
