Heartland

Just reading the Germany thread in the general section reminded me that Vision Thing is even after twenty years probably for me the album that still best sums up the times we live in with Trump, Isis, Brexit, oil, money and the rejection of experts and perceived wisdom for emotion and self-harm: 'I tried to tell her of Marx and Engels, God and Angels, I don't know what for'. Whereas Floodland was definitively Cold War (and a great album it is) Vision Thing is still very current. Anyway if not it, which album sums up the times?

The next one, I suppose... But as to which song, I definitely think it's Far Parade. I'm no lyrics deconstructor normally, but there is a feeling of great doubt and surrender of control or even beliefs, as far as I can tell.

If you tell to actually f**king play it some day, I could elaborate further on it...

Indeed, VT still describes the world we live in.

Damn, Far Parade - taking music UTG and WoD - has so great musical potenntial. If i could write songs properly (which means, if i can transfer melody that i built in mein kopf) it be at least one musical back ground for this. not that it would be fantastic.
