lyrics

The door frame's early morning skies roil partly to bisque,

the clouds seized at mid-swirl.

Indications stall, and being so motionless, work through

their every element, every possible design, not storming

and not storming again,

so that dawn becomes a moment in time

much larger and less enforced, abandoning all skies

to a sudden fiction.

Far below,

the shore tugs at the sightline

(and the sightline in turn answers with a mute roar) until

the moving and pulling of so many delicate influences

evolves upward, allowing a band width, a livewire, and finally,

the sun's jagged minaret to quietly persist

against a dying swathe of whitecaps.

Peripheral shapes return to boats, and the simple heave

of logic brings him back from his late night,

diminishing all former threats. The silence fails,

and a once maundering sea and sky

step away from the car with him,

in portraiture, in complement, but no less willing

to destroy him.

A group that I know only too well, I’ve been with them for nearly 30 years; from their Glaswegian basement origins to their current status as Arena band. My enthusiasm for their later output may have tempered somewhat as the mighty ‘Gwai evolved their sound to avoid pigeonholing, but there is nothing better than when they lay waste to a venue via the sheer euphoria of ‘Helicon 1’. They’re still devastating live and, after all those years, THE authority in Instrumental Rock music. Logen Ninefingers
