And if you think by saying "heal thyselves from thy pain" I am being cruel? You couldn't be further from the truth.
Carrying the pain around with you out of choice baffles me. All you do is make the hurt last forever, rather than heal.
Do the work, or the hurt'll do you in.

So it seems that Madelsohn has been advising billionaires to put pressure on the Chancellor to influence govt policy whilst himself a govt minister?
And passing on restricted govt. documents to a third party whilst in power?
Resignation? a treason prosecution hopefully. Defrock him. Imprison him.

might merge Lords of the Backstage - Blind Curve into a single 11m18s long track. That would work. If I start with the keyboard out to waterhole, that would be 11m25s but maybe even better.

Lady Nina doesn't work there, I've decided. Freaks work perfectly the side II suite. Should have been there all along, tbh.

The lesson from this is, that this is entirely avoidable. And now I look at America, and see the billionaires and GOP burning down their own country for profit whilst they shovel money into their own pockets.

and pointing to the "I am innocent" campaign as vindication? which is basically gaslighting apologia? if not himself writing under a pseudonym?
nothing screams out more "narcissist" to me than this.

so, misplaced childhood. Having seperated out the tracks into individual tracks rather than all merged together, and that i very much find waterhole (expresson bongo) barely even good enough to be a b-side, this is how i run it.

Definitely removing Waterhole Expresso Bongo is a far far better idea to make the album flow better. after that, part 2's individual songs are ok, but they don't really hold together as a piece for me.

Basically Waterhole (Expresson Bongo) is one of the worst Marillion songs ever written, and taking it out of the album makes it a much better listen. And thats the key to the album working for me.

"And it was morning & I found myself mourning, For a childhood that I thought had disappeared.
I saw you, the child, that once loved. The child before they broke his heart, Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost.

"And it was morning. And I found myself mourning, For a childhood that I thought had disappeared.
I looked out the window,And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone
I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror, I saw you, the child, that once loved.
The child before they broke his heart, Our heart, the heart that I believed waslost.
Hey you, surprised? More than surprised, To find the answers to the questions, Were always in your own eyes.
Do you realize that you give it on back to her? But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew, So untrue.
For she's got to carry on with her life, And you've got to carry on with yours.
So I see it's me, I can do anything. And still the child, 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction
And I found direction.
There is no Childhood's End. There is no Childhood's End.
Cos' you are my childhood friend. Cos' you are my childhood friend.
Oh lead me on.
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived, To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie.
Now you realize, that you've got to get out ofhere.
You've found the leading light of destiny, Burning in the ashes of your memory. You want to change the world.
You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel, But that was looking backward.
Now you've found the light.
You, the child that once loved, The child before they broke his heart. The heart, the heart that I believed was lost
So it's me I see, I can do anything. I'm still the child.
'Cos theonly thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction.There is no childhood's end.
There is no childhood's end.
There is no childhood's end.
I am your childhood friend.
Oh lead me on."
- Childhoods End, Track 9 , misplaced childhood (words by Derek Dick aka Fish)
I've never clicked with Misplaced childhood by Marillion.
Until maybe tonight?
Its still a very patchy, poorly sequenced album esp on side two.

"What about the version given to radio stations, which has versions of the tracks with unique fade-ins and fade-outs, and never before available commericially?"

I was extremely naive in my twenties and early thirties, took people very much at their word when it came to values, and absolutely destroyed my mental health (and my career) thinking I could publicly demand accountability and survive it whole.

The drunkard Q's still have some of their Q powers. Q has to keep the rabble in line and try and persuade them not to do Q things whilst hammered.
His redemption arc is thus set.
Various star Trek regulars visit the bar occasionally & he has to tell them he got busted back down to powerless etc.
