the album is coming along very nicely. we are well aware that for one reason or another, it has taken a long time for anathema to get to this place, but now we are ready. the album tracklist is decided. the rehearsals are going very well.
everything, quite literally, is falling into place.
what i love about this record is the character it seems to have. the songs belong together. there is purpose and focus. and it shines. brightly.
the message is one of hope. of the absolute certainty that there is a better way. there is always a better way. there is always a solution, a purpose. it only remains for us to be open to it. to bring ourselves back into harmony with a larger system.
that harmony begins by bringing ourselves back into balance within ourselves. all the ancient sages and wise people have said it. change starts with the individual.
some of these songs are very exciting, some are a little more melancholy, and some of them are just euphoric. they all celebrate life, and they all have something in common with our previous work, in that they are all very much from the heart, and they are saturated with emotion. this is the greatest record we have ever made. i know it in my heart. all we need do now is find the right engineer/producer and the right studio, and to remain focussed.
to this end, we have decided to hire a house in the country for the first month of next year to 'live' this music before we record. we will play everyday and we will leave no stone unturned in pursuit of brilliance. of a new way to express these feelings.
i have my faith that the universe can bring everything into place for us to make this record into a success. a record that will certainly affect people. i do not wish to sound pretentious, but i know it will change lives. this is what music does. it moves people in a way no other form of art does.
because our inspiration is of a pure source, and because our intentions are genuinely to reach people and open them up to new ways of feeling, thinking and healing, i have every faith that whatever we need to make this happen will come to us.
