Carousel of Emotion
Despite all the smoke and mirrors, the real truth of a Zircon show can be found in the songs. From the wistful yearnings of Clockshade Springtime to the strutted defiance of The Jungle, each song presents a unique world to lose oneself in. These worlds, brash and delicate as they are, confront parts of reality that many bits of media would rather shy away from. Sure, it's easy to sing along to Junkie, or to dance to Do You Jive? but each song contains layers of interest across its music and lyrics that ensure hours of deeper stimulation.
These songs, as different as they are, are all connected at the hip—for they waltz with the human condition. Each song developed as a remedy for pain, a means of transmuting lead into gold from the darkest recesses of silent life. For in the recesses of the waking world, there lies a pain beyond measure, waiting to consume each of us. It takes courage and heart to turn human agony into something useful, and that is the raison d'etrê of each song.
The authenticity behind each song, dressed as they are, stands up when stripped of all pretense. Lonely Boy exists because Brian saw through his eyes, and the eyes of every different character you will witness tonight.
Through Mind Eye Picture's revealing exposé of the creative process, the cosmic journey of self in The Moonchild, the ageless friendship captured in Aquamarine, or the brutally fascinating awakenings brought on by The Jungle or Better - you have every right to lose yourself within the volumes of planets presented to you.
If you walk alongside the beach of living, pretty creatures, never forget the ghosts on the mist waiting to whisper their wisdom to you.
Beneath anything the eye will lie about, two things are true; we are all connected...
And there is one hell of a world out there.
Enjoy Ours.
