A Future
by Danny Quetin

Young adolescents we were, in the late 1970s, early 1980s. Budding adolescence. Rebellion. Well, we tried that anyway. Though we didn't quite know against whom or what. It was a time when we still had all our hair, which we let stand up in spikes with liters of gel. We would shout 'No Future', if not only because a certain English group did so, loudly, on an album called 'Never Mind The Bollocks'. (And which later also turned out to be just a scam)

Later, yes. Because the future did appear to exist. And was it good? Not necessarily, no. Just as the past hadn’t always been satisfactory.

Yes, rebellion is still possible, and with plenty of reasons for it, too. But the yoke of puberty, that we left behind some decades ago. It is now stored in a record cabinet, where bands of our youth are fighting their battles among themselves, against society and especially against their political leaders. Capital A with a circle around it, that was the signature of the time. ‘No Future’ the cry of the struggle.

Time, it turns out, is relative. The future becomes the past in a heartbeat. That's how fleeting times are. What you read is the present, just for a second. Upon second reading, it is already the past. The clock is ticking mercilessly.

But if some big bang says ‘enough with this’ and seconds no longer exist, only then will time come to an end, will the future no longer have foresight. Future becomes no future. The end of time as the final destination. Credit where credit is due.

lyrics

NO FUTURE

CIGARETTE SMOKE CURLS UP
EMPTY ROOM
WAILING BACKGROUND MUSIC
BLANKET OF SMOKE

ALREADY ON THE 2ND FLOOR
THE AIR IS THICK I SING MY SONG
WATCH THE SHOW ON ENDLESS REPEAT
SO FUTURE BECOMES NO FUTURE

I WANNA RUN INTO YOUR KNIFE
TO CARVE AWAY THE MAN INSIDE

I PUT MY FEET UP ONE LAST DRINK
THE FINAL ROUND
THIS GUY ON TV SAYS WATCH OUT
THE FIRE IS NEAR

ALREADY ON THE 3RD FLOOR
THE AIR IS THICK I SING MY SONG
WATCH THE SHOW ON ENDLESS REPEAT
SO FUTURE BECOMES NO FUTURE

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch

I talk a lot about the expectational song writing glory and passion of Portuguese band IAMTHESHADOW. I will always buy anything Pedro puts out on Cold Transmission unheard, because he has never let me down . What always astounds me is how different every new album sounds. This new single is such a contrast to "Pitchblack". It is expansive, hopeful, and dynamic with the soul and accessibility of Psychedelic Furs. A band that is always taking you on a fresh emotional journey. preciousken
