Lyrically (I can't pretend though, that I'm comfortable with all the lyrics, but I might be missing the point?) Musically. Harmonically. Dylanesque a la 'A Hard Rains...'
Expressionism to the nth degree.
Adler's TOTALITY. Jung's INDIVIDUATION.
28/10/25 - I've taken the link out. Even though it is not my account, I'm uncomfortable with leaving links in to material that use, in essence, the whole of the song that is available on record - unless the owner of the intellectual work gave express consent. In other words, I'm returning to the status quo as it was prior to 14 February 2005, when YouTube was created. All the best...
08/05/25 Edit:
Thanx to all Allied service personnel who gave their lives in preventing the intended Nazi 1000 year Reich (not forgetting non service personnel forming various Resistance). Viva the 70 Allied personnel (plus others also still alive) that were part of tonight's celebration of 80 years since VE! Today, Viva Europe! Whether part of the EU or otherwise! Many European Nations have shared histories, if you look back far enough.
Continuing my views on Cavaliers:
Harley informed his fans years ago that he had two albums worth of material ready (or almost so) at the time of the EMI signing. The first two albums contain a sound, a feel, in my view, that reflect the early writing. Perhaps appropriate that the earliest Cockney Rebel worked on the opening albums because Crocker, Jeffreys and Reame-James had to have also influenced the sound to compliment Steve's earlier compositions.
Cavaliers almost seems to me to be from the same 'family' as Death Trip and Sebastian, for example. Strings were important. The drama is there every time one listens to them. Stuart Elliott easily had the versatility to transition with Steve, into the more commercial Cockney Rebel, which began with Judy Teen and then continued from Psychomodo to Love's... That's my view.
