All songs written by Dave Forestfield
Produced by Dave Forestfield
The album finds the singer/songwiter in many different moods. Forestfield’s wit humour is visible in songs like *Big Wheels* and* Lock Up Your Heart*. Solo piano number* Before Our Time* paints a reverse vision of *John Lennon*’s *Imagine* and *In a Deserted Village* will reveal him in his darkest storytelling mood. Even some psychedelic elements can be found plus a couple of pseudo gospel songs, *Shining Trees* and *I Believe The Change Will Come*. The latter was released as a single and it features the blues singer *Jo’ Buddy* as a guest vocalist. What comes to Forestfield’s political side, it will take the lead especially on *Hollow Log* and *Matthew Mills*. What is the conclusion? Perhaps just that people are often ridiculously loyal to their choises, even till The Bitter End.
