Life lessons in Billy.

I can't quite put down this week without sounding cliché.
Or corny.
Or selfish.
It was definitely eventful.
For the nation,
The world,
& myself personally.
& I kept having billy talent creep up on me with tiny surprises.
Nuggets of what they are laid down tantalising.
So tonight Hilwa finally made way for me to revisit them.
& I found that there is nothing in stand up & run anymore.
I found that there is strength, & peace (oh so much peace), in hanging by a thread.
& I found the much needed familiarity in the closing half of the album, rather than what used to be in the opening.
Tiny lessons picked out here & there,
Surprisingly missed before.
Somehow Ben sounds like he is taking his time to make me understand all this.
Slowing down & pronouncing each syllable with, almost like, patience.
Oh peace.
Much needed peace.
Now I'm going to go & drink in dead silence.
Both on it's own, & as a whole.
