I have just
finished a review of a heavy progressive rock instrumental album. This album by Diana Johnstone could not be more different. The
compositions are melodic, folky, acoustic and their major strength
is the lyrical content.
The album appears to be a journey through a
life describing the pain of leaving one partner and the intrigue of
finding another. I think that ‘Tired of your blues’ will hit home
with many people:
I’m growing
tired of you
Oh yes it’s true,
From Monday through to Sunday ,I’m Tired of you…. |

‘Beloved child’ is about the parental grief
caused by a grown child leaving
home and many parents will understand the feelings that this song
evokes.
I have an idea that these musical poems may highlight Diana’s
intimate emotions from both happy and sad life experiences and if
you take the time to listen to the lyrical content then you will
either learn something, or perhaps empathise and understand exactly
what she is getting at. Either way you will be touched by the
content.
