So sad, about the break up of his marriage ‘let the children come to me’ brings me to tears every time. So sad and beautiful, luv him xx 💚😘

SNOW BORNE SORROW Strip the branches Unsheathe the hatchets The threads of friendship Are coming off The teeth of lawyers Man the trenches Bands of betrothal Are coming off But if we’re good If we’re kind But if we’re good Generous and kind We’ll inhabit their sunsets Their goddesses and queens We’ll try to do the right thing (Oh save them) Oh save them (Oh save them) (Oh save them) Oh save them (Oh save them) Let the children come to me It’s a harrowing world Of adults and girls Lashing out at the hurt That surrounds them With the knives drawn apart They shatter the heart Of anyone that dares come between them Let the children come to me Once a playground of swings Then the malice set in And reduced all the colours to winter So we made it our own This snow borne sorrow And this love that stutters and splinters Let the children come to me Her apostles have gone They left one by one With no forwarding address to trace them It’s a secular world Of adults and girls And we ask because nothing is certain Let the children come to me When their feet touch the ground Naked unbound I want them to know they can trust me There’s so much to be ungrateful for Let the children come to me

he looks really tired here. if it is true, than i understand why he cancelled the Moscow concert :(

[@colinraycyrus68]

does anyone really like this stuff ..or is it just old japan fans sticking by him,,as am sorry but I just cant get into any of this music at all and believe me I have tried.

Writing an essay on him as we speak, doing a bit of research. As far as I can see, he's as much an artist with a vision as a musician, making the things that make him happy/make sense to him rather than conforming to a set ideal of musicality. Studying music I can attest that this is a hell of a lot nicer to listen to and makes more sense than most "art" pieces. But that's just how I see his music. I quite like it, and I discovered him long after the Japan days. I wasn't even born then :D thing about art is not every piece has to be your cup of tea.

[@colinraycyrus68]

NEMusic Now yes I can see were your coming from with the art vision but for me being a teen when Japan were recording , touring etc so I wanna see him make another album similier but I fear hes gone so dark in his music now that we will never see that again

[@Blitzentine]

Yeah, the essay I'm writing is about him developing as an artist, especially things like his work with Czukay. I quite like the darker stuff, but it's his development as an artist quite fascinating, because listening to his career and back catalogue feels like you're on a journey, and most of his music paints vivid imagery and tells a story within itself.

true artists tend to polarize

Haha, you just reminded me of this, unfortunately I only just got a 2:1 on it and given how I was feeling at the time, I'm glad I managed that, though I know it wasn't my best. I've unfortunately only got the marked version on this computer, so I probably wouldn't be able to send it.
