aura

and presenting the second part in the series of classic church tunes
the church - them being the best band in the world by a few light years
this clip not an official church endorsed music vid but a youtube discovery
some seriously creative fan has put together and posted this video
being a bunch of literally fantastic images suited to the music
i watched it through once and thought it was quite interesting
then as usual once is not enough with this exceptional tune
so an immediate second viewing drew me in further and deeper
now it's on repeat play and forever linked to this tune
it may not be official but i'd say it would be approved
aura is the opening track off the album priest = aura
released in 1992 and still sounding as fresh as...
the tune itself being 7 minutes of genre-defining glory
a lovely orchestral introduction and an ear-piercing outro
in-between a melodic bassline, singing guitars, cracking drums
stunning production from scottish wunderkid-at-the-time gavin mackillop
mr kilbey delivering up his sublime poetry-lyrics as uniquely as ever
such lyrics seemingly having an influence on the video producer
the imagery of the words strongly linked to the clip visuals
this one is travelling with me to the desert island
another in a long list of church ageless classics
and now with a clip allowing similar repeat play
happy birthday to me - thank-you sunshine and spirit
