two places at once

gems from the best band in the world part 1
the church - been cranking out fine music for 28 years now
have out-lasted, out-delivered, out-played, out-everything all others
in 1993 they called it a day - not sure why but it's not 'musical differences'
i'd be willing to suggest that the man over-promised and totally under-delivered
thankfully 2 of the core members kept the name alive and delivered sometime anywhere
an album of stunning music free of the shackles of contracts, expectation and familiarity
leading to an eventual reform of the band with a freedom still permeating today
an album released in 2009 with the joyous sound of independence dominant
but - rewind to 1994 - this track the sound of a new future possibility
this clip is quite sublime - the images and lyrics perfectly matched
recorded in mexico cutting between band-of-2 performances and storyline
the suggestion of ghosts in the tune conveyed brilliantly in the video
but the music - strings, guitars, choruses, gentle, rock-out, etc, etc
a staggering reminder of all that is possible in contemporary music
15 years later and they're still trailing a blaze musically
long live the church says this long-time hard-core fan
but for now - two places at once - is beautiful
