There's been some excellent Hogarth era moments.  These are my favourites :-

  • The guitar solo in Easter - it's enough to bring tears to your eyes  (I know I'm a soppy git !!)
  • When H screams "With a hole in our hearts" at the end of Berlin
  • The build up of Hard as Love.  "It makes you hungry and it makes you high" through to "Baby nothin else has ever been as hard as love". Awesome !!
  • The moving silence of "Out of this World" when the boat flips
  • The sheer emotions of "One Fine Day"
  • Pete's bass on "Quartz"
  • The Rothers solo on "Fantastic Day"
So here I am once more

As for my favorite Hogarth era song... that would be The Great Escape during the Last of You section... absolutely stunning.

The whole "Childhood's End section, building up to "Lead me on..." and the tempo change / keyboard part that follows. It's very rare that I hear a tempo change that fits so well within a story that's been told. And... goosebumps every time!

^ Good one.

I would also submit:

"Receive your punishment, expose your throats to my righteous claws and let the blood flow"

"Romance lies in ruin, let debauchery reign"

The entire second half of the song Script.

"So was it just a f, was it just a f, just another f I said, loving just for laughs, carnal autograph, lying on a lizard's bed"

The middle section of That Time of the Night..."and if some kind soul could please pick up my tab, and while they're at it if they could pick up my broken heart"

And the lyrical finale of The Last Straw beginning with "So if you ever come across us..."

 
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

It has to be the Neil Diamond sounding vocals on Afraid of Sunlight.

The guitar solo in Jigsaw sends shivers down my spine.

There are many, many others, but that's the very best. Everything from Script to Clutching at Straws is excellent and Grendel is a great long piece.

I don't have any faves.. but I really love when the "You didn't notice me as I passed you on the stairs" part in 100 Nights starts... love that part (until the end of the song)
Interested in my reviews?

My fave Hogarth era bits are Berlin, The Space, Splintering Heart, 100 Nights, The Great Escape & King.... all superb.

Here's a few which spring to mind :-

  • The beginning of "The Web" - "Don't Give Me Your Problems"
  • The mid-section news report from "Forgotten Sons" - "Your father drains another beer, he's one of the few that cares"
  • The end lyric..........."And what do you call assassins who accuse assassins anyway, MY FRIEND ?"
  • The kick in to "Punch & Judy"
  • The dynamics of "Emerald Lies" - "Through the Silk Cut Haze......"
  • The Real to Reel intro of "Assassing"
  • "A train sleeps in a siding, the driver guzzles another can of lager"
  • All of "That Time of the Night"
  • The spine tingling start to "White Russian" - "Where do we go from here ?"
  • The conversation between Torch & The Doctor on "Torch Song" -"If you maintain this lifestyle, you won't reach 30..........Christ well it's sort of a romantic way to go really"

Ah, the memories............
So here I am once more

messages of love
they arrive everyday
people you touch
wasting away
people you don't know
give you no choice

and you're sick to your stomach
by the sound of your voice
and the shape of your face
and the sound of your name
they send you pictures of yourself
it's someone you don't know
and they call you a genius
because you're easier to sell
but the fire in your belly
that gave you the songs
is sudenly gone

and you feel like a fake
is that what you want?
i hope for your sake
you've got what it takes
to be spoilt
to death

i wonder why no-one has yet suggested the end
section of KING (from "afraid of sunlight")...
progressive rock and rural tranquility don't match. true or false?

It's not just about spanking the monkey...

Although I think it probably is on no less than 3 levels;

1. When the ex gets married, he'll never consumate another relationship, to show his deep commitment and passionate involvement with her... but he'll paint the ceiling once in a while.

2. He has a thing about women in wedding attire.

and

3. Great! Now she's gone, I can pull the old mags out from under the floorboards where I hid them the first time she stayed over...

 

...but I could be mistaken...

Probably that first solo in Grendel (at about 5 minutes), followed by the unison runs between Kelly and Rothery... utter magic.
