A Trick Of The Tail

THE REVIEW

Do you want to immerse yourself in a fantastic world, escape reality for a handful of minutes, want to get to know, but just long enough to bond with the inhabitants of a parallel planet, you have to hurry and convince yourself that the best way to start the journey is to close your eyes, look, you see the mountain, the fire is the beginning:

"Holy Mother of God
You have to go faster to reach the top
Old dirty mountain
All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone
So you'd better start doing things right
You'd better start doing things right

You're halfway to the top and halfway down
And the burden on your back is making you change your mind
Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember
Don't look back whatever you do
You'd better start doing things right "

"Dance On A Volcano"

Don't worry, the beginning is difficult, the pace is fast, unsettling, but then comes the calm... lie down, now you're on a bed, the music is calm and flows without making you startle,

"Well, if we can help you, we will,
You look tired and sick
As soon as I start counting backward your eyes will become heavier and heavier.
Sleep, let yourself fall
Nothing can harm you
With your consent
I can experiment more and more"

It's relaxing, isn't it? The fear has passed, now you can finally breathe a sigh of relief, but

"Well, thanks to our kindness and friendliness
You won’t have any problems as long as
You take a breath
And the nurse will present you with the bill"

"Entangled"

Bad surprise, right? You have to be careful; this world is unpredictable, and it's very easy to have bad encounters and be deceived, but it's also easy to come across bizarre things,

"He’s distrustful, he’s distrustful
You would be too
He’s afraid of being left all alone
He doesn’t have a friend to play Ugly Duckling with
The pressure builds, the bubble will burst before our eyes And meanwhile, right at the right moment
His tears fall to the ground
But if you don't stand tall you won’t have any chance "

Curious, and remember:

"The Squonk is naturally shy, and due to its ugliness, it weeps continuously.
It is easy prey for hunters who simply follow the trail of tears it leaves along the way.
When backed into a corner it dissolves into tears."

"Squonk"

"It was summer when the river dried,
Or was it just another dam.
When the damage of a snowflake in June
Could still be a source of relief.
Oh, how much I love you, I screamed once long ago.
But I decided to leave.
To search beyond the last peak,
Even though I heard that only birds could stay that high.

So I pretended to have wings instead of arms
And I soared into the air.
I flew to places that clouds never see,
Too close to sand deserts,
Where a thousand mirages, shepherds of lies
Forced me to land and pretend
I would happily take a kick from a horse that would send me back
If I could find a horse not made of sand"

"Mad Man Moon"

Listen, hear the bizarre and crazy stories being told to you, the "Mad Man Moon," what an incredible adventure, but will it be true? Or is it another deception in this mad world you've immersed yourself in? Because "A Trick Of The Tail" is not just any place, you've realized it by now, so watch out for everything that passes by, dangerous men specialized in "Robbery and assault," but also ah.... there they are!

"Girls in blue come from everywhere
Some are wise, others are different,
They have beautiful blue eyes.
For an hour a man can change
For an hour their faces seem strange,
Seem strange, seem strange"

"Ripples"

Don’t fall in love! Not now, you're almost at the end, do you hear the notes marking the closure in the distance? The time has come to wake up and leave the mad world of "A Trick Of The Tail," you've finished your journey, lift the needle and gently place the record back in the sleeve, until next time.

For me, this is "A Trick Of The Tail", thank you Genesis.
