about

The trapeze as a metaphor for helping a friend in need, and how you can't help even those most close to you if they don't want to be saved.

lyrics

Times when you remember all
Quick to rise and fast to fall
Times when time stood still and hands held fast

Life clings to life and then
Slow to rise and fall again
Times when you have given all you had

A man holds out his hand to help
Just so many times
But when the net is gone the man will fall

Crash and learn in December rain
Twist and turn, remembering
When you've given all you have to give

And still you'll fly again

A man holds out his hand to help
Just so many times
But when the net is gone the man will fall
Fingers slip away
And then I'll see you fall
And hit the ground

As a side note, the bassist of Renaissance, Jon Camp, brings his incredible bass skills to this project. His old Renaissance friends will want to pay special attention to this one -- especially the title track which has those monster Jon Camp melodic bass chops that are his trademark. Ronald Lindeboom

well what can I say. The rhythm section on this live performance is the best playing since I saw Yes play with Bruford and Squire in the early 70s. I dont know whether Dave gregory is in the band for this performance but the songs are his legacy if hes not. Favourite track is Hedgerow mainly due to the wonderful violin solo. 9 out of 10 for me. digger60

I love the eclectic nature of this well-crafted album and play it regularly when making lengthy journeys by car. It just sounds right. laureate39
