Con il pensiero rivolto alla drammatica situazione ambientale e geopolitica dell'epoca attuale, assieme alla consapevolezza della propria personale fragilità, Dave Sinclair pubblica un nuovo album solista che unisce brani recenti a riprese di altri precedenti, forte di presenze illustri - Robert Wyatt, Jimmy Hastings, Brian Hopper - e del determinante aiuto di Billie Bottle assieme ad altri amici del giro westbrookiano più giovanile (Martine Waltier, Roz Harding, Vivien Goodwin-Darke): Tears In His Eyes.
Scrive nelle note: "The first important track, The Piano Player, was initially recorded for my solo album in 1976, with lyrics and vocals from John Murphy, and subsequently recorded with Caravan in 1979. Then, I completely restructured it as a solo performance for a limited video release in 2021, but the audio from it has never been on general release until now. The other tracks, although some are familiar, haven’t been released before in their present form, and have different instrumentation, singers or solos. Working on this album has inspired me to continue with music, and I still have a large back catalogue of unreleased brand-new material. The mood of this album I feel is more in keeping with the general feeling in this world right now and reflects the potential vulnerability and uncertainty of the future that lies ahead for all of us. But ‘hope’ still remains eternal!"
