Fish and the other garden

There are still some places for higher-quality popular music that tackles difficult or really underground but essential topics. The Scottish poet-singer Fish addresses the theme of memory loss linked to old age (Alzheimer's, senility).

He does this by a double reversal:

1- not from an overlooking observation, say like the lucid visitor of a patient or a sick parent, but from the inside, according to an existential and phenomenological look (not: "what am I observing ?", but "how do I receive the experience?").

2- not by the visitor's gaze, but by the impressions of the visitor. Here, it is the point of view of the husband during his wife's visit.

Do not think that this mechanism is the only value of this track : everything is in place, perfectly composed and performed. To the question “where did this person who I loved and still love go?”, Fish does not merely give an answer: he plunges us into the twists and turns of its complexity.
