Product Description
"Sparkle," found on the album Rift and written for Tom Marshalls wife, tells the tale of a man on his knee. He is prepared to ask his beloveds hand in marriage as the weight of the future that is rapidly unfolding before him presses down upon his head, all the while his heart soars with all the unbridled emotion of a man in love. To truly know the sensation, it must be experienced. Faced with the pressure from friends, from family, from heart, and head, the groom to be is overcome by the simultaneous and conflicting emotions of courage and fear, sobriety and hilarity, unable to withstand the matter-antimatter conflict in the warp drive of his brain he laughs... and, laughing, falls apart.
Musically Sparkle mimics the soon-to-be former bachelors pulse rate. Slow at first, building to a frenetic, seizure-inducing cacophony by its end, it is blue-speed-metal-grass at its finest. The pulverizing jackhammer that Sparkle often becomes live, when combined with strobe lighting with the potential to induce vomiting or at the very least, disorientation, can make this often-played much-maligned song somewhat uncomfortable for the average listener.
