I think the experience of the wish tour with @robertsmith and @thecure shows in this album. the experience had such a big impact on us all. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Everything on this album was written immediately before, right in the middle of or just after our wonderful experience with @thecure on the Wish tour in 1992 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

GOLDEN We played this for the first time in Rome on the European leg of the Wish tour. We had just recorded it with an 11 piece string section in the studio for the album #TimsTwitterListeningParty

A month after I first heard Cranes, I flew to London and bought my Forever shirt in Selectadisc in Soho. I still have it to this day. I felt so edgy and "Clear" reminds me of that a lot. Such a big attitude #TimsTwitterListeningParty

We were blessed to see how much joy @thecure gave to all those thousands of people every night for months. @RobertSmith has been a wonderful friend to us through all these years. We love the remix of Jewel he did for us #TimsTwitterListeningParty

ADRIFT This one is about an embrace between two people under a moonlit sky, holding on for dear life…Feeling like they are on a raft which is about to drift into a storm…Not wanting to let go. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Adrift - OMG!!!! just an immense track from Mr Shaw, that subtle swing in the drums is fabulous. And then the impact #TimsTwitterListeningParty

FAR AWAY One of Jim’s finest moments I think! He has a natural ability for piano and string arrangements. When he was 5 he would sit listening to Mozart over and over again on a little record player #TimsTwitterListeningParty
