Reason To Live

The multitude of whirring messages of 'Reason to Live' are united by Barlow's roiling multilayered arrangements and the understanding that change is inevitable - and that it can bring you a new reason to live in the darkest times. 'This album is me really opening up, and the album follows that through its many different themes', he says. 'Some of my other work could be almost claustrophobic in its insistence on being all tied together but there's space for people to live inside these songs'. 'The songs culminated over the last five years to show that music has returned to its central comforting role in my life. Now I'm home'.
