The Quiet Resonance: Watership Down, Duran Duran, and the English Soul of Early 90s Kirkholt

Cast your mind back to the early 1990s in England. More than just a decade, it was a particular feeling – a quiet, understated hum that settled over the landscape, seeped into our culture, and resonated deeply in places like Kirkholt, Rochdale. It was a pre-internet, pre-PlayStation era, where the world outside your window held a different kind of magic, and a certain animated film, made over a decade prior, seemed to encapsulate the very essence of Englishness. That film was the 1978 adaptation of Richard Adams' Watership Down . It wasn't just a story about rabbits; it was a visceral, often brutal, yet ultimately hopeful epic of survival, community, and the enduring spirit of the land.

Elven Echoes of the Celestial Forge

Elven Echoes of the Celestial Forge

A lyrical exploration of a forgotten elven civilisation, where nature and technology harmoniously coexisted a million years ago.




In the twilight of a million eons,
Where starlight wove through emerald leaves,
The elves danced on the cusp of creation,
Shaping whispers into crystalline tapestries.

Their spires kissed the sky,
Woven with silver filaments,
Each note in harmony with the winds,
Mechanisms of light, a symphony of breath.

Glistening springs of liquid dawn,
Powered by the pulse of ancient trees,
Every flower a prism, every branch a bridge,
Connecting realms unseen, intertwined.

With knowledge draped in moonlit shadows,
They sculpted time with deft fingers,
In their gaze, the cosmos spiraled,
Infinite echoes of potential unbound.

But the stars turned, a slow lament,
Eons eroded the golden seams,
Yet in whispers of the rustling leaves,
Their legends pulse, like heartbeats in the dark.

Lost to the mists of forgotten lore,
Yet alive in the pulse of the cosmos,
Elven spirits dance in the starlit ether,
Crafting dreams, through the veil of time.
