    ‘Silver Linings’, released in April 2021, was embellished by a number of guest musicians and featured a fresh reworking of a few of Al Shalliker's older songs but is mostly made up of previously unreleased newer material. Influenced by the classic songwriters yet highly original, ‘Silver Linings’ is a powerful representation of Al’s inimitable style, made relevant for a new audience.

lyrics

Delusions of illusions, I can live without
You stole all my thunder, of that I have no doubt
If I am like the refugee, the war cannot be won
And you are like Medusa, searching for the sun

For all this lack of vision, I’m yet to find a cure
I’m heading for a home town, I’ve never seen before
If I am like the serpent hiding from your eyes
You are like Medusa, in beautiful disguise
In beautiful disguise
In beautiful disguise

Inside a distant memory, she said, I’ll turn you into stone
The Medusa turned her face to me, she bled, her eyes were not her own
Her eyes were not her own
Her eyes were not her own

For every foolish move I made, there’s a another up my sleeve
With every single card I played, I wanted to believe
I am like the singer, alone upon the stage
And you are like Medusa, waiting to be made
Waiting to be made
Waiting to be made
Waiting to be made
Waiting to be made
