I See Resonances All Over

And then the other layers of ruins, where I grew up in the north-west, when factories were closing down, and we used to play in the factory buildings, enormous buildings, and they became overgrown, and I used to walk into the offices and see all the paperwork. I remember seeing paperwork with brambles growing out of it, because they’d decayed so much that it was able to support another form of life. I remember thinking how, all the accounts were written by hand, and I remember thinking how interesting it was that someone would spend their life on this stuff, and now it is just fodder for a blackberry bush growing out of it. So all those ruins were very important to me growing up. And I liked it, I liked the melancholy of it, the change of it and so on. And that means regrowth, you know, that there’s another world on its way, that was the world of the sixties and everything that promised, which didn’t quite come to pass, but it was a great vision of the future. So it’s that moment that travelled with me as I grew up, and I see resonances all over....

(Just read this in the John Foxx Quietus interview you posted and thought of these images.)
