Each song has an accompanying video which illustrates the moods and feelings of the journey as portrayed by Gedge.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_fuYjQ8a_h4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>It\u2019s hard to deny the brilliance of a band that, so late in its career, can crank out an album as passionate, hook-filled, and flat-out fiery as this<\/em>\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>AllMusic<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Full of bizarre twists and turns that make it unlike any album they have released to date\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0<strong>Drowned In Sound<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div>[space height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Wedding Present was formed in 1985 and has strived on with longevity thanks to the dedication and persistence of lead man David Gedge who seems to be enveloped in the art of his music writing, especially the new music that has been written for &#8216;Going, Going&#8217;.
