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;. The songs and lyrics are a bit more spiritual and contemplative compared to previous music written by the band with unexpected twists and turns that steer the listener away from the monotonous pop structure songwriting standards that plague a majority of popular music today. \u00a0With an album title that is hinting toward the end of the road for The Wedding Present now is the time to catch them on what could be their last tour. \u00a0They will be playing in the US throughout the month of April with supporting indie pop star Colleen Green.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align:
