All That is Different is Part of the Dance
Presented on Intruders as a coda, to provide a positive ending to the album, "All That is Different" was one of two songs originally written for Chris Foster's 'A Sting in the Tale' stage show. Based on a line from William Blake's book, America A Prophesy, the song looks at the world of the future and revolves around a question: does it have to be that way? (Leon set more of Blake's lines to music in the 1960s - the poem, "The Garden of Love" - later recording it for Love Loneliness Laundry (1977).)
This song was recorded separately from the rest of the album, with Leon not present (it features just Chris Foster and Sianed Jones). We might therefore speculate that it was originally intended for release as a Chris Foster recording, for whom it was originally written. (No Chris Foster release is known to this reviewer.)
