New album after the last from November 2018 ?

Tour, series of shows, whatever. A tour can be small.

The shows would be small; the only song he could play would be I Used to Could.

I really cannot imagine that Mark doesn't want to play live anymore. Probably on a smaller scale would be fine with him, at least to complete the circuit (writing, recording, performing) so many times he talked about.

[Robson]

Me too.

We really do have an amazing ability to turn any thread into a discussion about what we think Mark’s future holds don’t we?!!

"Looking forward only"

This thread is about the future!

[KnopfleRick]

Yes, and they say Mark's only looking forward and not back, so I guess this thread is ok. 

[Robson]

It is interesting. Mark doesn't look back. But in songs, he often looks to the past. He writes more and more autobiographical songs.

I think he does actually look back but Guy uses this statement in order to avoid answering awkward questions. 

[Robson]

Yes. He does not return to DS, he does not present new versions of old songs. He doesn't record covers etc. But he looks back in his songs. And for that I appreciate him very much.

Very well said!  I exactly see it like you.

[Robson]

I'm glad

Yes. He does not return to DS, he does not present new versions of old songs. He doesn't record covers etc. But he looks back in his songs. And for that I appreciate him very much.

And yet he plays them, as well as other old solo songs at his shows.  The only time he didn't look back was on the first tour!  People buy tickets for his shows based on his past.  His considerable reputation, for which he should be proud of, is based on his past.  It's not a realistic statement to make.

[Robson]

Agreed, but I didn't think about concerts specifically. I was thinking about the future of MK. There are 20 new songs on each album. He is very creative  with the passing of time. I wrote earlier that I appreciate him that he doesn't record any covers, Christmas songs. Mark writes new songs all the time - this is his future.
