Nice read, explanation of album title and working process. This album should be very different sounding!

A couple of things from this interview:

I’m working on another project at the moment, but also gathering ideas to go in the studio with Rick as soon as I get back to the U.K.

Some more material being written?

It’s great that Rick was using his voice a lot more on this record

No, it isn't!

It was something his (Rick's) father to his mother said not long before he passed away. “Barbara, Barbara we face a shining future.” His father was a great man, very inspiring and as soon Rick said that, before we got halfway through writing this material, it was just instant, “Yeah, that’s the title.”

So is the woman in that artwork Rick's mother?
