when gloominess
deflects the gale
joy is the wind
that fills the sail
when despair is
tricking the scale
joy is the clue
that tells the tale
when spleen is thick
and hopes are pale
joy is meaning
that lifts the veil
when no reason
can find the trail
joy is compass
towards the grail

hey ! :o)
thanks for the appreciation !
it's not like i have much choice though... maybe i can't beat it, but i have no intention of joining it...
and anyhow, life makes it abundantly clear that i must keep going, one way or another, regardless of circumstances and despite the odds... so i do what i can with the very limited means that i have... it's a matter of survival of the spirit, and of expressing my nature as a creative...
glad that you enjoy it... and thanks for the Sting video... he remains a major influence in my songwriting endeavours...
best wishes,
Chris

...i GREATLY RESPECT STING - HE KEEPS ON GOING, REGARDLESS...UNSTOPPABLE GENUINE CREATIVITY AND AN AUTHENTIC SOUL-FLOW...HE ALWAYS SURPRISES ME WITH SOMETHING FRESH AND ADORABLE AND VERY UNIQUE - LIKE HERE ON THIS UNUSUAL TRACK IN COLLABORATION WITH MANU KATCHE ON DRUMS (MANU KATCHE ALWAYS PLAYS PERFECTLY WITHIN THE AMBIANCE, WHETHER HE PLAYS WITH JAN GARBAREK OR WITH PETER GABRIEL, OR...) - IT IS A PURE DELIGHT - I CAN NOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS TUNE...i SO ADMIRE BOTH OF THEM TOGETHER...

quite the unusual track indeed...
sometimes in interviews he reveals some of the philosophy that supports his creative endeavours... to me, he's one of those who really understand what they must be doing here on this earth, and he just keeps on doing it... purpose and duty... very inspiring... pure delight it is...
