One more thing: If you think in your native language, and in your mind have to translate what you intend to say into English, "disaster" is bound to happen. Which makes writing good lyrics quite difficult. Additionally, I'm not quite up to date regarding the finer details, the nuances (that word too), and I quite often tend to use quite the same words again and again. But quite often I have trouble finding the best (most correct) words, and I assume that sometimes you find my writing a bit (quite?) awkward (had to look up that word). But that's my personal opinion.Īnd, imho, in societies in which extroverson is favoured over introversion, and introversion maybe even considered as something unnatural, it is clear for me, why spirituality is not considered as something important.īut when you're not completely familiar with a languaghe it will be more difficult to write good texts. To me, personally, this is also a clash of extroversion vs. Who needs spirituality when a bread can fill the stomach ? Or a bottle of beer covering the inside ? Yet there are stil people - mostly ignored these days or considered outright as freaks - who need some other kind of "food" as well. We are living in an age in which material wealth counts so much more, and buries everything, whereas spirituality is something not seen as important because everything that's physical appears to cover all of our needs. Spirituality is something which is these days more frown upon. On a personal note (and this is Alrik Fassbauer speaking), I often have the impression of comments like "these lyrics are rubbish" coming from people who are not able to interpret them in a spiritual way. I get high and low on the whole concept of life - 'I get up, I get down'. So many people lived so well while so many people didn't. Jon Anderson : "When I started singing 'Two million people barely satisfied' I had in my mind what was happening around the world, starvation in African countries. It wasn't just the River Thames but now the referencing of being close to the edge of some kind of enlightment." He'd take an idea of mine but then he'd set it into a different global sensibility. So the idea was that as human beings we are close to the edge - the edge of realization." Quote : "The river leads you to the ocean, all the paths lead you to the divine. Jon Anderson was strongly influenced by "Siddartha" by Hermann Hesse. One song of Chris Howe had "close to the edge, down by the river" (Howe meant his living place, then, the river Thames), which was caught by Jon Anderson In the Prog Magazine March 2022, the album's development is discussed, and in it, Jon Anderson explains these lyrics a bit : Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.These lyrics often have a more spiritual underlying meaning.
