I was I introduced to Chris De Burgh by my Father, he made me a cassette copy from vinyl. I loved the hiss and crackle of old records. Hearing this 30+ years later it evokes emotions in me more than it ever did before, as this trilogy means more in this day and age than it did to me as a child who knew very little about this world. Even more so for Rosanna, which actually bought tears to my eyes, as a Father myself now. Chris is an incredible songwriter. And even though I am an atheist, I love all the Bible references, thry work so well in his songs, and even though I am not religious I have a deep respect for those who are.

THE LEADER
Lyrics
I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;
A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again;
For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes

THE VISION
Lyrics
And I saw a burning chariot,
And the four horsemen of the apocalypse,
Waiting on high,
And I heard the thunder rolling in,
And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky;
And I saw this land a battlefield,
With a hundred thousand men,
Fighting hand to hand,
And I heard the sounds of victory,
And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies;
And I, I saw fire from the sky,
I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise, )
Fire from the sun, I saw fire,
And I saw Alpha and Omega;
Fire, I saw fire,
And I saw paradise, (paradise, )
Fire, I saw fire;

WHAT ABOUT ME?
Lyrics
I am left in the night, trembling with fear
I have seen to the future and the future is here
Our leader will bring victory but our land is in flames
And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say
What about me and you and the ones that we love?
What about me and you and the ones that we love?
Well, what about us?

I was introduced to Chris De Burgh songs by my Step Father who loved your music.
I've always loved music and open to alternative music I've not discovered but more often can quickly not connect with it. However your music instantly resonated with me and although for a large period of my life I remember the lyrics to literally thousands of songs and always sing along to them but never zoned in to messages that the words can carry within them. I listened to music but did not hear it.
I was blind in the past as they say but now I see.
Your songs have blessed me with many profound messages and pathways of discovery to open up to and explore. I'm now Spiritually enlightened and your music has been hugely significant in that journey.
Don't pay the Ferryman for example, seeking to know Who? Why? Where? the belief of the passing over between Life and Death required a boat journey & money to pay for it.
Later in life recalling that in Movies many Ancient Civilisations placed coins on the eyes on the dead confirming their belief in the Ferryman.
Further still when I met my girlfriend who loves Music too and feels the power of it, one night I spoke of your Music and mentioned a few song titles and the story they tell.
She hadn't discovered your music & wasn't aware of the Ferryman story.
I explained it and how the Ancients gave coins to their dead too.
My girlfriend is a Nurse & spent many hours involved in Theatre during extensive Surgery lasting for many hours. She told me that every patient when they are brought out of their Anaesthetised state talks about being on a boat journey. They never remember afterwards though.
The Ferryman story was confirmed and the existence of a Soul within us too.
The patients body being synthetically kept alive, heavily sedated & only breathing under life support equipment comfuses the Soul we are dead and our soul goes on its journey. When we are brought back around our Soul is pulled back into us but is conscious of the journey thus we become conscious of it and tell the boat story.
It blew my mind!
Changed my life too. Connected me to my Soul and to our source or God.
Thankyou eternally for your music and it's power.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse song and the Leader Trilogy just reminded me of where your music channeled me and I wanted to express my ultimate gratitude

If I had to name the best Album of all time in my diverse taste in music, into the light by Chris De Burgh is it. Absolutely amazing Album which I never stop playing even in 2020
