He created such staggeringly brilliant work, yes, but so much of it and it was so good. He was intelligent, imaginative, brave, charismatic, cool, sexy and truly inspirational both visually and musically. An open letter to her fans about her "Before the Dawn" concerts (26 August 2014 - 1 October 2014), in "After the Dawn" at her official "FISH P∑ΩPL∑" site "(22 October 2014).It was a truly special and wonderful feeling for all of us. Thank you so very much to everyone who came to the shows and became part of that shared experience. I just never imagined it would be possible to connect with an audience on such a powerful and intimate level to feel such, well quite frankly, love. You could feel their support from the minute we walked on stage. Every single night they were so behind us. One of the main reasons for wanting to perform live again was to have contact with that audience.They took my breath away. Audiences that you could only ever dream of. I was really delighted that the shows were received so positively and so warmly but the really unexpected part of it all was the audiences. It was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. It was quite a surreal journey that kept its level of intensity right from the early stages to the end of the very last show. Now all the shows are over, it's pretty difficult to explain how I feel about it all.Interview on The Mark Radcliff Show, BBC Radio 2 (7 November 2005).But why so much attention on something that's so shallow? I mean, okay, so that's valid for what it is, too. I mean, the important people are surgeons and doctors and people actually put people back together and make a difference to people's lives. Why are celebrities so important to people? It's absolute crap. I mean, I find it completely ridiculous this obsession with celebrities. It's too to do with other people's perceptions of who you are, and what's important to me is to be a human being who has a soul, and who hopefully has a sense of who they are, not who everybody else thinks you are.Īnd I think, you know, that's something that's very difficult for people who become extremely famous. somebody in the industry, as a pop star or whatever, it's too distracting.
For me to get into that creative process I have to have a sort of quiet place that I work from.On her song " Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)", in a Radio 1 Classic Albums interview with Richard Skinner (26 January 1992).But we were told that if we kept this title that it would not be played in any of the religious countries, Italy wouldn't play it, France wouldn't play it, and Australia wouldn't play it! Ireland wouldn't play it, and that generally we might get it blacked purely because it had God in the title. You see, for me it is still called "Deal With God", that was its title. And I thought, "well, no, why not a deal with God!" You know, because in a way it's so much more powerful the whole idea of asking God to make a deal with you. you know, I thought a deal with the devil, you know. And really the only way I could think it could be done was either. And I think it would lead to a greater understanding. And if we could actually swap each other's roles, if we could actually be in each other's place for a while, I think we'd both be very surprised!. I was trying to say that, really, a man and a woman, can't understand each other because we are a man and a woman.
Profiles in Rock interview (December 1980).And at the same time it is a forced importance - you know, football stars and theatre stars - It is man-made so the press can feed off it.
or maybe not as important sometimes, and yet they have this huge aura of almost god-like quality about them, just because their craft makes a lot of money. If it speaks to them and they get something positive from it, it’s great. Sometimes people mishear my lyrics and think a song’s about something it isn’t. I have intentions as a writer, but people - when they’re listening to a track - will take from it what they interpret.
