Seal: Citáty v angličtine

“Miracles will happen as we trip. But we're never gonna survive, unless…
We get a little crazy”

"Crazy"
Seal (1991)
Kontext: A man decides after seventy years,
That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door.
While those around him criticize and sleep...
And through a fractal on a breaking wall,
I see you my friend, and touch your face again.
Miracles will happen as we trip. But we're never gonna survive, unless...
We get a little crazy

“Family, my wife and children, that's my reason for being.”

On his album System, as quoted in "Seal" profile at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (CBS) (4 December 2007) http://alpha.cbs.com/specials/victorias_secret_2007/seal.php
Kontext: Family, my wife and children, that's my reason for being. Everything is done with them in mind, so perhaps that's the reason this new album is up-tempo. It does feel like a celebration of life. I am finally in a content and happy place to the point where I feel like I need to sing about it. It's made me want to address things that are close to home.

“People can believe whatever they want to believe.”

On his facial scars which were the result of a childhood bout with Lupus, as quoted in "Seal: Still Crazy After All These Years" by Fiona Sturges in The Independent (11 October 2003)
Kontext: I've heard everything —that they were the result of ancient ritual induction into childhood that involved wrestling a wild boar, that I was viciously attacked by a gang. Someone even wrote that I was abducted by aliens who left me with a mark. You know, I really don't care. People can believe whatever they want to believe.

“Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.”

"Prayer For The Dying"
Seal (1994)
Kontext: Crossing that bridge,
With lessons I've learned.
Playing with fire,
And not getting burned.
I may not know what you're going through.
But time is the space,
Between me and you.
Life carries on... it goes on.

“Did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.”

"Kiss from a Rose" - Lyrics online http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=3821
Seal (1994)

“Myself and the people close to me are all part of a social system, and we were being conditioned to accept the status quo.”

As quoted in "Seal" profile at Victoria's Secret Fashion Show (CBS) (4 December 2007)
Kontext: Myself and the people close to me are all part of a social system, and we were being conditioned to accept the status quo. But on this album, I'm saying it's time for us to take charge. We can change it. We can take control of our emotional system and be happy. My point is don't just sit there and allow life to happen to you. Go out and take charge if you want change, but it begins closer to home.

“Oh darlin…
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?”

"Crazy"
Seal (1991)
Kontext: Oh darlin...
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?
In a world full of people, only some want to fly,
Isn't that crazy?

“There's nothing better than going out there and performing and making that connection with audiences. Even after all this time I get the biggest buzz from that.”
