I hope you enjoy today’s video. The song I refer to is Silver Lining by (my favorite singer/songwriter) David Gray. It’s a beautiful, meaningful (and addictive) song.
Here are part of the lyrics:
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope
Now can you tell me why
Time after time
They drag you down
Down in the darkness deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don’t sleep
Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands
Blaze it in the morning
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for
Innocence and magic-amen
Don’t let the fools and their madness bring you down. Your reality is Love…everything else is merely an illusion created by your mind. The Light never sleeps. Get it?

Thanks for your inspiring videos, Rich! I will keep coming back to this one especially. Very timely!
Rich,
love it!

Love it ! Quit my job this past year at 59 with most of my friends thinking I was crazy and have replaced my income and FEEL GREAT! Follow your dreams.
Thanks Rich ;0
Back in 1999, someone at my office handed me a David Gray CD and said, “I’ve heard what you’ve been listening to and I think you’ll appreciate this”. He was right – I played it three times straight and was enchanted by the end…
The thoughtful and poignant lyrics, the sometimes sorrowful – sometimes joyous music, the absolutely soulful voice – all of it sucked me in and have kept me there. I agree, the Silver lining fits right in.
I can understand the ’safe box’ comfort, but if you don’t take risks there is no reward
David Gray is awesome, definately a great songwriter
Light Inside of You by Ronan Tynan also would apply here…
Ronan is pretty hot too!
Ronan or D Gray…Gray hands down
Agreed, David Gray is in another class
Is the light always on inside the fridge? Ifyes, then that’s like us all -we’re big, living, breathng fidges…does that make any sense?
You need to check your inner fridge out – can I open my mind quickly enough to see how the darkness looks? Now that’s deep!
David Gray is amazing…his lyrics are incredible. He is totally addictive, in a wonderful way…
Clyde, I just tried to find out the asnwer to your question but couldn’t quite squeeze intro the fridge to find out! We’ll just have to trust that the light is always on!
Yes, David Gray is a prophet…
