Chris de Burgh is a true Minstrel , Bard, and Storyteller...and, "The Mirror of the Soul" is one of the best Progressive Rock tunes to come out in the 21st century ;-) I will be playing this song on the World United Music podcast.
with a singer like De Burgh, the visuals are just an accompaniment....his singing is as visual as it is spectacular. he was, is & shall remain a great singer, no matter what.
Spacemsn came traveling... und dann wieder das alte "Kirchenlied..." 👍🏻der Mann ist ein Magier und 33° Freimaurer. Er kennt die universellen Gesetze. Und er weist darauf hin. Man kann seine mentale Entwicklung in den musikalischen Zyklen ablesen. Wenn man weiß wie 👍🏻💖 Ich kenne seine Musik seit ich mich erinnern kann. Es ist faszinierend. Ein Genius und begnadeter Künstler. Im übrigen bedeutet Okkultismus nichts anderes als geheimes Wissen um Naturgesetze. Es ist seit geraumer Zeit eine Dämonisierung sehr vieler Begriffe festzustellen. Das ist sehr bedauerlich. Viele Künstler sind Logen-Mitglieder. Warum auch nicht.? Einzig und allein das Motiv ist entscheidend, wofür man es einsetzt . Dafür muss man tatsächlich irgendwann in gewisser Weise geradestehen. So einfach ist das . 😉 Und alles was man tun muss ist, die richtigen Fragen stellen.
One of my absolute favourite songs. Can't wait to see Chris in concert again. November 29 is going to be a great day after being in quarantine for a year and a half.
He is a genius and one of the most kindhearted and one of the most caring and most sensitive people that has ever been put on the earth and i love him more than anything else in the whole entire world and i love him totally to the moon and back forever
The Mirror of the soul lyrics ...what a profoundly deep Spiritual song. Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand; He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in? Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin..... 'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen, And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun, He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul; We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire, Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine; Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing, Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring; When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls; With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land, And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands, In our hands; When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire, Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine! That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere, Had to give up all their possessions at the Abbe St. Pierre, But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of Eternal life, And the center of it all was a diamond divine, It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine, So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone; It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends, And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem, And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light, And people came from everywhere to see it, When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine, Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light, They could not make it shine. And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the Things they had done, And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the Gate past the place where it had begun; And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories, Would come to nothing after all, Because a power greater from the world's creator Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, Only love can light the mirror of the soul; All through the world, there are many others, who always follow Everything they are told, By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and Tales to assume control; But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories, Will come to nothing after all, Because a power greater from the world's creator Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, Only love can light the mirror of the soul; They come to nothing after all; Because a power greater from the world's creator Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul, Only love can light the mirror of the soul.

Interesting story... "The greater the effort exerted for the refinement of this sublime and noble mirror, the more faithfully will it be made to reflect the glory of the names and attributes of God, and reveal the wonders of His signs and knowledge..." ~ Abdu'l Baha, Baha'i Faith
Love this song and the album it came from. Did you know there is a book based on the song "The Mirror of the Soul" from this album? I found it on Amazon. The book uses the same approach as this song as it weaves many of Chris's songs into an epic story. Highly recommended!
Look the eyes the mirror,the spirit is the mirror the highest upful,tell us, who is the one living creator upon the across spiritual image for soul,?Idea find it""the word is God ,the mirror of the perception by the way in the room for our savior Jesus ,the way.***,🏃🏼♀️🔥🌹👩🔬🦸👣

Ich liebe dieses Lied und das Video von Chris de Burgh ganz besonders. Eine ganz besonders gelungene Prodiktion und ein wirklich großer Sänger.
Und wenn man erst die Kontroversen in den Lyrics erkennt 🤔🤣👍🏻👍🏻

"Only LOVE Can Light The Mirror Of The Soul" ...
This is one of the absolute best songs by Chris de Burgh and there are many to choose from.
Very moving!
Just wonderful.
The Mirror of the soul lyrics ...what a profoundly deep Spiritual song.
Brother, there's a man at the gate, he has something in his hand;
He says it fell down from the sky, should I let him in?
Maybe it's an omen, maybe it will take away our sin, our sin.....
'Tis a diamond that he has, the biggest one I've ever seen,
And when he holds it in his hand, it's shining like the sun,
He says it's from another world, he calls it the mirror of the soul;
We must place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine;
Brother, fetch the Abbot now, tell him of this wondrous thing,
Tell him that we'll have control of all the riches it will bring;
When people come to see it, for money we will purify their souls, their souls;
With my knife I'll kill this man, I'll send him to the Promised Land,
And when we take the diamond, we will have the future in our hands,
In our hands;
When we place it on the altar high, send the Devil to the fire,
Power over men we'll have when they see it shine, when they see it shine!
That's how it started, that whole new religion, and people everywhere,
Had to give up all their possessions at the Abbe St. Pierre,
But with their gold they could buy a redemption, and the promise of
Eternal life,
And the center of it all was a diamond divine,
It was up there on the altar high but for the monks it would not shine,
So with subterfuge they used the light of the sun, fooling everyone;
It was late at night when a young boy was in there with his friends,
And they dared him up to the altar, to touch the famous gem,
And when he did, the whole place exploded with a great and wonderful light,
And people came from everywhere to see it,
When he took it from the altar high, everyone could make it shine,
Except the Abbot and his men, for them, no light,
They could not make it shine.
And in the end, many heard the brothers, making confession of the
Things they had done,
And the Abbot led that sad procession, as they went through the
Gate past the place where it had begun;
And all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
Would come to nothing after all,
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul;
All through the world, there are many others, who always follow
Everything they are told,
By men with rules and regulations, using old superstitions and
Tales to assume control;
But all their dreams of glory, all their schemes and stories,
Will come to nothing after all,
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul;
They come to nothing after all;
Because a power greater from the world's creator
Gave us love to light the mirror of the soul,
Only love can light the mirror of the soul.
Chris, I still love you, happy birthday today.
