Thx. Great post. Reminding me that Sting is such an intellectual. In these lyrics he really expresses the connectedness we all feel at times. I am as far from being a hippie as it gets but I still sense the connectedness in absolutely everything.
“The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.”
― Carl Sagan
or, interestingly you can replace Cosmos with DNA (curiously DNA is similar and largely shared between disparate life forms)
“DNA is within us. We are made of DNA. We are a way for DNA to know itself.”
That everything is connected is a universal law. Music is a language that well expresses this form of spirituality that is so hard to express in words. Written and spoken languages are mostly about our materialistic world (for practical reasons - “pass the peas please”). Music is consequently such an important and higher art.
