EXRED: Brilliant song brilliant man so sad he his gone
I know Red. I saw him for the first time in the 70s at the Isle of Wight festival.I also have his live concert in London on DVD.
He was 74!! And he was 82 when he died.
Still singing with leukemia till then.
As for his long life friend Marianne..she also died of leukemia a year before.

I'd also like to quote this as I see it as appropriate.
"You don't love someone for their looks..clothes..status etc....
But because they sing a song only YOU can hear!"

Theres a fault or crack in everything and it lets in the light. Makes me think of kintsugi , japanese mending some broken objects with gold because they are precious traces of memory and time.
Or the liberty bell as well for that matter.

Actually, it reminds me of the Wabi Sabi - a traditional japanese aesthetics centered on the acceptance of imperfection.Or the liberty bell as well for that matter.
What does it mean to you?
Is this the same as what you mentioned here?
I posted a thread/blog about it once.

I know.."una pequeña vals" I see you know your poetry?
Leonard was very inspired by this poet.
But ...although keeping the message of the lyrics he changed the words.
Thanks for posting. I appreciate

This beautiful song was written in 1992 by a dear poet song-writer/singer and a dear “spiritual friend of mine” who unfortunately passed away 3 years ago.
However, his songs will continue living in us and “Ring the Bells” has been sung all over the world ever since. RIP dear Leonard.
The idea of this song was about “imperfection” and how perfection is never found in our life, work, marriage, our country etc.
As he said, “there is a crack in everything”..... meaning nothing and nobody is flawless but, “that´s where the light gets in”.....meaning that weakness can become strength and fault becomes virtue.
And, why go searching for light when the light already shines from us?
He also explained that it´s about finding the silver lining in every situation – good and bad - but mostly from the bad.
The overall message is about mankind not being perfect, but still being able to take on the challenge of life.
This is a message of HOPE and to see the goodness in ALL.
Could somebody please post the video?
This is a beautiful song to listen to - especially the lyrics.
