The Waterboys - In A Special Place
Review by 釋 慈海
The Waterboys' album In A Special Place is a masterpiece of musical storytelling, showcasing the band's signature blend of folk, rock, and Celtic influences. From the opening track "A Girl Called Johnny" to the hauntingly beautiful "The Pan Within," the album takes listeners on a journey through the landscapes of Ireland and Scotland, evoking a sense of wonder and mystery.
Mike Scott's songwriting is at its best on this album, weaving together intricate melodies and poetic lyrics that explore themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning. The band's musicianship is equally impressive, with Steve Wickham's fiddle and Anthony Thistlethwaite's saxophone adding layers of depth and emotion to the songs.
Standout tracks include the uplifting anthem "The Whole of the Moon," which has become a classic of the Waterboys' repertoire, and the hauntingly beautiful "Trumpets," which features ethereal vocals and a mesmerizing instrumental arrangement.

Paul's final Advice
11) NOTICE WHAT LARGE LETTERS I USE AS I WRITE THESE CLOSING WORDS WRITTEN IN MY OWN HANDWRITING.
12) Those who are trying to force you to the circumcised work to look good to others. They don't want to be persecuted for teaching that the Cross of Christ alone Can Save.
13) And even those who advocate circumcisian dont keep the whole law themselves. They only want you to be circumcised so they can boast about it and claim you as their disciples.
14) As for me, may i never boast about anything except the Cross * my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world's interest in me has also died.
15) It doesn't matter whether we have been circumcised or not. What counts is Whether we have been transformed into a new creation.
16) May God's peace and mercy be upon all who live by this Principle : they are the new people of God*
17)From now on, don't let anyone trouble me with these things. For I bear on my body the scars that show I Belong To God
18) Dear brother's and sisters
* May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your Spirit* Amen.
