Words of a .... genius ....?

John Wright does many good things. E.g. he sings wonderfully - and he picks wonderfull songs to sing. He often, with regret, reminds his public, that he is not a songwriter himself. So instead he draws our attention to a number of great songwriters. And lately he has opened my ears to Beth Nielsen Chapman. John has recorded at least two of her songs, i.e. on the CD's with JW I have.

An example of her brilliant poetry are these lines from her song "All for the Love" (which is the last track on the JW's CD "Songdance".

"For this we shed our skin
Feel where each breath begins
Bleed as we pick the rose
Fall back with both eyes closed"

I think, I have to discover more of Beth Nielsen Chapman's songs!
