Mike Scott (Scottish musician)

“There’s a day to ride thumb on a thunderheadThere’s a day to make fantasy realThere’s a day to deny and a day to decryand a day for the man with the wind at his heels!”

“If high stream of dreams and truth be told and our intentions be entwined then from these high flung tower walls let healing grace and blessings fall over all this cracked and broken land from northern crag to southern down from Universal Hall to Camden town from city square to village green from parliament to housing scheme from Iona to the the Hill of Dreams I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love that it may be born again on another world.”

“I sacrifice my power on the altar of your love that it may be born again on another world. Come friend, let us climb the winding flights of stairs through the narrow door into the chamber bare a single candle burns as we seat ourselves words take form in our minds and repeat themselves : "My beloved and I are one…"”

“You are an eternal being of love you are the light of the world.”

“I feel you move me in such sweet silence always dancing, always dancing never ever getting tired”

“There's confusion in my head as I depart but a singing, ringing, soaring in my heart for beyond all time and space and doubt I know I've lived here before long ago.”

“I can feel it in my blood that I belong to this strange and stony rock I stand upon yet I cannot put a name upon it I cannot place the time nor see the land as it once was nor tell which house was mine no I cannot put a name upon it which was where and when yet here I am a perfect stranger home again.”

“I've lived here before in days of old I recognise these buildings in my soul I know each winding road and every rise is friendly and familiar to my eyes”

“Seek the light find the light feel the light be the light.”

“Ain't no words for the things I'm feeling ain't no tongue can tell no name for the song my soul's revealing and all is very well…”

“every breath is yours, beloved every breath is yours”

“I'm gonna look twice at you until I see the Christ in youwhen I'm lookin through the eyes of love..”

“This light is for the world send it out with sword of fire, with cymbal, drum and angel choir, music in the heart of it proclaiming that the lamp is lit this light is for the world.”

“This light is for the world. Send out from this wooden frame a beacon made of holy flame like a bridge across the morning sky from candle to the hills of high this light is for the world.”

“He made all Manhattan shake and every street and sidewalk quake his stratocaster caused the mighty Empire State to vibrate”

“He was young and black and beautiful big eyed, perfect skin an' he played my guitar like a lightning storm like twirlin' feathers in the wind he could make it sound like the end of the world a fire, the flick of a knife he could squeeze it slow and masterful like the hand that brought the world to life”

“I dreamed about Jimi Hendrix he came back for one day was born weepin' out of an egg the mid-wife said and straight away began to pray with lifted head”

“Some say the Gods are just a mythbut guess Who I've been dancing with...The Great God Pan is alive!”

“At sea on a ship in a thunderstormon the very night the Christ was borna sailor heard from overheada mighty voice cry "Pan is Dead!"So follow Christ as best you canPan is dead — Long live Pan!”

“He's like a man you'd meet any placeuntil you recognize that ancient FaceThe Great God Pan is alive!”
