Love is the Seventh Wave is on the album The Dream of the Blue Turtles and is the second single and second track on the album.  The album was the first solo album for Sting.  Sting is an English singer song writer who was the former lead singer for The Police.  The album itself received Grammy nominations for Album of the Year, Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Best Jazz Instrumental Performance and Best Engineered Recording.

What we like

  • The original film clip features children’s drawings and Sting interacting within them which captures the spirit of the song

Soul experience

  • A seventh wave is common in folklore which describes that there will be a wave larger than the rest every seventh wave.  So with love being the seventh wave it will wipe out all and be the fundamental force to sweep you away.   What is also interesting is the fascination for the number seven itself.  It is associated in numerology with the seeker of truth and would lead to love being the truth.  The number 7 is also represented in a global sense with 7 days in a week, 7 colours of the rainbow, 7 seas and 7 continents

To reflect on

  • Every ripple on the ocean
    Every leaf on every tree
    Every sand dune in the desert
    Every power we never see
    There is a deeper wave then this
    Swelling in the world
