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
Map the soul musician’s birthplace
Map the photograph location
