    Gifts from the gods, always coming with their risks.
    Marc is celebrating being gifted, but at the same time expressing its dark-side The loneliness and fear, of being unique.
    'Is it strange' he keeps asking\/ as if he's trying to make sense of his strange existence.
    And that's what makes this a wonderful song, the questioning, the doubt, questioning creativity itself, a gift or a curse.
    Marc doesn't resolve that question, leaves it open - profound for a rock n roll song, bordering on poetry

    He was just so sweet & had a softness about him that could ignite fire when he plays. I think Marc Bolan and Donovan had similar vocals.
