    Dear Ron dear Russell You give people who don't have a strong sense of self worth and who tick in a certain way differently from normal people a home with your wonderful music, your unmistakable humane lyrics and last but not least with your unique loving and sincere character. I love you very much for that. It is like a dream protection world in which one can retreat at any time when things are not going so well in order to regain new positive strength this is an extraordinary treasure that is worth keeping in your heart. I thank you so much for this unique gift to all fans in sparksland! ! Take care lovely Greetings

    Loving these lyrically speaking videos! If Ron (or even Russell) ever did an audiobook I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I wouldn't care if it's Fifty shades of grey

    Thank you for these, Mr. Mael ♥️
    Us fans need to make a definitive list of the books in the background. Hard to see, but this one seems to be on Murnau.

    This is the 51st Lyrically Speaking video, the first was posted April 5 a year ago.
    That calls for an anniversary celebration next Sunday, or...? 💝🎉
    EDIT: ❗This is the 52nd video ❗

      Yes! With both the lovely bros! Good idea and thanks for the interesting information.
      I haven't been keeping track like that...
      I hope you are well 😊💖⚡

      @@camelsheit_on_the_walls446I occasionally go through Sparks channel to open a specific video, and noticed the numbers on the list.
      I'm fine, thank you! I hope you are too😍
      Just had the new dates for the tour, in April and May 2022, so perhaps you have a chance to prepare for Oslo the April 27! Or Stockholm the 29th and Copenhagen the 30th, to which I have tickets 😁😁🎆😍💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

      THIS is the 52nd video!! 😮
      Ron, you will continue this I (we) hope?!
      Can we have a celebration at the Sunday closest to one year? (Next Sunday is the 4th)
      'Camelshit' has a very good idea, I think😍😍😍🤞☺️

    I love this song, I have always felt it could ascribe to some people I have met during my life😍😅💖💖💖.
    I don't know if it's because of weariness in general or if I have just become dumb, but I'm starting to feel like that person myself!? 😕🥴I don't like to blame age yet...
    Pretty ironically. 🙄

    Why is it that listening to this song always brings a tear to my eye? I'm a grown (even old) man that should enjoy such songs without emotion, but there's something hauntingly brilliant about the simplicity of the lyrics that captures maybe a forgotten essence of life. And a reminder too that no one is perfect and that we should not try to make them that way. Just enjoy their liking for brownness and live in the hope of an unexpected somersault......
