Well, what was a whisper back then has become pretty much a steady voice in my life by now, accompanying me & guiding me through the ups and downs of this roller roaster ride. I can only encourage anyone to heed the advice of this song. It’s worth more than cold cash…

One of my favorite songs, about the "fallen" woman who came to wash Jesus' feet with her tears. Some say it was Mary Magdalene, others say, not so. In any case, writing this song was a real experience, almost as if she described the scene to me herself...
Between December '95 and March '96
All except for the chorus of the song were parts of a message someone had received from the Lord for a boy who had been driving a car that was involved in a fatal accident while he was still in a coma, but which also appealed a lot to me. It was an unconditional and endless love that I wanted to pass on to others, if they would just give Him the chance...

Whenever I played that song live I introduced it as a song about a rampant social disease that's especially wide-spread in the part of the world we're living in. You just don't get rich and famous with that sort of stuff...

I was playing in lots of Irish Pubs during this time.
The fiddle on this one was played by Maire Egan, the girl-friend of one of the Pub owners in Constance at that time...

In the 80s movie "Made In Heaven" at one point, this guy who plays an angel angel tells his charge on earth that he's not making any progress, just sort of drifting along... I knew that applied to me for the previous couple of years in my life, & this is one of my "prodigal returning home"announcements.
Between Dec.3, '94 and March 1, '95
On December 3rd, 1994, our daughter Julie-Ann was born.
I actually wrote the first half of this song in the hospital while we were waiting for her arrival.
After 3 boys in a row, she was a nice surprise.

Funny we know so little about Judas when there seem to be so many people like him.
I guess we've all felt betrayed at one time or another, and may, at the same time, also have sometimes let others down, too.
History repeats itself.
