A. No! *
Neue Welt: You have also recorded 'The Lady In Red', a song dedicated to your wife?
Chris de Burgh: "By the way, I've never confirmed this song to be written for Diane, ... The song describes just a normal relationship. After some time, you begin to lose care for each other, lives driving apart. That's the way it is, but doesn't reflect my personal life or my marriage at all."

Q. Does that strange language in the ‘Carry On’ song have meaning? |
| |
|
A. Yes! The strange language in the ‘Carry On’ is English but backwards! It is:
Set a course for the stars,
Destination unknown,
The universe is calling the world,
Towards her last and final resting place,
But when you write it from right to left then it turns into:
Sratseht rofesruo cates,
Nwonknu no it anitsed,
Dlroweht gnillacsi esrevinu eht,
Ecalp gnitser lanif dnatsal rehs-drawot,
And if you read it, It looks like what you can hear on "Carry On" song! |
