From out of the darkness, before there was time
There came a sound that enters the mind
Through a door that's deep in your soul
Through every pore of your body it goes
And in a light too bright to behold
Is a truth more shiny than gold
And as sure as this candle burns
Every soul must return

Into the light, into the light

From out of the light there comes a story...
Open your mind, and feel the glory
What's the hurry to die without trying?
If you could sell your worries (sell your worries)
Would anyone buy 'em? (oh no)
And for every flower that grows, even a baby knows
That as sure as the candle burns
Every soul must return

Into the light, into the light

I will walk this road
I will, I will
It's gonna be hard but I know
I will, I will
People come and they go
But I'll still, I'll still
Face up 2 the truth and just grow
I will, I will

I will fight this fight
I will, I will
I will sleep 2 night
I will, I will
I've been down before (Oh, I've been down before)
But I'll still, I'll still
Remember what I came 4
I will, I will

I will get 2 U
I will, I will
And then I'll help U get through
I will, I will
U've preyed on many a fool
Until, until
No one cared about U
But I will, I ... (I will)
I will

Beautiful.

Two of his best tracks ever.

And Rosie's vocals are so beautiful. She's an angel on that song.

Sorry to say,

I do not hate I Will, but compositionwise its a bit repetitive.

On the other hand: the jazzy, instrumental parts during the second half of the song, remind me of vintage Van Morrison, in his period with the Caledonia orchestra.

But.

I really, really dig Into the light. I think its one of his best ballads from the nineties.
With a more 'plastic' production, the song would have had the danger to move into 'Arms of Orion'-territory, but the playing by the NPG on this track is so splendid, that the melody becomes moving.
I especially love the piano-work (by Prince?) and Rosies backgrounds vocals are spine-chilling.
My only complaint: its way too damn short.

I like this one too

Great tracks. Some of my favorite tracks from Chaos & Disorder.
