There's Room In This Heart Tonight

"Well, some years ago, I had this idea in my head for a kind of a charity song - which turned out primarily into 'There's Room In This Heart Tonight'. But I changed it quite a bit, subsequently. It's one of those paradoxes in the chorus; 'I can hear you crying in silence, I can see you lost in the dark'. This is really one of those songs that suggests that whatever misery, happiness and turmoil is going on in your life, there is someone out there who's caring for you whether it be a close friend or... I mean, there are people who are there to help - I'm not talking about Samaritans but the network of friends and family. And as you step back from the closer picture, you get into the broader picture, or the global picture, where I was thinking about the irony that the places that most need help in creating an environment that life can survive in are the ones that the disasters happen in, where they have the hurricanes, the monsoons, the desperate floods, the volcanic eruptions, the earthquakes and these are peopled by races that really are the ones who are most at risk. And I suppose I am thinking about them in this song as well. And then, in the middle eight section, I'm suggesting in one of my further beliefs that there is always something or somebody listening you may call it what you wish; God or whatever. For me, I do believe there is a complete infrastructure outside of us - a 'sixth dimension'. It's almost like an internet; absolutely full of information and full of advice and help - and all you have to do is really, really ask. I think if you ask, say, 'Ooh, I'd like to wake up tomorrow morning and have another 200 million in my bank account', it's not really going to work. But I do believe that if you are under such distress, then this almost turns on a light in your psyche, in your body, that attracts the attention of those who want to help. And just listen to the advice that you are given."
