| Sting – Lithium Sunset Lyrics | 1 year ago |

“The idea for this song came to me when I was in Brazil, I have a great fondness for Brazil, and I met what I can best describe as a shaman (who happens to have a degree in Chemistry). He was explaining something to me, he was saying that sunlight is composed of a lot of elements and one of them is Lithium and, as you know, Lithium is a medication given to the depressed, it’s a very successful drug. But it actually exists in sunlight and at sunrise and sunset you can look into the sun without damage and the eye does not filter yellow light so the Lithium goes straight to the brain. Which is why people get a great deal of comfort and solace from looking at the sunset or the sunrise. So I wrote a song called “Lithium Sunset” which is an ode to this natural medication that is available to all.” Sting (422) |
