"I guess because I was so young and naïve it didn't have that kind of subtext to it; that poetry," he says. "The images are so strong that they hit straight away. My other stuff isn't like that."
And writing poetry is using your talents and your knowledges to make something new and valuable in the world. And we can make the brand images and images just as we want, and there are freedom of writing, of saying and for not giving fear and bad impresssions about humanity, but humanity is filled with good and bad things, and such is life!
Ralph McTell is telling that if it had not been for the music, he would give up the world at any times. So, music is important for many people. And the music gives meaning for many persons. And Ralph is playing the guitar, he sings, and he is making music.
