Music reviews of Story Man

Music Review: Chris de Burgh - The Storyman
Rating: 5 Stars

A new DeBurghy experience? Well, it surely is...and what an exceptional experience!
Now that I've listened to the album several times, day after day I believe more than ever in the Genius and Most Creative and Inventive artist, composer, writer and performer of all times.
When I read that "Genius is made, not born" in "How to think like Leonardo da Vinci" by "Michael J. Gelb", "The Storyman" came to confirm that point to me....so crystal clear!
All throughout his career, a long journey of continuous creativity, Chris de Burgh always had something new to offer, so many surprises to his fans and lovers, for the critics and lovers of music and art.

As an artist and designer myself, I was really thrilled by the design of the whole CD package. So refined and simple yet with great artistic quality, the designs are straightforward to convey the theme, so unique indeed! When the songs send us to a journey in time and space, the cover design, the booklets (stories and lyrics) and the CD cover itself (along with the back cover) make us wander into the transcendental blue sky, the infinite universe and, of course, the earth right in the centre (our "One World"). The symbolism of Chris's three photos with the earthy balls is so very well conceived and represented. I love the colour transition in the blue. Therefore, we are moving visually in this world of times and spaces as much as we are moving with songs!

Talking about the songs, what a thrilling experience it is to listen to each song while reading the stories behind each song first, then taking a second round to carefully read the poetic lyrics, paying attention to every word while having the stories stored in our memory. Every song is a story, a fable carrying direct and subliminal messages for a better world, a hopefully "One World"!

For the first time I cannot tell which song is a favourite since the whole album in a great unity by itself with all its diversity in terms of space, time, stories, locations, songs etc....and here also lies the genius of tying different stories from different backgrounds to form a unique harmony.

The last song in terms of track listing - "The Storyman" - is definitely the synthesis, the answer, and the song that binds all other songs together, forming this great unity; who else than this great "storyman" can be beside Chris de Burgh and take him from one place to another in time and space? Obviously, this storyman is the genius and is Chris de Burgh himself addressing his fans in a magical character.

For a moment, I think that this integral album is a musical, and when I go back in time in the "Man on the Line" section of the site, I recall Chris de Burgh answering that he is thinking of making a musical, and if I am not mistaken, he is preparing for one.
The beginnings started in "The Road to Freedom" and grew so elaborate and mature in this latest new opus by Chris de Burgh; "The Storyman".
