Whatever made Manny the Mann think we needed to hear his coarse and cringe worthy attempt at opera in the prelude to this studio gem?

Reminds me of my summer working in Peavey Electronics Guitar Plant. Making the T-60 and T-40 guitars.

quando vejo os paises na camera men toca sempre essa musica ontem era 2 35 da madrugada tocou ela

A song full of garbled words, but the point of loving and needing his woman for a complete life and happiness is crystal clear. Beautiful song.

Nice song

Going back to Tulsa one more time

C’était au sunset ??? Parce que Mahnt a été joué une seul fois et j’y était !

j'adore l'album et en particulier ce morceau! :)

If you're wondering, this is the Winwood album in the 1001 before you kick it. Been listening to the same vinyl for over 40yrs now.

This intro is definitely a masterpiece

LA TIERRA SE ALEJA Y SE ALEJA Y SOLO QUEDA LA INMENSIDAD DEL ESPACIO.

“Arc of a Diver” - Song Overview Released in 1980 as the title track of Steve Winwood’s second solo album, “Arc of a Diver” is a song filled with rich, poetic imagery and introspective themes. Written by Winwood and Will Jennings, the song stands out for its fusion of rock, jazz, and soul elements, featuring Winwood’s distinctive keyboard work and vocals. It was a defining piece of music during the early 1980s and showcased Winwood’s talent for crafting songs that felt both deeply personal and universally relatable. Detailed Exploration of the Song’s Themes 1. The Title and Metaphor: “Arc of a Diver” The title “Arc of a Diver” itself is a metaphor that holds significant meaning. An “arc” refers to a curved path, like the motion of a diver jumping into water and following a trajectory before plunging in. This movement is both graceful and purposeful, symbolizing a journey or a passage from one state to another. In the context of the song, the “arc of a diver” represents a metaphorical dive into one’s inner world, emotions, or experiences. It’s about taking a leap-sometimes into the unknown-exploring the depths of oneself, and emerging transformed. This diving arc can symbolize a personal journey of growth, change, or self-discovery. 2. Journey of Self-Exploration The song is about an inward journey-a dive into the depths of the self. It suggests going beneath the surface to understand one’s own emotions, thoughts, and desires. Diving, in this sense, becomes a metaphor for introspection, where one confronts their innermost feelings and reflects on life’s complexities. The lyrics evoke a sense of going through a process of discovery. The diver takes a deliberate plunge, not just for the sake of the dive, but with the purpose of uncovering something hidden or unknown. This journey often involves risks, as diving deeply can bring up submerged feelings or fears, yet it is also a journey toward clarity and enlightenment. 3. Themes of Freedom and Release The song also embodies a sense of freedom. As the diver arcs through the air, there is a feeling of weightlessness, of liberation from constraints. This can be interpreted as breaking free from limitations, societal expectations, or even one’s own inhibitions. There is an element of surrender in the act of diving. The diver must let go and trust in the water below, representing a willingness to accept uncertainty, embrace change, and be open to whatever comes. This could reflect a personal decision to live more authentically or to take a bold step into a new phase of life. 4. Interconnectedness and Cycles The idea of an “arc” also suggests a cycle-there is a beginning, a peak, and then a return. This reflects the natural rhythm of life, where experiences ebb and flow, and every high is followed by a descent. The song acknowledges that life is a series of such arcs, each offering its own lessons and insights. The repeated phrases and rhythmic patterns in the music mirror this cyclical nature, creating a feeling of movement and flow. This suggests that each journey, each arc, is part of a larger, interconnected whole, reflecting the continuous cycles of life and growth. 5. Embracing Uncertainty and the Unknown “Arc of a Diver” captures the feeling of embracing the unknown. The diver is in mid-air, on a path they cannot entirely control, moving toward an unseen destination. This symbolizes the uncertainties in life-those moments when we must let go of our need for control and trust the process, trusting that we will land where we are meant to. Winwood’s vocals, combined with the song’s flowing, layered instrumentation, create a mood that is both meditative and expansive, inviting listeners to feel the weight and lightness of such a journey. The music suggests an openness to experience, to diving deep even when the outcome is uncertain. Heartfelt Meaning Personal and Spiritual Transformation: At its heart, “Arc of a Diver” is about the courage to explore one’s depths and confront whatever lies within. It’s about the willingness to dive into the unexplored parts of oneself-facing fears, embracing desires, or challenging beliefs. Through this journey, one emerges changed, with a new perspective or deeper self-awareness. Freedom and Authenticity: The song also embodies the theme of personal freedom. It suggests that to truly be free, one must take risks, release what is holding them back, and dive into their own truths. It’s a reminder that growth often requires leaving the safety of the known and venturing into the uncertain. Connection to the Flow of Life: The “arc” reflects the ebb and flow of life, encouraging acceptance of life’s cyclical nature. It suggests that every experience, every “dive,” has its place in the grander scheme, contributing to the arc of our existence. This perspective can offer comfort, knowing that even challenging moments are part of a greater journey. Conclusion “Arc of a Diver” is a beautifully layered song that speaks to the human experience of growth, change, and self-discovery. It calls for courage, surrender, and trust in the process of life. Whether interpreted as a personal reflection, a spiritual exploration, or a celebration of freedom, the song invites listeners to embrace their own journeys with openness and authenticity. The powerful imagery of the diver, moving gracefully through the arc, serves as a timeless metaphor for the transformative potential within all of us.

Mas, ada video yg lain lagi ga ?

Steve lives near to me in Gloucestershire / i met him a few times / he signed my copy of "Arc" and he is not only a great musician and producer / but a very modest man who doesn't seek the limelight , just gets on with making great music / we are so lucky to have him reside here !
