    It seems Christopher Cross, known for his smooth sounds and sailing vibes, may have a past shrouded in… psychedelic mystery. This "Ride Like The Wind," a song that whispers of sun-drenched escapes and urgent journeys, isn't quite the breezy yacht rock anthem we thought. Instead, it's allegedly the confession of a multiple murderer, a desperate fugitive fleeing the hangman's noose for the promise of sanctuary south of the border.

    But here's where the plot thickens. This isn't some dark, brooding confessional birthed from inner torment. No, this lyrical tale of desperation was apparently conceived during a colorful trip fueled by LSD.

    Our artist, on a dreamlike drive through the Texas landscape, sought inspiration in a... different state of mind. The image is almost comical: a musician, perhaps humming a gentle tune, suddenly hit by the vision of a hardened criminal tearing across the desert, all thanks to the mind-altering effects of a chemical compound.

    Now, one must ask: Does the song *really* sound like the confession of a killer? Does the breezy instrumentation and Cross's gentle vocals truly convey the desperation of a man facing imminent death? Or is it just a cleverly disguised, well-intentioned attempt at a profound statement? It's certainly a head scratcher to imagine how this was conceived whilst high.

    "Ride Like The Wind" has been reassessed. It is not only a feel-good song. We can appreciate the music for its story telling, but also that it came to exist from a very unique space and state of mind. I'm sure listeners will never listen to the song the same way again.

    It’s always fascinating to delve into the spiritual lives of artists, particularly someone as iconic and, in many ways, as tragic as Whitney Houston. To hear her describe her relationship with God as a central pillar of her existence, especially given the tumultuous journey she faced, really underscores the power that faith can hold.

    She used a very specific image, didn't she? A grain of sand. It’s a powerful analogy, really. Thinking about that immense coastline, the vastness of the desert, and then imagining oneself as a single, tiny grain. It speaks volumes about humility, about recognizing one’s place within something much larger than oneself. It’s a recognition of divine power, a sense of surrendering to a higher purpose.

    Now, some might see that statement through the lens of her struggles. Was this faith a source of strength during times of hardship? A comfort in moments of vulnerability? Or, perhaps, was it a way of coping with the immense pressure and expectation that fame placed upon her? We can’t know for sure, but it’s almost certainly a combination of all those things.

    It’s interesting, too, to consider how that belief shaped her artistry. Did her faith influence the passion and conviction that radiated from her performances? Did it inform the choices she made, the songs she chose to sing? You can certainly hear that gospel influence in so much of her work. It's undeniable.

    Ultimately, Whitney Houston's statement offers a glimpse into the private world of a woman who captivated millions. It reminds us that even the brightest stars, those who seem larger than life, often find solace and strength in something deeply personal and profound. And whether one shares her specific faith or not, there's something universally relatable about seeking connection and purpose in something bigger than ourselves. What do you think?

    I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast.

    Intro: Gail Nobles
    Story by: Gail Nobles

    The tune, "A Little More Love," it hit the charts like a meteor shower in '79. It Peaked at number three. But listen to these lyrics.

    Olivia Newtown John is singing bout the night draggin' on, waitin' in the heat. Sounds like a lonely scene. But then she drops the bomb! "I know, know that you'll have your way 'Til you have to go home." Sounds like this cat she's with, he's got somethin' she wants, somethin' she can't say no to, ya know?

    Then she spills the beans: "No is a word I can't say. 'Cause it gets me nowhere to tell you no, And it gets me nowhere to make you go." Olivia is trapped. She knows this relationship ain't goin' nowhere good, but she's stuck in the gravitational pull of this dude.

    But here's where it gets real, real deep. The chorus, man, those questions:
    "Will a little more love make you stop depending? Will a little more love bring a happy ending? Will a little more love make it right? Will a little more love make it right?"

    She's askin' herself, and maybe askin' him, can love really fix this mess? Can she change him? Can she give enough of herself to make him a better man?

    It's a universal cry. We all wanna believe love can conquer all, but sometimes, it ain't enough. Sometimes, a little more love ain't gonna change a thing.

    Olivia Newton-John was servin' up some serious truth about relationships, about being stuck, about hopin' for a change. So next time you hear "A Little More Love," remember there's more to it than just a catchy tune. It's a question mark hangin' over all our hearts.
