The Seventh Stranger

Simon Le Bon has said the song was inspired by Chapter 26 of Voltaire’s Candide, “Wandering Swordsmen” (Rōnin), and the Seven Samurai films of Kurosawa.

…

Those words are all remainders
Echoes growing in the heart of twilight
They lay back laughing at naivety's star
Awaken all those whispers in the dusty shadow of a
passing favour
I wouldn't say that you were ruthless or right
I couldn't see from so far
Was I chasing after rainbows
One thing for sure you never answered when I called
And I wiped away the water from my face
To look through the eyes of a stranger
For rumours in the wake of such a lonely crowd
Trading in my shelter for danger
I'm changing my name just as the sun goes down
In the eyes of a stranger
The Seventh Stranger

Laugh

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?

Not because I’m carefree, but because it’s rare to hear anything good anymore. The world keeps serving the same menu: wars, death, fascism, greed. Call it neoliberalism, call it capitalism — the label doesn’t matter. The outcome is the same. So if something fantastic actually breaks through all that noise, of course I laugh. It feels like a glitch in the system.
