Happy Birthday! I received LIVE IN PARIS as a special gift last week and I have listened to it everyday and watch the dvd before bed. I just want to thank you again and again for opening yourself to be such a conduit of light in the world. Your loving energy continues to be a sustaining force for so many. I know that you realize the mystical nature of the love that we are all a part of and your music reflects that. My two friends who I sing with and I were driving home-1000 miles from Michigan to North Carolina on Monday morning the 19th and we were blasting that Live Album-from beginning to end...there is no end, is there? Keep on being the beautiful loving man that you are for your family at home and all of us who love you worldwide and again Happy Birthday. Tangela Hi Seal,

I had been away for a days, but when I came back, I read Vera's post here in your blog... So, as a brazilian fan too, I'm very disappointed with this fact.I think Vera was too incisive... and I realized you got a little sad about that... But, after read the posts (hers and yours) I couldn't let it pass away. As a brazilian citizen, I have to tell you that here in Brazil you are not well plubicized (otherwise NOT plubicized), even when you release a great new album! But I don't know the reasons... I suppose that it was the Vera's protest reason: she was trying to tell you this... I think there's no relation with your new-6-or-12-tracks album. I want you to know that brazilian fans are waiting for you here (did you realized that we are frequently posting here now? I'm divulgating your career for everyone I know through Orkut...) and your new work will be well received, whatever its format... Thanks []s Chico Hi Seal…

Hope you had a Great Valentine's Day...I stepped away from the computer a couple of days and apparently missed a lot! We can't wait to hear your tour dates...we are praying that you are somewhere in the South!And if you could get Sade with you...WOW!!! I read your questions regarding the 6/12 tracks...totally understand what your asking. I think that sometimes new concepts in these changing times can sometimes be difficult to embrace at first. If it meant more music, more often, then I am all for it!!!! There are truly few artists that I listen to in which I am in love with every single track on their album/cd. I am speaking of those artists that you know every lyric and listen to their cd without skipping over certain songs. I can honestly say that you ARE one of those for me...we never skip over songs but we do have some that are our favorites! I sure you, as the artist, also have certain tracks that you feel are perfect and others that you feel are very good...but not quite as good as that first one...I'm also sure that you are much harder on yourself than we ever would be! Bottom Line...we want you any way we can get you BUT, more often would be even better!!!! PLEASE include the Touch remix on this album...I love this and am sad that it is no longer on your site! I could really work up a sweat cleaning the kitchen to this one!!!!! Thanks for the updates and I still want you to answer my pet question. I'll just keep asking! Much Love, LucyMucy Greetings Seal!

You've had a good point not to add lyrics to you albums, because everyone understands the songs in their individual way. I've personally have found this to be true, often I think that the song tells about something totally different thing than it actually does after reading the lyrics. Then the next surprise is often the video: it might be SO different from your personal feelings, that you don't even like it. Have you considered about asking us fans our feelings and thoughts about the song before making a video? It might be really interesting to see how different thoughts would arise from different people! Just a thought... :) Yours, Timo About the coming music videos: I have an idea…

Again kudos for being this close to the fans -- we can be scary sometimes :) I'm really really psyched about the acapella stuff. I'd encourage you to take a look at http://creativecommons.org . David Byrne and other artists have posted samples there for people to legally use. I make remixes for fun, and I made a Human Beings/Reprise mix back when that album first came out. I'm thinking of redoing it using the surround elements from the "best of" DVD. Again, thanks! Seal! Again kudos for being this close to the fans — we can be scary sometimes :)
