Quotes
There's nothing better than going out there and performing and making that connection with audiences. Even after all this time I get the biggest buzz from that.
Seal (musician), CC BY-SA 4.0
I've heard everything — that they were the result of ancient ritual induction into childhood that involved wrestling a wild boar, that I was viciously attacked by a gang. Someone even wrote that I was abducted by aliens who left me with a mark. You know, I really don't care. People can believe whatever they want to believe.
Seal (musician), CC BY-SA 4.0
There were signs in England that the only way for me was down. The media turned against me. I was given a hard time because my outlook wasn't one of pure debauchery. I was a sensitive male and I was singing about spirituality; I didn't choose the loutish Oasis approach to my profession. Britpop was just building up at the time and my attitude somehow counted against me.
Seal (musician), CC BY-SA 4.0
Family, my wife and children, that's my reason for being. Everything is done with them in mind, so perhaps that's the reason this new album is up-tempo. It does feel like a celebration of life. I am finally in a content and happy place to the point where I feel like I need to sing about it. It's made me want to address things that are close to home.
Seal (musician), CC BY-SA 4.0
Myself and the people close to me are all part of a social system, and we were being conditioned to accept the status quo. But on this album, I'm saying it's time for us to take charge. We can change it. We can take control of our emotional system and be happy. My point is don't just sit there and allow life to happen to you. Go out and take charge if you want change, but it begins closer to home.

<p>A man decides after seventy years, <br> That what he goes there for, is to unlock the door. <br> While those around him criticize and sleep... <br> And through a fractal on a breaking wall, <br> I see you my friend, and touch your face again. <br> Miracles will happen as we trip.</p><p>But we're never gonna survive, unless... <br> We get a little crazy</p>
