CdeB Interview from NEUE WELT
 


Chris de Burgh interview taken from the German magazine NEUE WELT: 


Everybody is talking about the love affair with former nanny
Maresa (20), but no one is talking about his music! Chris de
Burgh (44) is tired of being designated as a casanova.
"Maresa and me, we're just good friends. Ok, there used to be
something special between us, but that's over. I don't want
to gamble with my marriage and my family", he declared to
the german magazine NEUE WELT (= New World). 


CHRIS: My private life is a private mattter!! And please, please
       don't believe in all of these stories published in
       the papers. There're so many lies floating around. 


NEUE WELT: The songs on Your new album called "Beautiful dreams" 
           are accompanied by orchestra. 


CHRIS: Yes, it was very emotional. It's great to work with pro-
       fessional musicians, giving away my very heart. The
       musicians are well disciplined and precise, knowing to
       read music - I don't. 


NEUE WELT: Well, how do you write your songs? 


CHRIS: Using a tape recorder. The melody is in my mind. I can hear
       it in my imagination. 


NEUE WELT: You have also recorded "The Lady In Red", a song dedicated
           to your wife. Seems to be a proof of your love after all
           these recent annoyances? 


CHRIS: No! By the way, I've never confirmed this song to be writen
       for Diane, but it's a nice story anyway. The song describes
       just a normal relationship. After some time, you begin to
       lose care for each other, lives drivting apart. That's the
       way it is, but doesn't reflect my personal life or my marriage
       at all. 


NEUE WELT: How do you spend your spare time? 


CHRIS:  I enjoy family life, taking my children to school, playing games
        with them. I often tell them stories I invented - about 
        smugglers and pirates. And all three of them are bent on these
        stories, especially the boys. Besides I like to take a walk
        or to go to swim. Twice a week I play golf with some friends.
        You see, I'm leading just a normal life.
