We have been Chris de Burgh fans for a long time and we are members of the official mailing-list. Some of us have met for the first time at a concert, two as winners of a competition and some haven´t met before the recording of this song. Mixed together with different voices and singing abilities, we had great fun and good laughs in the studio.
Ina: 35, married, 2 sons (4/9). Chris´ music gives me strength and energy in everyday life and I´m happy having found new friends because of his music.
Doris: 37, married, 3 children (girls 13/11, boy 5). I´ve been a fan of Chris for over 20 years.
Nicole: 34, married, I´m one of the LIR-competition winners 2004 in Mettlach, Germany. I´ve been a fan since my first concert in Dortmund, 18 years ago.
Jutta: 39, married, 3 children (son 20, girls 15/6). For more than 20 years I´ve needed nothing else than Chris´ music to cope with a hard day.
Manuela: 31, married, 4 children (5,7,9,11). Thank you Chris for so many great songs and unforgetable moments at your concerts!
Lore: 52, married, 2 adult children. I´m one of the LIR-competition winners, too. This is the fourth time I´ve taken part in a CdeB-tribute-CD-project. :-)
We have chosen this song, because it is such a lively and happy song, gives hope for a better world, for peace in this world, and free and united people(s) everywhere.

We´ve added our thoughts about the tribute-idea in the following lines:
“We are together here from different lands, love to sing for Chris our songs. This is a language that us all unites and makes us feel as one.
We sing together on this rainbow and if you like, just join in with your singing, let´s all unite!”

Thanks to Marietta Hülsken for writing the sheet-music for us.
Thanks to Martin Knieper, a very patient and kind man, who made the playback available for us and has recorded our song in his studio
