The Great Escape - Ilse de Lange



Introduction


The album The Great Escape of Ilse de Lange contains love songs. This album most clearly shows messages from God, which is confirmed by unlikely coincidences surrounding the album and the singer.

The track "The Lonely One" may refer to God feeling lonely and using Her powers to make the life of Her husband unpleasant. "The Great Escape" refers to God contacting him using supernatural powers. The song "Carry hope" can be seen as a message from God to Her husband instructing him to accept his new role.

The track "Was it Love" suggests that God created this world for the pursuit of love. The song "Miss Politician" may refer to God starting to interfere more directly with the politics on Earth. Until now the hand of God was not clearly visible. "Reach For The Light" may refer to reincarnation. God is the only one that remembers the past. Her husband is only human and he does not remember anything.

Only a few songs such as "Waterfall" and "The Valley" seem to hold no messages.

Unlikely coincidences


Ilse de Lange was born on May 13, 1977 in Almelo, a town in the region Twente in The Netherlands, which is also the home town of Herman Finkers, a comedian who wrote Kroamschudd'n in Mariaparochie (see also: Wikipedia - Kroamschudd'n in Mariaparochie). Kroamschudd'n in Mariaparochie is a short animation picture on the subject of Christ being born in Twente.

Furthermore, May 13 is also the date of the largest accident that ever happened in Twente. On May 13, 2000 a fireworks plant in Enschede exploded, killing 23 people. May 13, 2000 was also the 23th birthday of Ilse De Lange. Initially the number of killed was estimated to be 22, which is 11+11.

The Great Escape is also the fourth album by English alternative rock band Blur, released on September 11, 1995. September 11 was also the date of the terrorist attacks on the United States. The total length of this album is 56 minutes and 56 seconds (see also: Wikipedia - The Great Escape). September 11 can be rewritten as 911, which is the US emergency services telephone number. 56:56 is an 11:11 combination because 5+6=11. Also 56+56=112, while 112 is the European emergency services telephone number.
