Since 2001 he has released 4 new albums + 3 live albums that are exclusively available on his official website.
He presents his music as POST MILLENNIUM ROCK, its main elements are heart and soul, its nature is passion, courage and curiosity and it acknowledges no rules but the goal to lead the listener back to his heart, to provoke his mind and re-approach him to his true feelings.
He says that he had his light switched on at the age of 2 by the music of the Beatles and has been a fool for music ever since. "I have suffered music and she has suffered me and there is no doubt that she has seen my willingness to bear her love even in the darkest hours and because of that we have earned one another's trust and our bond is close and deep. I would die for the music and in fact already have".
He is currently on tour in Europe with his band The Nudge Nudge for the 'POST MILLENNIUM ROCK TOUR 2010'.

Wishing Well
Sananda Maitreya Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cupid, by the hour, sends Valentines to my sweet lover and me
Slowly, but surely your appetite is more than I knew
Sweetly, softly, I'm falling in love with you
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
Make it funky now, boys
Hugging like a monkey see, monkey do, right beside a riverboat gambler
Erotic images float through my head, say I wanna be your midnight rambler
Quickly, but quickly the blood races through me veins
Quickly, loudly I wanna hear those sugar bells ring
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile tears, get up now
On the beat now, uh
Come on now
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of butterfly tears, come on
Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell
A wishing well of crocodile tears, uh
(Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell)
Hey-hey
I feel like going on, I feel like going on
(Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell)
Come on, come on
Erotic images float through my head
Your midnight rider, my baby
(Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell)
Dig it
For you, anywhere
Don't know, I don't care
(Wish me, love, a wishing well, to kiss and tell)
But all I know is
The lyrics to Sananda Maitreya's song "Wishing Well" depict a passionate and intense love affair. The first verse sets the romantic scene, with the singer and their lover stealing moments together under a sycamore tree. Cupid's presence is felt, as love notes and messages are exchanged between the two, deepening their connection. The second verse describes their physical closeness, comparing their embrace to that of monkeys and invoking the allure of a riverboat gambler. The imagery of erotic thoughts flooding the singer's mind further accentuates the intensity of their desire.
The chorus of the song expresses a yearning for a wishing well, symbolic of a place where secret wishes and desires can be shared and fulfilled. The distinction is made between "butterfly tears" and "crocodile tears," suggesting a longing for genuine and authentic emotions rather than superficial displays of sentiment. The lyrics express a desire for a love that goes beyond surface-level expressions and taps into a deeper emotional connection.
The repeated refrain of the second half of the song emphasizes the persistent longing for the fulfillment of these desires and the willingness to persevere in the pursuit of love. The mention of "erotic images" and being a "midnight rider" further reinforces the passion and intensity of the singer's feelings.
Overall, "Wishing Well" speaks to the exhilarating and sometimes tumultuous nature of a passionate love affair, highlighting the desire for genuine emotional connection and intimacy.
