My latest song …
Ocean
I remember you told me
You were born on a ship at sea
All the oceans we’ve explored
Since the day I climbed on board
When the night was on its way
Clouds were dark above the bay
The moon was rolling down the hill
I loved you then, I love you still
I don’t mind if storms will rage
When I know they soon will pass
We will turn another page
We will raise another glass
Underneath the sky of stars
Or in crowded, noisy bars
All along the snow and ice
On our way to paradise
I don’t care if the sun goes in
When I know it soon will shine
I don’t mind when showers begin
I will keep your heart with mine
Our two voices make a song
Our two rights won’t make a wrong
When we’re weary of the shore
We will go to sea once more
As with the other recent song, the words here are just beautiful. Simple and beautiful. They are so poetic and their is a voice singing here, that of yourself and your son. I’m playing at a new prison this morning but when I am home I will listen to the song! (And of course I have yet to feedback on the other one!)
Thanks, papaguinea. 🙂 I’d certainly be interested in the feedback.
I think the previous song (‘Flow’), as I recorded it, is somewhat slow and hesitant, but I’m quite pleased with both of these: they are more generic songs than the ones I was writing a few years ago, and could be sung by anyone.
Brendano I like that a lot and especially the accompaniment when you kind of picking on top notes on guitar. It comes over very well, nothing fancy but perfectly weighted. I can see it sung on a stage. (To an audience!)
Thanks a lot, pg: I’m glad you like it. 🙂 I think it’s a nice simple little song, and would sound good if performed by the right person. It had its public debut in a pub on Saturday night.
