“Music is going to break the way because music is in a spiritual thing of its own. It’s like the waves of the ocean. You can’t just cut out the perfect wave and take it home with you.”
JIMI HENDRIX
Come sail your ships around me and burn your bridges down…
~ Nick Cave, The Ship Song ~
Lost in the fog in the haar on the harbour
Caught by the tide in a boat with no anchor
I’m sailing away to an island that can’t be found
~ Will Cookson, I’ m all at sea ~
Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore
~ Enya, Orinoco Flow ~
Stumbling along the coast
Dreaming that I was free
There was the stranger
Who had just flown from across the sea
~ The Man From Managra, The Sailor ~
Once you were tethered
Well now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea!
~ The Waterboys, This Is The Sea ~
I wish I was a fisherman
Tumblin’ on the seas
Far away from dry land
And it’s bitter memories
~ The Waterboys, Fisherman’s Blues ~
So I’m sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dying
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
I have my ship and all her flags are a flying
She is all that I have left and music is her name
~ Crosby, Stills & Nash, Southern Cross ~
We sail upon the ocean
On the decks of the Mabel Grey
And we search every port for a woman
For the woman who bears our ship’s name
~ Brown Bird, Mabel Grey ~
Well, it’s not far down to paradise, at least it’s not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away and find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles, just you wait and see.
~ Christopher Cross, Sailing ~
Hark now, hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly
Into the mystic
~ Van Morrison, Into The Mystic ~
