Description:
Lyrics stemmed from an Oscar Wilde poem, then I added some free flowing words on that.

The ocean is calling me.


drums are loops.

Lyrics:
Oscar Wilde (1854–1900). Poems. 1881.

Les Silhouettes


THE sea is flecked with bars of grey
The dull dead wind is out of tune,
And like a withered leaf the moon
Is blown across the stormy bay.

Etched clear upon the pallid sand
The black boat lies: a sailor boy
Clambers aboard in careless joy
With laughing face and gleaming hand.

And overhead the curlews cry,
Where through the dusky upland grass
The young brown-throated reapers pass,
Like silhouettes against the sky.

The rest is free flow....

Love it &mdash 10/15/08 - 04:07:55 PM
Love the dreamy quality it has to it.
The intro and jangley guitar work near the start reminded me of some of my favourite tunes i listen and relax to.

Very nice &mdash 10/16/08 - 09:14:17 PM
Lovely guitar, with nice changes, and a very sweet vocal, floating above the instruments almost, but still tied to the music. You perform this with great feeling and verve, and the phrasing is original and really effective. A very nice track. Nicely done. Peace.
