Description A girl who loves a sailor.She believes he is lost at sea though in reality he has found another lover and in her grief she drowns.On a moonlit night in early November,the Sailor,drifting out on the Spanish Main hears an eery song floating across the brine.

Thanks to Rebsie
Lyrics Into The Sea

After the eve has fallen I watch for the witch in your eye
A star lights the road for the traveller but home is where the heart lies

Sail far my love for the ocean cries your name
But save a little salt of the earth for me
All vows we made will be written in the sand
Only to fade forever into eternity - Into the sea

Take all you want - it's worth nothing
My heart wont be sold by the pound
When all them young sailors roll in
You crawl like a rat through the town

Farewell bonny love - you wont be crying long
I ride the white horses struggling for to breathe
Kind words so bold will be written on the grave
Only to fade forever into eternity - Into the sea

Sail far my love for the ocean cries your name
But save a little salt of the earth for me
All vows we made will be written in the sand
Only to fade forever into eternity - Into the sea

Thanks Steve

Reinholt56 said 454 days ago
Excellent song.....
Everything about this song is good.

I couldn't work out the Dylan Thomas allusion in the keywords but that's an aside.

The singing and musician work, along with the composition and arrangement were first class.

Take care.

Paul.

paddler said 454 days ago
Dylan Thomas
Its a reference to the section on the original soundtrack read by Richard Burton where blind Captain Cat is sitting in the doorway trying to guess each passerby by the sound they make - the way they walk,the way they move.Then his mind wanders off when he hears Polly Garter and her youth reminds him of all his past loves and his favourite - Rosie - when he was a sailor on the see saw sea long long ago.She appears in his mind as a phantom and tells him that she is dissapearing into the dark of the darkest night and that she is forgetting him and she is forgetting that she was ever born.Yet he has her name tattooed on his arm and wishes he could have died in her bosom.Its incredibly sad and probably touches me more deeply as an artwork than any I have experienced because it approaches what I think is the basis of life in a way - collaboration.

kangaroos are very cool though,too

Thanks Sir Reinholt!


Reinholt56 said 453 days ago
Thanks for the response.....
I appreciate your details response Richard.

I was just approaching the DT link from the wrong angle. Must read the play again.

I was once called sir by a spice seller in Bab Al-Yemen, but I didn't think that anyone overheard.

Take care.

Paul.

paddler said 453 days ago

You were also called sir by birdman yesterday - it stuck with me for some reason.

Love
how you did this. It sounds like a musical Fairytale. The nice warm voice sounds so personal and the vocal and backing are perfect; love the waltz rhythm, M

paddler said 454 days ago
Waltz
I never noticed it was 3 4 time till you said! I play a few waltzes in the restaurant namely Tulips from Amsterdam and the Merry Widow - perhaps they were a subconcious influence.Many Thanks

re
Thanks Michael - I'm about to follow that link.Yeah Rebsie certainly has a versatile voice - was just listening to the collab she did with Dick Langford - sort of like a female Tommy Steele(!) But yeah I really like the high stuff she does in the background - sirenish

Rebsie said 452 days ago

I get about a bit don't I? Hehe.

I'm looking forward to doing more stuff with Dick, he's brilliant.

jpfeiff said 453 days ago
Timeless, eerie, beautiful!!
Has a timeless feel...love that British folk sound. Sounds contemporary, but like it could be from long long ago as well. There's kind of that eerie edge to it, too, that I always find appealing in the British folk tradition.

Production is jst right for this sort of piece. DL'd and Faved!

paddler said 453 days ago
re
I'm a big fan of eery,and the ocean can be very that.There used to be a guy in Cornwall who believed in 'sea heads' and claimed to have a collection of these things he found washed up that were like human heads made from entwined seaweed but were rooted in the coral.Very weird indeed.Actually thats quite gruesome now I come to think of it.Thanks jp!

Thanks Kenta - enjoyed your last song.Love can span the distance.Regards RG

peacepiano said 453 days ago
Lovely
You weave a beautiful picture with your many vocal layers. The instruments are a bit folksy but the vocals remind be of Renaissance, with Rebsie sounding like Annie Haslam :)

Thanks
Bill

paddler said 453 days ago
Annie Haslam
I wasnt sure what Annie Haslam sounded like so I downloaded her version of Yes's 'Turn of The Century' - beautiful.What would be a good renaissance track to start off with? I've heard of them many times,but dont know any..

peacepiano said 452 days ago
Try
Ocean Gypsy is a good song to start with. Its pretty short for a Renaissance song at 7 min.

said 452 days ago
Late to the party...
You guys make a great team in this, clouds open, oceans divide and subside...you two posses a real power in this music you have presented here...

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Thanks Tom - The party never ends!
(at least thats my theory)

DWL said 452 days ago
Exquisite
it's another level.

Nice work guys

Cheers

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Thanks Dick - I had to Marry You is so much fun

Ejh said 452 days ago
There's a lot of Bert Jansch...
...in your lead vocal on this, and a touch of Pentangle in the vocal interplay...

I think the mix is dramatically better over headphones. I first listened over speakers, and didn't much care for it. The vocals and the guitar didn't seem to be getting a working blend, but more fighting themselves. It was hard to hear the words clearly.

I came back to it later and listened over 'phones, and it sounded much better. At least for me, and over my system, the mix could use a bit of tweaking over speakers, so that it sounds good in a wider range of settings.

I'll have to go look up Under Milkwood now...

Ed

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Thanks ed.Ahaha 'I didn't much care for it' is such a polite way of saying no thanks,I must remember that.Glad you came back tho - I must confess thats a side of things I suffer from a little - I actually prefer to mix things through speakers at quite high volumes but where I presently live thats not possible so I go through headphones - theres probably quite a huge difference in the way you hear things.

I must go and look up Bert Jansch

regards RG

echoroom said 452 days ago
Classy!
Wonderful collab guys - just sublime!

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Thanks Echo - I'm on my way to your page soon - I always forget where you live but remember its uk.Rebsie must have added the classy factor cos I just really enjoyed a curry from a tin with easy cook rice witch is done even easier in a microwave.rg

Rebsie said 452 days ago

Thanks Richard!

It's a great song and it was fun to sing.

I didn't pick up on the Under Milk Wood reference until you mentioned it but it makes sense. When I was younger I used to listen to the Richard Burton recording while lying in complete darkness, just immersing myself in his voice and the sounds of the words. Quite magical. I never seem to have time to do things like that anymore.

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Cheers Rebs.I remember bunking off from a factory job and walking across the sussex downs in the rain listening to Under Milkwood - its great stimulation for the imagination I find.But I should find time to read more.

I think another favourite picture from it is that bit about wondering through the apple orchards down to where the old man plays the harmonium to shell peas that fall into the lap of the world,something along those lines

Very pretty and haunting at the same time . Absolutly loved this song nice mix and wonderful vocals

paddler said 451 days ago

Thanks for taking the time to comment DJ - haven't heard you for a while so I'll be coming over for a nose around.Appreciated.rg

guitapick said 451 days ago
Beautiful song...
...lyrics/music/singing/production...

Yeah...this one's a beauty...

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Thanks Guitapick.Productions the bit I always feel I fall down on cos the recordings from garageband seem just weightier in eq so its good of you to say so.Must check out more of your stuff.rg

Peter Bauckham said 451 days ago
I too
am hearing a bit of Pentangle here - and I love it! Your voices are really complementary. Very nicely put together - an instant fav.

Peter

paddler said 451 days ago
re
Cheers Peter - I like Pentangle but I only know Light Flight from my student days.Regards rg

Komrade K said 451 days ago
Been listening over and over...
...absolutely bewitching. The vocal layers work so well together and the melody is very seductive (particularly those bits at the end of the couplets and when the harp comes in).

KK

dolby said 448 days ago
Yes indeed...
...another very nice tune. Lovely combination of vocals here. Always a sucker for a rolling 3/4 or 6/8 tune, and this fits the bill perfectly.

Nice work,
Phil

apb said 447 days ago
This is the dogs ..

..and I couldn't agree more with Stevel .. the vocals
really go well together: paddler lower down perhaps
than normal .. and those lovely harmonies from
Rebsie ..

.. the mix is perfect .. I would just perhaps EQ
the guitar a little brighter .. seems a little
'hand-strummed' dullness creeping in ..(which you
don't get with a pick)

.. perhaps you need some mandolin in this??.. might
work well with the harp .. save it for MJ UK 2008?

:o)

Kudos to y'all.

Late arriver
Hi, I'm a late arriver here .. glad I didn't miss is .. this is fantastic and intresting music. Very Paddlery if you don't mind the expression. This goes for my Paddler collection!

kristyjo said 435 days ago
Oooo-
such deliciously rendered harmonies! The guitar is wondrous, too. The addition of harp makes it magical. I love the shifting major/minor tonality, and the way the chord progression on 'struggling for to breathe' worked, well, it was gorgeous! You two are great together. More Rebsie/Paddler collabs!!!

paddler said 401 days ago

thanks kristyjo!
