Tundra Cats – Sea Song

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

While the song is not directly influenced by them, I was watching a rather good documentary on the Moody Blues back in February on Sky Arts, and I had my guitar and made up this little tune. It’s been a long time coming. It was originally going to be a bit more psychedelic, but I thought better of it. It’s not inspired by anything in particular, but as I wrote it a story came together so that makes a change from my usual brand of pure nonsense.

The opening shot is from the beach in Brighton. Most of the rest of the video is Lake Titicaca. So not a sea but I had the footage and thought I should use it.

A couple of bits of video come from Pixabay:

The lyrics:

I was a sailor
In a party of five
The ship was a failure
We were hardly alive

Then we saw our saviour
The most beautiful thing
On our best behaviour
We let it begin

Oh-oh

Out of the danger
We started to fight
The friends became strangers
A peculiar sight

If we hadn’t been rescued
We wouldn’t be here
And I don’t know about you
That’s my greatest fear

Yeah-eah

Why did we go to sea?
Remember me, remember me
