Temat morza i mojego zafascynowania nim jeszcze kiedyś poruszę głębiej, lecz teraz, gdy moje plany z nim związane są dopiero w zalążku, przedstawię go z nieco innej perspektywy. Muzycznej perspektywy. Zainspirowany jednym z poniższych utworów wpadłem na pomysł wpisania w wyszukiwarce YouTube frazy: "sail away" i moim oczom ukazały się dziesiątki wyników. Zaskoczony ilością utworów zatytułowanych w ten sposób, zacząłem je przesłuchiwać, jeden po drugim. W taki oto sposób narodził się pomysł stworzenia mojej listy piosenek, których wspólna cecha to "sail away" w tytule. Na początku miała to być dziesiątka, ale w miarę zagłębiania się w wyniki wyszukiwania, znajdowałem kolejne ciekawe pozycje, których nie mogłem pominąć. I tak z dziesiątki zrobiła się trzydziestka. Istnieją też kawałki, które dotyczą tematu, ale moim zdaniem nie zasłużyły na klasyfikacje, nie zostały tu uwzględnione. A z pewnością jest ich jeszcze więcej, bo nie przejrzałem wszystkich wyników, ale nie chciałem też żeby ta lista urosła to niebotycznych rozmiarów. Mam nadzieję, że udało mi się chociaż odnaleźć te najistotniejsze utwory, które najbardziej oddają wybrane zagadnienie.
W swojej (podkreślę, że subiektywnej) ocenie kierowałem się dwoma wyznacznikami: moją preferencją muzyczną oraz własną interpretacją tekstu (który często miał przeważający wpływ na ocenę). Dlatego też, oprócz filmów z YT, przytaczam oryginalny tekst, bo w tej tematyce słowa mają ogromne znaczenie. Pozostawiam je także zamiast własnego komentarza, który wydaje się być w tym miejscu zbędny. Parafrazując jeden z moich kwietniowych postów - "sit and hear the music".
Ze względu na sporą ilość utworów, zamieszczenie całej listy w jednym poście nie wydaje się być dobrym pomysłem. Dlatego podzieliłem je na trzy osobne wpisy, które będą pojawiać się w kilkudniowych odstępach czasu. Dziś zaczynam od ostatniej dziesiątki.
30. Pet Shop Boys - Sail Away
When the storm clouds are riding through a winter sky
Sail away, sail away
When the lovelight is fading in your sweetheart's eye
Sail away, sail away
When you feel your song
is orchestrated wrong
Why should you prolong your stay?
When the wind and the weather blow your dreams sky high
Sail away, sail away, sail away
When your life seems to difficult to rise above
Sail away, sail away
When your heart feels as dreary as a worn-out glove
Sail away, sail away
But when soon or late
you recognise your fate
That will be your great, great day
On the wings of the morning with your own true love
Sail away, sail away, sail away
29. Oblivion Dust - Sail Away
If you don't wanna stay around here
Then I don't think that we should
Come with me
Let's find a way out
At the edge of the deep blue sea
There's a whole 'nother world out there
But it's hidden and secret
Send through the message to the manic mole that hides under the hill
She'll dig us fast down to the shore
And from there we'll take it slow and...
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
All the stones in the sky will shine
As we're torn from our shadows
If we're able to find a way out
And the crows that have kept us here
Won't be able to find us there
We'll be hidden and secret
Send through the message to the manic mole that hides under the hill
She'll dig us fast down to the shore
And from there we'll take it slow and...
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
I'll dig you down
I'll dig you down deep
Through the green green grass
And the dirt mud and the weeds
I'll get you out
I'll get you out clean
To the deep blue waters
That's a manic guarantee
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
Sail away
Let's do it baby
It's time to bring in sunshine
28. Randy Newman - Sail Away
In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American
Ain't no lions or tigers-ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
27. The Oak Ridge Boys - Sail Away
Across the bay a lady waits to hold me tight,
And my boat and I are ready to set sail.
If the weather keeps on holdin' and the wind is right
I'll be wrapped up in my sweet one's arms tonight.
And we will sail away on the wings of love into the night,
Cast out our fortunes on the sea.
Then we will go to sleep together with the rocking of the water,
And dream of how our life will someday be,
When she sails away with me.
As I skip across the waves my sails are high and full,
My mind is on the one I wait to see.
And I dream about an island somewhere in my mind,
Where someday I will take her off with me.
Then a smile comes upon me as I look across the bow;
I see a lady on the side.
But she will wait no more as I head for the shore,
Cause tonight I'm gonna take her for a ride.
26. Odetta - Sail Away, Ladies
It ain't no use to sit and cry
You'll be an angel by and by
Don't you rock it
Don't you rock it
Don't you rock on by
Don't you rock it Daddy-oh
I got a home in Tennessee
That's the place I want to be
Don't you rock it
Don't you rock it
Don't you rock on by
Don't you rock 'em Daddy-oh
Ever I get my new house done.
Give my old one to my son
Don't you rock it
Don't you rock it Daddy-oh
Don't you rock it my Daddy-oh
Don't you rock 'em daddy-oh
Ain't no use to sit and cry
Sail away ladies, sail away
You'll be an angel by and by.
Sail away ladies, sail away
Don't you rock it Daddy-oh
Don't you rock 'em Daddy-oh
Don't you rock it my Daddy-oh
Don't you 'em Daddy-oh
25. Stray Dogg - Sail Away
I tried to sail away,
But the waves keep bringing me back,
And for the reasons out of this world
I am sublimely drawn to you
And I can't even remember why
And I can't even remember why
Oh, why I need you
Why I love you
Why I need you tonight
Tie my hands and lead me
Don't listen to what I say
With mothers milk you'll feed me
And I know we'll make it all the way
And I can't even remember why
And I can't even remember why
Why I need you
Why i love you
Why I need you my love
24. The Rapture - Sail Away
Sail
Sail away
Sail away with you
With you
Stay
Gonna stay
With you
On an ice-covered hill
And I'll never come down
These people
They don't know
How it feels
How it feels
With you
I look away
I see sadness
I see pain
But with you
I see hope
I see shame disappear
I see shame disappear
I see shame disappear
I see shame disappear
I see shame disappear
These people
They don't know
How it feels
How it feels
With you
With you
Sail
Sail away
Sail away with you
With you
Stay
Gonna stay
With you
On an ice-covered hill
And don't ever look back
23. Jamie Graham - Sail Away
[tylko fragment]
There's no more games to be played
My heart's running out of space
I can't trust this world I've learned to hate
And the people it chooses to create
I no longer appreciate real love.
22. The Rasmus - Sail Away
Once upon a time we had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we had a plan
Sparks in the air, we spread a lot of envy
Didn't have to care once upon a time
Remember when I swore
My love is never ending
And you and I will never die
Remember when I swore
We had it all
We had it all
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days, are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away
Once upon a time we used to burn candles
We had a place to call a home
The dream that we lived
Was better than divine
Every day was like a gift
Once upon a time
Remember when you swore
Your love is never ending
And you and I would never die
Remember when you swore
We had it all
We'd never fall
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, twilight is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away
No reason to lie
No need to pretend
I'm grateful to die
To live once again
I'm fearless to fly
And reach for the end
And reach for the end
ohhohhhohhhohhh...
Sail away
Sail away, it's time to leave
Rainy days are yours to keep
Fade away, the night is calling my name
You will stay, I'll sail away
Sail away
The night is calling my name
Sail away
21. Enya - Sail Away
Let me sail, let me sail,
let the orinoco flow,
Let me reach, let me beach
On the shores of Tripoli.
Let me sail, let me sail,
Let me crash upon your shore,
Let me reach, let me beach
Far beyond the Yellow Sea.
From Bissau to Palau - in the shade of Avalon,
From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony,
From Peru to Cebu hear the power of Babylon,
From Bali to Cali - far beneath the Coral Sea.
From the North to the South,
Ebudc into Khartoum,
From the deep sea of Clouds
To the island of the moon,
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never been,
Carry me on the waves
To the lands I've never seen.
We can sail, we can sail...
We can steer, we can near
With Rob Dickins at the wheel,
We can sigh, say goodbye
Ross and his dependencies
We can sail, we can sail...
To tyle w tej części. Podsumowałbym ją, jako listę piosenek, które poruszają temat, lecz jeszcze nie do końca poruszają mnie. Nieważne jak bym to określił, po prostu kolejne utwory wydały mi się lepsze i tyle.
cdn.
You put Stray Dogg's song Whisper instead of Sail Away. When you correct that, it will be great list!
