Synopsis

Album Description

A unique collection featuring some of the best recording artists and songwriters in Atlantic Canada. These contemporary works reflect many aspects of life lived at the edge of the sea. Some tell of the days of sail, others of the proud fisherfolk who rely on the ocean for their livlihood. There are also songs that speak of the awesome power of the sea - a power that can heal and inspire, as well as destroy.

CAPTURES THE SPIRIT OF THE SEA

Soaring Heart | 08/17/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you find the sea and everything associated with it mesmerizing and magnificient; you'll love this. It has a John Denver feel to it--you know what he loved by his music, likewise; you know these singers and songwriters truly love and have experienced the Spirit of the sea (yes the Spirit.) "Songs of the Sea" is full of nostalgia and longing for the sea. It tells many stories of the sea and paints numerous pictures in my mind. I feel very fortunate to have happened upon this by chance and hope and expect to be listening many decades from now, Lord willing.I love all the songs but the first, "Silver Sea" captures my feelings best: "...The ocean has always been a part of me. I can feel the salt-water running through my veins"...The only thing that is missing is the words to the songs. But don't worry, you'll listen to this so much you'll learn all the words by heart. It would be great to go sailing with this music playing. Someday..."One can not look at the sea without wishing for the wings of a swallow." Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-1890 English Explorer.) This music will make you feel like that swallow. I highly and whole-heartedly recommend this to sea lovers worldwide!"
