[Fanmix] Sea Fever; a mix for a sea voyage

[amoama]

For klingonlady,

Subject: Sea Voyages
Title: Sea Fever
Notes: For the waywardmixes holiday exchange, for klingonlady who wished for "sea voyages". Sorry I couldn't do a mix for either of your pairings, but you'll see I did use a song from the mix that you made for NCIS, Are You in Love with Your Partner?, which I love so much. <333 Happy Holidays, Klingonlady!
I based the mix around the poem, Sea Fever, by John Masefield. Although on the cover I've quoted part of H.D.'s poem, Sea Heroes, which is also lovely. The art on the covers is by Janette Kerr.

Sea Fever
John Masefield (from Salt-Water Ballads, 1902)

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a gray mist on the sea’s face, and a gray dawn breaking.

I must down go to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.



I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
Can't Go Back – Rosi Golan
Some things you can’t go back to, some things need left alone
Don’t mess with a memories of a life passed on
Oh the tumbling reservations at the heart of my mistakes
Oh some things you can’t go back to cause you let them slip away

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
Red Sky – Thrice
I know the ocean speaks, I've heard her call to me.
And smiling in my dreams she whispers this
(The stars retreat behind their veil.
The clouds are clinging to your sail.
The storm is coming can you see?)

And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
Philip Glass – String Quartet #3

And a gray mist on the sea’s face, and a gray dawn breaking.
We're Turning into Regular People – The Tumbled Sea
{instrumental}


I must down go to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
The Shores – The Sea of Cortez
If this is what we were born to do
Then we got to get it together
Things are getting too loose
We gotta batten down the hatches

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
Blue Caravan – Vienna Tang
He said, "Go where you have to
For I belong to you until my dying day."
So like a fool, blue caravan
I believed him and I walked away.

And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
A Simple Motion – t.A.T.u
The simplest stroke is the swell of the ocean
The slightest caress, a well of emotion
Flowing through you and flowing through me
Waiting in silence, swirling inside you
Steady and slow, rhythm is patience
All that we know, answers to questions
Growing in you, growing in me
Fulfilling a need, over and over

And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
Out of the Dark – Matt Hires
The world I've discovered
It feels nothing like my heart
I wanna escape it
Or try to embrace it
I keep re-arranging everything I know


I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
The Moon Is Down – Radical Face
You were never at rest
You were always somewhere-bound
And I'd hate to see you caged
So all that I ask
Is you come say hi when you're around
It ain't much
But it's good enough for me

To the gull’s way and the whale’s way, where the wind’s like a whetted knife;
O Fortuna – The Piano Guys
{instrumental}

And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
Barefeet – Seahags
I opened my eyes and to my surprise
There was a barrel of whiskey
Heaven can wait for a later date
Because the Lord sure knew I was thirsty

And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick’s over.
Cicatrices – Caramel
{instrumental}
Gone to Sleep – Moby
Somewhere there's a Sunday in the fall,
Where you love is safe and warm,
Where everything was right
But I'm never goin' home
Mugu - TransparentSea
{instrumental}
