about

'The Seagiant' arrived in the arms of my first love, circa 1984-5. I gave it back to the ocean, and recorded a couple of versions before settling with its ultimate form late 90s for my 3rd solo CD Ariel, released on Prikosnovénie, France at the turn of the century.

‘The Earth-Holder has granted me
Calm after the storm... I shall fasten the garlands on my hair and sing’
(Pindar, Isthmian VII)

lyrics

Sleep oh darling our Storm has passed,
dream of it all your life
though our dreams might only come briefly true
they last long after we die

Sleep, my Ocean my River my Rain,
safe in the Earth that loves you
rest my Hunger, down on the seafloor
till I return to wake you, I will return

Oh look you're so peaceful,
just like some man who dreams on the seafloor
Oh! my Seagiant was beautiful,
you won't forget me.
