Martha's Harbour (overdubbed) cover by Helen Marshall - Dracapalley

This is the pure magic that my fellow youtube friend weaved into this remix. Taking just the bare bones of my guitar and vocals, he's made this most beautiful arrangement to lift it to new plains.
Having never met, this is another example of what a gift the internet is... from London to New York, and a bit of water in between ;0)
Just wonderful. A million thank you's, Rich.
The version with just my guitar and vocals is also on my channel under the uploads.

I sit by the harbour
The sea calls to me
I hide in the water
But I need to breathe
You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
I am a galley slave my love
If only I could find out the way
To sail you...
Maybe I'll just stow away...
I've been run aground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe and sound
But needed the danger
You are an ocean wave my love...

It's been years and I still find myself comming back to this. It haunts me everytime I hear it. Crazy how a piece of music can have such an impact in my life.

And we keep coming back here... The power of good music, I guess. This is just so beautiful and soothing. You should sing more often, Helen (and post it, I mean! lol).

Was reminded about this song while browsing KZbin. It's been one of my favorites of yours. Very haunting, obviously in a good way. :)

This sounds more....commercial. I personally prefer the barebones version but "Rich" certainly did some great (professional!) work.
