HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Day 23: A song that mentions a body of water
My birthday is coming up tomorrow, and that makes me introspective. Or more so. As i have said in here many times, the ocean is where my soul lives. And this is a song of love and contemplation on growing older, written by Jimmy Buffett for a drug smuggler who would rather have been a pirate. I get that
Jimmy is a sailor at heart. I am a surfer. I have surfed the Pacific, the Atlantic, the Caribbean, the Sea of Japan, and the North China Sea. And everywhere, when you are past the breakers waiting for your set -- which is my favorite part of surfing, as boring as that seems -- it is just you, the sea, and the sky. And that's where I find myself, who I am, just me and Mother Ocean.
"Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all"
Tomorrow I grow a year older. When I get off work, I am going to drive a couple hours to the Pacific, strip down, and walk into the sea. I don't always do this, but it has been a hard year, and I want to wash it from me, to Go to Water.
And I may just be singing this.

I think I recently posted Sharon Jones’ version, now the original
"Not available," so I found one that was.Day 25: A song that mentions sky
Subgenres within subgenres, a never ending maze in which it is oh so easy to get lost. Most of the time it seems pointless, but then you come across a band like D-A-D and realize that, no, merely saying that they're a rock band isn't enough to describe their complex blend of music.
There's something else there.
A twang.
Blues rock.
