rd95's recent post brought the line "tyranny of distance" to my mind, which reminded me of this classic song : I wanted to sail around the world That's the life for me, living on the sea Spirit of a sailor, circumnavigates the globe The lust of a pioneer, will acknowledge No frontier I remember you by, thunderclap in the sky Lightning flash, tempers flare, 'round the horn if you dare I just spent six months in a leaky boat Lucky just to keep afloat Glisten like a pearl At the bottom of the world The tyranny of distance Didn't stop the cavalier So why should it stop me I'll conquer and stay free Ah c'mon all you lads Let's forget and forgive There's a world to explore Tales to tell back on shore I just spent six months in a leaky boat Six months in a leaky boat Don't be fooled by her kind There's a wind in my sails Will protect and prevail I just spent six months in a leaky boat Nothing to it leaky boat. When I was a young boy Aotearoa, rugged individual Ship-wrecked love can be cruel

I can't remember if I shared this in a weekly music thread yet I've always been the sort of person who listens to depressing music to feel better, and I've definitely been listening to a lot of this album lately.

I also listen to a lot of this at work:

I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but it's been stuck in my head all weekend. If you're into this song too, please let me know I'm not the only idiot. Bushes of Love (We all got a Chicken-Duck-Woman thing waiting for us... Every day I worry all day about what's waiting in the bushes of love...)

Skip to 23:43 if it doesn't automatically. This makes it a normal-length listen and shows you my favorite part. Probably need to turn up the volume, too. I find this incredibly beautiful and profound. I'm only slightly ashamed to say this recording has made me cry a bit.
