Along A Foreign Coast 4:33
In a silhouette the slumbering grove
Against a twilight sky
An arch of stars to span the cove
In dusk, now in dark they lie
In dusk, now in dark they lie
His privateer in anchored and rides
Along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must rise
And so must leave her host
And so she must leave her host
And a simple thing he will press her to take
A seal for their time alone
Set in silver for love's sake
A sea green precious stone
A sea green precious stone

GF:
Seána Davey played Harp on Along A Foreign Coast. We chose not to use the Cimbalom in the end.
Guy's answer to jbaent's question.

Hopefully it has a Celtic sound like the Golden Heart era.

I'm also wondering what kind of sound will dominate this album. The first two singles are more country.

I can't listen a single note of the harp on this song... I wonder why they recorded it :hmm

That's great news, I won't have the album until next week, so, this is something to look forward to.

It has some of the GH era vibes and reminds me a bit of On raglan road, but this recording quality is way better. GH (unfortunately) sounds a little “dull” and flat in terms of audio quality. This record certainly doesn’t: it’s transparent, crisp and clear.

This is a slow 'done with bonaparte' ;)

No, I can't :(

I think it starts with harp and acoustic guitar immediately, you can hear it in the first 10 seconds for example.

I know it slowly might come across as a ridiculous fan boy, but I love this one, too! Such a rich record, so much to discover. Awesome.

Read the lyrics now, it is the privateer from Privateering (the song) revisited. He spent a night with one of the dark-eyed ladies and he pressesd her to take a sea green precious stone when she has to leave. Beautiful lyrics to think about.

"Along A Foreign Coast"
In a silhouette the slumbering grove
Against a twilight sky
An arch of stars to span the cove
In dusk, now in dark they lie
In dusk, now in dark they lie
His privateer in anchored and rides
Along a foreign coast
And now his cherished guest must rise
And so must leave her host
And so she must leave her host
And a simple thing he will press her to take
A seal for their time alone
Set in silver for love's sake
A sea green precious stone
A sea green precious stone

This song fades out too suddenly for me.

Definitely a song that flies under the radar. Such a lovely melody.

Stunningly beautiful is all I can say to this lovely song. Listened a few times to this in the car this morning and then in our beach hut here this afternoon in Dorset. The tune is absolutely beautiful...

I did the same yesterday, 4 times while driving along a sun lit coast, water shimmering. It was so beautiful. What a wonderful song.

The second stanza is not easy :think

Interesting mix of instruments. Wonder how they decided on harp over cimbalom?

Guy left the tea bag in for too long, and they made the decision under the influence.
