about

First draft originally written between 9-31 Dec 2012 in Dublin.
With many and major edits, adjustments and rewrites up to 8th Feb 2015.

Basic idea: A contemporary Sea Shanty about the pioneering spirit of discovery and leaving safe ground. Saying goodbye to the comfort of what you know and love because life is moving you forward.

“You get to know where it's going
If you stay with it”

lyrics


3. Indian Ocean Blue 



Let’s just sail away on this ship 

Wave goodbye to all we know and not make sense of it 

Dance on the deck and twirl around in the dark 

And listen to the ship bell ringin’ in time to a new beat in your heart



Say goodbye my love
Say farewell, au revoir and adieu 

Bound for Indian Ocean Blue 



Where nothing that you do could ever be a mistake 

We thought it was a dream but it turns out we were very much awake

In the middle of a storm with all hands up on deck 

How can you know where you’re going if you haven’t been there yet 



Say goodbye my love
Say farewell, au revoir and adieu 
Bound for Indian Ocean Blue
Yes, it's time now my love to say goodbye 

Fare thee well and adieu
Bound for Indian Ocean Blue 




For a while, for a while Let it all fall apart for a while

You might find some pieces that don't fit

And for a while, follow your heart for a while 

You'll only get to know where it's going if you stay with it 

You get to know where it's going if you stay with it 


You only get to know where it's going if you stay with it

You get to know where it's going if you stay with it

Rory Faithfield Dublin, Ireland

Performing solo with acoustic guitar, harmonicas and a loop station, Rory has mesmerised audiences and critics alike. Bruce Elder stated, "Faithfield inhabits the same rich musical world as Christy Moore, Luka Bloom and Glen Hansard. His songs are wistful, romantic, deeply felt, beautifully crafted and sung with a voice that pours sincerity and emotion over every line and note”. ... more
