golf van melancholie

weer eens geluisterd naar Martha’s Harbour (1988) van All About Eve

All About Eve heeft sinds 1987 in Engeland al 16 hitsingles gescoord maar is in Nederland tamelijk onbekend gebleven. Martha’s Harbour vond ik laatst terug op youtube en er spoelde een golf van melancholie over mij heen.

All About Eve Martha’s Harbour

Martha’s Harbour

All About EveI sit by the harbour
The sea calls to me
I hide in the water
But l need to breathe

You are an ocean wave my love
Crashing at the bow
I am a galley slave my love
If only I would find out the way
To sail you…
Maybe Ill just stow away…

Ive been run aground
So sad for a sailor
I felt safe and sound
But needed the danger

All About Eve
All About Eve toen (boven) en nu (onder)
This song happened by accident when we were recording the first album. It was one of those things when we had the day off and we were sat in this very idyllic setting beneath a willow tree besides a stream by this beautiful residential recording studio and it just came out so naturally. It was a miracle of a little song and its very dear to us because of that, because it was very pure, a really happy accident. Everybody went to the pub and we put it down and by the time they got back Martha’s Harbour was committed to tape. Martha’s Harbour is a fictitious backdrop for this happening.
