Come Sail The Seas!

Seasong for the Moominpappa

Narrated:
"There it is,” Moominmamma murmured.
"That's where we're going to live and lead a wonderful and troublesome life.”
"What did you say?” asked Moomintroll
"That is where we're going to live," repeated Moominmamma.
"That is Pappa's island. Pappa is going to look after us."

Peaceful is the ocean, careful in the motion.
A scent of salt and seaweed and of sand.
The nature of the sea, the ebbing flooding dream,
wave after wave - this movement will prevail.
Then suddenly some gulls rise from the point.
The heather shows the weather.
Still, the risky seasong takes you to the deeper waters.

No sails 'been seen to pass in four long dreary years.
In any case, the lighthouse keeper is gone.
A tiny rocky island, wating eerie silence
- the lighthouse seems a lonely place to be.
The lighthouse seems the only place to be for the family, to see for the familly
in the crystal ball.
Now they miss the seasong.

Worse things happen, happen at sea.
Now is the moment to be listening to
the seasong

(The seasong takes them to the furthest island)

Seems everybody's in a hurry.
So wouldn't it be nice to set off worried?!

The boat was lying tied up, bobbing up and down,
upholding its good name: "The Adventure."
Pattering on the jetty, the sun was in the setting.
Moominpappa knew he had the course,
He held the rudder tightly in his paws.
The heather shows the weather
and the risky seasong takes you
out on deeper waters.

Worse things happen, happen at sea.
Now is the moment to be listening to
the seasong.

Ride on the swells, the white-flecked spindrift.
Riding the waves, the cold spray flying.
Wind, snapping sails, the call of sea birds,
Listen friend! Can you hear the...
...was that a mermaid calling your name?
Wasn't that a crate of good strong whisky?
Piracy good living?
Weigh anchor! Set the sails for...anywhere!

Message in a bottle:
"Come sail the seas, go fishing with me!
Come sail the sea, go fishing with me!”

Of course, you may think your ships are sturdy...

Over the weekend my wife and I redecorated one of our bathrooms in an underwater tropical reef theme with a giant wall mural (pic). Now I need to figure how to rig something up so that that the end of Seasong for the Moominpappa plays when you flush.

Here's the e-mail I sent to Ritual to tell them what their music does to us:

Hey folks,

I want to tell you about your success at proggedradio.com

"Seasong for the Moominpapa" is in the top 10 airplay charts for most of the time since more than half a year now.

We, the listeners who chat at the stations site develloped our own 'ritual' when Seasong plays.
There has to be a pirates adventure during this time:
Our nicknames then change and have something to do with piracy, or at least a moomin is added.
We talk about fishing, sailing, robbery, rum, cannonballs, etc untill the refrain comes up. Then we 'sing' it at the chat, typing the lyrics in the chat. After all that we all are happy because of the adventure you guys lead us to, and return to normal chat hardly.

this sounds ridiculous, I know, but you should check to see it yourself...
check www.proggedradio.com for some moomin - time.

We all thank you for the great moomin music you provide us with.

Keep on rockin'
