The Bonnie Ship the Diamond: The Diamond belonged to the West Greenland Whale Fishing fleet in the early 1800s. This rousing sailing song is one of our favorites and as this is our "maiden voyage" CD, of course we named it after her. Queen For a Day: Blackmore's Night penned this wistful tune about being "the golden one" and Kellie's voice captures the mood perfectly. Are Ye Sleeping, Maggie?: This is an old song about a young man who braves the raging weather, dark night and his beloved's father's disapproval to see his Maggie. Ah...young love. Summer Will Come 'Round Again: Karen brought this song to the group after hearing it on Jennifer Cutting's "Song of Solstice" CD. It's easy to find yourself humming this tune as you go about your day, but not in an ear worm kind of way. It's much friendlier than that. Sleepsong: Not your traditional lullaby, Marilyn's clear notes give voice to the wishes any parent would bestow on a child, even if they have just colored on the walls. Toast to Tomorrow: Another Blackmore's Night tune celebrating where we've been and what lies over the horizon. Fields of Gold: Sting's song, sung beautifully by Roald "Toad" Peterson. I always think of this as Toad's song to Nola. Nobody else knows this...until now. Touch the Sky: From the movie "Brave", we love to sing of the possibilities of reaching as far as we can, and then a bit more. The sky's the limit. Caledonia: Dougie MacLean tells the story of why he wrote this song: “I was in my early 20s and had been busking around with some Irish guys. I was genuinely homesick. I’d always lived in Perthshire. I played it to the guys when I got back to the youth hostel where we were staying and that was the final straw – we all went home the next day." (from a quote on Wikipedia). Marilyn and Kellie beautifully convey the longing for home and loved ones. Getting Dark Again: Marilyn and Kellie heard this song on a flight home from Brazil in 2002 and brought it to the group. These people know how to party...all night, into the next day and holy cats, it's getting dark again. Scarborough Faire/Canticle: The song Scarborough Faire dates from Medieval times and the original author is unknown. Paul Simon learned the tune in 1965 and with Art Garfunkel created Scarborough Faire/Canticle in 1966. This well-known version is the one we bring you. Heartland: Not just another sailing song, this gives a glimpse into the power of the sea and wind. These people were seriously stouthearted! If you know Gaelic, sing along. If you don't, sing along anyway..
