Final Resting Place
I have always had a fascination with boats that have surpassed their ‘use by’ date. Just imagine the sights they have witnessed, the tales they could tell of riding the waves, assuming they don’t succumb to them, before reaching their final resting place. Then it’s a twice daily salt bath to soothe their aching joints before eventually perishing completely……
So, to the music. I’ve never linked this piece before and if you’re really not a fan of modern classical then look away now.
However, if you have 26 minutes and 46 seconds to spare, go find a quiet place, put some headphones on and immerse yourself.....
It’s a slow burner but builds and builds, gaining momentum and power. I see this boat battling against a progressively angry sea…..
It’s mournful and melancholic but truly beautiful, one of my favourite pieces and the voice of Dawn Upshaw is simply sublime.
Alternatively, on a lighter note, if your weekend would not be complete without a Pelican trying to eat a Capybara, then here you go...
