No islands left, for islanders. I was listening to a song by a fantastic singer, composer and piano player. He is the 6.th best selling artist in USA. I believe he has some connection to Long Island, NY. I think he has been an islander most of his life. He wrote a song called *The Downeaster Alexa*. It is his boat. A downeaster named after his daughter, Alexa. It is a stunning composition in a very special folk style. Brilliant lyric.. straight from the heart. Click here to eperience my source of inspiration Great video for the song too, by the way. As soon as i realized what the lyric was about...I had to interpret his composition and put an image on it. The song is about how hard... the Long island fishermen, baymen, whatever... was hit by sad tendences in our society. I have been an islander all my life...and always will be.... #;oD My father was an islander all of his life... my grand father was an islander and a fisherman all his life. My great grand father was an islander and a fisherman all his life.... The ocean is a dangerous place to work... deadly to some. Several of my old friends from the school days.. has drowned during their career as a fisherman. So i could very much identify with the lyric of the song. Even if my entire family has died... I still remember who, how, and what they were. I guess that is why i liked the song a lot. I find it sad to see how power holders, destroy small societies.. especially the islanders. The power holders want us all to live in big cities. Then it is easier for them to control us and surveil us. #;oD God forbid that. #:o) I also think the conclusion on the lyric is... society want us all to be a professor. Even the people who are not born to be a professor. I belive that fact make a lot of peolple unhappy. Boat - Fishing boat is a freebie from ShareCG. Deviney wave brushes.
