about

I have some old vhs recordings of John recording the drums for this section in 1993 in Balmerino. Julio Pacheco played metal percussion on the same day. Ronnie Goodman added a Djembe and some conga's to the track in 1995.

lyrics

At first they were guided by the whale-songs that had drawn them to the North
Past the great shoals of cod and herring south of Shetland and then into the North Sea.

He began to feel unclean inside himself and longed for the fast fresh water of the river, to wash him and
then into the North Sea.
louder and murkier than when he had passed through two years ago.
It tasted of steel and oil.
Hastened by the foul, muddy water, Stanley and the others swam continuously,
never stopping,
never resting.

The entire shoal swam South and Stanley began to wonder if they were travelling too far.
He felt his home was somewhere behind him, and so he dropped back into the shoal, with the intention of turning North again.
