海上人 | 維珍土壤

馬丁 · 科里諾嘅說話

London based Seafarers latest release, "維珍土壤," 離開佢哋嚟緊嘅專輯 "奧蘭多" 已經令我哋迷上有一首鬼美好靚嘅曲調，係憧憬同失去. Lauren Kinsella's elegant voice narrates the emotions around the loss of a grandparent who shared their love of gardening, and how they now symbolically dwell in the soil they tilled together. "My grandfather was an avid gardener and this song was written across his gentle deterioration at the end of his life", the band's founder Matthew Herd explains. "It was like a return to nature. I remember him comparing life to a garden, that death is essential for new growth."

"You told me about the garden,
as we sat in chapel stalls.
I will rest my spade by the sycamore tree
where you taught me to walk
as I come to your knees.

Now the soil fills your mouth
and the roots drag you down
You're home."

With such an emotive and moving experience, 維珍土壤令我哋好痛，聽到海員更多.
