    I'm listening to this laying next to my dying father. I'm playing it for him. Somewhere inside I know he hears it and his heart is smiling. ❤

    "Lukey's old boat is just a pale-shaded green". That line; Wow.

      There's a community in Nova Scotia called Terrence Bay...Lukey was a 4ft tall fisherman who had a pale green boat. I used to visit him and his sister, Daughter, when I stayed with my grandfather. Thanks for the memories...

    Makes me miss home seeing this video! I grew up in Goulds but spend a lot of my time in Petty Harbour. Seeing all the footage from there brought tears to my eyes.

    Just saw you in K.C. thursday night. Thanks for the great show. Definitely worth the 2 year wait. My fiancée has been smiling since we left.

    This hit me hard. It reminds me of the first time I heard Fisherman's Lament; I bawled my eyes out.

    So many people had to give up so much for the sake of “modern society”, & like the song says, it wasn’t always voluntary; sometimes I wonder if everything we have, all the goods, all the evils are worth the profound sadness & loss that people like the ones in the song had to go through, maybe there was another way

      @@alanthomasdoyle5728you’re the man. Always such a beautiful treasure to stumble across your videos and concerts. Been a fan since you played at the Rev in Edmonton in the early 90’s and it was a perfect remedy for a guy missing home but knowing he had to be away for work. Thank you for the lifetime of soundtrack and memories
      See you in the airport line up again someday I hope.
      Keep going and keep making us proud !!!

    Man,I miss home.
    But because of this plandemic,
    I'm stuck up here on the mainland.
    The video was beautiful.
    I miss the ocean most of all, the smell,
    The waves.
    Sure back home people are used to the storms we used to(and still do)Get.
    But I gotta laugh at these mainlanders,
    They think our storms are something to be feared.
    Sure when I was a youngster, I used to climb the cliffs in my hometown of torbay,
    And like you said,just enjoy watching the ocean rore.
