"starboard" Mix,
My childhood was spent on the beaches of crystal clear and beautiful Adriatic Sea, besides music, boats are my passion.
Maybe also cause mariners remained the closest to proper humans who help each other and do whatever it takes, including risking their own lives, to assist those in danger...
They know that one day, it could be themselves who need help or die, and this understanding of mutual non-negotiable assistance to another human being in distress... well, gives me hope for al of the humanity back on land, intent on killing each other, but not even understanding the purpose of their evil doings... This is because there is no purpose other than evil within...
The oceans, the seas and time spent out there, gives you plenty of time to think what matters the most and what was nothing more but a dangerous delusions Devil played on them..
Eventually, their life on land becomes much more bearable, since they abandoned the fear, the hate and found purpose, cause negativity within is the biggest cancer of all...
This song, among few others, always had me thinking of the sailors out there, fighting the storms, raging seas, cold and shivering while dreaming of the home embrace, warmth of the wife waiting and children laughing... and eventually reaching the shores as the first lights of the home harbor appears on the horizon...
"STARBOARD!! Ten Degrees... HOME.. we're Home...at last..captain!".. screams the watchman, tears of joy and pain filled their hearts with hope and joy, while silently thanking their Gods and promising redemption...
