Great Big Sea

So, recently - when I was in Canada, I picked up a copy of the new Great Big Sea CD/DVD combo, called Courage & Patience & Grit. I've said it many times before, but there is no other band that comes close to Great Big Sea when it comes to energy and getting the crowd involved.

Maybe it has something to do with their audiences being made up of primarily Newfies who are far from home and desperate for a little Newfoundland anything. If you're a fan, pick up the album. It's pretty incredible.

The DVD is about 2 hours long . . . .the whole concert and has much better audio quality than their first DVD.

Granted, it makes me very homesick . . . but that doesn't take much anyway.

Grace,

Desmond

P.S. Check out these lyrics and let me know what you think:

Shines Right Through Me
Released February 2004
(written by McCann/Mahoney/Doyle)

These days I feel a change, All the patterns rearranged
Though I can‘t explain, I know I’m not afraid
Now I realize all good things can be supplied
And they come from you

Chorus
It‘s all brand new, and it shines right through
Shines Right Through Me
I look at you and you, and it shines right through
Shines Right Through Me

This feeling that I‘ve found, like sleeping on a cloud
Smiling at the sky, Not even knowing why
Strange how things work out, I know without a doubt
That it comes from you

Break me out of emptiness, Lead me to your light
Anything worth having is worth some sacrifice
Laid too long in lonliness, This world was made to change
Half an hour of sunshine is worth a week of rain

Air is flowing free, it‘s a little easier to breathe
This soul unbound, was lost and found
No reason left to hide, I feel a light inside and it comes from you
