Let’s build a Sailors Music Playlist...

[Will Gilmore]

One of my all time favorites. I went for over a year with that song stuck in my head. I still love it. You know it was written about a girl Stan Getz and Carlos Jobim watched walk by every Saturday morning while they had breakfast in a café in Ipanema. She was walking down to the beach to watch her boyfriend play on a volleyball team. Apparently, she still lives there.

I'm just curious what "drug addict music" is.

Jazz?
Grateful Dead?
Bob Marley?
Nirvana?
EDM?

It is music performed by drug addicts, favored by drug addicts, or about drug use

Apparently, ALL music is drug addict music. Here's an article titled 'This is your Brain on Music'
https://www.cnn.com/2013/04/15/health/brain-music-research/index.html

Music stimulates the production of dopamine, among other drugs, in the brain and dopamine is addictive.

Along with later Beatles stuff. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, certainly didn't stand for let's Sit Down

okay

 

[AlastairLC]

Poor Pirates from the 2018 Tony nominated Broadway musical SpongeBob Squarepants.

 

[Will Gilmore]

This song just came up on my streaming radio app.

Thought this should be added to every sailor's play list.
besides, who doesn't love Dire Straights?

Actually the title came from a picture that Julian Lennon drew of a classmate named Lucy. John asked him what the picture was, and he replied, "Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

 

[Terry Cox]

One of my all time favorites:

 

[AlastairLC]

Blow High, Blow Low from the great 1945 musical Carousel by Rogers and Hammerstein, now in revival on Broadway:

Other great song (not nautical) from same show: If I Loved You.
They don’t write them like that anymore.

Stan Rogers

 

[Ron20324]

...Apparently, she still lives there.

A TV show had a "Where are they now" show a couple years ago. There was The Lady, walking and swaying so sweet!

Dang. I had never heard that one. Thanks for posting!!

 

[BlowMeAway]

Dang, almost missed this one. So glad Cindy’s an online shopper. Great Pics too! Thanks @Peggie Hall HeadMistress for reminding me about JB.

 

[BlowMeAway]

Hey y’all, Dang it again, this ones dedicated to my pal. @Kermit .

 

[Peggie Hall HeadMistress]

You may not know that JB lost his dad to Alzheimers in 2003. He wrote the last song on the Banana Wind album, "False Echoes" as a tribute to him not long after it was diagnosed. I read somewhere that the other voice on it is James Taylor, but no mention of it in album credits. Guaranteed to put a lump in your throat.
