Explanatory liner notes by record label ANTI-:
A haunting ballad of the 19th century whaling ships. As well as being musical, sailors often displayed great poetic ability, as in the lyrics of this powerful song.

I found this during the months my father was dealing with cancer. I made a CD with this as the last song. I was driving him to a daily radiation treatment, this song came on, he listened through, he turned to me and said " What in sam hell were you thinking when you made this CD?" My Father passed two weeks later, Oct. 15, 2006.

@wizardrick57 That's a very touching story, especially when read in conjunction with listening to the song. My heart goes out to you on the loss of your dad....I know it was a couple of years ago but if you're anything like me it will still cause you pain.
