Away From the Roll of the Sea

DBS Homecoming Concert 1998

My life is inspired by this song in many ways. Whenever I feel the pressures of the world on my shoulders, I resort to the calmness and tranquility of the sea to ease off the pain.

Not only does this song explain the serenity the sea brings, but it also tells us how the sea contains the unspoken past of other people. It surely is a masterpiece for any choir to perform.

DBS, DGS, HYS and DPS did a great job in expressing this song.

Allister MacGillivray wrote this song. He noted that his song was written in response to a photo of Glace Bay Harbour (Cape Breton), as taken by photographer Warren Gordon. "I wanted to write a song with no people in it, only boats at rest. Of course, there's a ghost in one of the verses but he/she doesn't qualify as a human." His other songs "Coal town Road", Here's to Song", Kitty Bawn O'Brien","Looking Back","Sea People", "Tie Me Down" and my favorite "Out on the Mira". I miss living in CB.

As a retired high school choral director, I was happy to stumble upon this. Many, many fond memories that were the path to a glorious past - I thank you.
