The Downeaster "Alexa" was originally released in 1989 as a part of the album, "Storm Front".
The song is about a fisherman trying to make his ends meet.
Incidentally, the boat in this song, "Alexa" is named after Billy Joel's daughter. In fact Joel actually owns a boat named "Alexa".

  • I've been trying to make something of myself in broadcasting as a dj for 4 years. "I know there's fish out there but where God only knows". Here's to all the people who have put years into a carrear and are still trying to make something of themselves! Why did I have to fall in love with a dying industry? I'll never give up.
