Force 10 From Fair Isle The Shipping Forecast is a daily radio report for British mariners which has become a favourite with other folks ( like myself) who have hardly been to sea, but just like the mystery and strangeness of the names and images conjured up by the ocean weather terms. Joanne Cooper kindly agreed to sing this cautionary tale and helped to come up with the backtrack. RealTracks in style: 2457:Strings, Rhythm CelticAir Ev 085 2489 Bass Acoustic 1814 Guitar Acoustic Celtic Air 1604 Fiddle Background Pop Force 10 From Fair Isle a boy threw a pebble changed his mind about letting go mother let me dive into the ocean bring it back for you to hold my boy the sea`s bright shimmers are the skin of a beast don`t be a fool like your brothers no selkie waits to save you in the deep come away now I tell you true come away for the shipping news force 10 from Fair Isle veers east to Viking cyclonic winds expected low I am held by sons I cannot hold held by their saviour on the radio Fitzroy Tyne and Trafalgar mother I see galleons in the storms off Lundy Island u-boats and Napoleon boy I see my dreams a-drowning in these pictures you make drowning in the tears our lord will cry for my sake come away now I tell you true come away from the shipping news force 10 from Fair Isle veers east to Viking cyclonic winds expected low I am held by sons I cannot hold held by their saviour on the radio held by their saviour on the radio © Robert Cordrey May 2017 selkie = mythological creature, part seal part human

Glad you liked this, thanks Marty! Haunting and beautiful. Love the lyrics and production. Joanne's vocal is stunning. Excellent all around.
Bob Bob, I appreciate your listen and kind comments. Since collaborating with Joanne before and listening to many of her songs, I`d wanted to hear her since something with a Celtic flavour as her voice has the crystal clear quality of some of my favourite female folk singers.Boy, did she deliver! Robert

thank you robert I enjoyed writing this - been wanting to write a song of the sea with the radio theme but couldn`t get started til I found the first line hiding in some old notes. Thank you for listening and commenting. Robert Man, so good!!
Great writing, and that vocal is about as good as it gets. Love those harmonies! And mix is perfect too.
Excellent collaboration!
Dave, Thank you! Because we exchanged Real Band files this time I was able to get a sneak peak at the way Joanne builds her great harmonies- very cool. There`s also a double tracked acoustic guitar ( panned l&r) Joanne added in some parts which was a new idea to me. Robert

Jeez Robert and Joanne this song was stunning. The emotion in the lyric and back track set me back. I don't very often get affect by a lyric but this one did. Joanne's vocal just fit the song so perfectly. I would love to here this one the radio

Graham Graham, I`m fine with you playing this on your shows... so you just link from Sound Cloud? I can send the WAV if you pm me. Cool... a song about your part of the world by a Canadian, sung by a South African, on Scottish radio! Robert

Robert and Joanne,
This is a fine listen.
The production sounds excellent and Joanne, your singing is absolutely superb. So much attention has been paid to detail in the creation of this song and its presentation! The final product is a terrific collaboration. I also found myself captivated by the chord progression... the sequence had a very haunting and mysterious sound; it was an excellent backdrop for Robert's imagery.
All the best,
Noel

Alan Alan, Many thanks for that- I`m happy you were captivated. Apart from that great vocal, Joanne also set the instrument levels and panning. The radio clip is from the only time the Forecast was broadcast on tv - I just added some background squelch. Robert What a tune! Very, very pretty I don't think there is a thing I would change. The arrangement, and Joanne's vocals are absolutely on point. Wonderful job on this - thanks for sharing! Thank you, Deryk!

beautiful tune so sweetly sung !
Absolutely super !
Cheers
Dani Dani, Thanks for your listen and kind comments. Robert What a great listen!
I really enjoyed this haunting and beautiful melody
great collaboration, beautiful vocals
loved the ending
Kenny Kenny, I still listen to traditional British folk music, so no doubt the melody was influenced by some of my favourite ballads. I like the radio announcer`s voice - delivering dire warnings as if its a bedtime story! Thanks for your comments. Robert Jeez Robert and Joanne this song was stunning. The emotion in the lyric and back track set me back. I don't very often get affect by a lyric but this one did. Joanne's vocal just fit the song so perfectly. I would love to here this one the radio Scott, You made my day with that! For the lyrics, it was fun to try to get into the very different ways a boy and his mother might feel about the sea. Thanks for your support and reposting the song. Robert
