a king of salt and stones, your compass it swings from you to me tonight

It's raining buckets here tonight, so Mom & I have been having a quiet afternoon/evening at home. We watched the film Ondine and I was really charmed by the song rolling over the credits. Unfortunately, it's an unreleased track by Lisa Hannigan (best known for performing with Damien Rice--aka the most depressing musical artist of all time). But I was able to snag an mp3 from a youtube video (it's amazing what the internet can do), so I can use it as my song of the day. :)

I love songs about the sea, and especially when trumpets are involved. This is a beautiful, endearing love song that evokes the same themes of folklore and magic as the film. I want to write something based on it at some point.

"Braille" by Lisa Hannigan
