BACKGROUND
I decided to choose a playlist based around the sea whilst listening to the Sea evening. These are some of my favorite songs about the sea that I have at home. As I was brought up in Cornwall the sea has always been present in my life. First is a song about leaving to go to sea, the second is about a peg-leg-father coming back to his daughter and the third is about the tragic impossibility of love sometimes when one of you is out to sea and the other is somewhere else. I love all three songs very much.
