I would put money down that any fan of this film has said to themselves "I love this song...how can I get a copy?" And for years I have searched up and down. I have come across other people on youtube, or in camping and canoeing forums on the same mission. To no luck.
The song, written by Folk singer songwriter David Campbell is a beautiful flow of words that place you into the wilderness, and calms your soul. David Campbell has a youtube page filled to the brim with folk songs, but none are the song from the film. People have littered his comments with request for the piece, but to no response from David.
My wife loves to sing to our Son before bed, and this song is a frequent one that comes up. So serene, so warming and sounds great just singing the words. I have had the idea of pulling it from the film for year, but finally did it.
It was a bit of a task, no so much pulling the song, but arranging it in a fashion that is is a complete song. If you unfamiliar with the film and the song, it goes like this:
The opening has the first Chorus and the humming section as one 2 min long song for the opening theme. Then about 5 or so minutes in there is a more subdued chorus and fades out and that's it. So the task was how to arrange this in a flowing song. Well as you can see I stuck the humming at the end, and blending the second chorus in the middle. I think I nailed it the best you can, from a song that might originally been two takes completely and transformed them in to one track for your listening pleasure. Maybe one day we will have access to the real song...with a real title. Enjoy.

Valuing the tirelessness you put into your site and point by point data you give. It's marvelous to go over a blog from time to time that isn't the same obsolete repeated material. Brilliant read! I've spared your site.

ReplyDeleteGreat song. I love the movie, the actors, the song. Literally everything)) What a pity that such good movies are not produced now. I hate modern cinematography, it's so primitive. Even AdvancedWriters discounts can't save it!

Great that you were able to pull this together. It seems to be missing some verses, though. I have some old hand-written notes that I took from the movie that continue the words from where you left off as follows:
ReplyDelete"Blow western blow, we'll go where you go
And dance with you for awhile.
Soon maybe someday we'll come back and we'll play.
We hope on that day, You'll smile.
Water and sun and sky, no matter how hard we try,
We'll never know what you know, as sailing we go.
But we can keep meeting you,
and hope you help us to
make our boat small into your hand, into a song canoe.
Blow western blow, we'll go where you go
And dance with you for awhile.
Soon maybe someday we'll come back and we'll play.
We hope on that day, You'll smile.
Our boat now has helped us heal
the touch of ... wheel.
Though a far away city lies
Carrying you under skies
Memories of shining waters, swaying trees,
And waking to a power only the soul ever sees.
Sing canoe sing...."
Not sure a got it all right, and missing a few bits, but I would love to hear again that section again too.
