Apartment Sessions: Iceland - The Whale (Daniel Emond)
"The Whale is the opening song to a concept album/musical I’m writing by the same name, based on my favorite book, “Moby-Dick”. Like the 800-page tome, Iceland has a storied history of whaling; there could be no more fitting a setting for Ishmael’s wandering ballad than Hvalfjordur, Iceland’s Whale Fjord. In the show, Ishmael asks you to picture in your mind’s eye, the last time you were standing on a beach looking out to sea, before we hear the first note. The first breath I took to sing on this particular day was a cold, but happy one." - Daniel Emond
“Icelandic Sailor: I don’t like your floor, maty; it’s too springy to my taste. I’m used to ice-floors. I’m sorry to throw cold water on the subject; but excuse me” -Moby-Dick, chapter 40. Midnight, Forecastle.

I've just had one of the worst days of my life and listening to this makes me smile after a day filled with tears. Thanks, Apartment Sessions.

If I had Daniel's voice I would sing instead of talk! Love it!

So accurate. Those little runs that he does are beautiful.

This song speaks the TRUTH: we *are* in November now.

All the world's an apartment and we are merely musicians

@ethanmcnary9119 5 лет назад

I like to imagine that your plane ride over you guys got everyone on the plane to sing. Scattered across the isles one of you guys gets bored and starts singing. Then everyone else joins in and its incredible... Thats just my imagination though. Thank you for making such incredible music in all of these. It made my week wonderful!

this apartment does not look really well isolated ! :)

@troyherner-brown 5 лет назад

Hey, love this channel, and in my opinion this is one of the best songs you've put out. However, that two minute outro makes it a bit cumbersome to have on any sort of playlist. If it's not too much trouble, could you upload a "radio version" of this video that ends around the 4:22 mark?

@theemeraldruby 5 лет назад

This is incredible :D So Stoked to see this series! :)

@carrolly2k 5 лет назад

This was great. Was it difficult keeping all the instruments in tune, out in the cold?

@Ashley-rp5gt 5 лет назад

probably

@BrunoWiebelt 5 лет назад

was studio sound....

@aaronvockley5448 5 лет назад

There was no studio sound. They're recording that live in the video. Look at all the mics everywhere. Plus, that's kind of their schtick. They record songs in weird locations (mostly tiny apartments).

@BrunoWiebelt 5 лет назад

@@aaronvockley5448 Bravo no wind sounds , really good performance

@GuidoPerdomo 5 лет назад

sounds like the violins were difficult to keep in tune.
