The Trawlerman's Song by Mark Knopfler. For David. To a boy who's 47! How about that. Most Birthday cards have boats and this is no exception. A lot of cards don't however have old men smoking and so this is a bit different and also there is no $5 note. Nice of Bob Franklin to "photo bomb" the clip near the end...not intentional on my part. I think it's a song about life...I had never heard it before. Time in dock isn't always long enough. Have to be ready even though you are not ready. Plenty of rocks and dark nights. One lighthouse. Jesus, The Light of the World. "The Trawlerman"Song"...no one on the internet knows what the exact meaning is behind the lyrics. Perhaps the man is trawling for small treasures in his everyday life with his broken nets and worn out leaking boat. Grasping for the simple things, tiny things and like a little fellow thinking his pebble is the best treasure he has ever found before he puts it on his bedhead. Now I have spoilt the song probably by my cold analysis but trying to marry pictures with lyrics is part of clip making and after listening to the song well over 80 times in the creating of the clip I suppose I am able to have a stab...but maybe Mark Knopfler just likes fishing? Oh Gerry you are terrible!
Anyway better go. Sale of the Century is starting and my meat pie is getting cold. I like a nice meat pie. Enyoy! Hoping you don't have to go swimming lessons today. x
P.S. Have a great day too!
Break out the columbines at aunty ina's. Tony we are rolling into another birthday. David how many sausages can you eat? Mmm anything you need? Here's hoping I haven't stuffed up the song too much by creating images that don't fit with your own interpretation. Get yourself a kebab or something nice hey. x
