Amazing Songs & Other Delights #101 – Oceanic edition by Raquel Pinheiro Monday 19&26 on Yé Yé Radio

Penelope and the Ducks – Underwater Woman: Swimming In The Sea

My Amazing Songs & Other Delights #101 – Oceanic edition is broadcasted Monday 19 & 26 October, 3-4pm (London time) on Yé Yé Radio: yeyeradio.com to (or on the app).

I return to ocean swimming late May and have kept it, including going to the ocean at night. At night, usually, given the conditions to walk along the shoreline, but, sometimes the water is good enough for a nightswim.

As R.E.M.’s song say that appears in the programme says “Nightswimming deserves a quiet night, deserves a quiet night”.

Preceding R.E.M. are Queens of The Stone Age with I Sat By The Ocean.
Underwater Songs are Luís Figueiredo & Manuel Rocha, a voice and piano duo that is releasing their second album Underwater Songs Vol. 2 in November.

There’s Sétimo Legião with Sete Mares, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ The Ship Song, Charles Trenet with La mer.

The Who bring Sea And Sand from Quadrophenia, The Velvet Underground, arrive with Ocean,
The Shins walk with Sea Legs,
Van Morrison’s Into The Mystic brings an otherworldly dimension.

Amalia Rodrigues singing Canção do Mar, and Chico Buarque with Mar e Lua bring deep emotion and longing.

Bernard Butler appears twice. The Sea (Edit), a b-side from Stay, a single from his debut album People Moved On, and Camber Sands from his third album Good Grief.

The closing is for the Beatles with the joyous Octopus’ Garden.

The Grandeur of Ghosts by Siegfried Sassoon

When I have heard small talk about great men
I light my two candles; climb to bed; then
Consider what was said; and put aside
What Such-a-one remarked, and Someone-else replied.

They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends,
(Lamps for my gloom, hands guiding where I stumble,)
Quoting, for shallow conversational ends,
What Shelley shrilled, what Blake once wildly muttered…

How can they use such names and be not humble ?
I have sat silent; angry at what they uttered.
The dead bequeathed them life; the dead have said
What these can only memorise and mumble.

Amazing Songs & Other Delights #64 – The Grandeur of Ghosts edition by Raquel Pinheiro @ Rádio Yé Yé, Monday 22nd

The Grandeur of Ghosts is the name of a poem by Sigfried Sassoon, one of World War One (WWI) poets. As WWI continue, Siegfried start to see it as conflict prolonged by those in power who had no regard for everyone else, soldiers or civilians. A reality that has been repeated before and since.My country, Portugal, was a dictatorship from 1928 to April 25 1974. This year 50 years of democracy are celebrated. During the dictatorship Portugal was engaged in a Colonial war from 1961 to 1974. Many young men, my dad included were sent to it. Many men, my dad included, would leave the war and go to exile, only being allowed to return a few years after the end of the dictatorship.The songs and poems on this programme are from various countries, in different languages, addressing different wars or connected to the coup d’etat that ended Estado Novo, the Portuguese dictatorship.E Depois do Adeus that had won Festival da Canção in 1974 had no censurable lyrics and was the first signal for the troops to know it was ok to star move towards Lisboa and depose the regimen. It was played at 22:25 hours on April 24 on Emissores Associados de Lisboa. Grândola Vila Morena, the second signal, greenlighting the go ahead was played at 00:20 hours on Rádio Renascença. Red carnations are the symbol of 25 de Abril commonly called A Revolução dos Cravos (The Carnations Revolution).
