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.
