Swimming upstream

The swimmer querying navigation. Here’s Frank black -the swimmer-

Not too bad audio for live. Here the vocal melody with it’s cathartic resolutions are powerful.

Pelagic is ancient Greece originating word for open sea fish. Choragic: same Greek origin for leader of the choir. Also Triton is a merman. You know, male mermaid?

The swimmer lyrics- Frank black

In the wake of his chariot
You swam toward the latitudes
Leaving forĀ happier times
Florida far behind

Trying your best you were
Ignoring the rescuers
You’d gone so very long
You were so very strong

The scene was so tragic
But that was the magic

Will you never drown?
Will you learn to use
Some forgotten part?
Some forgotten part?

Are you going down
Where the ballyhoos
And the tritons are? You were so incredible
Finding all the edible
Prize of the sea
Prize of the sea

In the wake of his chariot
You swam toward the latitudes
Leaving for happier times
Florida far behind

In division pelagic
You were choragic

Will you never drown?
Will you learn to use
Some forgotten part?
Some forgotten part?

Are you going down
Where the ballyhoos
And the tritons are?
