lyrics

You are the wind in my sail.
You are calm water and gale.

White hills turn green
And green leaves turn brown.
Now I wear black, once had a white gown.

So I am told it’s best for me
to leave the past and move on,
‘cause memory is just a trick
to make us cling to what’s gone,
what’s gone.

But I have only the one ship,
and one wind to call my friend,
and every turn I’ve taken,
I’ve only found myself again.

You are the wind in my sail.
You are calm water and gale.

White hills turn green
And green leaves turn brown.
Now I wear black, once had a white gown.

So I am told it’s best for me
to leave the past and move on,
‘cause memory is just a trick
to make us cling to what’s gone,
what’s gone.

But I have only the one ship,
and one wind to call my friend,
and every turn I’ve taken,
I’ve only found myself again.

You are the wind in my sail.
Never can I know
Where next my ship means to go.
But I’m yours in calm sea and gale.

New Me!

Light, easy and fun. The album blub suggest this and the music certainly feels like it, but New Me really does feel like an artist turning a leaf and I really like it. Plus, as a pianist providing sheet music is S+ work, amazing! CyanStrawberry

J.S. Bach: "Open" Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (Piano)
by Kimiko Ishizaka

supported by 17 fans who also own “Wind in My Sail”

There are many J.S. Bach pieces I've heard and enjoyed throughout my life, but it was especially Glenn Gould and his box set who made me fall in love and inspired me to take a deep dive and explore Bach's catalogue a few years ago. Then my music focus shifted for a while, but this interpretation just reignited my obsession again. I love this project, the included booklet and score as well! I'm late to join, but look forward to listening to the other and any future releases :) Gerrit
