Friday is for the Doe-See-Doe!

Ah, not much blogging this week, and now it's time for a little Friday Doe-See-Doe. The Waifs are a fine Australian acoustic string band . . . no, I mean they're really really fine! This song is not only quite beautiful and moving, it tells the story of a piece of Aussie history. Quite amazing songwriting, not to mention singing, picking, the works!

This is the story of the starry nights
through desert plains and city lights
through burning sun and driving rain
she wept aboard the bridal train

from west to east the young girls came
all aboard the bridal train
it was a farewell crossing overland
she's gone to meet her sailor man

That my friend, is what musical story-telling is all about!

Now here's another:

Give me sun give dirt give me water
give me sweet everlasting love

What did I tell you? these guys are good! Now if I could only find some worship music that sounds like this!
