I'm just noticing this album has a bit of a nautical theme. It's about a person who is enslaved on a ship out on exploration during the era when Europe began to explore the new world. she - just easier to use a feminine pronoun because it's a girl singing - escapes and washes ashore some where along the Alaskan border (how she doesn't die is a mystery). She gets is taken in by the natives and becomes one of them through marriage. |

It's about a woman reflecting on an event from her childhood. She grew up in a big, wealthy family and they would congregate at the eldest relatives estate on weekends for food and visiting. During one specific weekly visitation the girl becomes board with the adults at the party who are probably talking politics or trying to keep their voices low so when they say something "mature" she won't be able to hear. So she goes off to play. She finds some paper cups lying around - post bbq - and tapes them together into the shape of a boat. She them concocts this little story about pirates - the pirate being blue berries she found while looking for something to be her passengers on the cup-pirate boat that she created - who would be the main characters and sale around the world and do what kids think pirates really do. I don't understand why the guy sings at that part towards the end but i think the rest is pretty accurate. And listen to how the music changes to reflect the different mindsets of each age of the girl; one for while older reflecting on how she remembers herself to have felt when younger, one while bored at the grandparents house, and another for her pirate story (There may even be more that I just completely missed). |
