Blind Faith – Sea of Joy Lyrics 13 years ago
I heard a story once that there was, at one of the slave departure points in Africa, a concrete tunnel that slaves were sent down, blindly and being tricked, which led to the slave ships. Hard to make out coherent meaning on this song (like so many songs...) but in the end fade out of the song Winwood sings "set them free". Makes me wonder if it was about the slave ships sailing on a (trickfully named) Sea of Joy. Aside from the intriguing lyrics, I just love the emotion and tempo of the whole thing, a favorite on a favorite album.
