Описание: The Port Quin Fishing Disaster, from the album The Orchestra of Stories, out now. https://tomhickox.lnk.to/theorchestra...

The Port Quin Fishing Disaster tells the story of a little known 19th century maritime tragedy, when an entire Cornish village of fishermen were killed out to sea in a single storm. Featuring the beautiful strings of the ‪@ChinekeFoundation‬ and the mournful longing of ‪@onyxbrass‬, the video is a single shot, captured on location in Port Quin.

Lyrics:

They left the candles burning
in their windows through the night.
They cursed the scarlet dawn
as the hours were turning by.

There were beds half empty
and empty chairs,
and fish were plenty
but there were no men to catch them.

There were no more fishermen in Port Quin
There were no more fishermen in Port Quin
They left the candles burning

And they left to survive
because at home there was no life.
They were taken in by the people of Port Isaac
and given all they needed,
they left the candles burning.

There were beds half empty
and empty chairs,
and fish were plenty
but there were no men to catch them.

There were no more fishermen in Port Quin
There were no more fishermen in Port Quin
They left the candles burning
