RE: My version of traditional Latvian Folk Ballad about people lost at sea: "Jūrā gāju naudas gūti" Music Video and story behind the song

in Music2 years ago

Firstly, WOW you are incredibly talented! The video perfectly accompanies the haunting beauty of your voice... thank you for sharing the backstory of the song as well! I like the idea that there are multiple mother natures, truly it would explain so much! It makes me think of how as mothers, sometimes the best course of action is to teach your kids a lesson- all that can take at times is leaving them to their own devices! Ah the fates of a sea adventurer :)

Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, there are like 60 mātes, snd they are often mentioned in the old songs. I an Spanish but I love mythology and folklore
I also make my own original music but I have s weak spot for traditionals and record some them some in between my own releases
Yes, my father (rip) was captain of a fishing boat so I know all too well what is a storm in the unruly sea
