ANTARCTIC by Mac Lauren (undated)

(Web site download only) Mac Lauren, from Hobart, Tasmania is an Australian singer-songwriter who has travelled his native land, designed and built green power units and been an electrical contractor.  He overwintered in Antarctica and produced three songs from his experiences for his web site.  Peace of Mind is a relaxing guitar/harmonica instrumental.  The other two tracks are sung in a husky baritone and are very expressive of the strong emotions of beauty and longing brought out by The Ice.  Lyrics to Antarctic: “And the beauty of it all becomes clear, as we draw near.  South of here there’s an ocean as wide as any known.  Grey mountains marching endlessly, the albatross above surfs the air, fortune we share.  Antarctic, the beauty of silence, land of the storm.  Lift off the deck into a perfect sky, perfect sky.  Once around the ship and we’re climbing high.  Around the horizon cathedrals float in a frozen sea.  I recall her icy breath over me.  Antarctic, the beauty of silence, land of the storm.  Antarctic, the beauty of silence, land of the storm.” Lyrics to Return to Australia: : “Where have you been, long lost son?  Finally, spring has come.  Stretch the days.  Draw the life, back to this land, this land of ice.  Why does a world so cold, bring fire to the soul?  This line on the map in the mess, reading daily, sailing south southwest.  Moving an inch a day, slowly and surely coming our way.  Red ship is in the bay.  Stand by to R.T.A.  I’ll never leave you cold.  I’ll warm your heart and soul.  I’m tired of loving over the phone.  I’m meant to hold you.  I’m coming home.  Red ship is in the bay.  I’m on for R.T.A.  I’ll never leave you cold.  I’ll warm your heart and soul, your heart and soul.  Red ship is in the bay.  Stand by to R.T.A.  We’re coming home.”  www.maclaurenmusic.com
