The band Tamarack has nearly always been a 3 piece and every now and again you'll find a really cool a capella song on one of their CD's...Frobisher Bay is one that first leaps to mind... A lovely little song about freezing to death on a whaling ship...
Frobisher Bay
Cold is the arctic sea
Far are your arms from me
Long will this winter be
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
"One more whale," our captain cried
"One more whale and well beat the ice."
But the winter star was in the sky
The sea's were rough the winds were high
Cold is the arctic sea
Far are your arms from me
Long will this winter be
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Deep were the crashing waves
That tore our whalers mast away
Dark are these sunless days
Waiting for the ice to break
Cold is the arctic sea
Far are your arms from me
Long will this winter be
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Strange is a whaler's fate
To be saved from the raging waves
Only to waste away
Frozen in this lonely grave
Cold is the arctic sea
Far are your arms from me
Long will this winter be
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
Frozen in Frobisher Bay
