about
Foolish Sea is the blend of all things associated with Fran’s unique and captivating style. Her pure toned voice and entrancing, soaring melodies lure you in from the very beginning into a quirky tale of unrequited love. George Birkett’s sublime guitar playing and finger picking precision, underpins the song holding its own poetic voice alongside Fran’s spell binding lyrics. The track has been layered with percussion, cello (Rachel Brown) and harmonies that all add to a very jaunty yet pensive and heart felt exploration of the nature of love.
lyrics
Oh foolish sea,
you kissed the beach with your loving waves again
you let them roll one after another,
even though you said you wouldn’t anymore, not like you did before
Just blame it on the moon
blame it on the moon
and the pull of her gravity
oh foolish sea,
will he come back to me?
Oh foolish moon,
you looked so pretty in your silver dress that night
Dancing with all them star’s in that clear dark sky,
you tease, but why?
Just blame it on the Sun
blame it on the Sun
and the pull of her gravity
Oh foolish moon,
Will he be back soon?
Oh foolish sun,
you didn’t even need to shine your rays when he was around
I know what its like to be you,
our natures just the same we’ve got to play this loving game
Just blame it on love
blame it on love
how it can only do what it can do
only say what it can say
only be what it can be
its nature’s part of us you see
Oh foolish sun, he’s not the one
