THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER Nostalgic piano memories of bygone era, Piano Cover
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2024
- I learned of this tune through my Mum. I was very fortunate as a child my parents would take me on caravan holidays throughout Europe. We would drive from the North of England to Dover take the ferry to Calais and travel throughout Europe for 3 weeks. Whilst some of the memories are quite distant I still remember as we waited for the ferry my mother would point out the coastline and sing the old Vera Lynn song 'The White Cliffs of Dover'.
This is an iconic song, although some people have commented the words were written by an American lyricist. In particular they point to the line 'there'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of dover' and say that the bluebird is not indigenous to the UK. I would argue that the words give a Disney quality to words that were expressed as a wish and not a reality and the fact that someone from another country saw something in England that was worth fighting for is not something I would argue with. It is a beautiful tune lyrically and melodically. My version is for my mother who died when she was only a year older than what I am now (not telling your how old that is!). I tried to make it sound happy but it's tinged with sadness as she never got to see me get married to my lovely wife in Morrocco and the grand-daughter she would have loved. She had three boys and I was the last - she cried when she saw me but I couldn't have been more loved.

무력無力한 세월
목 타는 천민들 애처로운 욕만欲望이
떠도는 바람소리로 저울질하는 누리
첫닭 우는 능선에 어렴풋이 내리는 별꽃 뿐
가련한 영혼들만 숨 쉬는 하늘
차가운 가슴 달래며
작심한 듯 비추는 달빛 윤색潤色애달픈데
바람이 이끄는 계절 수례는 후미진 내 방에 서성이고
친구님이 이끄는 우정友情 수례는
나를 이곳으로 불렀습니다
볼 때마다 새로운 영상 에 좋아요 좋아요 로 고마움 전하고 갑니다!
소중한 친구님 새로운 한주 도 즐겁게 잘 보내시고

Really beautiful Martyn - when I saw the title in the notification I gave a very loud 'ah' as adore this ballad, like you. Before watching it I wondered how you would treat it, and I was certainly correct in my guesses with some of the imagery - ah yes indeed happy memories of the TT ferries from Dover....always wanted to go on the great Hovercraft...but never did! It is such a beautifully constructed song as you say and lilts and lifts in just the right places. I think the critics re the bluebird always forget that it was a readily recognised metaphor for happiness and freedom and makes perfect sense in that context. I had a feeling you would choose 2 x different moods/tempi, but what a GREAT idea to 'return to roots' for a final burst of nostalgia. Love the write up as well - makes it even more poignant. Lovely stuff - all the best - Gareth😃
Yes it's amazing how much we have in common as although I despartely wanted to I never got to go on Hovercraft either as my Dad would always say 'maybe next time'
I did get to play the piano on cross channel ferries although not from Dover but from Harwich, Portsmouth and Plymouth and would always play this tune as we left harbour.
There's one anecdote I missed out of my description is one of our routes was from Plymouth to Santander in Spain and was notoriously choppy and I remember playing the piano with one hand and pulling it back with the other as it rolled with the waves (it wasn't tied down). Didn't bother me in my youth but now I shiver when I think of it.
All the best... Martyn :)
This is very warm music!
The memories I have with your mother are also wonderful✨✨I will support you! 😊

Martyn, this is wonderful and such a beautiful tribute to your Mum. I teared up while reading your description. Touching share🎶🎶!
Thanks Kat. Didn't mean to make you cry! Sometimes songs move me to tears, that one in particular. I forgot to mention in my description that the boat trip was always my favourite part of our holidays and how many years later I got several contracts as a pianist on the cross channel ferries, not Dover but other English ports but I would always play this tune as we left harbour. My parents came onboard to support me and I got to take my Dad to the bridge to meet the captain. He was very impressed.
Thanks for listening Kat. Best Wishes.... Martyn :)

I envy you that you traveled from the north of England to Dover by car and ferry to Calais and traveled across Europe for three weeks. And while I was listening to this song, I had seen an American movie called 'The White Cliffs of Dover' and I wanted to see it again. However, there was no problem with my computer, but the volume of the piano playing sound was so low that it was difficult to appreciate it in detail.
Thanks for listening and for your comment. Sorry if the volume was a little low. Best wishes... Marty :)
@@martycli9299 My friend martycli, thank you for your reply, it was a great video and great sound!
Marvellous, nostalgic performance - the suspended strings are a nice touch! The white cliffs are a drive about a half hour or so from where I live in Kent 🙂
Thanks Jean-Jacques thats nice to know. I live in the North of England and it's about a day and a half's drive for me - 6 hours for anyone else but I'm getting slow in my old age! I kind of like these old nostalgic tunes that make you shed a tear and smile at the same time. Thanks very much for listening. Best Wishes..... Marty :)
