Yes your right! I grew up in Newfoundland as this was happening. Every time i go home my uncle who is a fisherman ask's me to sing this song.I honor his request and sing it for him and every time i do i see tear's trickle down his face as he remembers what he has lost! It breaks my heart to see him like this,but i try to cheer him up.
Good lyrics and voice. Well sung. That being said, very few people outside of Atlantic Canada are aware of the politics that our governments used the with other regions in the world that traded our fish stocks off for industrial trade deals in Central Canada and the prairies.
If I were religious I would say that this is the most beautiful voice that God made.

This song rips my heart out. I lost my father in 91 and the fishery in 92.
Brings tears to my eyes.
I am a proud Newfoundlander and I live in Ottawa for the last 30 years but this song by Darcy nearly brings me to tears
As a proud Newfoundlander, I lived through this era, it hurt but couldn't kill our spirit
With Darcy's silky voice,this one makes me well up every time
love this song,i love newfoundland and irish music
This is the finest music I have ever listen to.
One of the best, if not THE best voices in NL!!
Yes I agree wholeheartedly a soothing voice that gentleman has take care
I'd love to hear you sing "Belfast Mill" by Finbar Furey (and others).The original title was "Oregon Mill".
