Welcome back to Parsons Playlists! Today’s playlist is curated by Music Library student assistant Isaac (class of 2025) and features some seafaring songs.
Songs for your “Sea-D”
I was able to go fishing several times recently, so I decided to do a quick search into seafaring music. This playlist spans across decades and genres, from rock and pop to indie and folk, showcasing the sea’s influence on musical storytelling––and hopefully you’ll add one to your ‘Sea’-D (CD).
Van Morrison – “Into the Mystic”
Looking Glass – “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)”
The Honeydrippers – “Sea of Love”
The Decemberists – “The Mariner’s Revenge Song”
Bobby Darin – “Beyond the Sea”
Florence + the Machine – “Ship to Wreck”
