Real Thing, Yeah!

A Dream To Keep

Beautifully filmed by New Zealand nature photographer Richard Sidey over the past decade throughout the Earth’s polar regions, Speechless – The Polar Realm is a non-verbal visual meditation of light, life, loss and wonder at the ends of the globe.

In search of an individual viewing experience aided by the absence of spoken narrative, Speechless – The Polar Realm guides this cinematic voyage through both powerful imagery of the natural world and a poignant, original score from composer and sound artist, Miriama Young, performed by Mirabai Peart and Ryan Francesconi.

‘Limmer’ is a NE Scottish Doric word which in this context has a double meaning.  In verse one  "I waaked by this restless limmer"  alludes to the widowed fishwife walking beside the 'restless ocean' and her child of wild temperament walking beside her.  

Limmer

The horizon wis lined wi black crayon,
The grey clouds lowerin and grim,
I waaked by this restless limmer
An I thocht o him.

I thocht on the smell o his jersey,
An the shirt I still sleep in at nicht,
I wait for the voice in the glimmer,
Hame-comin in mornin’s caul licht.

__Nae body aside me,
__Nae warmth ava,
__Nae hand at ma breist,
__Jist memories tae ca.

I mind on the smile as he ca’d me his quine,
His touch as his eyes said the rest,
Noo sine that bitch his claimed him
It’s a caul empty warld tae be faced.

Bit rinnin aside me a wee lauchin loon
Maks ma hairt loup wi pride an wi pain,
His voice an his smile fair mak me stoon –
He’s his faither a ower again.

[Edit. Will redo the vocals. Mei-Ian does such a great job in the angelic part of the spectrum. I am all about that bass.]
I was immediately struck when I heard this performance by Mei-Ian. So I wanted to add a little.
