This was one of my favorite pieces to perform at the end of my shows for the senior living and memory care facilities. When you see how I end the song, you'll know why.
"Beyond the Sea" is the English-language version of the French song "La Mer" by Charles Trenet, popularized by Bobby Darin in 1959. While the French original was an ode to the sea, Jack Lawrence – who composed the English lyrics – turned it into a love song
So this is me doing a cover of this song. The video was recorded just a while ago, all the video clips (as well as the OP image above) are all CC imagery from Pixabay dot com
As usual, there are defects in the audio and video, just me running back and forth between computers (in the rain no less)
