Episode 1 Transatlantic Sessions

The thing about doing it on location is

it's totally quiet,

and it's kind of selfish in a way,

but we get the place to ourselves.

We can really...really concentrate on what we're doing.

We're all living together.

There's no pressure.

Nobody's looking at their watch all the time.

# I'm minutes away

# I'm taking the next train

# Don't know what I was thinking

# I'm bringing flowers

# I'm making it up to you

# Don't know what I was thinking

# I've figured it out

# I need you

# Don't know why I didn't know it then

# I've got it all wrong

# I miss you

# Don't know what I was thinking

# Just going on

# When there's something beginning

# That's when I feel I have to end it

# Oh, but I was a fool

# I was listening to everything

# 'Cept for when my heart was saying

# I've figured it out

# I need you

# Don't know why I didn't know it then

# I got it all wrong

# I miss you

# Don't know what I was thinking

# I know we said it's over

# I know what I want now is you

# Oh, it's you

# Oh, it's you

# I've figured it out

# I need you

# Don't know why I didn't know it then

# I got it all wrong

# Yeah, I miss you

# Don't know what I was thinking

# Don't know what I was thinking

# Don't know what I was thinking. #

# At the east end of town

# At the foot of the hill

# There's a chimney so tall

# It says Aragon Mill

# But there's no smoke at all

# Coming out of its stack

# So it's the mill has shut down

# It's never coming back

# And the only tune I hear

# Is the sound of the wind

# As she blows through the town

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# There's no children playing

# In the dark narrow streets

# Since the mill has shut down

# It's so quiet I can't sleep

# The mill has shut down

# 'Tis the only life I know

# Tell me what will I do

# Where will I go

# And the only tune I hear

# Is the sound of the wind

# As she blows through the town

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# I'm too old to work

# And I'm too young to die

# Tell me where will I go now

# My family and I

# There's no use any more

# For these cotton mills, it seems

# But the sound of the loom

# Still haunts my dreams

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin

# Weave and spin. #

You connect with somebody when you sing.

It's... It's something.

Mary Chapin and I were just talking about the spiritual aspect of communicating together.

There's just a line in that song, the Aragon Mill...

and when we sang together you can actually feel a jolt.

It's a magical thing that just happens,

when you perform with someone.

It's very special.

# My name is Jock Stewart

We're very excited because we're doing a couple of songs that...

-We've actually never tried them before, have we?

-No.

-We've not even performed them live.

-No.

So this is a complete first for us.

And no better crowd to, sort of, er,

you know, introduce them to the world,

-than the people we're with here.

-Mm.

-So we're really excited about that, aren't we?

-Very.

# I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche

# Mmmm...

# Tumbling and falling down the avalanche

# Mmmm...

# So be quiet tonight

# The stars are shining bright

# On this mountain of new-fallen snow

# And I will raise up my voice

# Into the void

# Cos you have left me nowhere to go

# And I love you so much and it's so bizarre

# A memory that goes on and on and on

# This is the best thing

# And the very most hard

# Now we don't get along

# And after countless appeals

# We keep spinning our wheels

# On this mountain of new-fallen snow

# And I will let go of the catch

# And we are over the edge

# You have left me nowhere to go

# Sometimes you make me lose my will to live

# And I just become a beacon for your soul

# The past is stronger than my will to forgive

# Forgive you or myself, I don't know

# I'm riding shotgun down the avalanche

# Mmmm...

# Tumbling and falling down the avalanche

# Mmmm...

# So be quiet tonight

# Be sure to step lightly

# On this mountain of new-fallen snow

# And I will raise up my voice

# Into the void

# Because you have left me nowhere to go

# You have let me nowhere to go

# You have left me nowhere...

# ..to go. #

# You rambling boys of pleasure

# Give ear unto those lines I write

# I own I am a rover

# In rambling I take great delight

# I cast my mind on a handsome girl

# And often times she does me slight

# My mind is never easy

# Except when my true love is in my sight

# Down by yon flow'ry gardens

# Where me and my true love do meet

# I took her in my arms

# And unto her gave kisses sweet

# She bade me take love easy

# Just as the leaves fall from the tree

# But I, being young and foolish

# With my own true love did not agree. #

# In the bright sunny south in peace

# ..and content

# Oh, the days of my boyhood I scarcely have spent

# From deep flowing springs to the broad flowing streams

# Ever dear in my memory, and sweet in my dreams

# I leave my confinement and comfort of life

# For the dangers of bloodshed, provision, and strife

# I've come to conclose and reply with my word

# As I shoulder my musket and billet my sword

# My father looked sad as he begged me to part

# And Mother embraced me with anguish of heart

# And my beautiful sister looked pale in her woe

# As she grabbed me and blessed me and told me to go

# Oh, father, dear father

# For me do not weep

# For on some high mountain

# I mean for to sleep

# And the dangers of war

# I intend for to share

# And for sickness and death

# I intend to prepare

# Oh, mother, dear mother

# For me do not weep

# For a mother's kind words

# I ever will keep

# You taught me to be brave

# From a boy to a man

# I'm going in defence of my own native land

# Oh, sister, dear sister

# I cannot tell the woe

# Oh, your tears and your sorrows

# They trouble me so

# I must be a-going

# For here I cannot stand

# I'm going in defence

# Of my own native land

# I'm going in defence

# Of my own native land

# I'm going in defence of my own native...land. #
