0:00:19 > 0:00:22My father is a singer and an accordion player.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24My grandfather was an accordion player.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26My uncle is an accordion player. That's why I picked guitar.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00# In this fading light the mainland
0:01:01 > 0:01:07# Lies vague out on the horizon
0:01:08 > 0:01:14# A lighthouse beaming its welcome
0:01:14 > 0:01:20# To Gross Isle and liberty's sweet shore
0:01:21 > 0:01:27# We sail on the fifth day of September
0:01:28 > 0:01:34# 200 poor souls crammed together
0:01:35 > 0:01:38# From our families and homelands
0:01:38 > 0:01:42# We're severed
0:01:42 > 0:01:49# The clothes on our backs all we own
0:01:49 > 0:01:55# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:01:56 > 0:02:03# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:02:03 > 0:02:06# We left all we know
0:02:06 > 0:02:10# To this new life we'll go
0:02:10 > 0:02:16# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:02:18 > 0:02:25# Two pounds a head for the passage
0:02:25 > 0:02:30# With ease our landlord surrendered
0:02:31 > 0:02:39# And wiped his hands clean as he tendered
0:02:39 > 0:02:40# From a distance
0:02:40 > 0:02:44# Well, he watched us all go
0:02:46 > 0:02:51# Three months and a day we've been sailing
0:02:51 > 0:02:59# Round pinnacles of ice we've been steering
0:02:59 > 0:03:06# Squalls and nor'easters a-raging
0:03:06 > 0:03:13# To deliver us to liberty's sweet shore
0:03:13 > 0:03:19# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:03:21 > 0:03:28# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:03:28 > 0:03:30# We left all we know
0:03:30 > 0:03:35# To this new life we'll go
0:03:35 > 0:03:41# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:04:06 > 0:04:12# We're bowed down in sickness and in hunger
0:04:13 > 0:04:19# And we pray for the hand of the maker
0:04:20 > 0:04:27# But my child was lost to a fever
0:04:27 > 0:04:34# A quick prayer then hauled overboard
0:04:35 > 0:04:42# Oceans of tears they are falling
0:04:42 > 0:04:48# In hope and despair both recalling
0:04:48 > 0:04:55# Now the gulls of St Lawrence they are calling
0:04:55 > 0:05:03# Soon Quebec and liberty's sweet shore
0:05:03 > 0:05:09# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:05:10 > 0:05:16# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore
0:05:16 > 0:05:19# We left all we know
0:05:19 > 0:05:24# To this new life we'll go
0:05:24 > 0:05:30# Sailing to liberty's sweet shore

0:10:18 > 0:10:19MUSIC PLAYS
0:10:19 > 0:10:23I've been here for a week and probably done five songs a day,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25five tunes a day.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28To be honest, I can't remember what we did on the first day!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06It's a real joy to play my own songs,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and kind of hear them unfold, and hear them, you know,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12being layered up with all these other great musicians
0:15:12 > 0:15:17and great instruments and things, so the whole thing's really nice.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42# On a still night under darkness men fastened their boots
0:15:42 > 0:15:47# Their headtorches flickered, their tobacco smoke rose
0:15:47 > 0:15:51# With the cogs and wheels whirring they were lowered below
0:15:51 > 0:15:54# As they whistled the Esperanza
0:15:54 > 0:15:59# In the hot dusty air, their picks and drills flew
0:15:59 > 0:16:02# With the passing of hours the specks of gold grew
0:16:02 > 0:16:06# Till a deafening roar shook the hill with a blow
0:16:06 > 0:16:09# And snuffed out their Esperanza
0:16:10 > 0:16:14# As the dust fell and settled, the silence gave way
0:16:14 > 0:16:18# To the miners who lay there untouched and unscathed
0:16:18 > 0:16:22# But where the rubble had fallen it blocked their retreat
0:16:22 > 0:16:26# Their hopes were now with San Lorenzo
0:16:35 > 0:16:39# Up above shrill alarm bells greeted the dawn
0:16:39 > 0:16:43# From their posts men scattered their radios drawn
0:16:43 > 0:16:47# From the mine the news travelled to the families at home
0:16:47 > 0:16:50# To the nation and echoed beyond
0:16:51 > 0:16:55# Before long the rescue was planned and in place
0:16:55 > 0:16:59# There were drillers from Texas brought to join the race
0:16:59 > 0:17:03# But with 600 metres of solid rock in their way
0:17:03 > 0:17:07# Their faces were grim but determined
0:17:12 > 0:17:16# From the length of the country and the hills they soon came
0:17:16 > 0:17:20# On the sands families gathered to wait and pray for their men
0:17:20 > 0:17:24# They pitched up their tents there in the hot stinging sun
0:17:24 > 0:17:27# And they named it Camp Esperanza
0:17:28 > 0:17:32# For the nine weeks that they waited nerves and tempers were frayed
0:17:32 > 0:17:36# But a school for the children and shrines for the miners were made
0:17:36 > 0:17:40# There were feuds, there was marriage and a baby was born
0:17:40 > 0:17:44# All under Camp Esperanza
0:17:49 > 0:17:53# The men crouched below in the heat and the dark
0:17:53 > 0:17:57# Surviving on rations lowered down the mine shaft
0:17:57 > 0:18:01# They appointed a doctor and a cook from their ranks
0:18:01 > 0:18:04# And swore that they'd struggle through together
0:18:23 > 0:18:26# After six days of drilling, they finally struck through
0:18:26 > 0:18:31# To the cavern where the miners' joy greeted the view
0:18:31 > 0:18:35# The tunnel was carved and the line was cast down
0:18:35 > 0:18:38# To where the dust and the tears now ran together
0:18:38 > 0:18:43# The weak were the first on the journey above
0:18:43 > 0:18:48# Entombed and twisting from the pull and the shove
0:18:48 > 0:18:51# They rose from the earth on a woven line of steel
0:18:51 > 0:18:55# To the strains of the band's Esperanza
0:18:57 > 0:19:01# One by one, each miner emerged into the sun
0:19:01 > 0:19:06# To the 33 families who stood to welcome their men
0:19:06 > 0:19:10# Amidst the sand and the rubble, the crowds gathered and cheered
0:19:10 > 0:19:14# And sang for their newly knighted heroes
0:19:25 > 0:19:31# A mother held her son in a careful embrace
0:19:31 > 0:19:36# A young girl looked on, the warm sun framing her face
0:19:36 > 0:19:39# As he lifted her up she whispered, "Daddy, promise me
0:19:39 > 0:19:42# "Your days underground are done"
0:19:43 > 0:19:47# On the San Jose mine the sun shone, the wind blew
0:19:47 > 0:19:51# In the way that it had since 1892
0:19:51 > 0:19:55# Still in danger men toil, traded for gold
0:19:55 > 0:19:58# Still the harsh winds there scatter the topsoil
0:20:07 > 0:20:12# On a still night under darkness, men fastened their boots
0:20:12 > 0:20:17# Their headtorches flickered, their tobacco smoke rose
0:20:17 > 0:20:20# With the cogs and wheels whirring they were lowered below
0:20:20 > 0:20:24# As they whistled the Esperanza
0:20:25 > 0:20:29# As they whistled the Esperanza. #
