"This ship is taking me far away"

WHAT ELSE !!

[MiamiCunarder]

 
  This majestic 15-16 minute tune always brings me back to QE2, to my first voyage on her, where I heard it being played in the center of The Lido off a CD player sitting on a table. All this as I waltzed around the ship, getting to know her. It also sounds like the perfect tune you would expect to have heard from the Bridge Cam channel in your stateroom.

As someone else also pointed out, Coldplay's Viva la Vida also makes me think of her, probably due to a YouTube video that was produced of her departure from So'ton last November.  The song gives me chills from time to time whenever I catch it.

Heart did sail on the QE2.  I keep thinking whether they did perform that song onboard her.

I  thought that song perfectly fit the day.  I had it loaded on my iPod for the trip too.  Everytime I hear it, it takes me right back.  Using the shuffle feature on the iPod can surely catch you off guard.

I especially like this version of "Time to Say Goodbye", performed by Chris Botti and the Boston Pops.  I took the CD version of this out of the Library last weekend and when this song came on, it really affected me.  Perhaps it is because I used to play trumpet, but never that good, but the trumpet is haunting here. 

Now, also on this same CD, is another song that instantly reminds me of QE2, "Under my Skin" originally by Frank Sinatra, but this version is especially nice.  I could have written this after my first time onboard and it brings back visions of wearing that tux on those magical nights on QE2.

This is a great song that reminds me of QE2. I cant find the original version without the female duet part.

But its Josh Groban singing OCEANO. Its best heard off a CD.

I originally heard this attached to a video about the Norway, a 60s liner that has been scrapped.

Do you have a cd name or link to this song?  sounds just what I'm looking for...

[RMS Queen Elizabeth 2]

Caledonia by Dougie McLean.

I put some video of QE2 on the Clyde during her 2007 birthday round UK - felt right at the time and given what happened a year later - even more so!!

Can we post video to this forum? I've got it down to a reasonable file size!
