Remember this song? I maintain that it is not about sailing on the open water at all.
Bear with me…
Take this verse, for instance.
It’s not far to Never Never Land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joyOf innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
It’s not far to Never Never Land
1- According to Wikipedia…
Neverland (also spelled Never Land or expanded as Never Never Land) is a fictional place featured in the works of J. M. Barrie and those based on them. It is the dwelling place of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys and others. Although not all people in Neverland cease to age, its best known resident famously refused to grow up, and it is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism.
The operative word here is “escapism” – as in losing oneself in dreams. …or art.
The canvas can do miracles
2- They don’t use canvas as sails. They use lighter, man made fabrics, like nylon or polyester. They DO however, use canvas for art.
Of course, I could be wrong. 🙂
