Nighttime on Still Waters
by Richard Goode
November 4, 2024 1:00 am
A narrowboat-based audio journal on canal life, living aboard, the elements, and the night. Perfect late-night listening for dreamers, insomniacs, night owls, nocturnalists, drifters, and nomads. For lovers Fagen’s ‘Nightfly’, Auden’s ‘Night Mail’, Hopper’s ‘Nighthawks’ and the ‘drifting sea-dark streets’ of Dylan Thomas. For all those who used to listen to the transistor under your pillow, love the sound of distant trains and rain against the windowpanes, canals and drover’s tracks, lost music, splashed puddles, fireflies and bats, hares by moonlight, windsong among pines, owl-light, the shipping forecast, and all the wonderful, terrifying, grand and tawdry avenues of the night. Cosy listening for bedtimes.
