Bonnie "Prince" Billy sings "Black Captain (For Peter Willcox)." Willcox, the Greenpeace Arctic 30 ship captain currently charged with piracy and "hooliganism" for his role in a peaceful protest again an oil rig in the Russian Arctic, was granted bail last week after two months in "pre-trial detention" in Murmansk and St. Petersburg, Russia. He still has not been allowed to leave Russia to see his wife and two daughters, and there is no date set for his trial.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy is the stage name of Will Oldham, "one of the country's most celebrated singer-songwriters." (www.newyorker.c...)
Peter Willcox grew up on the water in South Norwalk, Connecticut. He started sailing for the environment in 1973 on the Clearwater, the boat started by folksinger Pete Seeger. Willcox has been involved in Greenpeace for over 30 years, and he has skippered Greenpeace ships since 1981. He was the captain on the first Rainbow Warrior that was bombed in New Zealand by the French secret service in 1985.
Oldham revised "Black Captain" from the original. This version ends:
"When he'd disappeared into hazard I'd feared
I was now meant to sail on my own
There is a place on the open sea
You will say it is like any other
It has an air of importance to me
As it waits for the hull of my brother
It had been my thought that the power he got
Couldn't be there without what I gave him
And now I find a good part of my mind
Will be worthless unless I help save him
He ain't here ain't here
I can't handle this lack
And now
I
Want my captain back"

I love this song the black cab sessions version is astonishing.
+Arthur palarata Yeah! The Black Cab version is friggin amazing!
Thanks for your wonderful song and tribute to this good man. You were recommended to me by a dear friend in Greenpeace, ...and yes, you are indeed a prince.
Its my favorite song of yours. I said farewell to some of my captains. May be all of them. I wont put up with anyone taking them to task
This should have a lot more views than it does. Awesome.
Anyone know... is this standard tuning/chords?
would love to cover
it does not sound standard to me
Richard Durocher The chord shapes of E A and D suggest its standard chords but the tuning sounds like Dropped D perhaps. If I get time I will work it out .
It's standard. A/d/a/e is the verse and he adds a couple others in the turn arounds
@@sermcdonald it’s D-Standard tuning, mostly A, D, and E - with G and C#m used in appropriate places
does anybody recognize what's the guitar?
Martin-0015 I believe.
Anyone work out what that says on the headstock?
it seems to spell "nass el ghiwane" in arabic.. a moroccan band.
Nice one Bonnie, Fjallraven winter Greenland Jacket!!
Moi ben Bonifacio.
