Camel - The Hour Candle (A Song For My Father)

Live you could see his emotions, often during the final part of the solo tears in his eyes as he honoured his father. Love you Andy

Camel – Harbour Of Tears – From Wikipedia– – – Harbour of Tears is the twelfth studio album and a concept album by English progressive rock band Camel. It tells the story of an Irish family who are painfully separated as their young ones depart to the United States to seek a better future. Released in 1996, it was their twelfth studio album. Title and lyrics Band vocalist and guitarist Andrew Latimer learned that the last sight of Ireland his grandmother's family would have seen was Cóbh Harbour, a deep-water port that witnessed the fracturing of thousands of families as their sons and daughters departed towards America. Thus the album was titled as the common alias of the port, 'Harbour of Tears'. Track listing No. Title Writer(s) Length 1. "Irish Air (Traditional Gaelic)" Andy Latimer, Susan Hoover 0:57 2.

This was one of my dad’s favorite tunes from Camel. We loved Latimer’s prowess on the guitar so much.

No one shows as much feeling as Andy Latimer

This has the intensity and the poignancy of “Ice”. So emotional... One of my all-time favourite Camel tunes.❤

So thankful that the algorithm lead me to the discovery of 🐫 back in 23. The oddest thing about it was I was searching for a "lesser" band when lo and behold they popped up on my recommendations

Love Camel❤. Andy is a great guitar player🎉

Masterpiece❤

Just beautiful ❤❤
