Beyond The Sea
Rod Stewart · Fly Me To The Moon...The Great American Songbook Volume V [2010]
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sand
And watches the ships that go sailing.
Somewhere beyond the sea
She's there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Fell straight to her arms I'd go sailing.
It's far beyond the stars
It's near beyond the moon
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will leave me there soon, yeah.
We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore
We'll kiss just as before
Happy we'll be beyond the sea
And never again I'll go sailing
And never again I'll go sailing
My heart will leave me
Beyond the sea ...
Beyond The Sea
Rod Stewart's rendition of 'Beyond The Sea' captures the timeless elegance of the Great American Songbook while infusing it with his signature rock-and-roll swagger. Originally a 1956 hit for Tom Jones, this recording appears on Stewart's 2010 album 'Fly Me To The Moon...The Great American Songbook Volume V,' showcasing his commitment to interpreting classic standards with contemporary flair. The track exemplifies Stewart's ability to blend vocal warmth with rhythmic drive, transforming a mid-century pop classic into a vehicle for his mature artistry. By revisiting such enduring compositions, Stewart not only pays homage to the genre's history but also demonstrates his versatility as a performer who bridges the gap between traditional balladry and his broader musical catalog. This version stands as a testament to his ongoing engagement with the repertoire that defined an era, delivered with the charisma that has made him a global icon.
