Farewell to Old Kelowna - echlyrica - 03-24-2023 Well, I saw that Hammer was leaving Kelowna as a player, and it inspired me to rework the folk song "Farewell to Nova Scotia" as a goodbye for any Kelowna Knight who graduates to the SHL. This may be the first in a series of folk song re-writes to build the culture of Kelowna, whether they be as fan chants/songs, or team traditions, etc. I feel like for a team based on Medieval Knights, folk style music is a good fit, and as a folk nerd myself, I love re-writing old sings, since that's like 78% of our genre. So, without further ado: "Farewell To Old Kelowna" The sun was setting in the west The birds were singing on every tree All nature seemed inclined for rest But still there was no rest for me Farewell to Old Kelowna, the Lake bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I'm far away in the frozen old barn tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me I grieve to leave my native land I grieve to leave my comrades all And my aging parents whom I've always hold so dear And the bonny, bonny lass that I do adore Farewell to Old Kelowna, the lake bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I'm far away in the frozen old barn tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me The drums they do beat and the fights do alarm The captain calls, we must obey So farewell, farewell to Old Kelowna's charms For it's early in the morning I am far, far away Farewell to Old Kelowna, the lake bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I'm far away in the frozen old barn tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me I have one round table and they are the best Their pucks are frozen in the west But a poor simple skater just like me Must be tossed and driven in the old barn, see? Farewell to Old Kelowna the lake bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I'm far away on the frozen ol' barn tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me Farewell to Old Kelowna, the lake bound coast Let your mountains dark and dreary be For when I'm far away in the frozen old barn tossed Will you ever heave a sigh or a wish for me RE: Farewell to Old Kelowna - spidey - 03-24-2023 Love this!

RE: Farewell to Old Kelowna - MikeLiut - 03-24-2023 I love that, especially since you made it for someone you never played with. You're a great addition to our Knights family. |
