mare schreibt dazu:
»Der in Hamburg lebende Schweizer Zeichner Pascal Cloëtta illustrierte für mare das Lied Fisherman's Son von Port O'Brien. Die vierköpfige US-Band um den Gründer Van Pierszalowski und seine Lebensgefährtin Cambria Goodwin versammelte auf ihrem Album AII We Could Do Was Sing aus dem Jahr 2005 dieses Nachdenken über den Zwiespalt eines Fischersohns im Informationszeitalter und andere Songs, die von den Spezialitaten eines Lebens als Fischer in Alaska erzählen. Pierszalowski weiß, wovon er singt. Acht Monate im Jahr geht er auf dem Trawler seines Vaters dem deadliestjob nach. In der übrigen Zeit spielt er mit Port O'Brien intelligenten Folk-Rock, den Kritiker wegen seiner Eigenwilligkeit etwas ratios Freak-lndie-Folk oder Post-Weird-Rock nennen.«
Lyrics:
I’m doing fine in Alaska // I don’t mind the storms // When all the wind contorts me // Let the diesel engine roar // But I don’t know why I came here // Was it because I was born this way? // Or have I just learned to accept it? // Like I do every other day

Oh whatever is the cause // I will find another job // And I will stay until I’m far away // This is not what I’m here for // I was made to live indoors // And I will weather out this storm from them

But I hear it screaming loud // Over everything somehow // Saying, “Hey boy. Listen up. You’re a liar.” // And you are a fisherman’s son // And that is what you’ll become // You are a fisherman’s son // That is what you’ll become

I’m doing fine in the city // I don’t miss the stars // And I have all my needs here with me // And I don’t adventure far // And I’m doing okay for a young man // I’ve got a place to stay

But I don’t go out come night time // No matter what my friends here say // All the while I am here // I’ll have some liquor and some beer //
And I’ll wait for another year to come // And I will fall into the pack // With the devil on my back // And I will take another crack at this

Oh but I could never win // No, my blood is just too thin // And my eyes, all they crave is affection // Cause I am a fisherman’s son // That is what I’ll become // I am a fisherman’s son // That is what I’ll become

// // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // //
