| 释义 |
"Sleepy Seas" was a hit song which was first published 1920 by Private Reginald Stoneham while he managed the Melola Salon music store.[1] It was an instant popular success with dance halls.[2] The following year sales expanded to other music publishers.[3] This vocal waltz was used to accompany silent movies, in the era before talkies.[4][5] Australian audiences found the song lifted their spirits in times of crisis[6] and "Sleepy Seas" achieved astonishing sales.[7] By 1928 it was universally known across Australia[8][9][10] and enjoyed some global success.[11] The song was frequently revived in musical theatre and variety entertainment, more than ten years after publication.[12][13] The romantic overtones perhaps reflected gender relations in War-time Australia.[14] It was sometimes performed in Islander style with ukulele and grass skirt.[15][16] Fortunately, the song escaped the scandals of producer Jack De Garis.[17] Stoneham founded his own music publishing business and sold copies alongside those of fellow Australian composers. Australia sighed with relief in 1950, as a copy of the music became the singular clue that solved a murder investigation.[18] The song was erroneously attributed to famous Australian pop successor Jack O'Hagan.[19] Indeed some felt the song was an emblem of Australia.[20][21][22] Recordings

Lyrics{{quote|While the wind sang a melody tender, as it sways through the palms by the shore, there she drooped in my arms, with her smiles and her charms that I'll worship forever more. Her lips are like the heart of a rose bud, and their sweetness is waiting for me. Though now far away I'll go back some day, To a bride who waits beside, the sleepy sea.[56] References1. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article242421865 |title=Advertising |newspaper=The Herald |issue=14,149 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=20 July 1921 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=10 |via=National Library of Australia}} 2. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article165764635 |title=Palais de Danse |newspaper=Geelong Advertiser |issue=23,112 |location=Victoria, Australia |date=22 June 1921 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article190730045 |title=The Communist Experiment |newspaper=Tweed Daily |volume=IX |issue=3 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=4 January 1922 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=4 |via=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article65032351 |title='Pay Day' at West's |newspaper=The Register (Adelaide) |volume=LXXXVIII |issue=25,800 |location=South Australia |date=5 September 1923 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=12 |via=National Library of Australia}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article128208953 |title=Jackie Coogan Stars as My Boy |newspaper=Sunday Times |issue=1907 |location=New South Wales, Australia |date=13 August 1922 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=3 |via=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article220656337 |title='Sleepy Seas' |newspaper=The Daily Mail |issue=7600 |location=Queensland, Australia |date=9 July 1926 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=7 |via=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article34690805 |title=Rollicking Marching Song |newspaper=The Advertiser |location=South Australia |date=26 July 1932 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=9 |via=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article51496177 |title=Come to Tasmania |newspaper=The Examiner |volume=LXXXVI |issue=199 |location=Tasmania, Australia |date=22 August 1928 |accessdate=11 February 2019 |page=11 (DAILY) |via=National Library of Australia}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17608088 |title=What of Australian Composers?
