Fair Winds, Following Seas Song describes the storm blowing over, waves subsiding, the sun peeking through, and safe sailing ahead. Fair winds, following seas is a term used by mariners, who use this term synonymously with the points of sail below a beam reach, since the wind direction is generally the same as the sea direction. Therefore, the phrase Fair winds and following seas, implies that a vessel will have good winds, and not have to pound into the waves. – Wikipedia · 6/8 time signature, key of C major · Flowing, lilting melody · Left hand arpeggios, single note melody with some full chords in right hand · Decrescendos and mp-p dynamics
