A Gallant Gentlemen, the opening track from We Lost The Sea’s third and most adventurous record to date, is a slowly building piece that gives you a just a glimpse of the tumultuous journey to follow. This is the perfect gateway to the heart wrenching ‘Departure Songs.’ The tracks tells the story of Lawrence Oates, an army captain and explorer who walked off into the freezing Antarctic night on a expedition gone wrong, in an attempt to give his life to save the rest of his team. He knew he had become a burden on his friends. He knew their chances of survival would improve without him. So off he walked, alone, into oblivion. An opening track to a record that is steeped so much in the ideas of life, death and hope.

The title of this song is named after a painting by John Charles Dollman.

I was part of the choir in this and listening still gives me goosebumps after all this time since recording. Such an amazing piece.

My father died a month ago. At the funeral, his friends and colleagues remembered him as an old time gallant gentlemen. Suddenly, today this song came to my mind and I listened it like 5 times, and I cried a lot. I miss him so much, I miss my gallant gentlemen.

“We Lost the Sea” is the coolest name for a band.

Does anyone agree with me that reading the poem 'A Gallant Gentleman' by C.J.Dennis while listening to this incredible song gives the absolute feels?

The more I learn about Departure Songs the more staggered I am at just how much they accomplished with no lyrics, it's like no words could ever convey the feeling that the instruments provide

Postrock, best music genre ever existed

I keep coming back for this song every day. Definitely my top 5 Post-rock bands, right up there with Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky.

While this song is cited to reference the self-sacrifice of Captain Lawrence Oates during an Antarctic expedition in 1912, I can't help but feel the song as well as its album are a tribute to Chris Torpy, their late vocalist.
