Saltwater (Chicane song)

"Saltwater" is a song by Chicane featuring the vocals of Irish singer Máire Brennan. The track uses parts of Clannad's 1982 hit " Theme From Harry's Game" with both re-recorded and newly written lyrics.

It was released as a single in 1999, reaching the #6 position on the UK Singles Chart and becoming a popular trance track in clubs across Europe. In 2003, the song was used in a national tourism campaign for Ireland and also by Belfast City Council in adverts promoting the city.

Saltwater (Julian Lennon song)

"Saltwater" is a 1991 song performed by English singer, songwriter, and musician Julian Lennon. It was written by Mark Spiro, Leslie Spiro and Julian Lennon. Originally released on the album Help Yourself, the single peaked at #6 in the UK in October 1991, and topped the Australian ARIA singles chart for four weeks in March 1992. "Saltwater" was the 14th highest-selling single of 1992 in Australia, where it was certified platinum.

Unlike most of Lennon's previous songs, "Saltwater" combines subtle melodies with gentle vocals to bring forward the issues of environmental conservation and world poverty. The lyrics juxtapose the many marvels and feats of human civilization with the death of the natural world, constantly emphasising the passing of time - 'Time is not a friend, 'cos friends we're out of time'

The recording features a lead guitar solo in the style of George Harrison. Julian Lennon originally wrote a guitar solo for the song. At the suggestion of his producer Bob Ezrin, he then contacted George Harrison to play the solo instead. George was busy at the time consoling Eric Clapton whose son had recently died. He recorded a couple of riffs and sent them back to Julian. Guitar player Steve Hunter then played the actual solo on the song, combining elements of both Lennon's and Harrison's solos. In the liner notes for the Help Yourself album George Harrison is given special thanks.

An instrumental version (Guitar Duet) of this song was recorded by Chet Atkins and Tommy Emmanuel on their album The Day Finger Pickers Took Over the World.

The song can be heard in its entirety during the 1991 Christmas Day special of Only Fools and Horses, Miami Twice.

Anni-Frid Lyngstad from ABBA performed the song at the open-air gala concert "Artister för Miljö", and included her cover as a B-side on her single "Änglamark".

Saltwater (2012 film)

Saltwater is a 2012 film directed by Charlie Vaugn. It was written, produced by Ronnie Kerr, who also acted in the film. It was funded by Kickstarter. The executive producer was Michael Shoel and line producer was Creep Creepersin.

Saltwater premiered on July 14, 2012 at the 18th Annual Philadelphia QFest. Qfest is the east coast's largest LGBT film festival and the third largest of its kind in the nation. Saltwater played to a sold-out crowd in the Ritz Bourse theater. It also played to a near, sold-out crowd the next day at the Ritz East.

In 2005, an ex-Marine, who was good-looking, had many friends, including Ronnie, and a boyfriend, committed suicide to the surprise of many, but left no suicide note or explanation. This real-life tragedy inspired Saltwater. Filming took place in various locations in North Hollywood, Sherman Oaks and San Diego.

Former rugby player, now actor, Ian Roberts said, "I chose Saltwater as the first film in which I play a gay character because its content is something that’s very personal to me. It spoke to me in a way no other script has."

Justin Utley, who has been a friend of Ronnie for many years, was asked to use some of his music in the film, as he had used his music on a previous film. But later Justin flew to LA and over a weekend, acted in the movie.

The title, Saltwater, comes from one of the characters who tells a friend, "cure for anything is saltwater, which is (found in) tears, sweat or the sea."

It was filmed on a red Scarlet camera.
