Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…
Fiddling around with an open G tuning and I found the chord that 'Prodigal Son' is based on (a Robert Wilkins tune from the 30s made famous by the Stones) so I had a play around with it, stopped for dinner and came back and wrote the lyrics…
I believe 'yarrrr' is Pirate for "More Rum, by the salty sheets of Windy Gail". So it could be wearing thin, but is more likely just a little slurred LOL
This is my 2007 Pirate Day song, written and recorded September 19th 2007. I like the innuendo, but maybe it's too subtle - nobody else seems to notice ;~)

Haha, no, you sound about as Cornish as I sound Irish.
I am recording a pirate song for ye right now, arrrh! (It's more of a pirate love song though...shocker...so it may not fit on ye playlist.)

Thanks guys and gals. It's be great to have a few more Piratical Ditty's slipping through onto the airwaves this year. I'll be doing another one for sure.
Does my accent sound Cornish?
Wicked!

Thanks Kirk, that's fine by me!
Pirate Day is a right laugh, and a good excuse for a fun song.
Sister - that's fine by me, too LOL thankee. It was a few years ago - I'm a lot more decrepit, now, of course.
i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.
you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

Hey Gumbo, I'm really enjoying your tracks -- that's why i've listened to 12 in a row :)

Well, blow me down. Me aints no hornswaggler ye landlubbers. We'll be dancing the hempen jig!
re: Cornish - that's a puzzle then re: Pirate love songs - plenty of room for a love song - Pirates have big hearts - just ask Davy Jones!
Haha, no, you sound about as Cornish as I sound Irish. I am recording a pirate song for ye right now, arrrh! (It's more of a pirate love song though...shocker...so it may not fit on ye playlist.)

Hup!
Hey that's perfect for my late night reverie
Randy Newman, eat your heart out!
Great vocal! great lyrics and a wonderful supporting ensemble. Faved.
these are great mixes, Tim. Love this one, too.
smudged it with my foot, covered it up with leaves but came back to see what I believed. Love this line.
This is an amazing track.
