Oh Hail Gales of Wind
*

This song is not in a battle


I've been working on a pirate theme for some time now. I wanted to try doing a very raw sea chanty something you'd hear on boat back in the days of piracy. It still needs some tidbits of vocs of yo ho ho and ar! But its gettng closer to being finished. Be anyone to fill me black jack with rum?

Oh hail thee gales of thee wind
fill thy sails onward we be.
crack'n o me deck, be my lullabyes
tis thee sea, rocks me asleep

onward starboard
hoist the colors
weigh anchor porter bow

we sea dogs, life be cheap
coins hold no quater, fer me pockets
boots be with holes, nay to a compass
be, plenty of stars and rum fer course

onward starboard
hoist the colors
weigh anchor porter bow

Oh hail thee gales of thee wind
fill thy sails onward we be

ye land lubbers eats cackle fruit
me has his black jack full of rum
fancy many dress me prouds of mes jack tar!
me life be care free savy

onward starboard
hoist the colors
weigh anchor porter bow

Oh hail thee gales of thee wind
fill thy sails onward we be
onward we be

I liked the section where it picked up in dynamics and feel.
I did struggle to understand the vox, had to revert to the printed text.
You may want to add some varied effects throughout the piece to keep it interesting and do the vox again, they are out of sync in some places. I think it might sound better with an acoustic guitar, and ideally a mandolin.
You did we'll creating the pirate vibe, the lyrics must have been a challenge in its self.

it kind of took my feet away ..
as i expected a swashbuckly folky kind of song ... man u held it up
U gazed thru it and put a new spin  on it
well done

sfx really got me going at the start

unusual ... and good for that

thanks ... just what bandamp needs ... creating outside the box

must admit at points i questioned if this the way to treat what might be a traditional shanty type song
but this is great

thank you .... i loved it

getcha fish

Some cords and strings need tuning. Somehow fascinating.
