| Oh Hail Gales of Wind |    |
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
Oh hail thee gales of thee wind
fill thy sails onward we be.

Dude that was really good. really chill and totally pirate-y. I loved it. 
perfect feeling.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to that. perfect mood for this time of night.

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
EXTREMELY CREATIVE! You painted such a great picture and I can't stop staring
