This man! http://www.escapetheclouds.com/
Escape the clouds. He has even let me sing on one of his latest tracks, which you can download for free. You can also purchase his entire album at the address listed above.
You won’t be disappointed.
Several Folks have asked me for the lyrics to this song, so I thought I would post them here for the time being. The recorded version will be on the upcoming e.p. “The bottom of the Sea” which will be released in November. For future performances, I will be strongly encouraging sing alongs! Do not worry, I will be providing songbooks so there is no need for strict memorization. I will be posting a youtube video or just audio of the song soon, so ya’ll can practice up real good.
Steady
In the hull of this ship, there’s a home that we’ve built
Myself and each soul of this crew.
And ‘most every night by the oil lamp light,
I still think of you.
The calm, quiet weather, it held us together,
but the skies, they soon changed their hue.
And in the black of the night, you vanished and I
was still in love with you.
Steady as she goes.
There are those that stay with us through each ebb and flow.
They are the ones we call home.
Steady as she goes.
You drifted away on tumultuous waves,
and your heart upon each new wind blows.
I’ll never forget, in your wake what you left.
Steady as she goes.
A piece of a man who could not understand
what would make you go,
While others who came through the same storm remained,
All you left were your clothes.
Steady as she goes.
There are those that stay with us through each ebb and flow.
They are the ones we call home.
Steady as she goes.
There comes a time in all of our lives
When we find out of what we are made.
In a sea of lost causes and all of these flaws
is there anything worth being saved?
Some stars shine bright, may not shed guiding light,
but delay us from courses outlaid.
But there are those, there are those
compasses that have remained.
Steady as she goes.
There are those that stay with us through each ebb and flow.
They are the ones we call home.
Steady as she goes.
I remember you.
You couldn’t hold on, you drifted away,
Well, I’ve done the same to a few.
Oh oh oh… I remember you.
There’s no one to blame, but the wind and the rain,there was nothing we could do.
And we’ll find our own way home.
Steady as she goes.
There are those that stay with us through each ebb and flow.
They are the ones we call home.
Steady as she goes.
Steady as she goes.
In a matter of hours I will be making my first venture into the great land of Canada. Wish me luck!
I’m off in less than an hour to the wonderful world of touring. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone, some familiar faces and some new.
When I return in early July, I’m going to start working on the Victorian Dead project, but for now I will be doing more recording back in WI for a nautical e.p. that will be released at TeslaCon.
See you soon!
I have a bunch of family and friends here in Baltimore with me this week. There is no thing quite as wonderful as not needing to turn your phone on, because everyone who would call you is already right there with you. I know its not much of a post and a little sappy, but I don’t care!
Thanks to everyone who supported our kickstarter project. We have reached the $2,500 goal and we are still going strong. Every last dollar we earn will go towards making this album bigger and better. We are still raising funds till May 28th, so if you have’nt checked out the project yet, please do!
I’m currently working on a project with the Ladies from the Clockwork Cabaret radio show. What we are aiming to do is record an album full of songs that are about people from the Victorian era. Emmett and Mingan will be doing radio bits between each song giving information about each person and their life.
We really need your help. If you are at all able, please donate what you can to help make this project a reality. There’s plenty of incentives for different levels of contribution. If we fall even a penny short of the goal, then we cannot go through with the project. All the details are on the kickstarter page!
So, its getting to that time of year where the birds are chirping and the grass is starting to grow again and the world seems to be coming alive once more. The days are longer and the air is crisp, and gosh darn it, its time for a little spring cleaning!
I hope to see some new faces and many familar ones tomorrow at the Tempus Mark Twain event!
