Stunning all round song, vocals Joanne are simply magic. This is ONE song I'd love to use for my internet AND hospital radio shows if you wouldn't mind ?
Graham Graham, I`m fine with you playing this on your shows... so you just link from Sound Cloud? I can send the WAV if you pm me. Cool... a song about your part of the world by a Canadian, sung by a South African, on Scottish radio! Robert Just linked from soundcloud Robert, quality's excellent

Robert,
Such a beautiful write with some very surprising chord changes.
Top notch really!
Joanne: this definitely must be your best vocal ever!

Hello all
Sorry I have been a little absent on this thread. I have been up in Zimbabwe visiting my mother with very little internet access. I am now feeling well rested and tearing to go!
Thanks for the great comments on this song and thank you to Robert for giving me the opportunity to record these vocals. I throughly enjoyed it and am glad the song turned out well.

Fabulous the way the melody has propelled the lyrics into such a beautiful song. The harmonies are simply astounding. Actually, the whole song is beautiful. Great production too.

A song in the best of the story folk tradition told with an excellent lyric/melody, and vocal. And added to that is an arrangement and RT choice that is enough to carry the song (and needing nothing more). The lyric is a story of wonder. One of the most poetic and literate sea stories we’ve read or heard. Parenthetically, I’ve enjoyed the “sea shanties” posted here over the years. I realize that this is not at all of that genre; however, the scope of the genre has widened over the years to include really interesting material. Pardon, the song couldn’t help but send the old guy on a digression  Well done you collaborators! J&B

Robert and Joanne,
This is a fine listen.
The production sounds excellent and Joanne, your singing is absolutely superb. So much attention has been paid to detail in the creation of this song and its presentation! The final product is a terrific collaboration. I also found myself captivated by the chord progression... the sequence had a very haunting and mysterious sound; it was an excellent backdrop for Robert's imagery.
All the best,
Noel
Noel, Thank you I`m glad you enjoyed our efforts. As said before, most of the fine tuning on the mix was done by Joanne and I`ve learnt a lot from being able to see what was done in RB. I appreciate your mentioning of the chords - I tried to go somewhere different in the chorus to add some drama. Robert Wow! This is so danged good! everything is placed and performed perfectly. Joanne's voice is a n excellent fit - and she's such a terrific singer. Haunting and captivating. That was a marvelous listen! Kudos to all concerned.
The simulated broadcast at the end is a perfect outro. All of you were at the top of your game with this one.
Alan I have to agree with Alan. Nicely done by you both. Tom Thank you, Tom! Robert/Joanne,
A very nice listen. As others have noted.."haunting".
Good vocal, excellent production and mix.
Enjoyed it.
fj Floyd, Happy to hear you enjoyed this- that`s two "haunting" songs in a row - gonna change tack for the next one! Robert

Rob and Anne-Marie Rob & Anne-Marie, Thank you for that... Joanne has recorded many very fine vocals; of course I`m biased, but I`d have to agree with you this is right up there! Robert Robert & Joanne

Peter I appreciate your listen and endorsement. Robert

Thank you for your very kind comments. Re: harmonies, Joanne has a very informative article on how she goes about recording them on her website: https://www.joannecooper.co.za/blog/blog/5-steps-to-recording-harmonies-using-band-in-a-box-and-real-bandA song in the best of the story folk tradition told with an excellent lyric/melody, and vocal.

Pardon, the song couldn’t help but send the old guy on a digression Well done you collaborators! J&B J&B, Thank you! I`ll have to search through the back catalogue for those sea shanties - the acapella ones are often really powerful. I`m happy you enjoyed the story here, sketch as it is. Funny you should say " needing nothing more" on the track choices - I spent several days trying to integrate some uillean pipe loops into the song, being very partial to the celtic sound. Having a second opinion is a good way to get some distance on things you feel stuck on with these collaborations! Robert

Thanks, Torrey Torrey, The weather terminology sounds so dramatic I changed the chorus to a minor key to emphasise that. Many thanks for your kind comments! Robert

Hello, Robert
Very nice collaboration!
Joanne's voice is really fitted to this tune.
Simple but very strong melody!
I like the chord progression at "come away now I tell you true".
It accentuates this song very well.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

Shigeki Adachi Hi Shigeki, Thank you! Yes, Joanne has such a great voice for folk songs so I thought of her right away when this was written. I`m always interested to hear the things you notice about song structure and really appreciate your comments. Robert

Wonderful collab!! Take care. Greg Greg, I`m happy you enjoyed our work. There was very little to do once Joanne sent me her beautiful vocal - as said before, I did try to complicate the arrangement before the penny dropped. Cheers, Robert
