I suppose you could call this a sea shanty. Wrote this one about six months ago. All comments happily taken on-board. Regards Rob https://soundcloud.com/ironbarkbob/in-the-morningWritten in BB. Real Tracks edited with Reaper Vocals and fill my self. Sorry lost all the original settings for this song. In the morning Farewell my love for I am setting sale. To leave this fare land that I love. Farewell my love there'll be no kiss goodbye. For Im bound for botany bay in the morning. I'll set my sights on a distant southern. I'll bid my kin all goodbye. I'll exchange the mist and the rain for new earth. For I'm bound for botany bay in the morning. Fill From the streets paved with gold I will send for you. You can stand at your place by my side. For my back is strong as I toil in the sun. For I'm bound for botany bay in the morning.

I'm impressed that you can take these different genres of music and compose and arrange songs that fit your vocals. There is always a sense of authenticity in your songs. Enjoyed my listen and look forward to your next post.

Hi Rob,
I really enjoyed this song. You totally captured the "Sea Shanty" feel and I loved the harmony vocals.
It sounded like a lot of different voices singing harmony e.g. the crew of a fishing boat, which added to the authenticity of it for me.

Rob, I like this one a lot. The banjo works really well. I am ready to hoist another one and blow the foam off the top! Tom

Charlie Thanks Charlie. I'm glad you picked up on that genre thing. I try to write in different styles so as not to get bogged down on any particular genre. Some times I have to challenge my self and step out side my comfort zone. I don't have a great vocal range so it is truly a challenge. Thanks again Charlie. Rob

Cool and definitely captured the vibe.
90db once posted a fine shanty and
that sent me off to explore the origin
of the term and the genre.
Cheers and as Tom said "hoist another
one and blow the foam off."
Nice production in all aspects.

Hi Rob,
A nice shanty.
In the part of the Netherlands we live (called Groningen), there are a lot of "shanty choirs".
We could imagine one of these choirs sing this song.
Well done.
Rob and Anne-Marie

Rob,
This may be my favorite of all your songs - sounds like a long lost Burl Ives tune. So cool and extremely well done.
