Great lyrics. Haunting and a creative way to tell the story.
The production and instrument choices spot on.
And Scott's guitar fit in perfectly with the tone and mood.
Much enjoyed!

Robert & Scott...
A big WOW on this one.
Robert - you have really kicked it a notch (several really) on this.
"under a patient sea
bright fish feed on failure
silence mans the winch
waves thrum cables
ice ghosts are real
will you believe the fables
see the captain at his table"
A super write.
A super production! Each element adds perfectly - at the right time. The loops help give this a "fresh, new" sound. And a nice mix. Nice vocal.
Scoot - your guitar parts are really nice - taking this up one more notch.
Well done. Your best, I think...
fj Floyd, I appreciate all those positives - especially good to hear we are getting the production levels up to speed. The bar just keeps getting raised on the songs I`m listening to around here! Robert very interesting lyrics and overall sound
you guys just keep turning out great songs
should have about an albums worth by now?
nice guitars Scott
nice kind of hypnotic song
enjoyed,
Kenny I guess that`s true, Kenny - surprising how that one message to Scott a couple of years back has turned into one of my main motivations for keeping going with songwriting. But who has time to remix everything for a cd? Thanks for your listen and comments. Robert Hi Robert. There's nothing wrong with those lines. Sure, they are a bit shorter, but evocative. I'd never suggest someone to re-write. I just think you can find a more rhythmically natural way to sing them. That may take a small re-write, but I don't think it would. "Its all good" as my neighbour says.Your comment kind of echoed a question I had about the way that line sounded so it just nudged me to revisit the two words I`d cut.I like it better now. Cheers, Robert

Robert and Scott,
You've really reached new heights with this creation. The lyrics, melody, arrangement... everything... all work together so well to create a terrific journey in a sombre mood. At the end of the song, I just sat here reflecting on the story you'd both just told me in words and music.
Wonderful work.
All the best,
Noel

It's a well constructed ballad with a great narrative.
The 1st percussion note seems to come in oddly or conflict with the vocal a bit.
I agree with Tangmo about lines in that verse. The read a little oddly and that's reinforced by the change in meter of the delivery.
Otherwise it's fabulous. Thank you! See my response above on those lyrics. I think you`re referring to the Bodhran not the drum RT- there are two loops and when they hit the same beat together its quite a thump. Hello, Robert
I cannot say which genre this song belongs to, but it is a cool song with the grand story.
I agree with rayc.
It's a well constructed ballad with a great narrative.
The 8-beat bass played throughout the song and the percussion produce something scaring mood. And Scott's guitar excites more scare.
And finally the bell of terror sounds.
It is a wonderful direction.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, I appreciate you highlighting the bass & percussion tracks - they help transform the song from folk to folkrock. I`m glad you enjoyed this. Robert Robert, your gift for lyric writing and melody is a potent combination! This song has such a haunting feel to it and is just a excellent composition! You really put together a nice piece of music here and Scott’s contribution really is a big plus on this! Thanks, Torrey Thank you very much,Torrey! What a unique and creative tune  A really enticing title, and really interest subject matter for a song. Some of the lyrics here are really otherworldly, and your delivery of them on the tune is incredible too. Not sure what compelled you to write this one, but I'm glad you did! Crazy where inspiration can come from. Great work and thanks for sharing! Deryk, I`ve been a history buff since high school and for some reason ( I hate the cold!) I`m particularly keen on polar exploration stories. I thought that title would prove attention grabbing! Thank you for all those positives. Robert

"kelp hands hold the helm
coral city cabins
wine bottle spins slowly
a note for the future to find
did they raise a parting glass
to boyhood`s grand design
never lower the banner never resigned"
We just kept reading the lyric over and over. "Kelp hands hold the helm" is stunningly rich imagery.
We love history and we love what you do with it in songs.
Take that creative write, add the perfect vocal for it and the wonderful guitar and you have one of the top collabs posted here.
You two are quite the team. Y'all keep pushing that bar on up.
Kudos!
J&B
J&B, I live near beaches with miles of that kelp. Images of the wreck are probably where that line came from, though. My historical songs are usually slim on narrative ( still remember how dull I found the list-of-events essays I wrote as a history major!)... there has to be some emotion in the telling. I`m happy you enjoyed our time travel music.Thank you for all those generous comments. Robert

Noel Noel, Getting the parts to make a cohesive whole is a challenge on these collaborations. Scott always makes it easier with his intuitive playing. Its gratifying to hear your positive comments on our efforts! Robert

Bob Bob, It`s a story for the ages retold in books over and over, but all the songs seem to have too many facts and not enough emotion for my taste. I`m glad you enjoyed our efforts. Robert
