Andy, this is really great work! It's like I've stumbled across a missing Gordon Lightfoot cut! Great job on that guitar solo also! Thanks, Torrey Haha, thanks Torrey. Raising The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Very nice folk song with traditional feel and lyrics, reminds me of Christy Moore. The solo melody played with modern sound fits perfectly the mood.

Thanks Janne. I'm glad that I decided to keep the modern-sounding solo. It does fit the mood quite well.
I was initially tempted to try something more intricate with two acoustic guitars playing in harmony.

Hi Andyman,
WOW! Such imagery you have composed into your lyrics. Please excuse me, I have to go and wipe that cold salty water off me... Really good music fit to your lyrics and nicely done vocals/harmony.
Thanks for posting it...

Thank you for listening. Where I live, the North Sea is particularly cold at all times of the year.

Hey, thanks for the info regarding the fiddle and your guitar. I don’t play electric but like to diddle around with direct input RTs and amp sims - Logic Pro has a LOT of them with cabinet and mic choices. I think the “extra processing” I mentioned is the echo you described. Really nice.

Nice. I like this. I was thinking I would have used a mandolin for the solo.... as much as I love a guitar, the mandolin would give a more earthy feel in the solo.
All in all though, a nice job Andy

Thanks Herb.
Funnily enough, I was talking with my son the other night about adding this song to my solo acoustic set when the lockdown ends and I finally get the chance to resume playing weekly live gigs in our local pub.
He sometimes lends a hand on guitar and vocals when needed, and I suggested that he plays guitar and I play my Irish bouzouki on this one (including the solo). It's a very similar instrument to the mandolin (which I also play), except it's an octave lower and has an elongated neck. It's often referred to as an octave mandolin, but tuned GDAD instead of GDAE.

Hi Andy ...
I agree with the "Edmund Fitzgerald" comment. Although the snare is fairly dominant, I think it perfectly ingratiates the intensity of the lyric ... a real nice point of accent for the genre. Your vocal is stellar! loved the ending with the sound of the sea rushing through my ears powerfully yet not overwhelming. excellent!
Wishing you the best. Be safe ...

As soon as this started I thought of Gordon Lightfoot also.
Everything about this song I liked. Your vocal was excellent, as was your backing tracks and mix.
You did a fantastic job on this song.
When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Very nice sound.
Well written, great orchestra and terrific vocals.
Only critique I agree with is the guitar effect is disconnected from the band.
