Vic...this is different for you stylistically...yeah it would not work with lesser words...I love the style...man Vic, this is a brilliant lyrical write and the interludes between the stanzas really gives it that Celtic feel and arrangement...paradox of happy music and tragic subject matter makes this song unique and very appealing...every aspect so well done!

Vic, this is fantastic.
You successfully mixed vintage Celtic with a contemporary message - brilliant.
I'm late but glad I didn't miss this masterpiece. I could repeat all of the accolades that have been given but instead I will just say everything is this song is perfect.

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.

Thanks Firesong.
I did think there may be too many long musical interludes so your comment was welcome.

Hi Vic,

Your song reminds me a lot of the Dubliners. You know their famous song "whiskey in a jar"?
They also had long lyrics, but that why you can sing them the way you do. They are a melody in themselves, so to say.
I enjoyed it very much! Especially the fiddle plays a nice role in the song.

good one, Vic!

Hans.
That's where I got my love of the Celtic style.
My band toured Ireland with the Dubliners back in the 1960's before they were a big hit. That was something hard to forget although most of that tour was flooded with alcohol.
Thanks for the comment.

Nice to hear that people are using more Celtic tracks in their songs, bringing welcome change to the conventional instrumentation. This song sounds very good, the cello and the fiddle are used nicely. Interesting lyrics, okay quite many words, but they tell the story with strong images and giving feeling of the tidal wave coming back again and again. I really enjoyed the vocals, reminding me of Christy Moore.

“Pulls you in, drowns your brain. Steals away your soul.”

That line says it all, doesn’t it. Great lyric, Vic, and the Celtic vibe works perfectly with it.

You sang all those words just fine and we like the outro as is.

Kudos!

Howdy vicarn....

This is good write.
Good song structure with good lyrics and captivating vibe.
Vox is just fine too.
It has an rhythmic appeal all it's own.

Very well done!
