Hi Arri, a beautiful, yet melancholic song. But that's usually the case with Irish songs. That's why my wife and I love it so much.

In my old neighborhood, we had a Dutch amateur orchestra that only played songs by The Dubliners and The Pogues. And I was usually there, enjoying their music. Although, they couldn't do Shane MacGowan ;-)

But now I have to talk about the song you revived! The history of the song is very interesting. That ghost ship and all those lost souls singing, while the wind blows for everyone to hear. Typically Irish! And so beautiful, I think. And you did a great job on the mandolin and the vocals. Did you also sing the low voice in the song? It sounds like a man's voice. Tell me how you did that? First, a bottle of Jameson, Irish whiskey? No, I don't think you drink much!

There is one "but." You captured the importance of the wind well, but for me it was a bit too loud. I felt like there was something wrong with my headphones. In other words, the sound was a bit distracting. Maybe a different tone or volume?

But you did an excellent job here!
