Chris, you and Patrick have delivered a spell binding song here.
Love the lyrics, mystical, dangerous, exciting.
The steel drums help to create the perfect backing.

Nice lyric vocal and the Caribbean groove is excellent.
Like VideoTrack said, "Love the lyrics, mystical, dangerous, exciting."
That is a great description that we agree with.
Enjoyed it!

Excellent.
The "prohibited cargo" could be rum, gold or human lives.
I suspect all three.
Excellent melody, an intriguing narrative and very supportive arrangement.
Cheers

Cool breeze in your Caribbean groove, Chris. The steel drums really take me back to many fun times in St. Martin. Very enjoyable song!

Chris (and Patrick),
Wow, that’s a different sound from you, Chris. I’m digging it! Nice vocal sits really cleaning the mix. Great harmonies to boot. Chill song. Great work you two!
My best to you both,

What a great feel! I love the feel, and the delivery was excellent! There is not one thing that doesn't fit perfectly in this song. Everything is supporting of everything else.
Thanks for sharing this with us!

Took me a minute to catch the vibe on this song, but once I got it I was hooked until the end! That chorus is super catchy and the sprinkling of still drums and (vibes?) throughout kept it super interesting. Superb!

Chris,
Nice Caribbean groove!
And very nice chanson!
It reminds me of Charles Aznavour songs of Carib.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
