This week we made a sea shanty for my buddy Dan’s bachelor party

› lyrics‹ lyricsVerse 1

Since Danny boy was young he yearned for the sea

Not bats and balls, twas the ships that called to he

Ever since he stole the Volvo he was bound for piracy

And once he tasted sailor rum Dan became Monty

Chorus

Yo Ho raise your glass

The rogue has gone to shore

For the lad we knew as Monty

isn’t Monty anymore

Verse 2

So he sailed to reach the campus green, skipped class for rum and mutiny

He joined a band of brothers

Down on 42nd street

He’d take no chain and kiss no crown

From his dark lair in cedar house

His friends walked upon the planks he pressed

To PJ’s and the edge

Chorus

Yo Ho raise your glass

The rogue has gone to shore

For the lad we knew as Monty

isn’t Monty anymore

Verse 3

He’s always been a Rebel since his days in South Caroline

And he collected his degree once he finally found the time

He moved back to Hampton roads to find a new lair by the sea

He’s the youngest at the yacht club, average age is 63

(Interlude)

Next, he filled his lair with grandmas plundered treasures old

And bought a 97’ Escalade with ac never cold

He did an Ironman quest but he never ran his boat

Monty boy where did you go?

Check your chart now oh, where is Monty loose?

On a Saturday it seems he’s working down in Newport News?

Just another day of work for him his work is never done

From one project to another and another other one

Pre-Chorus

Fare thee well old Monty lad

The rogue of Hampton Bay

We buried him off Marker Twenty

As Maggie hauled Dan away

Chorus

Yo Ho toll the bell

Another pirates done

Old Monty met a navy girl

and now the bastard’s gone

Yo Ho raise your glass

The rogue has found his shore

For the lad we knew as Monty

isn’t Monty anymore› idea and narrative‹ idea and narrativeIt my friend dans bachelor party this weekend and we are going Yachting in Annapolis. We want to write him a sea shanty. The general idea is to follow the arc of his life in the verses, and then we need to come up with a hook. I think I want to lean into the most pirate like elements of his life. It’s fully summarized below, but notable ones are

- Marker 20, the local nautical dive tavern

- Actual sailing, yachting, coach life

- The edge as a dive / haunt. Cedar house as the pirates lair

- His house full of grandmas plundered treasures

- Barnacled beat up rides

- Brotherhood pirate crew

- Mythic quests for ironman

- Walked the planks (longboards)

- Lassies on the Rebel

- That lass Maggie is the girl for him

His nickname was Monty

Humor elements we must include

- Escalade with no AC

- runs Ironmans but can’t finish a bathroom, sailboat engine doesn’t run etc his boat is Jacqueline Seay

- rebel

- glorifying marker 20 which is a nautical salty bar but it’s a bit underwhelming for nightlife in reality

- always at work works crazy hours at the shipyard. If you check his location on Saturday he might be there

- eager to sign up for projects he doesn’t have time for

- edge and pjs as haunts, cedar house as lair

- youngest person at the Hampton yacht club where the average age is like 65

We could also lean into the common arcs of the sea shanties like “times got tough and the jobs dried up so I became a pirate”

This was a close one. Did a last minute improv to keep the streak alive.

Electric pianos are better than real pianos. CMV.

The bassline filter is sort of just off doing its own thing. Let it have its fun.

Hi!

I wanted to make minimalistic dubby steppy techno.

Mix is a science I need to improve a lot.

I'm tired.

Have a great week!

Something trancy, but also rather short

third swing for a song and not originally as ambient and spacey as i was initially thinking, but appreciate the more alien pads and trippy breaks. sloppy but fine.

work still feeling a bit wonky but no news about the job i finished interviewing likely as my boss was out at a conference all week. maybe this week? we'll see.

Hey everyone, today is basically an extension of last week.

While last week focussed on a cloudburst where suddenly the rain falls down and thunder echoes through the whole area, this week is about it clearing up and the sky getting clear again.

Its the first time im doing this kind of „concept“ writing so this was quite a fun experience. I did not expect to continue it last week so the last note which was added on last weeks upload is where this one starts. they can be directly played after another with that in mind.

If i ever happen to release them i will make sure to adjust them to properly fit together!

Sorry, the mix is a bit funny, but that is what you get for experimenting with digitone acid for the first time on a Sunday night.
