Under2Fest (banner image missing)


Didn't set out to write an under2fest song but when i hit stop low and behold just under 2! I bought a Penny Whistle (Tin Flute) last night for work today & next week(audio visual aid), and wrote this to help learn how to play it. Recorded all the music last night just put the vocals down 20 min. ago and mix/mastered it. Surprisingly a hard little flute to make sound good, I think these tracks are a little breathy and I've since played it a bunch this morning and my tone is already getting better, it's a fun little flute!

Bound, Captive
Taken so far from home
So alone your faith will grow
& it will lead you home
Such faith will lead you home

Anger should have overcome
Hatred should have been revealed
But love & faith grew strong &
This love & faith will lead you
Far from your home
Such faith will lead you home

Nice Canadian east coast feel. You must be from Newfoundland. If not then Canada would welcome you anytime!

WTF! Seriously man a penny whistle now! You play that thing like it cost a million bucks!
This song should have way more comments.
The song and your voice alone are incredible but the mandolin and whistle give it a sorta Irish flare.
I agree with Tony H. This is a newfie sounding song. You`d have incredible followers to this type of
music in Newfoundland for sure! Nice one bro!
