For now....  Here's a new song  

The new umbrella

w/m: Geir
Jasmine acoustic guitar
Ibanez bass
M3000 Mellotron app on iPad (with  Clare Lindley fiddle and soprano Caitlin Downie addins)
Recorded, mixed and mastered on the BR80 using built-in mics for vocals and guitar

The weather's fine
the sea is calm
the sky is blue

The weather's fine outside
but I don't wanna get out
'cause there's a cloud inside and I've got a new umbrella
The weather's fine
but I don't mind ...
the sun is shining outside but I don't wanna get out

the sky is blue today
but I don't wanna see it
'cause there's rain inside
and I've got a new coat
the sky is blue
and so are you
the sky is blue outside
but I don't mind ....

the sea is calm today
but I don't wanna get in my boat
'cause there's a river inside and I just wanna float
down the river .. to the sea
the sea is calm today
but I don't wanna get in my boat

  Good one Blooby!

After listening to this, i can almost smell the ocean and feel the salt spray on me head. Belted out in fine vocal pirate fashion. Not sure i really get the story yet, but i'm workin' on it.

Well constructed instrumentally and nicely mixed...and it certainly screams seafaring and rides the bow in your Viking blood. Enjoyed sailing with ya my friend!

Great vocal a real drinking song make mine a double .....

[Greeny]

Such a joyous sound. This is 'real' music. It could be a hundred years old, and would still be amazing in  a hundred years time. Folky, vikingy, Geiry timeless brilliance. Love the sound of the panned acoustic guitars especially - so fresh and natural.

Outstanding.
