This is a windlass shanty (Text from "Songs of the American Sailormen" (1924) by Joanna C. Colcord).

The tune is attributed to Liam Milner in the collection "A Bonnie Bunch Of Roses" (1983)
by Dan Milner and Paul Kaplan.

It's a fine example of a work song exposing a bit of social history.

William Tapscott and his brother James were brokers for at least two packet ship companies
and would arrange passage across the Atlantic Ocean from Liverpool to New York.
 
Regrettably, their advertising was often fraudulent and overstated the quality and size of the ships. The poor emigrants were well and truly ripped off. On board the ships, 
the food and accommodation were inferior.

"Clarence Dock" in Liverpool opened in 1830. It received many ferry passengers from Ireland 
during the Potato Famine, when Liverpool Atlantic packet ship sailings were more frequent 
than those from Ireland.

"Waterloo Dock" opened in 1834. It was the major exit point from England for the NY-bound. 

"Castle Garden", in the last verse, refers to Castle Clinton in lower Manhattan (The Battery),
which was the forerunner (until 1892) of Ellis Island for receiving new immigrants to the
United States.

Why the AI Race - Just Blame The Algo // a That's Bizzare Take

Ancylus Lake is a name given by geologists to a large freshwater lake that existed in northern Europe approximately from 8,750 to 7,850 years BC, being in effect one of various predecessors to the modern Baltic Sea.
Traces of the Ancylus Lake can be found today at the exact spot where I live, at the West Coast of Sweden close to the Norwegian border. If you know where to look.

My new song "This Night" is now live on SoundCloud! 🌃

This track is deeply inspired by the sounds of the 80s, a decade of music that has always moved me. I tried to capture that feeling with heartfelt saxophone lines and drums that you can really feel. 🎷 My hope is that it brings you a sense of nostalgia and energy.

I am so incredibly grateful for anyone who takes the time to listen. Your support truly means the world to me and gives me the encouragement to continue sharing my music. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. 🙏

I also want to extend a very special thank you to Tennent Buckner for creating the beautiful cover artwork for this single. Your artistry perfectly captured the mood I was hoping for. 💛

Thank you again for being on this journey with me. I would genuinely love to hear what you think of "This Night" in the comments.

Built To Shake Things Up //  Dead Man On Mission To Mars

Originally, called The Other$ides and originally written in 2014. This is my single, Run Away. This is an original song, that is written, produced and recorded by Calyx Kre/Astral Realm Beats. 

You are at a crossroads (Two of Swords), feeling emotional and unsure, but your heart and intuition are guiding you. This is a time to trust your own path, honor your emotions, and embrace your unique power. Take time to reflect, heal, and nurture yourself—the Pisces and lunar energy encourages meditation, emotional release, and compassion. Everything you create and experience is a lesson and an opportunity for growth (Mars in Sagittarius in the Sixth House, Pisces influence). By balancing your daily life with self-care, following your inner guidance, and acting from love rather than fear, you can move forward with clarity, purpose, and unlimited creative potential.
Key Tarot Insight: The Two of Swords reminds you that the path forward becomes clear when you pause, look inward, and make choices from a place of calm and intuition rather than fear.
