Im swinging my jug of ale to this on them choppy seas. Wonderful tale and the vocals are pure velvety. Great work guys 👍

love the piano keys played over the starboard bow ...could feel the north wind filling the sails ...and hear the pirates scurring on the deck ...well done

You learn something everyday on SC and what a beautiful education this song is. Some great skills employed in crafting this gem. Bravo both for this stirring and moving tale.

What a wonderful tribute to Grace O'Malley! The vocals, instruments and mix sound great Nat and Durge!

Great harmonies, instruments and overall sound...and such a cool story to draw from too!!!

There's a local pub with her name.  Thanks for filling me in on who she was.

My wife Carlen was asked to choreograph the dancing to a show destined for off Broadway called Grainne the Pirate Queen. You guys nailed the essence of who she was and what she stood for.  A bad ass if ever there was one!!

This interesting story has been new to me. I like how you turned it into a two voices band still keeping the typical 6/8 feel.

your voices work so wonderfully well together

Lyrics:

What's the price, what's the cost, what's the cut, what's the fee?
Bargain bin, going cheap, going off, what's for free?

Why's it not enough?
Why's it never enough?

Shut your door, shut your eyes, shut your mouth, bend the knee

And you should be so glad
For only what you need
All aboard and saddle up
Better thank God that you got a cup

To be half empty
And a pot to piss in, yeah.
All aboard and saddle up
You only need some, and it's just enough

You've got the urge, be willing to purge
Just leave enough and leave it be.

Why's it not enough?
Why's it never enough?

Leave enough and leave it be.

Lyrics:  The Tale of Grace O’Malley

Let me tell you the tale
Of Grace O’Malley
Crimson red hair 
And the courage she carried
A nobleman’s daughter
A life full of rules
But fate took her hands 
And gave her sailing shoes
A pirate queen,  deadly  and fair…
In Gaelic her name wasn’t Grace
It’s Grainne of Clare  

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, lead with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees

V2
In a time when a girl 
Had no worth but breeding
You broke all the rules
And pierced every ceiling
You made all your fortunes
Then saved all your sons
And paid the Queens’ ransom
Then called all to arms
For bonnie Ireland needed you so
And your heart would never let go.. could never let go….

Oh Grainne, Grainne of Clare
Who could lead men to battle, 
Lead them with a with a valkyrie stare
And you’d never give in
Though your life was at stake
You’d show us what valour could mean
For you’d rather die freely
Than live on your knees
Oh you’d rather die freely 
Than live on your knees…

So now you know the tale.. of Grace O’Malley
Just a girl with red hair .. who was worth more than marriage
Now look at your daughters..  and tell them you love them
And treat them like equals and never condemn them
They’re all so much more.. they’re  worth so much more…
Like Grainne of Clare.

Weekend Blues,  Gene Jumper,( Original  Instrumental ) Music By,Norm Evans

this one i recorded on an old 2 track reel to reel…….cheers for having a listen


if i could go right back, to where it all started
barely flesh and bone
i'd crawl right back, from where i came
never ever to be knowd

and i'd say amen, if i could be born again

well it didn't take long, for trouble to find me
follow me down the line
i tried to lay low, not get caught up in it
thought i had time on my side

and my broken heart would mend, if i could be born again

right place wrong time, it's a habit of mine
a rambler by nature my friend
going sideways and under, and up over yonder
the straight narrow road lies ahead

would your ear be there to lend, if i could be born again
yes i'd say amen, if i could be born again

If I Could Be Born Again

LYRICS

Suitcase in the hall she said I'm leaving you
That perfume I can smell it ain't mine
She said I'm so tired I can't take no more
And man you're so far out of line

I just stood there not knowing what to say
I guess I done her wrong to many times
She said I'm so tired I can't take no more
And man you're so far out of line

She said you know
I've always loved you
You know I wanted you
For all time

Instrumental

She said I'm so tired I can't take no more
And man you're so far out of line

I've said I'm sorry so many times before
I thought I'd try it just one more time
She said I'm so tired I can't take no more
And man you're so far out of line
And man you're so far out of line
And man you're so far out of line

Lyrics:
Used to be nothing
Now I 'am me
Please don't push my buttons
Cause I've been running from the things
That make this real 
And I have had enough
Cause I've been trying 
Not to feel
The consequence of 
Always wanting more of this
And I've been chillin all day
Let them pave the way
So I might as well wait 
Two feet in the grave
Four blunts to the face
Six shots and I'm awake

When you read this
I might be gone
I'm feeling how you feel
When enough is enough 
Fear, pain, rage 
And no love
I miss the good old days 
With the sex and the drugs
I'd like to be rich
I could have some money 
Put some gold on my wrist
I got a bullet that will 
Make me a myth
But not before
I play your screams like a riff
