Liming - Part 1

A minimal blues adaptation of John Masefield’s 1907 poem, part of the Dead Poets series where timeless poetry is reborn through stripped-down blues. This track keeps the focus on Masefield’s hopeful, plainspoken words—a call to seize joy, face hardship, and “better the world with a song.” A single guitar, raw vocals, and a steady groove let every line breathe, making the century-old text feel urgent and alive.
