A beautiful, famous forecastle shanty I first discovered and fell in love with in Assassin's Creed 4. Original track was specially recorded as a lullaby for Leigh Alexander. I then added the second track/harmonies and shared - Matthew S. Burns (@mrwasteland) then contributed the exquisite pedal tones and reverb, giving it a whole new shape and depth.

Interpretation taken largely from the excellent in-game shantyman; harmonies borrowed from the masterful The Corries (http://bit.ly/1aOWP70).

Infinifactory OST - Skydock 19

I was feeling stressed, so I picked one of my favorite chord progressions and wrote the happiest melody I could come up with. It was actually a pretty effective way of method of stress-relief.
