When Lee Lucas posted a collaborative version of this song before Christmas https://soundcloud.com/lee-lucas/lee-lucas-mark-j-bennett-the-parting-glass, he suggested that I put out an open invitation for anyone to collaborate with the original stem. Of course, I appreciate that grafting any type of arrangement on to an acapella vocal track isn't easy but I'd welcome any approach. This is an Irish traditional song but it may well withstand a modern arrangement. The vocal stem has lots of reverb and echo on it but should you need a drier stem to work with, just message me and I can send a naked version. Also feel free to take some liberties with this should it lend itself in any other treatment. 

I raise my glass to those brave enough to listen to me tightrope-walking and also to those who might consider taking on this challenge. Cheers!


Of all the money that e'er I had
I have spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all

Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

A man may drink and not be drunk
A man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl
And perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ought to be
By a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass

Good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all

It’s an emergency!
Its an emergency!
It’s an emergency!

Its gonna make you toast !
Its goin' emergency!
It's a big emergency!

Let’s go swim 
Tsunami’s comin' in and it’s the perfect time!

You really oughta..shut your mouth!
But you really oughta…shut your mouth!

You running up the hill?
You oughta take a pill!
Let's hear your sheeple speech!
We’ll be here on the beach!

OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS
-------------------------------------

on our roots
in our
past
of friends and enemies
lost souls
and found
and found

those are the words…

but when did we, did we, did we?
yaad, yaad ayee (reminded, remembering)
deep and deepening

past friends and enemies
lost souls and found
and found

those are the worlds…

sounding whole
fill up enough enough

those are the words
swallow you whole

friends and enemies lost souls 
and found

Featuring the wonderful violin sounds of Themis Nikoloudis, may everyone enjoy this interesting rendition of "Afro Blue" (written by Mongo Santamaria in 1959).
It's been about four years since the last time I collaborated with Themis, so I'm happy he was able to join me on this project!

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
