Sung and played with gusto! Power to your elbow,sir.

Wonderful seafaring ballad.  Full of Irish flavor in performance.

A great Irish sounding tune, drinking, fishing and just having the crack . Enjoyable listen 👍

Enjoying the nautical themes of your music, fun traditional sounding style!

Dynamics? Who needs Dynamics.. start loud and get even louder, that's what I say... well I say that every now and then. I just enjoyed banging on guitars and the like for this one. Been a while since I belted one out. 

I'm not sure why this ended up like this.. it could have been a very gentle song about an old man... but that chorus just seemed to demand a big performance.. .. I hope its not too much.


HAUL

Come listen to his story,  take heed of his tales
How the sea raged against them and how they prevailed.
Bringin’ home the catch,  then back to sea once more
Leaving torn nets and the broken men to wait on the shore

He remembers the names and faces of those that never came home
And he weaves them into stories, so their souls don’t sail alone
but can crew with the Heroes, as he retells old myths
Conjuring storyteller’s magic from firelight and mist

But they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one
He’s the land locked old, they fear to become.

So, haul the nets & hope my boys, Haul the nets and pray
For the sea she does not care for you, She gives but she takes away.
Haul the nets and pray for fish, Haul the nets and believe.
Oh the sea does not care for you, leaves families to grieve.

Through these myths and legends, he can teach the young
And he hope’s they’ll know the lessons when their own perils come
So listen to these stories and take heed of these tales,
For sea, she ever rages, yet we will prevail

Still they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one
He’s the land locked old, they fear to become.

So, haul the nets & hope my boys, Haul the nets and pray
For the sea she does not care for you, She gives but she takes away.
Haul the nets and pray for fish’ Haul the nets and believe.
Oh the sea does not care for you, leaves families to grieve.

Still they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one
He’s the land locked old, they’re damned to become.

Something Memorable is Sean Doran's SoundCloud Name. 

Hi there. Go on.. push a play button and re-post something....while you read....

I've been on Soundcloud since Dec 2011 and it still amazes me how this community has helped me to improve my music and continue to write and play. It's the balance between the making music and the listening to the inspiration that the rest of you create, that makes it work. Thank you for sharing and thank you for listening.

I'm song writer and singer, continuing to learn and play, create and expand my capabilities. I'm very happy to write and record with others here on Soundcloud, I've enjoyed the collaborations that I've been involved with and they are where I learn the most. So, if you want a lyric or a vocal or fancy trying to collaborate on a complete track please let me know. 

My songs tend to be lyrics driven and my lyrics tend to come from ideas hinted at by words or phrases I hear or read. Once I'm writing I tend to start off in one direction and soon find the lyrics choosing their own. No matter how hard I push towards that pop, chirpy track.... I tend to come back something a little slower. Through I've been experimenting more lately. 

I truly believe everyone can write and should give it a go and so I'm happy to work with anyone.

I'm currently recording a combination of N2 pencil mics for acoustic guitar and a Aston Original mike for vocal. I have an M-Audio interface to my Mac and Logic X.

Born in Belfast, N. Ireland, but currently living and working from (Malaysia, India, Netherlands)North Norfolk in the UK.

I hope you'll like some of what you hear and that you'll leave a comment. Even if you don't like it, I'd love to hear why and what would make you listen again. Your comments make me better. 

शुभ कामनाएँ

Sean
