Silver Ships on the Sea, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

SILVER SHIPS ON THE SEA
Winter's call is calling
Through the leaves
You can hear the rustling sounds saying
Free me please
Said the seventh angel standing
Amid the trees
Say please come taste my simple wines
Please come to your rest

All along the stone strewn causeway
Serpents coil and hiss
Beckoning and whispering
Bowing for the kiss

See me and free me
Do which is best
Be me and free me
Do which is best
And there's a hundred thousand elves
Waiting in their boats of sunlight
Waitng and waiting for the rite
For the rite

Spring times are come again
And we are but men
Speaking and seeking
Beginning again
And you who stand on the border
Waiving goodbye
You wouldn't listen to their words
You recognised the lie

Come down to the sea
At dawn with me
Our boat is a bobbing and a rocking on the waves
How is it you look at me, is it how I you?
Are we agreed on our journeys being long due?
Being long due

And so the end
Was only the beginning
I rose to catch the sun
But found it missing
Loneliness oh loneliness
My only guide
A boat a-bobbing
Way out on the tide
Way out on the tide

Fun Facts:
* Silver Ships on the Sea was composed by Pok in the summer of 1984.
* It is a wonderful whimsical wistful tale with a drop-D in the guitar - 'Drower tuning'.
* We all loved this extraordinary song from the very first hearing and are very happy to be able to finally release this version.
* We feel it is both authentic to the original, as well as capturing the full spectrum of sounds as imagined and conceived back in the 80s.
* We invite the listener to feel the closeness of the festival crowd, and sense the dry ice and lighting on stage as the performers writhe and invoke under the moon.
* What started out as a pretty little acoustic number about the Elves leaving Middle Earth turned into the most uncompromisingly relentless piece of hardcore psychedlia one could possibly imagine.
* We had two attempts at recording the sea at Jacob's Ladder beach in Sidmouth, but sadly both were thwarted.
* Firstly by strong winds which rendered the recordings horrible.
* The second visit was thwarted by somebody's wretched dog, which barked and barked and barked for the entire time that we were there.
* It was unbelievable.
* It's probably still barking now.
* Eventually we downloaded somebody else's recording of the sea.
* It was a shame but it did the job.
* We had always imagined the flotilla of silvery elven boats waiting at the water's edge at Jacob's Ladder beach.
* Originally the acoustic guitars were played on a borrowed Ovation-style instrument, but due to technical reasons we had to re-record them all.
* The re-recorded acoustic guitar was performed by Pok on his Tanglewood, and there is some video footage of the recording which we hope to publish someday.

Dark Stronghold was formed in Kyiv (Ukraine) in the fall of 2021. The universe of the Dark Tower inspired the musicians to create this project. The multi-instrumentalist Desert Demon (aka Nihil from the band Inanimentum) composed music. Lord of Discordia (Serhii Klemin) wrote poetry and sung all the vocal parts.


Lord of Discordia - vocals, lyrics.
Desert Demon - all instruments.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.

Sirdsapes (Latvian - “heartache”) is known for his signature self-made "Hyper-breaks" subgenre & unique prodigious style in EDM, which truly is a wicked and one of a kind combination of the legacy of "golden age" breakbeat sounds, distorted nu-rave grooves and futuristic "hyper" electro rhythms.
