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.
