Rosalinda Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 OK. Just woke up after a night of dreamin' of the sea...and of pirates. Thought I needed some appropriate music, so I checked my CD library...what did I find? The Blessing is the band (William Topley ring any bells?). Prince of the Deep Water is the name of the CD. Popped it into the stereo...turned up the volume. Dogs watching me with terror in their eyes...God, I remember why I loved it so much....There's not a bad track on the album...and there's most definately a pirate mystique... Just a little sample from "Hurricane-Room" See me wistful in some harbour bar I tend the warm glass and the duelling scar I sing my misappropriation song for lovers land-locked far too long Oh come inside the hurrricane room......... If you don't have this...you really should get it. It'll make your ship rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalinda Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 Another few lines from the title track from Prince of the Deep Water.... There's a hole in the sky and the sun's burning down and the wind on the water fills my sails with sound there's a reef around the island but the coral is dead from the filth in the water and the things that you said But the storms of my memory still come to plague from time to time but don't let the Fisher King trouble your mind You count on the grace of the Prince of the deep water If you cheated in love that can sometimes shape your destiny Some fly with the birds and some with more courtesy You count on the grace and favor of the Prince of the deep water Yeah, this sets my sails......

Captain Cronus Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I hate punk music, but my friend sent me the song: Relient L - The Pirates who don't do anything. It's not historically correct... it's more of a humorous look at pirates. -Captain Cronus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMaryFlint Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Are you sure it's not Relient K? Never heard of Relient L... They did that song for Veggie Tales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Woman Cheryl Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Oh we're the pirates, who don't do anything. We just stay home and lie around And if you ask us to do anything We're gonna tell you...We don't do anything Mad Woman Cheryl By Odin's mighty spear, I hereby snap and go berzerk!!!"

Seahound Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 How about Dropkick Murphy's "Good Rats"? It's about a bunch of rats getting sloshed, but it has a line about the rats diving into pitchers "like a bunch o' drunken pirates, prepare ta walk the plank". Murphy's are more Irish Folk plus Punk, but they've got a rather swashbuckling feel in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosalinda Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 Hey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How about a band called WATERFRONT BLUES out of San Francisco?

suspition Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I used to like "Barrets Privateer's" byt great big sea, but now since I've heard other versions, I don't like it. has anyone else heard it? suspition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt Sadie Dread Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 It's tough to find, but totally worth the search. It's about 12 year old, THE POGUES - "Rum, Sodomy & The Lash". CHeck it out. You'll be feeling pirate-y after a listen to that, to be sure. Capt Sadie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackeye Susan Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I thought since there was earlier talk of the Pirates that don't do anything, I'd be makin' me presence known. If ye want some good modern music with piratey tendencies, check out Kilbrannan: http://www.kilbrannan.com/ A lost of Scottish and Irish, but Kirk's solo album, Eye of the Storm is the best one yet with some great old favorites and even better originals. If yeh have the means to see 'em live, I highly recommend that too. I was hooked after the first set. -Blackeye Susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Bassett Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 "Tell me quick" said Old McFee "What's this all have to do with me?" "I've spent all my time at sea a loner." "Is there something else I should know?" "Something hidden down below the level of your conversation?" Well he turned away before the answer Though I yelled aloud he refused to hear It became too clear So it went as we put out I was left in constant doubt Everything I asked about seemed private The captain strolled the bridge one night I stopped him in the evening light To ask him would it be all right to join him But he stood there like some idol And he listened like some temple And then he turned away All along the fateful coast We moved silent like a ghost The timeless sea of tireless host possessed us The wind came building from the cold northwest And soon the waves began to crest Crashing cross the forward deck All hands lost I alone survived the sinking I alone possessed the tools On that ship of fools ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ship of Fools Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band This mountain is mine!

El Pirata Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 My choiceRichard Wagner - The Ride of the Valkyries preformed by New York Philharmonic plus many others a good sailing song. You may have heard it from the movie Apocalypse Now. that version was by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra That was a good version to listen to. Really made that scene come alive. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
