I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned my super long sea shanty playlist (almost 16 hours!)

I'm reading the most recent installment of "Calypso's Closet on the Caribbean Coast" by @celluloidbroomcloset and there's a moment where the person cuing the music up for rehearsal starts playing "The Wellerman," and Ed's thinking he's never stripped to a shanty before ...

and I started remembering having the person I was kinda-sorta dating back in 2003 over and, how his response to my putting on a Great Big Sea album was along the lines of "I've never made out to sea shanties before." And yeah he was totally judging me but also he was free to elect not to make out with me if it was too weird, so I reached down into what I now think of as my reservoir of Stede Bonnet and asked, "Well, what have you been doing with your life then?"

#captain wedderburn is all about having to solve riddles so someone will kiss you #and i'm sorry but that's hot #'i want to be consequence free' is tailor made for kissing someone you probably shouldn't #we did not kinda-sorta date very long because even my insecure 20-something self wanted someone who'd appreciate my variety of weird #i rather love how much ofmd itself- and the art inspired by it- knocks things loose that i haven't thought about in a long time #and makes me think about them in entirely different and probably healthier ways #ofmd #great big sea #sea shanties #Youtube

“Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget

Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet

As long as a bottle was passed around, every man was feelin' gay

O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride!

They said it was a sin and shame, and they winked at one another

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief

Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street

They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole

Then put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

They said it was a sin and shame, and they winked at one another

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug

Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug

We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time

And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

They said it was a sin and shame, and they winked at one another

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon

They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon

They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime

Found out, when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

They said it was a sin and shame, and they winked at one another

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget

Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet

As long as a bottle was passed around, every man was feelin' gay

O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

That's how they showed their honour and their pride

They said it was a sin and shame, and they winked at one another

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!”

Fantasticly vast ocean

Significantly large lake

Substantially enormous pond

Notably huge body of water

Battle of the Fear Bands B2R2: The Corruption

The Chemical Worker's Song:

“Half Corruption Half Buried. A song about doing a job that makes you sicker and sicker as you work. And yet… you need the cash, right?”

Stalker's Tango:

"toxic love is very corruptiony"

Lyrics below the line!

The Chemical Worker's Song:

And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well, a Process Man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well, I've worked among the spinners, and I breathe the oily smoke I've shovelled up the gypsum and it nigh on makes you choke I've stood knee deep in cyanide, got sick with a caustic burn Been workin' rough, I've seen enough to make your stomach turn And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go There's overtime and bonus opportunities galore The young men like their money and they all come back for more But soon you're knockin' on and you look older than you should For every bob made on the job, you pay with flesh and blood And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go Well, a Process Man am I and I'm tellin' you no lie I work and breathe among the fumes that trail across the sky There's thunder all around me and there's poison in the air There's a lousy smell that smacks of hell and dust all in me hair And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death And it's go boys, go They'll time your every breath And every day you're in this place You're two days nearer death But you go

The Stalker's Tango:

I know, I know, I know this situation's strange It takes a little getting, a little getting used to Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me more Than you possibly can It's not that complicated, no matter what they say You'll never meet another me It's not that difficult to get your head around You'll never meet another me You'll never-never-ever-never ever meet another me I know, I know, I know I'm always in your place But don't you see, my dear? I am your Doppelgänger Have your faith so Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me Love me, love me, love me, love me more Than you possibly can It's not that complicated, no matter what they say You'll never meet another me It's not that difficult to get your head around You'll never meet another me You'll never-never-never-ever-ever meet another me Ey-ey-ah Bada-bam-bam-bam-bam Bada-bam-bam-bam-bam Bada-ba-ah Bam-bam-bam-bam Bada-bam-bam-bam-bam Bada-bam-bam-bam-bam Bada-ba It's not that complicated, no matter what they say I'll never meet another you It's not that difficult to get my head around I'll never meet another you

Gonna try to do this every other day or so to start a new thing. Shuffling my 74 hour playlist of All Hits and showing y'all some of what I got

I'm gonna give today's rotation a 8/10, it's really hard rock and nu metal heavy, but a good variety

The standout song from this grouping is Ordinary Day by Great Big Sea. It's a wonderful song, boosts my mood every time, and it's a song I'm allowed to play on aux! Give it a listen!

I'll see you next time on this new bit. Peace

In the middle of yet another re-read, I'm getting more and more convinced that the biggest problem with the Toby Daye books is the constant earworms, anytime Quentin needs to cast a spell. Or even sometimes just when he wrestles radio control away from Toby.
