    Recorded in 2010, in Micah Middaugh's (Breathe Owl Breathe) family cabin. I was possessed by whatever spritely thing lives in those woods and recorded this song while dog-sitting.

about

The very first song I ever wrote and recorded.
2004 or 2005, not sure.

lyrics

Let the seas seize you, let the seas seize you.

Seventeen year old sailor,
Rough-up swarthy stubble,
Drunken peg-leg stumble.

Seventy year old sailor,
whiskey-whispered slumber,
gave the wave your younger,
did nothing for you hunger.

Hardly hardened sailor.

I do believe Nora Hoagg helped me figure out some lyrics and some notes, although it was so long ago, I don't know which ones.
