A fiery critique of power and control, exploring how the ruling elite have shaped history while common folk bear the weight of their decisions.

A poetic sea shanty that serves as an allegory for Borderline Personality Disorder, capturing the emotional turbulence of shifting moods and unpredictable tides.

03 – Ol’ Sleepy Joe Corruption

A rebellious anthem exposing corruption, betrayal, and political deceit, wrapped in a sea shanty’s infectious rhythms.

04 – Sea Shanty Kings and Peasants

A folk tale of manipulation, where kings control the narrative and keep the peasants in strife, distracting them from true freedom and power.

05 – Sea Shanty Lost Love

A hauntingly beautiful story of love, separation, and the changing tides of relationships that mirror the unpredictability of the ocean.

06 – Sea Shanty Lost Treasure – Halyard

A long-haul work song depicting the journey of a sailor searching for fortune, only to be deceived by love and left adrift.

07 – Sea Shanty Lost Treasure – Short Haul

A shorter, more urgent version of the tale, sung in the rhythm of sailors pulling ropes and fighting the storm.
