Well the sea’s been rough, and times have been tough
And waves of waves keep crashing hard
These storms that whip and shake our ship
Wont break this crew of bards
If the masts should bend, we’ll make haste and mend
And keep this vessel strong
If the sails should sag, we’ll just hoist that flag
and together sing the song
(chours)
Blow wind, blow, it don’t matter where we go
If the wine it flows and the fire grows
we’ll make it through I know
So row boys, row, anywhere we may go
If the wine it flows and the fire grows
We’ll make it through I know, I know
In the distance we hear, a sound so clear
As the beautiful Sirens sing
A warning to all, beware their call
For death is all that it will bring
The sea will swallow any man that follows
The Sirens tempting song
So plug your ears and of the cliffs steer clear
And everyone, come on, sing along
(chorus)
Well I can’t count the days and it’s still a ways
Till we reach some solid ground
And with the anchor lost, we’ll keep our fingers crossed
Cos now there aint no slowing down
If the hull should bust and the rudders rust
No there aint no use in crying
As the ship she sinks, we’ll have another drink
And sing it one more time
(chorus)

A slow drip of Tropicália-infused psychedelia from New Orleans rock outfit Blue Basin: balmy one moment, aggressive the next. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 22, 2022
Driven by guitars that are by turns intricately melodic and gravelly, Kaz Mirblouk's sophomore album is highly enjoyable rock music. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 7, 2021
