Here's a snippet of a cover I'm working on of my dear friend Ryan Dillaha's song, Michigan Weather. (Go stream his new record, Closer To Better). It's been snowing this past week and we've all been feeling trapped, and this song encapsulates all those emotions. I'll be playing this song and a few other soothing tunes this Friday for Lullabies From Detroit at 10pm! Tune into the Facebook Live on their page, and have this clip to tide you over until then ????
A song about radical transformation, shedding the old for the new, and learning new tricks. Recorded via phone and ftp, April 2020. Audio Mixer: Alex Trajano, Video editor: Nick Hagemann.
Day 18 of #30SongsIn30Days a project to write a new song each day for 30 days. Sailing Days were a huge part of our family. #HeardInDetroit
On lower Lake Huron off the Sarnia shore
Powered by wind, no motor on board
I sailed alone when I was just fourteen
A simple sloop with a jib and a main
All the knots were tied, cleated and hitched
The bowline, the square..even the slip
My sister taught me how to see the wind
Feel the pull of tiller and the mainsail trimmed
CHORUS: Sailing days
Skipping over the waves
The western breeze
Feeling so free
Starboard or port
Plotting my own course
I'm going that way.
On sailing this day
This was my escape. my solitude
Sun in the sky clear water in view
Beer in a bucket from my dad's stash
Hand over the side just to feel the splash
Out here speed was measured by knots
Time had no conscience I carried no watch
No maps or charts to say way to turn
Only bathroom on board was right off of the stern
CHORUS:
I may have had a little too much to drink
The next part is kind of foggy I think
A hundred foot freighter heaved it's silent wake
Blowing it's horns like a small earthquake
I had better get the hell out of the way
So I could live to sail again another day
Helms alee we're gonna jibe ho
All hands on deck get ready to go
Sailing days
I don't know what to say
Almost capsized
A boat ten times the size
But I survived
And to my dad I did lie
That's just what you say.
On sailing this day
