A sea shanty for a ship, her crew, and the kind of loyalty that goes down with the ship. It starts dreamy on Monique's voice, turns into all five of us chanting, and ends somewhere weird and psychedelic. It goes places.
We raise our glass to the angry sky,
carry us through wherever we ride.From the lyrics of Ocean Mary
Four voice memos from the band, four ways to tell one song. Mo has the story, Eric has the voyage, Tyler has the writing of it, Valentino has the stage.
Ocean Mary came about because it's actually a true story. It's a folklore figure of New England.
Mo has the story.
It is truly a voyage. It takes you from a dreamy kind of Monique's voice starting it off, to a big old sea shanty of all of us chanting, to a weird psychedelic groove at the end.
Eric has the voyage.
How crazy it would have been to sail back in the day across the ocean without GPS. Twenty-nine crewmen, not only loyal to the sea, but loyal to this ship. Spoiler alert: they don't make it.
Tyler has the writing of it.
There's a pocket, there's a groove, and when it kicks in, it's heavy. You can feel the guitars, the bass, the drums, you can feel Mo. They love it.
Valentino has the stage.
Words and music: Kloewer, Sherman, Staffile
