Haul (Something Memorable)

Dynamics? Who needs Dynamics.. start loud and get even louder, that's what I say... well I say that every now and then. I just enjoyed banging on guitars and the like for this one. Been a while since I belted one out. I'm not sure why this ended up like this.. it could have been a very gentle song about an old man... but that chorus just seemed to demand a big performance.. .. I hope its not too much. HAUL Come listen to his story, take heed of his tales How the sea raged against them and how they prevailed. Bringin’ home the catch, then back to sea once more Leaving torn nets and the broken men to wait on the shore He remembers the names and faces of those that never came home And he weaves them into stories, so their souls don’t sail alone but can crew with the Heroes, as he retells old myths Conjuring storyteller’s magic from firelight and mist But they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one He’s the land locked old, they fear to become. So, haul the nets & hope my boys, Haul the nets and pray For the sea she does not care for you, She gives but she takes away. Haul the nets and pray for fish, Haul the nets and believe. Oh the sea does not care for you, leaves families to grieve. Through these myths and legends, he can teach the young And he hope’s they’ll know the lessons when their own perils come So listen to these stories and take heed of these tales, For sea, she ever rages, yet we will prevail Still they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one He’s the land locked old, they fear to become. So, haul the nets & hope my boys, Haul the nets and pray For the sea she does not care for you, She gives but she takes away. Haul the nets and pray for fish’ Haul the nets and believe. Oh the sea does not care for you, leaves families to grieve. Still they won’t hold his eye, as they board one by one He’s the land locked old, they’re damned to become. Words and Music by Sean Doran
