Hello Patrick,

 

One of the things we are trying to do in the coming months in Holland is create a Pirate Song/Anthem, that we might use in Dutch elections next year and our campaign leading up to it.

The general idea is to get a streaming website online that runs multiple audiostreams where the listener can, as if he were a DJ, switch between streams and create his own mix. He can sealessly move between styles and languages, it would still be the same song in the same speed and key, and fairly similar meaning words, but at the same time a fully different arrangement or language.

I've written an English text with chords, arranged to a simple sounding rock tune for now that I would like to volunteer to pirates from holland, sweden, germany, iceland (for starts) and see who would be up to the challenge. Recordings we use will need to be of a certain consistent professional quality. 

This could lead to acoustic arrangements, elektro, rap, funk, reggae, rock, whatever ‘your music, your tune' something like that.

I am currently on a short break, but I am online where I can and I am currently looking for musical pirates that would like to try participate.  Below are the words, I have a rough mp3 I could share also just not on me from where I am now.

If you know Pirates that would enjoy trying to work with us in volunteering their version of this, in a language and style of their own, please have them get in touch?

note; Inspiration of this song came from me talking to the Dutch campaign group about what our campaign is about underneath it all. Nothing is set in stone just yet though as we're still in brainstorming mode.

cheers,

Boil down to love

 

1 Nothing's left to hide uncovered

2 the old will lead them from behind

3 Bring the night forth all awake

 

1 there's a full moon's out tonight for lovers

2 the young have set the state of mind

3 have at that wind, half blown away

 

1 now pick your name and pick a fight

2 there is no left there is no right

3 we got sails to raise, no flags to waste

 

1 a full moon in your face tonight

2 just get your one eye open wide

3 now sail your heart and break the waves

 

1 get your facts straight, get em right

2 wear that patch on the other side

3 now sail your heart and break the waves

 

1 and have them run for cover

2 have them run for cover

3 and have them run for cover

 

chorus:

| put on the fire, take off the gloves

| let it all boil down to love

1>2, 2>bridge

Bridge:

When wandering the streets you feel, in the quiet part of night

this city's deep unconsciousness, gnawing at your rights

they stuck in every corner, steel-rod-mounted spies

that judge without indictment, through cold unblinking eyes

 

From deep within a pocket, it hears with ears that hide

records a private moment, all decency has died

 

No whispers of affection; no love or grief tonight

but you cannot see what's out there, through eyes that cannot cry

 

you cannot see what's out there, and it shouldn’t have to hide

may love be where you find it, it shouldn’t have to hide

may love be where you find it, it shouldn’t have to hide

bridge>3
