about
Song is an homage to first nation drum circle rhythms, combined with a reference to the novel "The Phantom Ship". The Phantom Ship (1839) is a Gothic novel by Frederick Marryat which explores the legend of the Flying Dutchman.
For musical composition, I typically use an iterative process. For this song, I did something different. I composed the rhythm of the vocals early on. I had concepts for the verses, but no specific words. I waited until all the other musical parts (E.G. guitats, bass, drums) were not only written, but recorded. I then started a process to compose the full lyrics.
My process was, ad lib words for a single verse. Adjust the words to fit the rhythm ( and what I could ennunciate). After a few verses, I decided on a verse structure. Each verse contains 2 sections. The first section describes what is going on in the physical world. The second second describes what is going on mentally and emotionally.
There is no vocal chorus for this song. There is a chorus, but it's instrumental.
