Huge congratulations to Suzanne for winning The March Competition. Also the runners up and all the other entrants. It was good fun.
My song this month is about a young lads innocent aspirations for a life of adventure upon the seas.

Quite refreshing to hear a rock song on TisT! Great energy. Nice backing. I bet you would have rather used an electric guitar 😀. Quite catchy too. Well done.
Hi all
Here are the lyrics
Jack Tar Dreamer
I’m gonna board my ship and sail away
It’s time for me to lead my heart astray
Trust my karma and the sea
That’s gonna be the life for me
Unfurl my sails with hopefulness
I can only do my best
Without a plan for gain or recompense
I know that’s gonna be the real test
Chorus
I’ll search the seven seas
Five oceans too
Every river and valley
Cresting a wave of hello’s
And ride that wave wherever I go
I’m hoping there will be
A boatload of love for me
Chorus
I’ll search the seven seas
Five oceans too
Every river and valley
And when I return all anchors weighed
That will be the end of my sailing days
Turn my back on adventure and its charms
Happy just to hold you in my arms
Chorus
Cause I’ve searched the seven seas
Five oceans too
Every river and valley
I’m happy to be with you
Just happy to be with you
Phil – Nice song with great energy in the lyrics and instrumentals. In the end “Just happy to be with you” says it all.
Catchy cool!
Always look forward to your contribution, probably because it’s something I could never write. Very strong.

Enjoyable song – nice foot-tapping rhythm, well-arranged, and refreshingly different from most things on TisT.
Yeh, love it – good and rocky – I do have guitar envy now though!
Lively, catchy enjoyed that, a lot going on, nice song.
Nice bit of rock going on there Phil. Great tempo nice playing
Really enjoyed that, kind of The Who meets Jethro Tull, fantastic!
Rockin’!
Thanks for all the lovely comments gang. Already looking forward to the next challenge 😁❤️
Really enjoyed this. Bit of a Happy Mondays and Stone Roses vibe in there. Very cool! 👍
A 60’s Laurel Canyon vibe for me. Fun!
Fab indie vibe. Great use of metaphor and that pause was really effective.
I’m going to get some drums or percussion in on my future efforts. Sadly I’m really rubbish at folk so this is a kind of great cheeky vibe I like.

That’s what I love about TisT. The variation of styles. It might be boring if we all did exactly the same thing. It’s all good to my mind. Viva la difference 😁👍
Great rhythm & energy, Phil. Interesting lyrics too. I particularly like “Cresting a wave of hello’s And ride that wave wherever I go ”.
Your capture excitement & adventure in your song and it creates such a happy vibe. 🌊🎶
Nice one Phil, hearing all sorts of 60’s, 70’s and Indie influences in that one. Loved it.
