This song grabbed me from the beginning, with your wonderful guitar which carried on all the way through, coupled with a great lyric. I wanted to find out what was going to happen next, not only lyrically but also melodywise and sonically. It was hypnotic in places. I now need a favour, I would love to see you playing this, just so I don’t have to spend too much time working it out for myself! I loved it.
Very moody and atmospheric. Eurydice! I love a classical reference
This is refreshingly different,
Really enjoyed it all, guitar, lyrics and voice
Really enjoyed this. As Simon said very moody and atmospheric and like Ian, would love to hear this live. Nice one
Great Work, Storms are definitely Reckonings
Well done
Excellent! Really enjoyed it, guitar, voice and lyrics all maintaining interest throughout. Fantastic!
Loved that guitar (Dobro or slide?). Some nice images – pillar of salt, the false sirens. The Shantyman line is excellent. I don´t know why but it reminded me of Michael Chapman (you have to be a certain age to remember him) and “Landships”. Love your delivery too and the way that long slide bookends the song
That’s quality right there!!
The intro/outro works perfectly also the story and chord work just yeah👌
Yeah, I reckon ‘The Reckoning’ is a great song – really reminded me of Nick Drake a bit!
Wonderful brooding atmosphere! Reminded me of June Tabor. I really liked the guitar sound and chords. Loved the line ‘here comes the reckoning’ and the sea references in the lyric. Enjoyed this!
I don’t think there’s anything I can add to what’s gone before other than I loved the delicious darkness of it. Fantastic response to the challenge!
The guitar is so goooooood here! The vibes are really cool all around.
Great guitar work. Moody. Dark. Lovely.
I found this very moving, Michelle. Your guitar accompaniment & vocals create an intensity I was totally drawn into. I found my own meaning in it & felt all the stronger for listening. “A good shantyman is worth four extra hands on the rope” what a great of climax. I could have listened to that part for even longer! Thank you. 🌊🎶
