[music style: Fast percussive acoustic folk, Ziggy Alberts style, muted guitar-slap beat, driving foot-stomp, catchy]
[Intro]
[Percussive acoustic guitar, fast muted strumming, energetic foot-stomp, Ziggy Alberts style]
[Verse 1]
[Fast rapid-fire palm mute, percussive guitar slaps, quick breathless delivery]
I never knew till that day in June
How the waters deep seemed to kill your mood
But, oh love, I can’t thrive on the shore
Oh you and I hummed different tunes
As the waves crashed down with loud intrude
But, oh love, it’s that poetic chaos I adore!
[Verse 1 Breakdown]
[Guitar cuts, percussive foot-tap beat, quiet melodic humming into spoken vocal]
And ohh-woh-hoe
If only I could remember the song Poseidonnn, sang,
I think it went something like
[Chorus]
[Explosive wide-open acoustic strums, driving percussive stomp-and-clap, soaring vocal]
Hey-ho, hear the timber-lines crack!
There’s a storm on the wind and it’s painting it black!
Black like the sails hoisted in your heart,
Oh there’s a storm on the wind coming to tear them apart!
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey,
You know you should run,
But I know you’re gonna stay…
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey
…yeah you know you should run, but I know you’re gonna stay (hey)
[Verse 2]
[Fast snappy palm-muted picking, rhythmic body-percussion, conversational delivery]
You brought an anchor to fight the tide
Watched the water lick my wounds from all sides.
But, oh love, salt-water runs in my veins.
Oh, you saw a baptism taking place
I only seen the atheist swimming in place
But, oh love, safety’s just another set of chains!
[Verse 2 Breakdown]
[Stripped back percussive foot-tap, raw unaccompanied humming]
And ohh-woh-hoe
If only I could remember the song Poseidonnn, sang,
I think it went something like
[Chorus]
[Full-blast acoustic strums, heavy backbeat guitar slaps, driving folk energy]
Hey-ho, hear the timber-lines crack!
There’s a storm on the wind and it’s painting it black!
Black like the sails hoisted in your heart,
Oh there’s a storm on the wind coming to tear them apart!
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey,
You know you should run,
But I know you’re gonna stay…
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey
…yeah you know you should run, but I know you’re gonna stay (hey)
[Bridge]
[Drop dynamics, ringing open-chord acoustic, building tension, quiet vocal]
We were down in the depths,
We were losing our breath,
On that hot afternoon...
[Total silence, raw isolated vocal]
In Poseidon’s June (he sang)
[Final Chorus]
[Maximum volume, fast joyful acoustic strumming, booming percussive stomp]
Hey-ho, hear the timber-lines crack!
There’s a storm on the wind and it’s painting it black!
Black like the sails hoisted in your heart,
Oh there’s a storm on the wind coming to tear them apart!
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey,
You know you should run,
But I know you’re gonna stay…
Yo-ho-ho, ho-hey-hey-hey
…yeah you know you should run, but I know you’re gonna stay (hey)
[Outro]
[Fast fingerpicking, percussive tap slows down, single sustained acoustic chord fadeout]
