Lonely Sea 04:44
Salt stings my lips, as the waves rock Against the edge, in around my head Feel I could go around on this trip No end to be seen, no end to be blessed As the waves rock on forever They mock my endeavours The sirens sing that I am lost, they sing me a forgotten song Never again will I leave you Not for glory, not for gold It serves me right, to sail this lonely sea that forever will hold me Seaweed sours the air How long I've been voyaging, I couldn’t say A thousand nights or twenty sunsets Or one endlesss day, that I will pay? As the waves rock on forever They mock my endeavours The sirens sing that I am lost, they sing me a forgotten song Never again will I leave you Not for glory, not for gold It serves me right, to sail this lonely sea that forever will hold me Oh she haunts me, oh she holds me. She’s taken me, taken me for my greed She’s taken me from my love She's taken me for my greed As I cling to your, I cling to your memory As the waves rock on forever They mock my endeavours The sirens sing that I am lost, they sing me a forgotten song Never again will I leave you Not for glory, not for gold It serves me right, to sail this lonely sea that forever will hold me

about

Lake Michigan is a collection of songs written and produced by Niamh Keane with the help of wonderful friends who added their musical talents to the arranging and performance of the tracks.

Recording was done in April, 2019 with studio engineer Julie McClarnon (Lankum, Brigid Mae Power) of Analogue Catalog Studios. By recording live to tape, Julie helped us capture an honest and raw performance of the songs in real time.

All songs except Lonely Sea were then mixed and mastered by Ciarán Lavery and Danny Ball of Oil Tape Studios.

Special thanks to Chris and Graham of the Production Suite for providing
a creative space to bring Lonely Sea alive and for recording and producing the extra layers for the song. Lonely Sea was mastered by Richard of WAV Mastering.

My love and thanks goes out to everyone involved in the making of this record and to all those who have offered their support and love to me along the way.
