This is my 14th track in the series of releasing one track and video each month. It’s synth orientated and has a club feel to it, I’m pleased with some of the arpeggios I used, they are pretty quirky.

The story is about travel, boats, flying, countryside and feeling free, looking down on life! The flying scenes feature, this is the fantasy side of the track, which visually I think we represented well, they were also great fun to film.

The chorus is partly a homage to “What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor” which everyone has heard of at some point in their life I’m sure. I like the fact that I mixed it in with what is predominantly a dance track, taking the old and the new, which is effective.

It has simple lyrics and the repetitive dance style is definitely suitable for clubs and parties. I can’t think of any track or particular style to relate it too other than in my head it seems to have a 90’s dance feel.

The video was hard work to fit everything in that I wanted to include, the drunken sailor chorus shows how I see him in my imagination!

I am trying to get across the old and the new, plus showing the present day where I’m in the studio recording, which is a look we hadn’t tried until this video.

I can’t find an artist or track to directly compare this to, maybe it has a bit of a Techno, Pet Shop Boys kind of beat/feel  to it.

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I did writing, recording and filming it.

For streaming, it’s available as a single and as extended club version on all the usual platforms.

Thanks for listening, please consume my music !
