Description
Call this "NuCeltic". I started humming the tune on a train from Montreal to Toronto and it stuck with me for about a year until I layed it down as a lone guitar track. I used open tuning to get the drone but in my head I hear violins, bagpipes, mandolins and skin drums.
My people first settled in Nova Scotia (Canada) in the 1700s. They were of Swiss and Bavarian heritage with a dash of Native Indian thrown in to the mix. Not Celtic in any way really. Nonetheless, I love the music of the Maritimes.
Listen to this with closed eyes and imagine a windy seaside cliff overlooking the Atlantic. It is dawn and the sun has just broken over the horizon. The early morning dew sparkles on your boots like a thousand diamonds. You breath in the cold, clean air and are filled with hope and love for your new land.
At least that was my experience with this one. Enjoy.

Lyrics
none - but the music was inspired by a line from a short story I wrote which reads "and I began my journey with a pack on my back and dew on my shoes"

calls me to dance down it... very nice... A lot of fun, like the droning of
not-bagpipes here. Enjoyable music... but it does call for a lead over
it, some singer perhaps? Otherwise, it is backgroundy enough to be
good sundtrack music. Cool! Nice artwork too. Clean production,
light percussion sounds good and not annoying, as can happen from
something this long... nice breaks.
ttfn,
