Up in the midnight blue,
That's where I'm going to
Up where the sirens scream
Through every misplaced dream
Up with the Pirate Moon

In bloody monochrome
That's where I'll call my home
Up where the stars will die
Before they can reach your eyes
Up with the Pirate Moon

Yeah, I'm going home
Yeah, I'm going home

Above the mirrored sea
That's where I'm gonna be
Up where the whisper fails
The scar tissue of vapour trails
Up with the Pirate Moon

Up in the cloud ballet
That's where I'm going to stay
I could just disappear
You cannot reach me here
Up with the Pirate Moon

Yeah, I'm going home
Yeah, I'm going home
With the Pirate Moon
With the Pirate Moon

This may be one of the only songs on the playlist that doesn't have that allegation in the comments.

Is it my mood, or is this sublime? She reminds me of Margo Timmons.
 
Her voice and phrasing are similar, but she seems to have more range than Margo does.

Pirate Moon is a wonderful song, so is "Juliet" from the same CD. IMHO, though, rest of CD is very iffy - aftr giving it a good try, I stick to these two songs and one othr "Eighteen Months"...

Again? I heard this track two hours ago. I'll take it.  That voice inclines me to fall in love with her. A lush and luscious sound it is. I don't much care it may have been digitally doctored because the whole musical aesthetic sends me for a loop.

First listen Most Excellent. 

Distinctive voice, very clear. The critics here can't hear it.

Good song, production, another gem floated by Billecca and RP.

THANK YOU. More of this, an antidote to the histrionics I carp about (Matthews, Florence, Natalie M).

IN THE POCKET.
