    A Gallant Gentlemen, the opening track from We Lost The Sea’s third and most adventurous record to date, is a slowly building piece that gives you a just a glimpse of the tumultuous journey to follow. This is the perfect gateway to the heart wrenching ‘Departure Songs.’ The tracks tells the story of Lawrence Oates, an army captain and explorer who walked off into the freezing Antarctic night on a expedition gone wrong, in an attempt to give his life to save the rest of his team. He knew he had become a burden on his friends. He knew their chances of survival would improve without him. So off he walked, alone, into oblivion. An opening track to a record that is steeped so much in the ideas of life, death and hope.
    All music written and composed by We Lost The Sea.
    The title of this song is named after a painting by John Charles Dollman.
    Choir section composed and arranged by We Lost The Sea and the Mercy College Choir.
    Produced by Tim Carr and We Lost The Sea.

    While this song is cited to reference the self-sacrifice of Captain Lawrence Oates during an Antarctic expedition in 1912, I can't help but feel the song as well as its album are a tribute to Chris Torpy, their late vocalist.
    Every song bleeds an artistic dilemma, a beautiful void where Chris' voice should be, and each story enclosed is a brutal parable to his presence and departure in this strange reality we call life. This album speaks to us on a level that few musical endeavors can, getting to the core of what grief and meaninglessness can mean, leaving each posed question with a sense of beautiful confusion, a subtle chaos.
    Rest in peace, Chris Torpy, and may the music ring forever in the hearts of those you left behind.

    So I'm 16, but when I was super duper young, my family would play Band of Horses songs when I went to bed. Idk why, I just really liked them. This song has a super similar chord progression to 'no-ones gonna love you' by BOH! I know nobody really cares, but it's nice knowing why this song resonates with me so much today :)

      Yeah, it was identified in the movement that this is a masterpiece. I am a sucker for contemplative echo drifting off while the finger movements on the strings are audible, and the sense is that of boing in a room making music as if breathing were chords and seeing one another the voice resting in shadows of the pines. Beautiful build up in classic prog rock style which sustains and rhythm guitars and knobs come into the sound and there is a sense of perfection taking place. We Lost The Sea, thank you, this is beautiful and daring music.

    My gramps just passed away yesterday. This helps me release my emotions, as I want to be the strong one for my family. And I feel like I've hardened to the point where I couldn't really process my feelings until I went looking for something to help me let go. Thanks for this so much. It helped me process my feelings.
    Papa eladio, I thank you for every single thing you did for me, for raising me to be who I am today. Its very unfortunate that you had to go, especially the way you did. You didn't deserve the years of suffering, and in turn the anger you felt because it felt like your family wasn't there this past year. But believe me. Not a single day not a single hour went without all of us thinking about you, and hoping you would stop suffering. Not s single day. We all love you and will always love you. Forever and always. I've missed you for years.... so so many years.... I'm just glad you are now in a better place with all your compas. I will see you again one day. Just not any time soon. Please watch over me, my daughter, my fiancee, and the rest of our family. Let your iron resolve shield us from anything bad. Please. And thank you again for every little moment papa.

    When i first joined the army way back in 2019 i was miserable, i hated my life and every second of going through it a second time. Before long it was just destroying me. I was finally leaving to my first duty station and i typed, "finally" in spotify and this album pulled up. I saw "a gallant gentleman" and i tapped it. I never felt so much relief before in my life to just let it out was hard and i finally did. It was the best cry I've ever had, because for me it meant the start of my new life. It truly felt like the harrassment and bullying was all over. It was done. And i made it through this song helped me through it when i needed it most.

      Posting the poem so others can read it here
      A month ago the world grew grey fer me;
      A month ago the light went out fer Rose.
      To ’er they broke it gentle as might be;
      But fer ’is pal ’twus one uv them swift blows
      That stops the ’eart-beat; fer to me it came
      Jist, “Killed in Action,” an’, beneath, ’is name.
      ’Ow many times ’ave I sat dreamin’ ’ere
      An’ seen the boys returning’, gay an’ proud.
      I’ve seen the greetin’s, ’eard ’is rousin’ cheer,
      An’ watched ole Mick come stridin’ thro’ the crowd.
      ’Ow many times ’ave I sat in this chair
      An’ seen ’is ’ard chiv grinnin’ over there.
      ’E’s laughed, an’ told me stories uv the war.
      Changed some ’e looked, but still the same ole Mick,
      Keener an’ cleaner than ’e wus before.
      ’E’s took me ’and, an’ said ’e’s in great nick.
      Sich wus the dreamin’s uv a fool ’oo tried
      To jist crack ’ardy, an’ ’old gloom aside.
      An’ now - well, wot’s the odds? I’m only one:
      One out uv many ’oo ’as lost a friend.
      Manlike, I’ll bounce again, an’ find me fun;
      But fer poor Rose it seems the bitter end.
      Fer Rose, an’ sich as Rose, when one man dies
      It seems the world goes black before their eyes.
      Fer Rose, an’ sich as Rose, thro’ orl the world,
      War piles the burdens wiv a ’eavy ’and.
      Since bugles called an’ banners were unfurled,
      A sister’ood ’as growed thro’ orl the land -
      A ’oly sister’ood that puts aside
      Sham things, an’ ’and takes ’and in grief - an’ pride.
      Ar, well; if Mick could ’ear me blither now,
      I know jist wot ’e’d say an’ ’ow ’e’d look:
      “Aw, cut it out, mate; chuck that silly row!
      There ain’t no sense in takin’ sich things crook.
      I’ve took me gamble; an’ there’s none to blame
      Becos I drew a blank; it’s in the game.”
      A parson cove he broke the noos to Rose -
      A friend uv mine, a bloke wiv snowy ’air,
      An’ gentle, soothin’ sort o’ ways, ’oo goes
      Thro’ life jist ’umpin’ others’ loads uv care.
      Instid uv Mick - jist one rough soljer lad -
      Yeh’d think ’e’d lost the dearest friend ’e ’ad.
      But ’ow kin blows be sof’n’d sich as that?
      Rose took it as ’er sort must take sich things.
      An’ if the jolt uv it ’as knocked me flat,
      Well, ’oo is there to blame ’er if it brings
      Black thorts that comes to women when they frets,
      An’ makes ’er tork wild tork an’ foolish threats.
      An’ then there come the letter that wus sent
      To give the strength uv Ginger’s passin’ out -
      A long, straight letter frum a bloke called Trent.
      ’Tain’t no use tellin’ wot it’s orl about.
      There’s things that’s in it I kin see quite clear
      Ole Ginger Mick ud be ashamed to ’ear.
      Things praisin’ ’im, that pore ole Mick ud say
      Wus comin’ it too ’ot; fer, spare me days!
      I well remember that ’e ’ad a way
      Uv curlin’ up when ’e wus slung bokays.
      An’ Trent ’e seems to think that in some way
      ’E owes Mick somethin’ that ’e can’t repay.
      Well, p’raps ’e does; an’ in the note ’e sends
      ’E arsts if Mick ’as people ’e kin find.
      Fer Trent’s an English toff wiv swanky friends,
      An’ wants to ’elp wot Ginger’s left be’ind.
      ’E sez strange things in this ’ere note ’e sends:
      “He was a gallant gentleman,” it ends.
      A gallant gentleman! Well, I dunno.
      I ’ardly think that Mick ud like that name.
      But this ’ere Trent’s a toff, an’ ort to know
      The breedin’ uv the stock frum which ’e came.
      Gallant an’ game Mick might ’a’ bin; but then -
      Lord! Fancy ’im among the gentlemen!
      ’E wus a man; that’s good enough fer me,
      ’Oo wus ’is cobber many years before
      ’E writ it plain fer other blokes to see,
      An’ proved it good an’ plenty at the war.
      ’E wus a man; an’, by the way ’e died,
      ’E wus a man ’is friend kin claim wiv pride.
      The way ’e died . . . Gawd! but it makes me proud
      I ever ’eld ’is ’and, to read that tale.
      An’ Trent is one uv that ’igh-steppin’ crowd
      That don’t sling praise around be ev’ry mail.
      To ’im it seemed some great ’eroic lurk;
      But Mick, I know, jist took it wiv ’is work.
      No matter wot ’e done. It’s jist a thing
      I knoo ’e’d do if once ’e got the show.
      An’ it would never please ’im fer to sling
      Tall tork at ’im jist ’cos ’e acted so.
      “Don’t make a song uv it!” I ’ear ’im growl,
      “I’ve done me limit, an’ tossed in the tow’l.”
      This little job, ’e knoo - an’ I know well -
      A thousand uv ’is cobbers would ’ave done.
      Fer they are soljers; an’ it’s crook to tell
      A tale that marks fer praise a single one.
      An’ that’s ’ow Mick would ’ave it, as I know;
      An’, as ’e’d ’ave it, so we’ll let it go.
      Trent tells ’ow, when they found ’im, near the end,
      ’E starts a fag an’ grins orl bright an’ gay.
      An’ when they arsts fer messages to send
      To friends, ’is look goes dreamin’ far away.
      “Look after Rose,” ’e sez, “when I move on.
      Look after . . . Rose . . . Mafeesh!” An’ e’ wus gone.
      “We buried ’im,” sez Trent, “down by the beach.
      We put mimosa on the mound uv sand
      Above ’im. ’Twus the nearest thing in reach
      To golden wattle uv ’is native land.
      But never wus the fairest wattle wreath
      More golden than the ’eart uv ’im beneath.”
      An’ so - Mafeesh! as Mick ’ad learned to say.
      ’E’s finished; an’ there’s few ’as marked ’im go.
      Only one soljer, outed in the fray,
      ’Oo took ’is gamble, an’ ’oo ’ad ’is show.
      There’s few to mourn ’im: an’ the less they leave,
      The less uv sorrer; fewer ‘earts to grieve.
      An’ when I’m feelin’ blue, an’ mopin’ ’ere
      About the pal I’ve lorst; Doreen, my wife,
      She come an’ takes my ’and, an’ tells me, “Dear,
      There’d be more cause to mourn a wasted life.
      ’E proved ’imself a man; an’ ’e’s at rest.”
      An’ so, I tries to think sich things is best.
      A gallant gentleman . . . Well, let it go.
      They sez they’ve put them words above is ’ead,
      Out there where lonely graves stretch in a row;
      But Mick ’e’ll never mind it now ’e’s dead.
      An’ where ’e’s gone, when they weigh praise an’ blame,
      P’raps gentlemen an’ men is much the same.
      They fights; an’ orl the land is filled wiv cheers.
      They dies; an’ ’ere an’ there a ’eart is broke.
      An’ when I weighs it orl - the shouts, the tears -
      I sees it’s well Mick wus a lonely bloke.
      ’E found a game ’e knoo, an’ played it well;
      An’ now ’e’s gone. Wot more is there to tell?
      A month ago, fer me the world grew grey;
      A month ago the light went out fer Rose;
      Becos one common soljer crossed the way,
      Leavin’ a common message as ’e goes.
      But ev’ry dyin’ soljer’s ’ope lies there:
      “Look after Rose. Mafeesh!” Gawd! It’s a pray’r!
      That’s wot it is; an’ when yeh sort it out,
      Shuttin’ yer ears to orl the sounds o’ strife -
      The shouts, the cheers, the curses - ’oo kin doubt
      The claims uv women: mother, sweet’eart, wife?
      An’ ’oo’s to ’ear our soljers’ dyin’ wish?
      An’ ’oo’s to ’eed? . . . “Look after Rose . . . Mafeesh!”

    Listening to this at late evening while being on the rooftop and watching colourful lights of cheep lamps, watching moving bodies of people I've never heard of, I've never seen, I've never met before, thinking about my role in the universe, but then I hear my mum calling me to do my homework and suddenly, those voices move from my phone into my head.
    Thank you God, for giving human ability to remember the melody and the voices, so I can replay this in my mind anytime I want.

    This song feels like an entire trip man. Like it made me relive the entire Molly trip. It just made me feel like how you zone out absolutely in a fucking crowded, loud music space and look around and see so much commotion but feel absolutely still inside. And can feel every small sensation on your body, in your ears. I think you live in super microseconds for a moment. Like you can see the air dust shining in front of a light.
    Fuck! Made my morning.

  • @chechulnoms3158

    I found these guys randomly at the start of 2020 when I was WFH. I would put on whatever youtube Playlist I could find and go about my work day. One day their whole Departure Songs album came up on autoplay. I clearly remember stopping the email I was typing and looking at the artist so I could remember them. I loved the album so much I bought it on Google music that year. I knew the emotions I felt when I heard each song but when I found out that each song was written for someone or a group of someones I began to understand the reason why the music resonated with me and the emotions it emitted.
    It's now become my favorite album to listen to whenever I fly. When you're so far above the earth. Nothing up there but you and the clouds. Life slows down for a time and you can see just how small we truly are in the grand scheme of things. Running around from one moment to the next. Getting caught up in the busyness of it all. Losing sight of what's really important. Being up there and listening to this puts life back into perspective for me and reminds me that all my troubles and worries are so temporary.
    Knowing that every song on the album is a tribute to someone who once walked this earth and left their mark behind for us to remember them, helps me remember in those moments, so far from surface, to slow down and just breathe. To cherish my loved ones and the time I have left. To live life and love others. To enjoy every moment. Both the good and the bad. All of it. Because its all a reminder that I'm alive and apart of this world.
    To be given a chance to live the life I've lived so far and to be able to leave behind my own mark (no matter how small it may be) when my time comes is something I will never take for granted. And when I pass on to eternity, if the memory of me only exists for a brief time in the hearts of those I've cherished, I'll know that I have truly left my mark on this world.

    I discovered this piece of music in this lockdown, in between april and may, 2020 maybe. Soon I got addicted to it. Because of it's melodic and tragic kind of sound, it got me. The year was not the year to cherish, I graduated this year but literally missed my last days in college for lockdown. This piece of music literally gives me the peace blended with sadness and memories of college life. It's done now. This music has a vibe which can heal me. Love from Kolkata.

    At times I feel a need to express a tribute to music which moves me and I would like to say why but I can't - that's the way with it - it's beyond words- that is why it is the most sublime art form there is. I know nothing about the history - other than what is said here but the sound just enters the cortex as right - inspiring, beautiful and above all about human achievement beyond the dross and despair that sometimes our lives bring us to. Thank you.
