While some folks row way up to heaven
I'm gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel
I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin'
I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open
Mm, mmm mm
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo, ho ho
Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho
Yo, ho ho
Sing The Pirate's Gospel
Add another flame to our forest
Where big bellied whales keep us chanting
We're slapping fireflies for tiny dancers
Where the children creep
Until the morning
When the sun does seep
Into our bare flesh
Until the fingernails
Will take us home
Mm, mmm mm
Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo, ho ho
Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho
Yo, ho ho
Sing The Pirate's Gospel
While some folks pray
Their path to Jesus
We're gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel
We're gonna sow our feet for dancing
We're gonna keep our eyes wide open
We're gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel
We're gonna chant The Pirate's Gospel
You'll find us clap The Pirate's Gospel
Mm, mmm mm
Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo, ho ho
Yo-ho, yo-ho
Yo, ho ho
Sing The Pirate's Gospel
Sing The Pirate's Gospel

Lovely singer, lovely song❤

[@alejandrorivero90]

I listen to this song and the first thing that comes to mind is a cabin in the woods, snow-covered conifers, a fire in the fireplace and sitting in an armchair having a hot chocolate while a snowstorm falls outside.

[@aeropro7558]

I hear ye...I'll see you there...sounds like heaven

[@patrickgelenne]

Beautiful song,beatiful voice,I just discovered it today.

[@EddyWehbe]

Alela Diane should be way, way up there with the stars. What a talent, what a beautiful voice.

[@r.m.strong]

Your singing carried me through the mountains of BC , from Vancouver to The prairies, a 27 hour bus ride, I had gotten stranded at the bus station off the ferry from Victoria, slept in the bus depo ,but got kicked out at 3a,m , downtown Vancouver, stood like a horse under a streetlight by the trees , sleep standing half waking. I had a trigger on the island , relapsed ptsd " caused by a two year long lsd trip from a overboard overdose " .. needless to say . An interesting trip home . Unable to describe on such a venue, but through the hell I was in , your singing was heaven sent . The haunted melodies, matched my haunted spirit . . In a strange way . I miss those sorts of times intensely. Like James Taylor said " I'd have to be some sort of natural born fool , to wanna pass that way again " , well maybe I'm a bit if one .
But no fooling! You've a magic voice . Your singing , your music , lyrics .. was such a gift to find , in such strange times .
Thankyou . You spoke to my soul. The pain and the terror of it , for a time . Fell into wonder and silent awe instead .
Many years later now , feels like . I've come a long long way since then . But I keep all the best parts of my life , the joy and struggles . Close .
Your music will always be a piece of the magic of my strange and hard to articulate life .
Is what I'm trying to say .
Really hope Alela gets this thankyou , it's from my heart and soul .
Life is a long strange trip indeed . Music sure helps on the journey.

[@tintosangre]

Unique sound. The shift into the deep "Yo-ho" voices is very effective. And her voice stands out on all her material.

[@scream62]

this is special-its new and old at the same time
its a beauty..

How could i miss this talented singer !

[@doodad77]

A clever composer too, those are her songs, her family a talented bunch yo ho yo ho😁

[@johncecilprice]

im totally on an americana done dark, sneaky & kinda creepy-vibe. and lo and behold, i go and find it by a happy-accident. this 25 year old is mixing modern-psych-folk, gospel & doing it all w/a compelling and deeply complex voice/vision of misery while she looks so wholesome. alela has such a darkly exquisite eye for narrative and a depth to her perspective that's huge. i bet this kid is gonna be just as big as her talent is someday. & she already seems to have a dedicated following in france.

[@tywheeler7131]

Wonderful description :)

La page sur Amazon d'un fort bel album de Moriarty (dont je pleure à chaque fois ou presque à l'écoute de "Jimmy") m'a amené à cette pépite musicale. Le genre de musique qui prend aux tripes. J'en suis à la énième écoute et ne m'en lasse pas...

Feather is not a bird By Rosanne Cash (Johnny's daughter). Sinead O'Connor would have many similar powerful songs. E.g. Mandinka'
From 'The Lion and The Cobra'. A brilliant album.
