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.
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.

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.
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...

Lovely. And I thought I was fedd up with pirates for the rest of my life after Depp and Bloom jumped of the screen. I was wrong. what's even better: this is not her only song! ;) awesome!
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.
OMG! I am totally addicted to this chic right now! I'm going to have to see a doctor soon as I just can't stop listening to this album. It's like crack-cocaine....only better! :-)
Hell yeah! Thanks to a friend at Above Top Secret got this song. Reminds me of the beginning of the Pirates of the Carribean: At World's End. We were never meant to be controlled. We are meant to be free! Free distribution of information, free distribution of thought, free distribution of endeavors! We are going to sing, dance, eyes WIDE OPEN!
My mom showed this to me and said I listened to it all the time when I was really little. It's nice to hear it and brings back memories

Unique sound. The shift into the deep "Yo-ho" voices is very effective. And her voice stands out on all her material.
Beautiful song,beatiful voice,I just discovered it today.
Alela Diane should be way, way up there with the stars. What a talent, what a beautiful voice.
this is special-its new and old at the same time
its a beauty..

Add another flame
To our forest
Where big bellied whales
Keep us chanting
We're slapping fireflies
For tiny dancers
Weepy children creep
Until the morning
When the sun does seep
Into our fair flesh
Until the fingernails
Will take us home (oh oh oh, mmm)
Yo ho yo 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

Revisiting this song, and it is bittersweet. Thank you Bob my kindred spirit, music loving friend.

Wonderful description :)
Alela's incredible singer. Love her so much
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...
J adore, quelle voix, quelle intensité.
💕🙋♀️
que bonito canta! y su mama canta hermosas canciones Rancheras y en espanol
!Que bonita familia! un saludo desde Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

No seriously, pirates are cool and so it's self-evident that this song is great as well.
She's pretty good. Anyone know any other great songs similar to this?
pieces of string and the rifle. ;)
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.

OMG! I am totally addicted to this chic right now! I'm going to have to see a doctor soon as I just can't stop listening to this album. It's like crack-cocaine....only better! :-)
