Ring-A-Rosie was built from a beautiful riff Mike created. It turned into a tribute to our family and friends as thanks for all they have done for us.

lyrics

Sail away with me, dear
Through these fallen trees where
All the wasps and bees are listenin'

We'll sing your song again
Act your play, play pretend
Weave and wander, wonder will it end

Then ring a rosie
All through the companies we've come to need
You whispered little blue bird's melodies
They sing from the trees

Ring the rapture, tell the phone to say
We left this world and gone away
I can't take these tears much longer

So darling hold me
I hear laughter in the trees
She always watches me at night time

Then ring a rosie
All through the companies we've come to need
You whispered little blue bird's melodies
They sing from the trees

The bird that mocks these precious rings
Hears the sirens wailing
Beckoning toward the rocks they sing

A gentle lullaby its time to see
Mocking bird don't sing to me

So sail away with me
And we'll just forget the trees
Stop the wind degree we're turning

Row this boat with me
And help sing merrily
Ignore the love that is fading

Then ring a rosie
All through the companies we've come to need
You whispered little blue bird's melodies
They sing from the trees

Mocking bird don't sing
Mocking bird don't sing to me

about

Squawkabout Kildare, Ireland

A ferocious convergence of blues and folk executed through fierce vocals, eclectic percussion and driving rhythmic guitar. An acoustic setup with intervals of dirty, delightful electric fuzz.
