about

"Riders Of Lost Arks" has its actual musical origin in jam sessions from the 2000s. I worked on it over and over again over many years, but until now the moment never felt quite right to complete it. But now for The Outlaw Ocean Music Project it was just the right thing!

lyrics

Studying weather maps, yellow splotches indicated winds over forty-five miles per hour. Red patches showed those blowing more than fifty-five miles per hour. The chief mate said “It’s okay to be in the mustard, we just need to stay out of the ketchup.” For the next days, it was pure ketchup.
The ship swayed back and forth, listing forty degrees and battered by fifty-foot waves. Below deck, fuel sloshed in the tanks, splashing through ceiling crevices and filling the ship with diesel fumes. A plastic drum tethered to the wall broke free, coating the floor in vegetable oil that bled into the cabins below. Half the crew was seasick. It was like working on an elevator that suddenly dropped and climbed six stories every ten seconds, a coin inside a washing machine, a ping-pong ball in a bathtub, a driver in a demolition derby.
Because you can’t see much outside, you never quite know when the next wave is going to hit and how bad it will rattle the ship. So your imagination fills in the blanks. Hours of lying around your cabin can drift into days, at which point the boredom becomes a danger in itself.
