about

Hello! I was recorded and mastered to have a wide and expressive dynamic range, so at first I may seem quiet... Turn me up to hear what dynamic range can do to make music come alive! Better yet, listen with decent speakers or good over-ear headphones. Thanks!

Adapted from the Irish Song "Raglan Road" by Patrick Kavanagh.
Arrangement by Ryan Gregory Floyd.

lyrics

On Frenchmen Street on an autumn day
I saw her first and knew
Her auburn hair would weave a snare
That I may one day rue.
I saw the danger, yet I walked
Along the enchanted way,
And I said, "let grief be a falling leaf
At the dawning of the day."

On Rampart Street in November
We tripped lightly along the ledge
Of a deep ravine where can be seen
The worth of passion's pledge,
The Queen of Hearts still making tarts
And I'm not making hay.
Well I loved too much, by such and such
Is happiness thrown away.
