It’s been a few weeks coming, but here’s the first of the new originals that I’ve been working on, Take It Slow. Feedback always welcome 🙂

Ellan Vannin

March 22, 2016March 22, 2016Chris SoamesLeave a comment

This is a traditional Manx folk song whose lyrics were written by Eliza Craven Green before the end of the 19th century and set to music by a certain J. Townsend. In 1998, it was covered by the Bee Gees, who were born on the island. The song was originally in 3/4 and I’ve left half a verse out for arrangement purposes; a little artistic license 🙂 “Ellan Vannin”, the alternative name for this track, means “Isle of Man” in Manx.

While I’m at it, here are a few acoustic covers of tracks I’ve been enjoying recently, including Ryan Adams’ “Lucky Now” & “O My Sweet Carolina”, “Something Like Olivia” by John Mayer and a version of Kelsea Ballerini’s “Dibs”. Hope you enjoy!
