about
This is a back catalog release.
A sort of nursery rhyme / celtic thingy played on mandolin that may appeal to fans of Syd Barrett, Jack White "We're Going To Be Friends", and Rolling Stones "Lady Jane / She's A Rainbow / Dandelion" psychedelic Brian Jones era. There's a little Pete Townshend style strumming going on in there as well.
The audio was captured from this video performance which you can watch here: youtu.be/Xi6PRzgJjfI?si=jOKDljrUSqWWzIG7
(originally released August 2019)

lyrics
Mother’s a tailor, she sewed my black stretch jeans,
And father’s a sailor, he sails the stormy seas,
And we live in a castle high above the trees
Yes, we live in a castle high above the trees.
Brother’s a painter, coloring the town,
And sister’s a princess, twirling in her gown,
And we live in a castle high above the ground
Yes, we live in a castle high above the ground.
Baby is sleeping in an angel’s wings,
And I begin dreaming whenever my love sings,
And we live in a castle that’s fit for queens and kings
Yes, we live in a castle that’s fit for queens and kings.
And father’s a sailor, he sails the stormy seas,
And we live in a castle high above the trees
Yes, we live in a castle high above the trees.
Brother’s a painter, coloring the town,
And sister’s a princess, twirling in her gown,
And we live in a castle high above the ground
Yes, we live in a castle high above the ground.
Baby is sleeping in an angel’s wings,
And I begin dreaming whenever my love sings,
And we live in a castle that’s fit for queens and kings
Yes, we live in a castle that’s fit for queens and kings.

I saw Alvvays open for CourtneyBarnett 2016 'n checked out this album that week on Spotify, made me a fan for life. They make brilliant records if you ask me. Great vocals, songs, guitar parts.

The original release without the last two tracks. Sloan is hecka-talented, I'd say he's the next Paul McCartney. I'm grateful to find a young artist/producer so inspiring, good natured, and melodic.
