Join us as we take a relaxing cruise around the Delfino Islands. This area is rich with history, so keep your eyes peeled you may recognize more than a few sights and sounds!
Please remember to keep your hands, tongue, and tail inside the boat at all times, and watch out for stray cheep cheeps.
a song about toy boats
look! its the amazon, sprawling and green
and theres myanmar above the andaman sea
near the gulf of bothnia, theyre having a ball(tic)
now hold onto something cause here goes niagara falls
its in between lake erie and ontario too
now lets go to the galapagos right next to peru
and if you dont think the po is earths natural smile
then you better head to egypt cause youre in denile
im sailing on the ocean
floating through the seas
drifting with the wind
and blowing on the breeze
my worldwide journey has only just begun
and i wont stop sailing until bathtime is done
wow! what a sight down in cabo verde
and is that the swan river? cause the view is perth-ect
we can hit the marianas trench to conquer our fears
and lets see the aral sea before it disappears
the niger river is the place to gao
and the orinocos really got a new age flow
and after the cabana where the drinks are on me
lets head to polynesia like were on the kon-tiki
Them boats not getting much use, dwelling on the past.

No lyrics text on this one. She made them up on the spot after looking at the pictures for a few seconds and sung them with no pitch or time reference!
small boats
small boats
small boats yeah
done 100% with the soundfonts from chrono trigger
Are we not kids no matter our age? Do we not love adventure, even if only in a controlled environment?
Out of ideas lol, so i covered a Ravel composition. Probably my favourite piano composition alongside maybe Doctors Gradus Ad Parrnausseum from Debussy
Can't say much in the AM, so enjoy it.
BOATS
With apologies for weird mixing. But theme.
Surfing the synth waves on a boat I mean ship.
This song is a HOT MESS of all kinds of stuff.
It features: tempo changes, a key change, minor key stuff, major key stuff, AND a time signature change and like what the hell is even going on here
This probably sounds a lot creepier than I intended
A vessel floats along so gently past the pier
But then I see its not big as it appears
We take it all for granted, what we see and hear
But then we act surprised as soon as it is near
I had a closer look
That was it took
I had a closer look
By the flowing brook
I chanced a meeting with a lovely little face
But then she wandered off, just gone without a trace
Years went by before revisiting that place
Had she come back? I swore it might had been the case
I had a closer look
That was it took
I had a closer look
By the flowing brook
Had a closer look
That was all it took
Had a closer look
But I mistook
My spirit floats away, no longer tied to being
A life that ended, body cast away and free
Did I die, or was I still within a dream?
A closer look discerns so little left to see
