Shipbuilding

Can't believe you covered this. I love this song. The vocals are really chill and stable, and I think the cover you've done of it is a very sympathetic one. Robert Wyatt's version of this song made it to number 27 (1983) in new zealand apparently. I'd actually never heard it back then, but I was only 8. :) I didn't even know it had been written by Costello. Learn something new every day. Anyways, this is starting to sound like that TV programme, Pop up video! :)

I know Robert's version pretty well, and what you did with it sounds super good to me. Nice job old chap, really nice.

Ace, thanks Trish. There's no way I've got the chops to sing this one myself, even in a Robert Wyatt 'only using the melody as a guide' kind of way.

The framework was put in place by Joe and I only got involved once he sent me the piano and vocal files - it made it a fun project working within the limitations of what was already in place. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the NZ pop trivia :D
