Smuggler's Lullaby by Curious Elk

A traditional song from my home - the Isle of Man.

It's a unique lullaby as the story it contains outlines that this 'lullaby' is merely a masquerade, there is even a question of whether the child truly exists or they are merely a necessary fictitious element.

Behind these appearances, the song is a warning; a smuggler's lover alerting them to the excisemen drawing near through the singing of this faux-lullaby across the cove.



This track also gives forewarning to the journey of Curious Elk to the Underworld: "The Mountain in the Sea"
