Create Breton Celtic folk-rock lyrics for a powerful clear female vocalist with a soft Breton lilt, paired with call-and-response group harmonies and playful mouth music segments. Music parameters: 92-148 BPM, shifting between mid-tempo and brisk an dro dance sections, D mixolydian / G dorian mode. Core instrumentation: bombarde, biniou bras, fiddle, nylon-string acoustic guitar, octave mandolin, bodhrán. Theme: A small coastal fishing village’s storm-won harvest fest-noz, imagery of salt-crusted wool sweaters, lantern light glinting off cider mugs, bare feet stamping splintered wooden floors, elders singing sea shanty fragments. Emotion: fierce communal joy, quiet reverence for the ocean’s mercy, unbridled celebratory warmth. Structure follows suite form with three distinct dance rhythm shifts.
Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] The wild Atlantic tore We brought the boats to shore Salt crusts the heavy wool The harvest nets are full [Pre-Chorus] Raise up the yellow light We dance into the night The ocean spared our bones Upon these granite stones [Chorus] Cider sweet and gold Warm hands against the cold Stories proudly told Safe within the fold [Hook] Dil-lo-la, the fiddle plays Dil-lo-la, through the haze Stamp your feet upon the clay Spin the weary night away [Verse] The elders start to sing Old songs of sea and king Bare feet upon the pine We trace the ancient line [Chorus] Cider sweet and gold Warm hands against the cold Stories proudly told Safe within the fold [Build-up] Hear the drum beat fast The storm is gone at last Lift the cup, turn around Spin across the dusty ground [Bridge] The sea is dark and deep It took our friends to sleep But tonight she let us go To feel the fire glow [Hook] Tra-la-la, the bombarde blows Tra-la-la, the cider flows Hand in hand we join the ring Hear the joyful village sing [Chorus] Cider sweet and gold Warm hands against the cold Stories proudly told Safe within the fold [Outro]
