What does Captain Festus McBoyle, the “pirate captain” who can’t go to sea, do every day now? Far away in New Zealand, the captain who stays at home has released new songs in succession. He uses the two singles “Breathe” and “This Song is Pants” from the new album to be released this year to tell you about his daily life~
In “Breathe”, the brisk ukulele is paired with the accordion, and the captain once again brings us a New Zealand-style sense of humor and joy with a very personal melody. Stumbled? It’s okay, take a deep breath! Flat tires? It’s okay, take a deep breath!
As a pirate captain, Captain Festus McBoyle is not immune to the daily trivialities, but despite this, he still maintains a positive attitude. Continuing this mentality, “Breathe” is even more brilliant, and was specially included in the editor’s selection playlist of the week by the overseas streaming platform Spotify.
And when you see the title of “This Song is Pants”, you may want to ask: “Why is this song “Pants”?
In fact, this is a “stalk” in English, and the captain introduced us, “In English, if you say a thing/a thing is ‘pants’, then you mean this thing/this thing is The level doesn’t work. “
In this way, the funny captain is using this song title to make fun of himself – using such a humorous “stalk” to tell the stories in life, although these stories always seem nonsensical, but it is also “pirate”. An expression of “mindfulness”: maintain the enthusiasm for facing life at this moment!
At this moment, every daily behavior may be limited. At this moment, what we can do is just as the pirate captain sings in the lyrics: take a deep breath, embrace the people around you, and gain the strength from music and company.
“Breathe” and “This Song is Pants” serve as the fourth and fifth singles from Captain’s forthcoming fourth album “Look Wot the Cat Dragged in” this year, showing a rich and interesting side of his The ancient and eccentric ideas of music creation, the whole new album, please look forward to it!
