I’m kind of disappointed I’ve never come across this site CallMeIsamael.org before. It’s where blogger and musician Patrick Shea has endeavored to write a song about each chapter of Moby Dick. It looks like he’s been going at it since about October of last year.
Patrick doesn’t seem to be releasing his songs in any particular order. Each tune is usually accompanied by a brief description of the chapter, Patrick’s interpretation of it’s meaning, the lyrics to the song, as well as an actual sound file.
It looks like Patrick also performed at the recent Mystic Seaport Moby Dick-a-thon. Hate that I missed it.
Today he released his lyrical and musical interpretation of Chapter 24: The Advocate. Go check it out – it’s everyone’s duty to support a man who loves Moby Dick so much he’ll write a song about every chapter.
