#original playlists#chanties and sea songs#okay this was going to be exclusively RNLI disaster ballads#BUT that seemed a little depressing even given my usual light and cheery fare#e.g. murder ballads child ballads shipwreck ballads revenant ballads y'know fun & frivolity#so you get a handful of heroic ballads and an ode to a horse to relieve some of the unremitting tragedy#you're welcome#RNLI
