The tune's origin?
I can smell the mossy peat of Ireland, and watch the
ocean waves crashing against the western shores of
the Emerald Isle.
That's only a guess.
It could also be wintry northwestern Scotland, on the
cliffs, the winds at your back. Played with the (bag)pipes,
bonnie lad, the pipes.
Or, It may be Erin, Wisconsin (just joking).
THE LIGHTHOUSE KEEPER, by British singer Sam Smith,
2020:
You've played your recordings magically, with simplicity &
warmth. You might try putting the single reed melody 1st,
then the double reed version. The single reed melody will
state the theme, set the mood, and the double reed melody
will embellish it.
(3-WAY) THE GOLDEN RULE,written by Biffy Clyro, 2020
for the USA comedy group, The Lonely Island, with
Justin Timberlake & Lady Gaga
I don't know if these 2 songs have the same melody. I don't
know if the listed composers wrote the tune(s) played on your
performances. The information was from Wikipedia, with no
audio or video playbacks.
Where the Lighthouse has a mysterious, moody and
"far-away" feel, the Golden Rule seems overpowered by
the human voice. We lose the beautiful melody, buried
under the lyrics.
You might try combining the 2 songs: use the single reed
melody as an introduction, then sing the lyrics solo, then
play the double reed melody.
