Steam Powered Giraffe Blind Minstrel's Ballad Comments
  1. T.... A....

    Is The Jon singing this?

  2. W.... T....

    There's one for Captain and one for Airheart … but what about Rex Marksley??

    W.... T....

    Warrior The Amazon Rex is too “awesome” for that.

  3. S.... G....

    The old nan in the picture is holding the guitar the wrong way around.

    S.... G....

    That's how left handed people hold guitars

    S.... G....

    Nah, he's just holding the guitar in the left-handed style

  4. D.... 3....

    can anyone tell me what that one song was on album one that miss upgrade sang?

  5. J.... Z....

    I really like these older songs/bits, love you guys!

  6. H.... ....

    I thought goggles and the guy with long hair left

    H.... ....

    goggles is rabbit and the one with the long hair is the jon

    the jon left but rabbit just transitioned into a girl

  7. L.... ....

    I was wondering if you guys will ever be coming to Colorado because it would be absolutely amazing to see you live!!

  8. O.... E....

    I named my pet fish captain Albert Alexander <3

  9. S.... ....

    Another song that I Love, this is my second favorite Micheal Reed song, my first is make believe, once again look forward to seeing all of you in May-GearBox

    S.... ....

    SlackJaw This is not Michael Reed. Twas written by David and sung by (I believe) Jon (I at first thought it was Bella, but after listening to it a lot of times in a row, I think it’s Jon).

    S.... ....

    I love Michael, though. 😊

  10. E.... D....

    I''d love to think that the Blind Minstrel was actually a very elderly Captain Albert, who didn't actually perish in the sea, but was washed up on some island. One can only assume and dream!

    E.... D....

    +Emily Douglas I imagined the same thing! After seeing the old blind minstrel...(GASP) what if that's him!? O_o

    E.... D....

    +BlinkinFirefly wouldn't it be amazing!?

    E.... D....

    ​@Ezra Davis although you commented it two years ago, it would be super sad if his whole story is him just making up what he wished happened, like getting famous, instead of just being another assumed death of a navy man. And, the walrus and pirates, and giant octopus were all exaggerations of what really happened while he was on the sea.

  11. B.... ....

    Ugh, I can't stop listening to this, even though its short. I wish I wasn't so poor so I could just get all the albums. Those clashing chords at the end! SO beautiful (heart breaks)

  12. L.... ....

    WHos the blind Minstrel!? Lets bring our minds together and figure this out

    L.... ....

    Here's my guess: he was either one of the people who heard of Albert's stories, or he was one of his crew

    L.... ....

    +Adam Price OR!....Captain Alexander himself!...with amnesia!

    L.... ....

    @BlinkinFirefly DUn DUn DUUUUUUUUN :D

  13. S.... ....

    One stewpeed don't like the sound of waves

  14. A.... S....

    Whatever happened to the fellow in the bottom right of the album picture? I know the other two but who's that fellow?

    A.... S....

    @BlinkinFirefly Thank you dear madame for the insightful revelation and I too love Hatchworth very much :D

    A.... S....
