    POV: you walk into an abandoned carnival and suddenly this plays. No matter where you go, the sound neither gets louder or softer. It just keeps playing. Then, as you near a building that seems almost new, with the lights inside on, the music stops abruptly.

      @Brady HASH As you keep playing the song in the correct order, the sound of voices and atractions working begins to enter the building. Once you have finished, the voice of an old man echoes into your head "thanks young man, thanks for breaking the curse that fell upon this carnival and it's people"

      Same. But when I got older I've became interested in how they work. A lot of people think that the pipes that stick out the front or the facade if you will are the only pipes that make the music but there's a lot more that goes into ot than that. There are actually pipes enclosed in the organ box behind the pipes that you see or they can be surrounded throughout the church. So essentially you're playing one giant room.

    There once was a ship that put to sea
    The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
    The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
    Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    She'd not been two weeks from shore
    When down on her a right whale bore
    The captain called all hands and swore
    He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Before the boat had hit the water
    The whale's tail came up and caught her
    All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
    When she dived down low (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    No line was cut, no whale was freed
    The captain's mind was not of greed
    And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
    She took that ship in tow (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    Da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
    For forty days or even more
    The line went slack then tight once more
    All boats were lost, there were only four
    But still that whale did go (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
    As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
    The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
    The Wellerman makes his regular call
    To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
    Soon may the Wellerman come
    To bring us sugar and tea and rum
    One day, when the tonguing is done
    We'll take our leave and go
