Storm Weather Shanty Choir Official RU-vid Channel. Norwegian shanty choir celebrating 20 years in 2020. Here you'll find our recorded music, official and live music videos. NEW ALBUM to be released in 2021!
Such a beautiful song! And it also works wonders for putting my infant son to sleep. I'm not sure if it's just the tempo or if he finds this haunting melody to be as soothing as i do.
I live in a very mountainous region far from the ocean. But we have a gimmick in our friend group where my truck is our ship and I'm the captain where everyone has a role befitting a crew. I even have a jolly roger that says "Surrender the booty" on it that is tattered from flying it all the time from the bed! Keep rollin' the old chariot along!
Everyone else is here from The Lighthouse, but I'm here from the first episode of ZAMination's Fazbear and Friends, where Foxy sings a cover of this song.
From a professional sailor about to go on a 2800 mile round trip voyage to pick up a vessel in the Caribbean and tow it to the U.S., y'alls music will keep me in good company!
Cool to find another version! Loving this and the Longest Johns version, too. Neat to see how the lyrics change based on who's singing it and why. Pretty funny that, where I come from in the midwestern US, calling someone a hog eye is equivalent to calling them an asshole (especially funny since Iowans are known as Hawkeyes, so easy to hide if you get caught).
I’ve never heard it arranged in this manner. I’ve always heard it sung with a firey passion, very bold. But yours is unlike any rendition and gives it a deep, emotional feeling that is honestly very serene and wonderful. It’s great.
I love the dramatic take, both from the instruments and the voices! You know how to build up the tension that the lyrics have in them, a very worthy interpretation indeed. Shiver me timbers, t'is true me lads.
@@stormweathershantychoir7613 Aye aye. I think that a classy song like this one might do very well on the channel "A Pirate's Life" here on RU-vid, only in case you haven't thought of contacting them yet. I'm sure there are a lot more pirate and sea shanty fans like myself who would keep this track on repeat from dusk till dawn as soon as they heard about it.
Missed the last and best verse: "For quarters, for quarters' The saucy pirates cried. But the quarters that we gave them Was to sink them in the tide. And sure it was a sorry sight, And grieved us full sore For to see them all a drowning As they tried to swim to shore' !!
Been loving your music for years. I’m a young man from the American northeast who has made a living sailing the raging North Atlantic. My father was a navy man as was his brother, and his parents were Irish immigrants descended from Irish sailors who were descended from britons and Norsemen. The sea is in my blood. And even in these modern times shanty culture is strong. Among the commercial sailors. Your songs were always favorites on my vessels. Men still work the seas to these age old songs. And you bring those songs to life/ keep them alive.
A strange text which can be interpreted in very different ways. I’ve googled it now for some hour and it still doesn’t make any commonly sense. It could be about packing cotton before shipping. It could also be about some not very popular guy. Someone suggests it’s about the hardships aboard. Another one about how the main person is having sexual fantasies about his woman back home 🤷🏽♂️
@@stormweathershantychoir7613 forgot to say this, but I listened to the whole song and I gotta say I love it! I may have listened to the song on loop for a good 20 minutes or so 😅😅
