Drunken Sailor//Sea Shanty IN A STAIRWELL 

I’m so very grateful to the people who built these stairwell

Me: I think I’m not terrible at singing Lauren: oh you sweet summer child

You know what's super trippy? Playing this video twice using two different tabs except one of the tabs is slightly delayed it kind of cuts off in one tab and starts in the other. Filled my ears with Lauren's mesmerising voice and I loved every second of it!

Me: Whats included in the utilities each month? Leasing office: We have a woman who sings in the stairwell.... Me: I'm sold.....

Lauren would be an ideal cast member on the new LOTR Amazon series. Lauren’s striking elvish beauty coupled with the voice of an Angel would be a great asset for that series….x

It’s weird. I can literally still hear this in my head like it’s out loud. Thought the video restarted, but no, she’s just so crystalline that my ear worm is a live concert.

Am I hearing overtones when she sings “way hay up she rises”? That’s freaking amazing my ears can’t get enough of it!

I can only imagine what a drunken Lauren sounds like. Seriously though, this is great (just like your other videos).

This has soo much potential, that voice with a full orchestra, massive bass drum = could be a massive hit of a revamped classic 🔥

OMG, I sang this 30 years ago in high school and I've never forgotten it. Thank you for this BEAUTIFUL walk down memory lane!

Easily my favourite video you've ever done. Your tone here is GORGEOUS.

I came to listen to an old Irish song and now I am in love... great, just great

My depression doesn't stand a chance when LP sings

Good lord, that reverb making it sound like there are 3 different harmonies going on at the same time during the "wey hey and up she rises." Chef's kis gold.

Love this and this version makes it sound more epic

I love this song! It's so catchy, plus it gives you practical advise on disciplining inebriated mariners.

This is simply amazing. Have been singing this song for 50+ years, since my dad taught it to us as kids. Somehow it sounded way different back then, must have been our bellowing and hollering. He was a Korean War era Marine. Thank you for recording this. Brought back fond memories.

They played this when I graduated US Navy boot camp in 1986. You just took me back 30+ years Lauren. Thank you for the smile.

I remember singing this on the playground when I was like 5! Seeing it blow up was so nostalgic for me but this version just blew me away!

You're so talented and I dig the jig. Keep our ears and spirits up in these trying times. We're here for it!

It's 4:06 am here in South Carolina and I'm listening to Lauren sing and my day just got better. Thank you Lauren for sharing your angelic voice with us.

Yesss!!!! Get it girl!!!!

Great acoustics. The reverb makes it sound like more than one singer. Amazing

Such a beautiful voice 🤩 the reverb adds to it as well :)

Imagine hearing this walking down the stairs 🎉

Neighbours: "SHUT UP ALREADY! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP!"

It'd be nice to hear "Ten Thousand Miles Away"

WOW!! You throw yr body and soul into a song and turn it into a symphony!

Almost anything that she would sing would be an instant hit

I love the echo from the stairwell - makes it sound from far away, long ago. Lovely singing!

I remember having to sing this in 4th grade advanced music class.....circa 1978.😁...great job!

My favorite shanty! Listened to it all the time growing up. Best version I have heard!

Yeah, seeing a pretty girl sitting in a stairwell lulled me into thinking this rendition would be lackluster at best. BOY, was I WRONG! Excellent rendition, Lauren, you seem to understand shanties and foc'sle songs better than most! Keep it up!

Wow. It’s like the overtones ringing in the stairwell after the note she just sang create harmonies for the new notes she’s singing. Crazy. And let’s say, this little song is so often sung in the same spirit as something like “this old man” that it’s jarring to hear a deeply rendered version. Moving

Lauren: *breathes* Me: INSTANT LIKE.

Been there, done that. ROYAL NAVY!. None of you are sailors until you have served in the best navy in the world me hearties!

Love the pirate energy

Girl, you make it sound like that hallway echoes in harmonics! Perfect song for the venue!

Aah reminds me of Assassin's Creed 4😊. You nailed it Lauren🌹

Yo this is an absolute masterpiece

I've heard this shanty for at least 60 years, but this is my favorite rendition.

Awesome. Best use of the acoustic environment of the stairwell

The acoustics is outstanding with her voice.

I used to sing this to my granny. She passed away 4 weeks ago and I miss her so much. I forgot about this song. Thankyou Lauren♡

You have such a wonderful voice💕

That was badass beautiful I definitely felt this

Should do Drunken Whaler in this stairwell, the reverb effect of the stairwell would be amazing for that song

perfect song to find on rum ration wed. not the words i learned long ago but it will play in my head the rest of the week.

Her voice is super rich, which is one of the reasons we are all here every single time she posts. 🤣

Love the echo from the staircase. Heard several of her songs and they are bring the songs to the next level.

the fact that her neighbours maybe don't complain for singing in the stairwell. But if I had done this, they'd just start complaining.

I have got to ask this question: "When you do these stairway videos, do you ever get applause from people going through to their cars??"

To be a straight vocal song she nailed the acoustics of the location that is amazing and to put it in my mother's words after she watched a Celtic woman video very easy on the eyes lovely music thank you

I had a great teacher who taught us a LOT of these old songs in 4th grade and I didn't realize how precious a gift it was. Decades later, I still remember the lyrics, if not her name. Thank you so much anonymous teacher!

If I heard this in my stairwell, I would immediately start singing and dancing around

The acoustics in that stairwell are awesome! Awesome voice!

Would you please do more titanic covers? Specifically The Heart Of The Ocean? I love sea shanties this was awesome!

Wow, I love your version of this shanty. You are amazing. Beautiful job.

Nice! I'd love to sing and play guitar with you!

Idk why I need more of sea shanty!!

Me: ummm sounds pretty but what’s she saying Google: I got you Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? What will we do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning! Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Way hay and up she rises Early in the morning!

I will never be this good she is amazing at this

When somebody can sound that good by themselves acapella, you can imagine just how good they would sound with a band and a full production studio behind them.

Damn what a beautiful Angel 👼🏻 voice Lauren.

My new addiction... LOVE your videos!

If I lived in your building I would literally camp out on the stairs 24/7 waiting for you to come out and sing

Everyone gangasta till the whole apartment starts swaying like a boat in the ocean

The “wheeeey heeey up she rises” give me the goosies every time! I love your voice 😭

I feel like i'm listening to her in a forest with fairies and magical creatures😍💗

Breathing . I would have loved to hear that live. great

Wonderful! The stairwell gives such a great echo and sound.

Imagine this lovely person singing a Gallic song

Isn't it great when you find the perfect place to harmonize with yourself? Very nice, thank you

Three words, America’s Got Talent.

What a great song you have sung it's so real my head just now is over the side of the boat

Absolutely music to my head.

Love the effects the cement stairwells and cement block stairwells have on sound. I used to play my Native American flute in the stairwell at work on my breaks and it sounded beautiful. Love that sea shanty!

Lauren, I can only imagine how awesome your voice would sound in a medieval cathedral. 😊👍

Wonderful use of acoustics here!

Such beautiful singing glad I found you

her voice is so beautiful ima cry

Shiver me timbers! This a proper Sea Chanty!

right place at the right time!! awesome!

Omg I love this shanty!! ❤❤❤

I sing this shanty sometimes too. I liked your little personal touch on it where it goes way hey.

Absolutely brilliant 👏👏 you make me want to don my pirate outfit ⛵ and sail the Seven Seas... 🥇

Outstanding job, beautiful voice!

Absolutely amazing.

Lauren are so REMARKABLE can sing anything! 💕✨✨💕💕

Nailed it

I recently got obsessed with pirates and then you upload this 😁

We used to sing this song back in the late '60s in Melbourne Australia in primary school.

Why can't my neighbor's be this cool

What a simple concept so wonderfully performed. A Capella. The natural reverberation of the stairwell. The well timed stamp of a foot. And that sublime voice. Magical!

I only ever imagined drunken sailors singing this song and had no idea it could sound this good.

Holy echo batman, that sounds very pleasing to my ears. 😊

Wonderful! Rare for me to not kick straight into singing the lyrics to Óró sé do bheatha abhaile when hearing this tune.

When your whole party's under a siren song and the beautiful undine bard uses Countersong... ;)

thank you she good singer

I was waiting for one of her neighbors to open the stairwell door and shout “c’mon Lauren! Keep it down, I have to rise early in the morning!”
