When you’re watching something else on RU-vid and the next video is this, and you get the song stuck in your head for half the day till you have to come back and listen to it on repeat for a while before you can continue your day……
This is an amazing channel. I didn't know about you until I saw your "what happens when shanty singers play sea of thieves" video. I didn't know I needed this in my life before that. I'm for sure gonna start following you guys and binge all your other stuff.
Would love to hear you guys do a rendition of "Over the hills and far away". Either the George Farquhar version or (even better) the John Tams version. Great job guys.
Thank you for sharing your talent with us all! You are all truly magnificent. I have never donated before but after having a bad week you all put an smile that lasted throughout the duration of the stream. We are all instant fans! Cheers for you all! #seaofshanties Additionally, it occurred to me that you could put out 20 minute episodes. Some episodes could be encounters with other players like reaction videos. Another possibility is to make videos where you sing from location to location, not knowing what may happen along the way. Then once you arrive at your destination continue with the game. That way we get to experience your progression in the game and get to hear your amazing voices. Also it gives you the ability to have a schedule and be ready to sing songs. This also means you don't depend on other players for your content. Which is the one weakness of my first idea. Please consider these ideas. You have a gold mine here. A chance to be massive on RU-vid but you must act quickly. You are all talented and magnificent. I await your next video. Best of luck! Cheers! #seaofshanties
Missed my personal favourite verse* but still nice to hear you guys (and gal) do a song I know. * "a pint of rum for ever-y man walk him along... and a bloody great big barrel for the shantyman carry him to..."
Better that Steeleye Span's version! This shanty has the weirdest story, about Zachary Taylor Defeating Santa Anna in Mexico at the battle of Buena Vista. Why on earth British sailors would be singing about this is a mystery.
After reaching the bottom of the playlist for music videos, I think you guys should start producing shanties for D&D. People love shanties in general, but combining it with music that can be played during people's DnD games or just for enjoyment would, I think, be a big win.
I'm so glad I found your channel, amazing songs and personalities, plus love that you're into sea of thieves but most of all, I feel absolutely privileged to be one of the first few to see this video. Keep it up guys. This is just the beginning
Found you through Sea of Thieves but... I've had your voices in my head for a week now!!! I absolutely can't get enough of your singing. It's historical! It's beautiful! It makes me feel like a nerd (having been singing in one of my college's acapella groups) to listen to your talent :) Keep doing what you guys do. Seriously!
You continue to improve and mature on each rendition. That amazes me, as I thought you were perfect from the first time I heard you. It's an ideal vocal blend here... Keep it up!
I think it's absolutely tragic you fine musicians are all the way in England. I would love to go to one of your performances in person. Perhaps one day I shall but till then please keep up the amazing work. I love the music and the voices that make it. The stream was a brilliant idea and sorry that it didn't go exactly to plan but hopefully more will be in the future. : )
I really wish i could see you guys live, but quite an ocean separates us, and we all know how treacherous those can be. Maybe one day i'll find the time and money to say hi.
Can I just... have that bass? Your voices are all great, demonstrating that it's not only American voices that can lock and ring properly. I could listen to you guys all day!
I have to say, you are absolutely fantastic. I’d be surprised if you take requests, but just in case: I would love to hear your version of “Barrett’s Privateers”
If I may put in a request, I would suggest that y'all do "Roll Alabama Roll." Roll Alabama Roll is a sea shanty about the CSS Alabama, which was a commerce raider for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. She was built by John Laird Sons and Company. Her hull was laid down in Birkenhead, England and she was mostly manned by Englishmen from Liverpool. Most of her officers were Southern though. She raided and pillaged Northern commerce for a little over two years. She boarded nearly 450 vessels, captured or burned 65 Union merchant ships. She also took over 2,000 POWs during her voyage. She did all this without losing any of her crew. She was finally sunk off the coast of Cherbourg, France, where she went for a much needed refit and long-overdue repairs. She was sunk by the USS Kearsarge after a long, drawn out battle. In the end, 19 of her crew died (9 killed in action, 10 drowned.) 70 of her crew was captured and 38 to 41 of her crew evaded capture by being rescued by a British yacht that was passing by. After all that writing, hopefully this sea shanty will peak y'all's interest.
She used to be in the Johns as well, but sadly had to leave last October due to other commitments. But yes, she is indeed in the Norfolk Broads, who are amazing!
Loved the video and cheers to You all from Saltillo Coahuila México .👍❤️🇲🇽Okey i just have to Say it who is the jolly lassie and where is she from in the video?? because i think i should write this on the first video i ever saw of You guys ( which is this one ) and it's been a couple years since i subscrived and followed You in all the other social media i don't know why but in extremly extrovertido but when it comes to talking with ANY girl or ladie it dosent Even Matter if it's fisicly by face to face or on the internet mesaging and sending voice mail i either freeze or forget what i was saying or what i was gonna Say eighter ( literally if still have the memory that i was with some Friends and i wsnted to así this girl out that i really liked the moment i called her and the moment she turned arround it was like spell was casted on me and lose my voice, so mucho that i was getting all red and bllue from trying to much Even a friend came and like punched My in the black and all i said was a scream in her face and i just went a way to sabe myself from the awkard moment but everybody on shool remember and somehow when i hear all of the sea chanties songs and especially the ones You sing really help me ... Anyways keep up the good work Sirs!!!
