I’d love to hear a real collab with several EN members. The song works best with five, so I’d say Gura, Kronii, Fauna, Irys and Ame. Similar enough voices to harmonize well, but different enough to make each verse unique.
@@delphy2478 I think Moom’s and Goob’s voices are too similar. But thinking about it again, Mumei might be a better fit for this quintet rather than Gura.
@@How_Many_Monkeys Gura and mumei have had multiple instances of sounding exactly the same or being mistaken for the other so I don't think anything would change if they switched
I would take Kronii out and replace her with Bae. Hearing the video here she sings much higher than how she speaks which is fine usually but in this case I could barely hear Gura's and Kronii's voices when they were singing at the same time. Also, with those 5 the group is too heavy in the high range so the only person I think would fit to give the support would be Bae and maybe Calli.
Now I need a metal remix of this! Kronii's voice sounds like it belongs to a celtic princess, she should try songs from nightwish or celtic woman, I think that would sooth her voice well.
Sea shanties aren't folk songs though. It is a work song. Sailors sing them when working during long voyages during the Golden Age of Sail. Slaves in America have a work song too when working the fields to take their mind off the hardship.
Any of the Holo EN boys sing the Wellerman? I feel this could be helped by a deep voice. Not to take anything away from Gura or Kronii, they did great.
Just saying it’s been around since the 1870’s so saying it’s written by Nathan evans is like saying I wrote the star spangled banner because I sang it once
I wonder if one of the boys in tempus could drop a sweet bass vocal into this duet. The girls sound great but this song demands that gutteral bass line.
It really does need a good deep bass voice. Oga comes to mind immediately, but I dont know how good his English is. I haven't heard Magni, Ves, or Axel sing but I think Magni sounds like he might be a good fit if his singing voice is anything like his speaking voice.
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 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
Yeah, we don't know who wrote it. Neil Colquhoun collected it in 1966, from F. R. Woods (who was in his 80s at the time), but Woods claimed to have learnt it from his uncle. Evans uses the same lyrics and melody as basically everyone else who's recorded it over the decades.
It's a 160 year old Whaling song from New Zealand. The Weller Brothers are whalers and they employed alot of Māori people from New Zealand. The employees are called "wellermen" and they came up with the song while hunting whales and processing the meat
I must say you made a mistake in the thumbnail and name of the video. It's not Gura but Mumei that is singing. But don't worry it's easy to get them mixed up
Longest Johns posted their version like a day before Nathan did. But Nathans blew up on tiktok and became WAY more popular. Who cares who gets the credit, its an old New Zealand whaling song.
Longest of johns got the licence to the song on July the 6th 2018 and made a video which they reuploaded on the 26th of June 2021 to be in an album. Then they made a music video on the 9th of April the same year (1 day before Nathan Evan’s). But Nathan Evan put “| official audio” at the end of the title so he is automatically the owner in the internets eyes.
@@Sniper0502 @Cameryn Jones Actually, the Longest Johns had it on their (June) 2018 album "Between Wind and Water", so like, 2 and a half years before put his version (same lyrics and melody as every other version recorded over the last 50 years) in January 2021.
