I wrote a sea shanty! Big thanks to ‪@ToniLindgren‬ for adding all kinds of "salt" to this shipwreck tune in the way of toms, snare, midi strings, mandolin, and harmonies.

"Lost to the sea" - double meaning of the phone's fate, but also the fate of the sailors.

@AhmedEtman79 Месяц назад

@user-if5bv7de2l 3 месяца назад

Title suggestion "The Sailors Way". As a former sailor, I can tell you the ocean is a cruel mistress. Sailors both love and fear her and I think your song does a fair job capturing some of that.

@Door. 2 месяца назад

I second this suggestion. I am not a sailor, with no intention to be, but both my parents are and my brother aspires to be one so I definitely agree that this song just gets what the sea is, especially to sailors.

Ahoy mateys, just wanted to share a demo of a sea shanty I wrote recently. This was inspired by some footage of the ocean I saw floating around on TikTok which evoked the mysteries of the briny deep, and I couldn't resist adding to the already long and lush list of sea shanties out there. Incidentally, I started writing this song a few days before the passing of Gordon Lightfoot (a songwriting master famous for his own shipwreck song) so now seems like an extra good time to share this in honor of his memory. I hope you enjoy it! [And too bad about the phone, but that's what I get for being a doofus 🤪] Yo ho ho, that's all for now ye landlubbers. I'm off to get some grog! --Reina

@xocasgv 4 месяца назад

You should call the shanty "Marusía." It's a Galician word meaning a rough sea but also the smell of that ocean. Galicia in NW Spain is known for its rough seas and seasoned sailors. That's the word that came to mind when I saw the initial video. I absolutely loved it.

A new sea shanty! Beautiful! A classic. Sailors will be singing it for the next hundred years. From someone who's been sailing the oceans for for 50 years: you've captured the spirit like an Old Salt! Purely authentic, all the way to invoking the storm tactics and required confidence of facing the sea's challenge. If you can, please post that as a standalone so I can play it on my sailboat as I voyage the Pacific.

@johncross9488 Год назад

“Souls of the Sunken “ is my vote for title. My father was based out of Reykjavik Iceland on a destroyer in 1942 & 1943 then transferred to a battleship in the Pacific in 1944 & 1945. He sank 2 U-boats and shot down numerous kamikazes. When I asked him “weren’t you scared of the U-boats and the kamikazes?” He replied, “ Oh hell they were nothing compared to the damn storms!”

@RobertJBallantyne Год назад

We Canadians find the songs of the sea fun to sing. You mentioned Lightfoot’s Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. And there’s lots by Stan Rogers. Can’t wait to stamp our feet to Barret’s Privateers and the Mary Ellen Carter. Or even the song that should be our national anthem, Northwest Passage. Thanks for adding another shanty that we can use when we raise a voice or a jar. :)

@MordicusEgg Год назад

Yes, RdC should definitely plan to cover some songs from Stan Rogers, especially "Barrett's Privateers" and "Witch Of Westmoreland" (which Stan covered from his pal Archie Fisher, but made his own)! "Maryellen Carter" could be a great addition, too!

@wartgin 2 месяца назад

Maybe you can answer a question for me then. In the musical (Come From Away) about the passengers stranded in Gander, Newfoundland after 9/11, did they base the song that sounds like a sea shanty in the bar scene on an actual shanty and, if so, what is the title? I can't find any mention of it in the program notes I've seen but they also don't mention the religious songs sampled in another piece and I know they did it there because I recognized the song from my own religious tradition.

Very nice. Imagine climbing the rigging in a storm to reset the sails. You slip, you'll dunk more than your phone. It's hard to understand the power of the sea unless you've experienced it.
