Leave Her Johnny (Sea Shanty with lyrics) | Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag (OST)

@@patrickmontalvo4931 I just said what must be said, nothing more🍻

HOLY CRAPP!!! I CANT STOP LAUGHING

Bro....

Bro 😥

I'm replaying it now, actually. Been a couple years. Man, what a sorry state this franchise is in now. I miss the good old days with Altair and Ezio and Edward. 3 could've been better, but I liked it a lot more than everything from Origin on. They just didn't feel like Assassin's Creed games to me. And now there's the trainwreck that will be Infinite. But the good ones will always be out there and we'll always have the memories of the first time we solved an Assassin's tomb, the first time we set foot on the Jackdaw, our time with Desmond, that fucking map puzzle...good times.

I'm replaying this game once a year😅 i think my last voyage will be in the future, but not in the next couple of years

Why you gonna do me like that man?

got me in tears here man

I am very very attached to the whole ac franchise, but THIS game is the one I'm most attached to I have many good memories playing this game after I got home from school on a Friday night and played till the morning. Possibly my favorite memory with this game is when me and my friends found a white whale for the first time and it took us a solid three hours to get it down but when we finally did we all jumped out of our seats and started cheering (those were the good ol' days)

I feel the same way I love the entire ac franchise but something about black flag just hits different

@Diablo Ultimez I agree 👍

I've just started to play Assassin's Creed 4 again and sailing on the jackdaw, and I'm not gonna leave her anymore guys!

Best Pirate game ever made, and second best AC game 😭

Bro did u not listen to the sagas and the shantys in Valhalla?

Ubisoft never got bad. They were getting more creative and brought out the most of their franchises in the last decades. But the business part of Ubisoft did so many wrong steps, that everybody is shitting on Ubisoft games eventhough they are one of the most creative, innovative and well crafted games in the industry. They are the reason why some masterpieces became just a mess, because they forced their devs to rush the games. They are the reason why microtransactions exists, in games that are damn good and dont deserved to follow the same trend of EA's games. They are the reason why everybody hates Ubisoft eventhough they brought way better titles to the table than the ones that everybody praises, like: FarCry 2 & 3, AC 2 Trilogy...and so on. Valhalla is a f*cking masterpiece. From a world building, game structure, Story, gameplay and overall disign perspective. But I cant appreciate how good this game actually is, because everybody is just hating on it & telling me, that the game that is blowing me away so much, is just pure garbage. With arguments that are just not true, just because they dont even try to enjoy that game and try to take it seriusly. If u go with the typical "well, guess Iam playing a Ubisoft game now, lets see what they maybe do to impress me" kind of view in the game, then its no wonder that u will not enjoy ur time and get the greatness of this game. If I would have only looked at the flaws that the Witcher 3 had, I would never enjoyed it at all. Because its a pretty basic game, that looks kinda pretty but atleast has some good storys to tell, even in sidemissions. But is also still bagged with the typical openworld stuff that u can find in every other openworld game. ...I bet u have never heared such a statement over this game. Because its an unfair way to review this game & how and what it tries to achieve. And this is sadly the way people tread Ubisoft games these days, eventhough they become better than the older games, but also better than most of the top tier games that are out there. And Valhalla just set new bars for RPGs in some ways, but I gues almost nobody will appreciate that. Thank u for ur time if u tried to understand what Iam saying, my english is kinda bad... And have a great day! ^^

@@AMT_AllMyThoughts Respect your opinion man and hell, I actually like Valhalla and I totally agree with you on Ubisoft’s creative aspects of such an RPG but that’s the thing, it’s an RPG, as awesome as the game is, it’s not assassins creed, it’s not templars vs assassins or abstergo’s war in the modern days, IMO it should have been called for honor because it is pretty good and the concept of its gameplay is absolutely amazing but it is not the assassins creed we thrived for years ago, and it is successful in its RPG genre but not as an assassins creed game, hell I’d say I want unity because that’s how much I miss the old assassins creed games, fighting wars against the wrong side, epic plot twists and sets of events (ac rogue), obviously the huge man o war battles and the classic stealth gameplay and lastly, a beautiful story set in the 16th century at least since we have been having their origin prequel games for the past 5 years and the start with origin was good but now it’s just boring and we seem to slowly draw away from the creed perspective of the franchise and like i said as good it is, it’s not assassins creed. Hope you understood what I mean although I may not have been able to express it as clearly but yeah that’s sums up my opinion of valhalla

@@AMT_AllMyThoughts and I’m saying this as a huge fan of assassins creed’s ezio, Edward, Connor, even haytham kenway, shay cormac, and lastly Altair

Aye mate!

The first game is where it had to end, the only one where assassins made sense. This game could be so much better if it took the life of a pirate without the animus/assassin bs.

My favourite game of all time. Tied with Red Dead Redemption 2

@@barrdack ok?

Same, though my second favorite is probably the most underrated AC game: Syndicate. The last game before they went full RPG and I loved every second of it.

It's somewhat my favorite considering this is the only one in the series I played.

LET'S GO BROOO Really intersting ❤

Reminds me of rice planting songs in certain parts of Asia like Japan, Vietnam, and Philippines. The job itself was considered to be back breaking and hard to the point that farmers and farmhand would constantly complain during the work. Singing in unison was used in order to distract them during their work.

Somehow I doubt that. The first clock was invented in around 14-15th century BC. The clock as we know it today was made at the end of 17th century, but they used Henry De Vick's clock for 300 years before that. Hourglass and sundial clock were used by sailors to tell the time. Sundial clock is very accurate. Hourglass is perfect for timings, for example. When you're spending years on the sea, you can tell time without even looking at the clock, you just follow the sun. It was not sang because there was no clock was the point of my comment. Now, they might have sang them when they done chores or in battle, but not because there were no clock back than, but for timing when to do stuff once they start singing. I mean, imagine you had to sing the whole song just so you could eat. It would take all fun from singing.

@@johnnybravo437 OREOOOOOOOOOO nobody ask

@@johnnybravo437No, OP is correct: there were no timekeeping instruments for labor. They didn’t use clocks or hourglasses to time their labor. From William Falconer’s 1784 Universal Dictionary of the Marine: “It requires, however, some dexterity and address to manage the handspec to the greatest advantage; and to perform this the sailors must all rise at once upon the windlass, and, fixing their bars therein, give a sudden jerk at the same instant, in which movement they are regulated by a sort of song or howl pronounced by one of their number.” Shanties were used to time their actions and keep crew in sync with each other. And they could also just be good relief from monotony/a fun way to pass the time.🫡

We did live through Edward's eyes though

when you play a well written and directed game you actually live the moments.

We all lived there

noone couldve said it better

these wise words are beautiful

As a Marine in my younger years, ship life was the most wonderful and tortuous experience I have ever encountered. Would be nice to do it again.

I'm probably getting sea duty in the coming months after my schooling. Cheers, Sailor.

Godspeed and safe travels mate

@Hercule Poirot It’s not an innuendo lol it’s literally referring to a ship

@Hercule Poirot it can be interpreted as a few things mate no need to be toxic over a video game song.

@Hercule Poirot it's literally a sailor song about a boat and fair you're being quite rude but then again you could just be trolling.

@Hercule Poirot Yikes. It is definitely about the ship

@Hercule Poirot if the word is rude, why you need to be like this? tell me, Hercule Poirot, the all-knower, what is the song about?

John? I thought you were dead...

Ah, "To soon old, too late [wise] smart."

A great lesson in money and materialism can't fill your empty soul. It may make you feel better temporarily, but it costs you in the end. When all you are surrounded by are gold coins and riches it gets lonely. I rather be poor, but integrated in a loving community than be rich and alone . Something to think about these days. Search inside yourself.

@@robertpatter5509 - or even worse: gold coins, riches and people ‘close’ to you who, as you know in your heart, only want to be close to you for the aforementioned things.

@@MensHominis Also that. Do people value you for your stuff , looks and things only or is it character? Looks fade. Money gets spent but character is eternal.

@@whatdadogdoin6178 with Muscle Man and Hi Five Ghost.

I wish I did

Thanks

cool fact bro

Don't say

Music is meant to be interpreted differently by the listener. There is the actual meaning of the song. And there is how the listener interprets it. If you want it to be about a girl, then it's about a girl. If you want to be true to the song, then it's about the ship

@@joshuanewton The song says about leaving someone or something because of useless. So it could perfectly be about the extintion of the Earth, and "Johnny" could be the last one alive leaving it for looking another planet to live. Now, is my interpretation wrong?

They probably changed the lyrics purposefully to make it about a woman

@@tomascosta627 I mean, the lyrics still make it obvious that it is about the ship.

It's an alternate lyric. Instead of Johnny being told to go because it's already done he's being pushed to leave because the voyage is long and hard and there's a life waiting for him back home. Instead of it already being graduation at school he's being encouraged to graduate early and move on with his life rather than going back for a couple more years before moving on. Because the voyage is long and the winds don't blow he should get out while he can--take his pay, and go--don't re-up. It still makes sense, but instead of it being about leaving a boat at the completion of the journey it's about closing a chapter of his life so he can have one.

@@bufficliff8978 The only problem with that idea is that so many of the remaining lyrics explicitly talk about ships and never mention what you are talking about. Besides, using that logic, any song can be about anything.

@@hooligan9794 Yes. Like John Green says the author's intent only matters to the author. The meaning of art is in the experience of those who consume it. Books, music, and paintings have many meanings and can mean anything

It’s a ship, not a boat 😉

However if you have your body cremated you can have your ashes scattered into the ocean... my mother wants/wanted her ashes scattered in the mountains up near Kenilworth in Queensland, Australia because she loved the scenery there, I have her ashes now all I need to do is wait for the weather to settle down and plan to do it

Technically, you could... It just has to be uh quiet and in the middle of Atlantic.

It was sung at my grandmothers this song reminds me of her

Why not get ur ashes thrown to the ocean, if ur ok with being cremated that is

I'm gonna agree with this one cus I'd love have it sung maybe for my burial at sea off the coast of Thailand but I doubt it would even be done if I asked in whatever will I write cus what active duty sailor can be bothered with it for a shellback being spread to the winds on the south China sea

valhalla has black flag lite version sailing

Eh, would be kind of redundant. It’s interesting to see where the next AC game takes you, it’s interesting to see the weapons you can use, the location and timeline you’re set in (Personally, I really love the inclusion of historical accuracy, the last three games especially) and how the story relates to the location and timeline. Yeah there’s nostalgia over it and all that, maybe they could do a remaster, they could even do something in the new online AC game. But just looking at how the series is and how it’s been since Black Flag, a sequel like that wouldn’t make much sense. Also are you forgetting Rogue? And Freedom Cry to an extent even though it’s just a standalone DLC.

Good job man ❤
