I have seen the film, I've heard the music. I would like to Thank You all down in Cornwall for returning something that could have been lost in the 21st Century forever and never heard and appreciated by the new generation. You have done the UK and most of all Cornwall Proud.
I have worked offshore as a rig worker and in spare time a lifeboatman. Made a lot of my living in, around under and over the sea working in teams with great guys on rigs and lifeboats - these guys embody that spirit. Love it. I'm also a Welshman, love what our Cornish brothers are doing!
If you have not watched the movie you've no idea what you are missing. I thought it would be just some cheap promotional film, but it wound up being one of my favorite movies. Full of fun, friendship, love, morals, and character, with a great storyline and excellent acting. Thank you so much for it.
Sorry to be so slow to reply. Just now saw your inquiry. The move is the same as the group's name "Fisherman's Friends". In search just type in "Fisherman's Friends movie". It will come up. @@clawsidefilms7529
My dad and I used to listen to the Fisherman's Friends together. In fact, it was one of his favorite bands. The last couple years the both of us suffered from depression and anxiety and this song brought us a light. Now, a couple days after my dad passed, this song gives me an incredible happiness that reminds me he's still watching and that this road to nowhere has somewhere to go after all. Thank you, Fisherman's Friends.
Fisherman's Friends NEVER fail to cheer me up . Their brilliant harmonies, smiles as they sing their beloved shanties,and all the jolly banter that goes on between them soon has me smiling . Mind you " Cousin Jack " brings tears , but it's the tune ,not their singing ! Proper Job Guys, thank you so much for everything ! .
I'm a baymen and the son of a fishermen & sailor here in Newfoundland Canada. The soul in your music gives me goose bumps, thank you for sharing your hearts, souls and voices with the world.
I spent summer of '95 at Rocky Harbour working at Gros Morne NP as my placement for my degree. Loved the place, the music, the people. Spent the summer listening to The Irish Decendants, Spirit of the West and Buudy Watshisname and the other fellow. Just been talking about Lobsters today and get some from Norris Point. What a place to live.
Come, all you no hopers, You jokers and rogues We're on the road to nowhere, Let's find out where it goes It might be a ladder to the stars, who knows Come, all you no hopers, You jokers and rogues. Leave all your furrows in the fields where they lie Your factories and offices; Kiss them all goodbye Have a little faith in the dream maker in the sky There's glory in believing him And it's all in the beholder's eye. Turn off your engines and slow down your wheels Suddenly your master plan loses its appeal Everybody knows that this reality's not real So raise a glass to all things past and celebrate how good it feels. Awash on the sea of our own vanity We should rejoice in our individuality Though it's gale force, let's steer a course for sanity
Watching these Chalutiers working the oggin reminded me of my father when he left Denmark on his trawler 85 years ago and came to England and enlisted with the Royal Navy. His singing not as arousing as the Cornish boys. Cedric the Sardine 😂😂
I sing with a sea chanty band in New Jersey (The Sea Dogs). These guys area really great. It's all about connection. Between the sea and people. Between people of different groups. Between people and their own history. I love this song. I love how it makes me feel. No matter how bad my today might be. I hear something like this and I know it's still a good day.
Heard today about a film which tells how the Fisherman's Friends were discovered and signed to their record label. An excerpt of this song was played as part of the radio interview, so I'm glad to have found it on here. It's a grand bit of singing and you can hear every word, unlike so many of the so-called 'popular' music of today.
I have just watched the film yesterday and it was brilliant, really enjoyed it, sad teary bit in it as well as some good comedy and history, it's not for old folks it's a brilliant story for those who love a good wholesome story.
This song just saved my life. I don't know exactly what my relationship with God is, weather I believe in him or not but finding this song now really clarifies so much, I don't think the word miracle can describe it enough
I found it sad that when I listened to this I couldn't think of one single song from the last decade that has the same effect on me as music like this.... These guys are amazing!
I just read they are making a sequel to The Fisherman's Friends movie. So happy for all involved for bringing such great entertainment. My family and I look forward to it. Thank you!!!!
John has the most amazing voice. I lost my 15 year old granddaughter a week ago but I watch this video most nights and it lifts my spirits. My family are not religious and take comfort in other ways. My bucket list includes one day hearing these guys sing live.
They're doing a UK tour later this year so you might be able to see it, have a look on Ticketmaster UK for the venues, I've booked Sheffield City Hall in September.
I’ve bought all the albums from Fishermen’s Friends, best thing besides coming to see you someday. ❤️ from North Dakota, USA. Blessings to our Patriots overseas. 🇺🇸🇮🇪
Love the movie on Netflix. We were delighted it is a true story! My son bought Fishermens Friends Lozenges at a WAWA store in FL. Blessings to all Fishermens Friends. MC
The music is like the first hint of dawn after a dark night, a ray of sunshine after a storm -- I suffer from severe bouts of depression, but it's music like this that makes me fight back, get up again, and eventually pick up the guitar myself again because my heart is once more full of hope and music. For this, my eternal thanks to the band and everyone involved in the production of my now No. 1 Comfort Movie ( Russell Crowe and "A Good Year" are now reduced to #2 place..)
You are making sea shanties cool! I am only 12 and I love your music (& I loved the film). I SO want to come and see you in Port Isaac. Your voices are just brilliant 🤩
I'm buisy moving from my home town seventeen hours away to my new job, and for the entire drive over whenever I would be feeling down or homesick I would turn on this song and by the end I'd be singing along and looking forward to all the new opertunities opening before me.
I heard this song on Pandora and have been searching for it since, I finally found it and I couldn’t help but smile and sing along. It made my day a hundred times better.
Just discovered this fabulous group after watching the movie. Late to the party, but so glad I came - amazing music! Visited Cornwall 3 summers ago and would go back in a minute and now hope to see the group singing!
With everything negative in the world these days...you guys are flying the flag for what truly matters. Keep doing you thing and shout from the rooftops your positive message. The history behind these shanties is very humble and honest. I believe we need to stop thinking about material shit and focus on our fellow man and what it means to be a decent human being!!!!! Thank you Fishermans Friends !!!!!!!!
The movie and music always brings a tear to my eyes, my mum was diagnosed with cancer and was determined to see the film while she was able. It was the last time I saw her really happy and for that I will always be thankful to the Fisherman's friends.
Love the music, love the film, love the Fishermanns Friends. Been a fan gir ages, but sadly never have seen them live. Always seem to miss them!! ❤ belongs to Cornwall . Xxx
I know plenty of people call the US the greatest nation ever, but honestly when we look past politics, military and economy, its Britain. It has so much faith and good cheer and is willing to spread it to others. But ultimately we aren't seperate nations, we're all a single people, children of God and this song is what we all need to look back and remember what truely remembers. Thanksgiving is coming up and maybe you'll remember this song and think on what you have, your faith, your home, your family and be thankful for it all and maybe you'll be thankfull to these singers in Britain for giving us this song to help us remind us of what truely matters.
British 🇬🇧 Brit = covenant ~ contract Ish = people ~ friends With The Creator! The first Christian nation 1st century! Before Italy or Spain & France hence The Title The Most Religious. ✝️ JESUS CHRIST IS LORD 🕊
I’ve gone to port Issac every year since I was born and it holds a special place in my heart with many fond memories of the fishermen’s friends I hope whoever goes there and sees them will also have a nice time this is also the song that brings me back there with that Cornish sea air and by the way WHOEVER READS THIS IS AMAZING
omg i love this, it's like a proper sea shanty, only just heard for the first time, my great uncle was a trawler fisherman in Lowestoft East Anglia for over 50 years, he would have loved this!
Absolutely love this music! When in grade school we would learn a few of the songs from the Newfoudland fishing villages! Have seen the movie about these men and it is a must see.🇨🇦
This was such a beautiful movie. I've been up dancing and cleaning instead of sitting and watching it still. Beautiful music that reminds me of my grandpa. He was such a beautiful Irishman. I miss him with all my heart.
The kind of song you've never heard before, but are singing along to by the second chorus - just amazing! Stumbled onto these guys after seeing an ad for the movie, and *sooooo* glad I did!😍🤗💗
My wife and I had the absolute privilege to take our 8 month old son to Cornwall on our first ever family holiday last week and staying at Penpethy Holiday Cottages (which we recommend) we couldn't not visit the beautiful Port Isaac. My father was St. Agnes born and raised so as a child I am blessed to have spent many family holidays in the Duchy but it was a special moment to show my new family around the place. We would love to see you sing live at some point
I can strum this on my guitar and sing the melody, but it's really nothing without that at least four part harmonies :-) These men are a gift from God to me.
I first heard this song about 5 years ago and it helped me threw a pretty rough part of my life. I hope to meet these guys one day so I can buy them a drink and say thanks.
Fishermans friends has helped me from the brink more than once. I wish I could get a picture signed by them. Life achievement kinda stuff. Best wishes and may the winds forever be at your backs. Ta.
what i find impressive is that they are literally singing history, these songs have been sung by fishermen and sailors in general for hundreds of years
Listening to this song pulls me out of the black hole when having a down day, makes me realise things aren't that bad,lifts my spirits and yes have a sing along a big thank you guys long may you continue.
I swear that I can't control myself when this song pops up. Foot starts tapping, head starts bobbing. Not even that complex of a song, but a beautiful blend of great lyrics and great sound.
Just happened across the movie and it really caught my attention. The movie and the story behind it are very touching. Love the music can't help smiling and tapping my foot. Here I am dancing in my kitchen and glad nobody can see this old lady kickin up her heels.
