@@thealteredmind9475 sorry mate, no video. I heard it on spotify a while ago and was like "wait, Stan Rogers singing about himself" then it said Nathan Rogers (his son) and I was like "woah..." Then I proceeded to cry for 5 minutes straight.
Stan's song Mary Ellen Carter is also credited with saving a man's life. The sailor was shipwrecked and clinging to the overturned hull in the frigid waters, and when he felt his strength failing, he thought of the words of Stan's song, and for three more hours he sang the song out at the top of his lungs over and over until he was rescued. "And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow, with smilin' bastards lying to ya every where you go: turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain, and like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!"
Stan died on Air Canada 797. He made it out of the plane alive but went back in to assist fellow passengers where he succumbed to the fire. I'm not religious but may god bless him.
@@hellhoundactual8201 Did you know these people? now would you say that to someone's face that you didn't know? thought not. Get over your sad self and show some goddamn respect.
@@snibetisnab211 yeah it comes from dread- fear and naught -nothing. But its also a pun on nautical- a suffix meaning of the sea. So it can be read as The dread of the sea.
7 months ago I was playing dear old Stan and splitting firewood with my father. On the 1st of July he passed away. at his viewing on closing remarks the song "northwest passage" started to play, we buried him to "loch lomond" on the 7th of July. I am a American and so I say to rise and and be marry! And sing out while You can, for the world will never see the likes of dear old Stan,
When I heard this song, I knew it was about Stan Rogers. Especially since the next song was Northwest Passage. This song is beautiful and definitely a great way of remembering Stan and his music.
When I first heard the album(start to end, without even reading the names of the songs), the moment I heard "But I am a Canadian" it ticked for me that this is not another sea shanty but an original song, and of course it's Stan Rogers, and I actually burst in tears. IDK if I *knew*(like, he was a huge influence on them(if they said it in an interview or something). But it was always obvious to me that he was, and this is such an amazing way to pay respect to an artist that inspired you. Especially in an album that consists almost entirely out of original sea shanties, that are done so well that it was at times hard to tell weather they were written by The Dreadnoughts or forgotten traditional shanties.
Let’s all pay respects to Ronnie, Luke, Stan Rodgers and the like. This pints for y’all! Slainté. We all sing along for you. Edit: also to Guthrie and Pete Seeger. For them boys.
He lived most his life in my province of NS. THEY WILL LEGIT PLAY HIS SONGS AT THE END OF THE NIGHT IN CLUBS.....and we all belt out a tune and leave happy as hell :)
He was a Canadian folk singer that was renowned for his maritime music and deep booming voice. His more famous works include Barratt's Privateers and the Northwest Passage.

Stan Rogers, I've only had the pleasure of knowing your music 2 years ago. I wish I've heard of you sooner and I wish you have not left us too soon. May your voyage to the Heavens be as grand as your gift to the world.
From the streets of old Victoria; to fair old Mabou town; from Portage to Spadina; listen closely for the sound. A voice still echoes softly; 'cross the rivers and the plains. So don't you dare stop listening; and don't forget his name. [Chorus] Arise and be merry; and sing out while you can. The world will never see the likes of dear old Stan. [Chorus] The Yanks have Woodie Guthrie; the British, Ralph McTell. The Celts have got The Corries; aye, and Ronnie Drew as well. Adge Cutler sings of cider; out in the West Country; but I am a Canadian; and so I say to thee... [Chorus] When I was just a nipper; bouncing on my mummy's knee; 'twas "Harris and the Mare", me boys; she sweetly sang to me. And as I closed my eyes beneath the Northern moon so pale; I dreamed I was the Captain standing on the Nightingale. [Chorus] At The Wolf and Hound, Vancouver; just for a pint or two; these blokes were singing "Old Maui" from the whale's point of view. I thought of old Stan Rogers; and walked straight out the bar. And started up The Dreadnoughts, and here we bloody are! [Chorus]x2
"A voice still echoes softly, cross the rivers and the plains, so don't you dare stop listening, and don't forget his name..." Dang that gets me every time. RIP Stan Rogers you legend.
"Arise, and be merry, and sing out while you can" is possibly the most Stan Rogers line ever not sung by Stan. Could have easily fit in with the likes of his songs. He was always about making the most of life while you live it, and by god he practiced what he preached. His music, all of which was made in only 7 years of career leading up to his death (with minor exceptions) have been released gradually and remastered and relistened to millions of times over the following more than half a decade.. he is treasured not only by us Maritimers whose land and waters and culture he loved so much but by people all around the world. There are those who live places with nothing in common whatsoever with Stan's beloved scenery or cultures or way of life, and they still listen to him. That's one hell of a legacy, Stan.
Born and raised Texan here. I have always had great respect for Canadian musicians like Stan Rogers, Gordon Lightfoot, and Leonard Cohen just to name a few. This is a great tribute to Stan, great song.
I was expecting more Folk Punk, but this was a nice surprise to see the Dreadnoughts make a more traditional Folk music album paying tribute to the Folk Music Legends like Stan Rogers that inspired them.
the first 3 years of my daughters life I sang Witch of the Westmoreland to her before bed it put her out and calm her down. . Stan got me through grad school and being a new parent. I owe him a debt.

Every artist should make a tribute to one of their influences. This song and Everybody Jam are a one-two punch of amazing tribute songs, and if we can get even a few more that are even close to their quality, I will be very happy about it. Great job, lads.
Aye, people don't often realize how long this legacy lasts. "It really ain’t the place, nor time, To reel off rhyming diction; But yet we’ll write a final rhyme. While waiting crucifixion." I learned about Breaker Morant from one of my musical inspirations, John Williamson. Keep memories alive in song, the indigenous peoples of all continents knew this one well.
Stan Rogers was gold. A truly authentic voice. I actually didnt realize he died quite some time ago. Love love love The Dreadnoughts. Great name, great band.
i bawl my eyes out everytime i hear this song. i'm a huge fan of stan rogers, and play his music at my workplace every day i'm there. i wish more people knew about him. rest in peace sir.
Wonderful song. Also, for anybody who wants to hear another song that pays tribute to Stan Rogers, John Gorka’s “That’s how legends are made” is also beautiful.
Funny that I should mourn for a man who died some 10 years before my birth, but that's the power of Stan's memory for you. Rest well ye hero of Canada, rest well.
This makes me cry every single time. I started listening after he passed and he was such a mood lifter for me. When I learned that he passed, I cried. We love you Stan, fly high.
Beautiful and heart-warming. I am from the USA and I love Stan Rogers, and the Dreadnoughts, and I just discovered both of them within the last two years.
This song makes me think of my "Old Fella" who first introduced me to Stan and most of the others listed in this song. We lost him last year, but he would have enjoyed this song. The world will never see the likes of my Da either. Keep them close.... and we'll meet again my Old Fella
Well, this "Yank" has been a Stan Rogers fan since I was a "nipper" as well. One of my earliest memories is dancing around the living room to "The Idiot" and "Working Joe, and my "mummy" singing me "Northwest Passage." I once got in trouble in Kindergarten for calling my friend an "idiot," thinking it was a complement. Now I'm 26, and despite the fact that died more than a decade before I was born, he's probably had more impact on me than any other musician (except perhaps that other great Canadian Joni Mitchell). Among many other things, I would confidently assert that he was at least in the top five, if not the single greatest lyricists in history. And to think that he accomplished everything he did before he turned 34 is something I still cannot quite wrap my head around. The world truly shall never see his like again.
This morning, in the twilight zone of half sleep, the chorus was going through my head, except it was "Arise now me hearties" . A wonderful introduction to The Dreadnoughts and a wonderful tribute to Dear Old Stan.
I've listened to this album several times, even though it's really stripped away, the songs are great! Roll Northumbria and Joli Rouge are two stand out tracks. Good work me boys
I only learned of stan rogers recently. I knew he had died. But God damned I love his music. Convinced me to pick up guitar again. God damn this makes me sad.. but I am glad that people still listen to him.... That man is the only thing that gives me pride in being canadian.
Been listening to the Dreadnoughts for a while, but I've only just found this... I just had to crack open a cider in Stan's name. Brilliant tribute to a legend.
Totally off topic: I’m so embarrassed. I’m Canadian and didn’t know of The Dreadnoughts. Thank you so much for that and everything else, including your Photoshop courses that I’m going through this month during the zombie apocalypse.
I didn’t know of them either until I decided to look up the Wikipedia entry for Northwest Passage after listening to the Unleash The Archers cover again. I’m glad I found them now.
The first time I heard this song was just the other week. My girlfriend and I came across the Eliza song and the next day went out and bought the INTO THE NORTH CD. We LOVE you guys! She loves punk and sea shanties so it's like the Dreadnoughts were made for her!! And the first time I heard this song I had a GIANT smile on my face and a slight lump in my throat! It made me proud to be a Canadian! Keep up the great work guys!!
Discovered him in quite possibly the nerdiest way one can discover Stan Rogers. Made a character in Final Fantasy XIV that I headcanoned was a former pirate whose story arc was about rediscovering his love for sailing. So of course, because I'm, again, a huge nerd, I took to Spotify to make a Playlist about my depressed pirate man, and I searched for any music with a nautical theme I found Mary Ellen Carter. Easily the best intro to Rogers' work. I quickly binged the rest of his work for its own sake, immediately falling in love. A weird and deeply geeky road to finding my way to his work but I'm not complaining
the world may never see the likes of dear ol' stan, but you guys are doing plenty fine carrying on the torch. FOR STAN'S PAST! AND TO THE DREADNOUGHTS FUTURE! *CHEERS!*
If anyone wants to score some bonus points with us Canadians, just talk about how great Dear Old Stan was. A true Folk legend, taken far too soon. We love you, Stan
I won't do it for bonus points, I'll do it because he's Amazing and there is almost no one in the U.S to talk to about him, heck I never even heard any of his music till a little over a year ago and I'm so happy I did get to hear it.
The world will also never see the likes of the Dreadnoughts. Thank you for making the most of my days! Love from Germany! We don't have a Ronnie Drew or a Stan Rogers. But thank baby Yoda, we have the internet!
But Germany has Brecht; Mack the Knife and Seeraübber Jenny are as good as anything the great artists mentioned by the Dreadnoughts have produced including Stan Rogers. Germany also gave us Die Moorsoldaten which is one of the World's great protest songs.
Been a fan of the Dreadnoughts for a while now. Started listening to Stan Rogers only a few years ago. Hearing this song fills me with a feeling of nostalgia for something I never really knew. Always have wondered what they meant by "Old Maui from the whale's point of view."
The Bandcamp page for this song talks a bit about it. The lead singer heard a group of hippies in the bar singing "environmentally correct" shanties, with lyrics for Old Maui like "thank pod we're homeward bound." From the sound of it, he founded the Dreadnoughts out of spite.
@@Eamil Aye, some time after making my comment I was able to track down the song they were talking about. It's called "Whales of Old Maui," and would be almost be a decent rendition of the song if not for the loud, distracting whale calls played over the frankly flat voices of the singers.
I just heard this on Pandora... Man... tears... Stan Rodgers has been in my playlists since I was a little kid in the 90s... I'm glad that he has inspired so many over the years. My mom listened to Rodgers back when he was still around, way before I was even a glimmer in her eye. May his name forever grace the hearts of humankind.
This song made me pretty emotional, I had no clue someone had paid tribute to stan. This song really captured what I felt when I listened to stan, being a captain of my own ship. Rest in peace stan rogers.
I've heard this song before but just discovered this video. I've been listening to these wonderful boys and many other Canadian bands/artists for years. And as an American, God bless dear old Stan. The man had a voice for the genre unlike any other I've ever heard. He was, no. He IS amazing and I hope he's singing his songs for the angels.
A worthy tribute to an absolute legend. Thank you for this! I'm rather new to Stan's music, but I knew I found someone I'd be listening to for the rest of my life by the time the first song was through. (Happened to be Northwest Passage, ran across it in a documentary about the exhumation of the Franklin expedition members buried on Beechey Island.)
Awesome tribute to a Canadian legend, and major bonus points for mentioning the Corries and Ronnie Drew in the same tune! :D Bravo lads, well sung indeed!
I'm a loudmouthed Yank; I cut my teeth on Woodie and Seeger. But the day I heard North West Passage was the day I felt a pride that no American song has made me feel all thanks to Dear ol' Stan. 🍺☕
Sometimes I may find my self bemoaning contemporary Canadian music, and then songs (and indeed bands) like this come along and you can't help find hope again. Cheers!
I recently discovered The Dreadnoughts via Pandora and I have been deeply enjoying them. The song in particular appeals to me as a long-time fan of the folk music with origins in the British Isles. I may be an American, but I live near enough to Vancouver B.C. to be at least vaguely familiar with it. Somehow, that makes this song is more immediate and movingly relevant for me. I have also been a longtime fan of Ronnie Drew and Stan Rogers. So, cheers guys. I am certainly made merry by this song, and many others of yours.
I agree with all of your choices for what each nation has, but Ireland also has Luke Kelly, who is just like Stan. Taken much to soon and we miss his sweet voice.
Absolutely marvellous. Stan would love this, I’m certain. Raising a glass of good New England cider for you fellas here, down in old Boston Town. God bless you.
