The Trills - Wellerman (Sea Shanty) opb. Nathan Evans 

"Yo Boys, Sea Shanty" is probably my favourite quote this year.

Ok, that beatboxing is on point!

Sometimes I wish I could sing and had friends like this to sing together.

Anyone hear from 2024 because i am and it still sounds amazing

Let's take a moment to appreciate how clean the sounds from the beatboxer are.

I swear this is the best singing group

I like how this looks like they were like "Hey come over to my place, let's sing the Wellerman" and they just did on the spot with perfect harmony.

Wow~ Healing my ears~~❤

That poor table... It's like, *yooo boys, sea shanty *table starts sweating* "my time is near..."

They finish the song Table: phew, glad that's over Trills: How about another take? Table: *nervous sweating*

Just when I think I don't need another cover of this tune, I stumble on *this*. Good show!

Can we just acknowledge the beautiful harmony and the fact that they don't need instruments? (Other than drums of any sort)

1:31 beatbox was clean AF 🤯🔥

Just for me lyrics: 0:04 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 O blow, my bully boys, blow Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go She had 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 Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go 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 Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' 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 Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go 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 Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' 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 tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and Take our leave and Take our leave and go

This is the moment, where you bow to the talent of these beautiful people. And wipe the tears from your eyes produced by the magnificent flawless harmonic angelic voices of this group

1:08が大好き みんな歌ってるの中､歌が上手い1人に真ん中で気持ちよく歌わせて､途中でみんなで合いの手入れて､そこから楽しくみんなで作業したり､歌って踊ったりしてそうで好きです(日本語ですみません…)

I listen to it at least once a day. When I see everyone singing happily, it makes me feel happy too. I'm Japanese, so I'm sorry if my writing is strange. Please keep up the good work and I will support you.

I love a cappella so much that its hard to impress me any more. It HAS to be good, or I just cringe. THIS was outstanding!! Next I will go to the Trills' page and check them out further. Really a well-done version of this catchy tune.

This is amazingggg and that beatbox is on POINT.

THIS WAS LITERALLY SO INSANE LIKE ACTUALLY GOING NUTS RIGHT NOW!!!

This is the purest example of perfect harmony I have ever heard. Well effing done!

Ну до чего же красиво и гармонично))) Слушаешь снова и снова,молодцы!!!!! С такой песней в море бесконечно можно ходить.

Y'all killed that!! The harmonics was awesome each one of you had that perfect part

LYRICS : 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

Can we appreciate how those beatboxing skills are on point?😮

It's awesome how full a sound you can get with "just" human voices!

What a total pleasure. Each and every one of those members of that group contributes beautifully. What a joy

Rarely is it that the cover is equal or better than original. But this one is madness. Kudos folks! What a work

Good Lord; the harmony from the girls is fire

The Trills, you took a song that I love, at first it was good the first time I heard it, but you took it, and made it *GREAT!!!!* Don't stop singing songs like this one.

That beat boxing omg😮

Truly amazing how every artist has its own additions & twists to the original song.

I like their expressions - it's like they are telling a story (as it supposed to be, i guess). It immerses me in the song. And they sound GREAT! Amazing! The teamwork is admirable, it deserves great respect.

It's hard to find a good balance of male and female voices for this song, but this version hits that perfect harmony to me.

I really love this version of Wellerman. The lady's voices really add to this song.

I think that Pentatonix had the throne for too long. Time for you to take over!

この原曲にないスピード感。ハモリ。最高です！ これからも頑張ってください！応援しています！

These guys are incredible , they sing this legendary song and add the beatbox , just incredible ❤❤❤❤❤❤

For a group with not all that much recognition, the fact that you made easily the best version of this song boggles my mind

My granddaughter is learning this at school so I looked up and was blessed to have stumbled upon this version...Wow just wow.

This is one of the few times when I adore humanity ... omg the harmonies

For a boy, born on the wind, his heart molded by earth, may his soul be spirited and heart full of love.

It's impossible to watch this without a massive smile

This Wellerman edition stoled my heart guyss❤️😍🌟loved it

Fabulous…. Simply amazing…

I’ve heard this song sung by lots of different people and I still feel like this one is the best. It still gives me chills. You guys really gave it life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I can't stop hearing it 😅 that high note part at 1:35 🔥🔥🔥 subscribed them 💯

These guys are friendship goals

0:59 The cutest tea I've ever seen.

Theres nothing more better than 4 Dudes making music like this

My dad was Navy. I went Army. But back in the day when this song was relevant, there was nothing more bad ass than being in the navy. At sea for months. Canons blasting, boarding an enemy ship in close quarters with a short sword and fighting until somebody gave up and surrendered their ship. It's unimaginable today.

LETS GO TRILLS HECK YES

Fantastic!! I love the frendship spirit and the musical interpretation of this old song!!

this version gives me chills. the arrangement is great

Thank you all so much for the love and support of Wellerman! Our upcoming Holiday EP "Like It's Christmas" drops November 19th! Pre-save to Spotify now to hear it when it releases! distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thetrills/like-its-christmas-2

Amazing harmony in their voices - just love it x

"You can't repeat a one song for so many days" "Yeah... about that"❤

Excellent! The mix of quite traditional harmonies reminiscent of Swingle Singers with the drive of the beatbox, daring rhythm changes and amazing variety in the arrangement!

歌声が素晴らしい。 鳥肌が立ちます

Awsome in 15 mins I heard it like 7 times so good love the harmony especialy with the girls’ voices so perfect 💙💜💝 🇯🇴🇧🇷 such a modern spin on the old shanty

I'm all for the sea shanty craze. the way they constructed the melodies of those old songs was amazing and it's why they last. i feel like bert jansch is smiling from the skies.

I need 10 hours please- I keep putting this song for 5 hours LMAO

The amount of talent in this video is just unbelievable!

This is the best version of "Wellerman" that I've heard. Did you know this is from New Zealand? The Wellerman was an employee of the Weller brothers, who supplied whaling ships. The whale referred to is a Southern Right whale.

What beautiful balance! Even when the women started singing it sounded like a church choir, it was so angelic!

This is fantastic! I've been through many of the Tiktok versions, and this one brings many new joys for a frequently covered song.

DAMN AARON LAY IT DOWN MY GUY

This group has the best blend ever!!!

How am i just discovering you guys. Amazing

When they sing together, they look really happy

the trills are keeping me FED

This is an awesome rendition of this song!!

This is pure amazing! This sounds like something that crew mates in Assassins Creed Origins, Valhalla would sing! Pirates of the Caribbean and Assassins Creed gives me vibes of this song

Thanks to this, 2021 will beat 2020's tooshie

Best group or choir version and arrangement ever! Respect!👍❤️

By far, my favorite version on this song.

0:47 that beat was so unexpected and so good👏👏

Now this is what the world needs, unity through music.

Can’t help, but listen to this on repeat. I’m probably not the only one here. And I honestly can’t help, but sing along to this version because it’s so damn catchy! Also you guys should consider putting your music on iTunes as well as Spotify.

This song is way much better n enjoyable than the original one. I watch this video almost every day. It's too good!

older video....still highly appreciated. Everything in here was PERFECTION. Each person had their part and they did it well. The harmony was insane and we could still pick out each part to appreciate each one individually. Why this hasn't gotten more views if your TT got 50M, I'll never know. It deserves so much more.

YEAHHHHHH GO TRILLS

Thanks for doing a full version

GREATNESS...Thanks

Every time I hear the song I visualize it I can see the bow dip can hear and see the splash of the ocean against the ship, sails fluttering in the Wind. Experiencing a storm in the middle of the Atlantic is one hell of an invigorating experience. I know. U.s. Navy vet

This is the first time I've heard someone use a liproll and a spit snare/BMG snare in an Acapella, amazing❤️

These people have quickly become some of my favorite people

No words found to comment. Just wow!!

Weller man by Nathan evans is so good

This is amazing! But as a bassist I have to appreciate the in the pocketness and cleanliness of all the rhythms of the beatboxer. I especially loved the half-time feel to the end! Amazing job!

I am in love with this group!!!!

Broo this is literally a masterpiece collection

The “take out leave and go” part was perfect

please put this on Spotify its really calming

Only 11.7k subs? Y'all should be close to a million. Such an underrated acapella group.

Yo boys Sea shanty is my favourite quote this year

Please....whatever you guys do, don't EVER stop making music!

I have some Irish relatives so I'm about 1/4 Irish, and these shanties touch a part of my heart that I didn't even realize was there. What a wonderful awakening! As a musician, the choral arrangements you sing are wonderful! Thank you for sharing!
