The shanty-like music (specificaly 2:12) really cements the feeling of Boralus as some seaside town for me. So far Kul'tiras' music is some of the best produced by Blizz.
Saw on Wowhead's Kul Tiran guide that this portion of the KT music is heavily influenced by a real sea shanty called "Roll the Old Chariot". Here is a link to the a video of a group of people in New Hampshire singing it. It's literally the exact same song. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-49FWp7WLYKw.html The vocals to the song at 4:18 make this song even more like the original and therefore more awesome .
I may not play WoW anymore, but God.. the music is irreplaceable. I always look up for the music of new expansions and i'm never disappointed. I always find treasures like this song! Thank you so much for sharing!
When I was at Blizzcon and wandered to the Dark Moon Faire, David Arkenstone (I recognized him with his long hair n all) was playing with a bunch of bandmates and was playing the song played at 2:12 - 2:15 It was so wonderful to listen to it live as they played it faster and faster like you would at a traditional dance One of those moments where I should've totally recorded it
Gotta appreciate that Blizz at least knows who to go to for medieval-ish tavern music. David Arkenstone’s been holding down the fort for decades. (Along with others of course but WOW he’s done so many tracks for the taverns and the game at large!)
I haven't read all the comments yet, but I read on Wowhead that the music at 2:12 is heavily influence by a real sea shanty called "Roll the Old Chariot". Here is a link to a video of a group of people in New Hampshire singing it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-49FWp7WLYKw.html. It's literally the exact same song! So so good. I love when the vocals come in at 4:18. It makes the song feel even more real.
@@fotis7312 that's the trick with music from that area. The tune can be Irish, English, Scottish, or even German, yet it is known by all 4. Look up a song called the Twa Corbies fir an example of this: in Germany it's the Three Ravens. Same tune, very different lyrics.
