Bro please re-upload the first 4 or atleast give a list of all the songs and the artists. Some of them were so good and I literally cant find them anywhere even if I remember the name I cant find the version you had in the video.
I've been a fisherman for over 20 years and and freight ship pilot as well.I feel sea shanties in me bones 😁.I now have 5 children (almost 50😉), and my two youngest girls, 3 and 4 dance every morning while I have my coffee and wake to the world! They love to dance and what better way to wake and start the day! Thanks C'apn!
That’s awesome, I’ve only been able to fish and be on boats a few times in my life but I love the sea so hopefully when Im on my own I can find somewhere close to it
My brother, commercial fisherman for 48 years until his death in 2015, knew many Irish based sea songs, and lots of filthy ones too! Missing him every day! 😢❤❤❤
Long time ago I was visiting a nursing home in the US and there was a very old Irish gentleman sitting in his wheelchair. He had some form of dementia. He was singing his old Irish ballads, don’t know if it was sea shanties, but he didn’t miss a lick. Singing goes to a different part of the brain than talking (in case you didn’t know). 🧑🎤🎶He seemed petty happy at least for a while.
What a great find. Im a Newfoundlander, from a fishing village and loved Sea Shanties all my life. Living inland currently and this music is all that keeps me sane .
I spent 5 years at sea as a young man and these shanties and others really stir my blood and make me miss my time on the seas! Thanks! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam
Music straight from the soul. I weep for the beauty, but also the dirty fact that modern music cares not about story telling, not in the way that these tunes can strum the very core.
Sea Shanties have found a special place in my heart and tapping of my foot, since a watched the movie showing where the Shanties were part of the fishing in the area. The one in the movie was my favorite but I never could find the name of it! Some made me happy, some to dance and some brought tears and sense of loss. Love them all!!! Thank you so much!!
I spent 11.5 years in the Navy. I had to get out due to some PTSD issues during my fifth tour in Vietnam. Prior to my service, I sailed on the ocean with my cousin. Since then, much of my life has centered on the water. I sail, kayak, and canoe. I'll keep paddling and sailing as long as my health and strength permit me to do so.
Agreed :) Hearing Great Big Sea's version was actually my first time hearing Captain Kidd, and it is definitely an excellent song. I find it very impressive that a song written in 1701, and recorded in 2005, can fit seamlessly alongside other songs recorded years later :)
Coming from Montana, I dreamed of sailing the seas, as a kid. That film gave me a feeling similar to being lost in a Montana wilderness. On and on, with no sign of another human in sight. Feels good.
Boii. You missed the memo that we have mapped more of the surface of the moon than our own seafloors. So explore the oceans all you want, as that is the field most lacking in knowledge.
Was on a side trawlwer in the North Atlantic in a hurricane when she went under the tidal wave at 0330. The ship righted thank God. Her name was the Sanbro, 85 footer. She was cursed before we sailed. The crew stayed drunk along with the Captain. We sailed from Halifax into the storm to fill the hull with haddock. The crew is all gone now. Many were Newfoundlanders. Good chaps they were. I'm the only survivor for I was only 16 in 68. Fourteen days out to sea, four hours on and four hour off. Pirates were they all . A star trailed the crescent moon which warned of the storm. But we sailed into it to fill the hull with only 30 tons of fish. 30 tons payed only 60 dollars minus 30 for the gear.
@@danielfazly1350 Oh, I completely agree. That's actually the exact point I was trying to make. The fact that Captain Kidd (which we both agree is a great song) is my least favorite song in this compilation is only possible because every other song is top-tier.
my absolute favourite set of all your sets, love every song, thank you mate for all the sets, very nice to know there are people who also love this :) ☠🤠
Every summer, I do a weekend kayaking trip with my brother, and one of the highlights is always, always, playing/singing sea shanties as we paddle along. Eventually we want to save up for an actual boat and see where the wind takes us, but for now we at least have this.
Super, reminds me of 60 years ago and organising folk nights at a pub in deepest Lincolnshire, we knew the words to a lot of songs then! Memories of pints, pies and a pickled egg!
I love this LP album I have, "Songs and Sounds of the Sea" by National Geographic, and souvenir CD's from a visit to Mystic Seaport in Connecticut. I love many genres of music, including ballads and work songs.
I was at my sister's place, sitting by the pool, and her kids said to me, "You can hardly swim!" (damn teenagers) "but you were trying to join the Navy and get all misty-eyed when we all go to the beach!" "A man's gotta be in love with something." "So that's why you have so many ex girlfriends and a divorce?" "There's a bit more romance in the sea than someone always harping in your ear. You can be free out there and nobody can find you."
An excellent collection of maritime heritage songs. It would be nice though if RU-vidrs were informed as to which maritime tradition each song comes from. Most of these songs are from the English maritime tradition and from a cultural heritage point of view it would be helpful to that and other traditions if they were recognised as such, and not just generally described as 'folk'. That doesn't detract from this being a very enjoyable collection. Cheers.
Thank you very much for your work and for your compilation.... I am also looking for many years... I am very happy that I found your channel. Unfortunately you don't have such a nice selection on Spotify yet.... But thank you very much... 😍
You're most welcome. Thanks for the kind comments :) Btw, all the songs used in this compilation (and others) can be found in the following Spotify playlist: open.spotify.com/playlist/1x4ap9DsNwFXHsRrMIXaV9
@@_volleKanneHoschi_ Out of interest, when you say RU-vid, do you mean on my channel or other people's channels? Just that I always use Spotify to find songs before using them in videos, so they should be the same
I'm sitting here on a comfortable desk chair, listening to tunes for the first time. Are they real paintings? Songs really "Traditional and Sea songs"? Some of these songs, What do refer to. These tunes are rather catchy, and pleasant to listen to.
