I'm with you!

A lot of people do this what you have done and then they realize hey these are actually pretty good

Yes, it is the superior music

Same these are firw

Well, unlike you, I was actually born in the 1700s so I get that nostalgic feeling for a reason

Hey maybe you were a sailor in another life. Who knows.

Yarr thou blood have sailorrs rots too i see

Hiraeth (Welsh pronunciation: [hɪraɨ̯θ, hiːrai̯θ]) is a Welsh word for homesickness or nostalgia for a home that no longer exists or never was, an earnest longing or desire, or a sense of regret or a home you never knew. Anemoia: nostalgia for a time you've never known. These shanties make me feel both of these.

I'm from Nova Scotia so sea shanties and nautical themed folk tunes are my childhood.

Did you know there are authentic recordings of sailors from the 1800s singing sea shanties? This video has 127 recordings of 37 shanties: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6tkm7SVp93Pm2g.html

Can’t agree more

Heh. Well that first song in Frozen managed to hit... but of course that's because they did the whole working song thing.

Personally I love both.

there is a choir at epcot that sings traditional songs, and it was really special to see it up close. Im from brazil by the way.

I find a lot of songs like shanties, and nursing rhymes way better without any music and just clear vocals.

Oh, I listen to ocean sounds with sea shanties.

I wouldn't mind background music, but it's still good

They also use things around the deck to help with background and rhythm. Beating a drum, slapping knees, background vocals like Acapella, etc.

Sea shanties: hold my rum.

Most sea shantys are to keep the crew in rhythm so the job rhey were doing would get done efficiently. They would have to push, pull or heave in unison as the ship's sails were too heavy for one person.

Too right, and astronauts have already been singing in space, ever since Wally Schirra smuggled that harmonica onboard one of the Gemini missions orbiting Earth and up to Chris Hadfield playing his acoustic on the ISS.

They aren't going to sing in space. This age is soulless compared to the old.

It's okay, they always build another one for the sequel!! If you're Kirk or Picard... (Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner could fit in with these dudes and love it though.)

It's actually a metaphor for your home country and how you need to see past patriotism and just leave her. (Or something like that with Ireland) Not that you're wrong either, I just find it a neat tidbit that adds such depth to it

@@merlockmerlin1065 Not quite, it is literally about leaving the ship, after each voyage in the days of sail the ships crew was paid off with the exception of her permanent crew. Her permanent crew were usually specialists, and in the case of civilian vessels, the owner (though not always as many owners did not Captain their ships). So you are talking positions like the ships Carpenter, sailmaker, cooper, her Master (not the same as the owner or Captain), and in the case of warships her Master Gunner. Most of the other crew however would sign on for a single voyage, and even in navies the crew would be paid off after the ship reached home for a spell on shore, then be assigned to a new ship... EXCEPT those permanent crew.... On many ships her Captain and officers would come and go, her sailors also, but her Warrant Officers would only be replaced if they died or if the ship was decomissioned and broken up. Leave Her Johnny was an arrival Shanty, your ship has broght you home after a perilous voyage, you will be sad to leave her, but she brought you home, you are sad to leave her, as she was a good ship and brought you home, but you are home. Leave her Johnny, as there will be the next ship, and maybe she wil not be as kind.....

@@alganhar1 actually it is : literally: about the Irish Potato Famine, and how they had to leave their home...ship and sail to America. The songs story is then (originally) sung in the context of Johnny reaching ashore in America, though being reluctant to leave his home. She can't support him. She's a sinking ship. And let's now hope for the American dream

I bet they do.. and they say: “it’s ok my child, you will be fine”

not that i know of

stepping and vocal?

a lot of shanties recently are accompanied by instruments and even more, unfortunately, are accompanied by hard rock music. Vocal only should be called "Traditional" however

Add in some sort of string or flute, maybe a guitar idk

Curtis Smith traditionally there were no musicians as every hand was expected to work. The shantyman was working whilst singing. A good shantyman was valued because he could get a crew to work more efficiently. Too many shanty groups don't sing these songs as work songs with the emphasis on the words where the work was done. I sing with two groups in Hastings, England and we sing shanties as work songs.

I honestly prefer the AC4 remix of that song. I prefer the singers voice and the lyric changes

You know it’s talking about their ship, right?

@@mothhowl3024 yes I am aware. She was a mighty sea vessel.

Good riddance, throw the las overboard.

This is not a sad song, but was a "pump shanty" sung in port after the voyage was done when the ship's hold was last pumped out and the sailors left to collect their pay. "Because of leakage of water into the holds of wooden ships, they had to be regularly pumped out. The frequency and monotony of this task inspired the singing of many shanties. One design of pump worked very similarly to the brake windlass, while another, the Downton pump, was turned by handles attached to large wheels. Examples: "Strike the Bell," "Fire Down Below," "South Australia", and "One More Day." An example of special note is "Leave Her, Johnny, Leave Her" (also known as "Time for Us to Leave Her"), which was generally sung during the last round of pumping the ship dry once it was tied up in port, prior to the crew leaving the ship at the end of the voyage." You want a tragically sad sailing song about a ship sinking, try this classic from Steele Eye Span--"Let Her Go Down": kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hLZldLOqsMqldYk.html
