Fun Fact: This video is the first to showcase the accurate colour palette of England. :)

So, when Dave forgets to colour his nails, all colour goes out of the world?

Aaaaaand we have a new favourite!

Imagine a Moby Duck music video where you guys are fighting a huge inflatable duck on a lake

I don't know why, but it makes me laugh every time they cut to Dave not doing anything but just sort of vibing. It's like he's the one kid who doesn't say anything during the class presentation, he just stands up there with the rest of his group and nods.

Just finished watching the Four Hours video and read the comment of someone requesting this, what great timing

The artist makes the simple spectacular: The Longest Johns turn a studio into an aquarium and us into fishes (equipped with appropriate fish-eyes), JD's shed wall into a comedy theatre, the Tyndale monument into Mount Rushmore, a forest into a cathedral, a car into a stage, a field of flowers into an ocean, cardboard boxes into a ship, a veranda into a deck, their own studio into a galley, the sheddy into a hold, and the local harbour into cold Greenland. I love your magic, Johns!

The internet: "Noooooo, you can't just play super cheerful and super depressing songs one after the other!" The Longest Johns: "haha, "Cures What Ails Ya" go "brrr"!"

Another one off the faves list that's been given a music video WOOT!

i mean like, bonny do be shippin' the diamond tho

It's funny, I've been listening to this song for the whole week, nonstop and now there Is I a music video!

Y'know, at first I didn't care for this song when I heard it on the album. I mean, I didn't hate it, but I didn't especially like it either. But the more I listened to it, the more it grew on me, and now it's definitely one of my favorites. The last verse where the instruments go silent and everyone's singing in unison gets me good, in a way that it wouldn't if the whole song were a capella like that.

[Verse 1] The Diamond is a ship me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses 'round; Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide O and the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky [Chorus] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale [Verse 2] Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around With shawls all pulled around them and their salt tears running down; Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind [Chorus] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale [Verse 3] Here's a health to the Resolution, (HEY) likewise the Eliza Swan Three cheers for the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame; We wear the trousers of the white and jackets of the blue When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew [Chorus] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale [Verse 4] It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame Our ship full up with oil, me lads, and money to our name; We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear And every lass in Peterhead sing: "Hushabye, my dear" [Chorus] For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

"Ok guys, let's all wear dark clothes for this one." Robbie: "You're not my boss! I can do whatever I want!"

I have become obsessed with this song over the past few weeks. It's SO much better when you know all the words and can sing along. Thank you once again, you sweet, sweet boys.

I cannot tell you the elation I feel every time I'm listening to a playlist and I hear 0:01 I'm never not in the mood to listen to this song.

Always have to replay the bit at 2:38 because of how clean the harmony is

Favorite song of the album

When you get in the shower and the water is still too cold and hits your back: 1:54

Andy's part is AMAZING in this video!

THE BIGGEST OF BANGERS

Dave hanging out in trees is becoming a theme. 🌳 Great video, as usual!

I love Dave up the tree with his whistle

Ooh, Dave is so painfully cool here you could almost forget his massive nerdy streak 😆 Ps but we love the nerd bit too

Shout out two the two dudes in the back. Never mentioned but recognition deserved

I spend 3 whole days singing songs like this one with friends, for fun ('cause we are not really good singers lmao), and honestly, it is one of the most satisfying thing to do! You guys must really enjoy your life x)

I have heard uncounted parodies or filks of Bonny Ship the Diamond. But for some reason have no recollection of ever hearing the original before. Top notch guys.

Most adequate, it appears Robbie missed the wear black memo

Yesss! A music video for one of my favorite song! Now I can't wait for mody duck😏 that would be a fun one!

Ooooh, who are the new bass(or maybe cello?) and drum players?

You've done it again, lads :)

Dave is killing it on that pennywhistle

My favourite song of all time gets a music video? Good day indeed.

Amazing video for one of my favourite songs. C Y A next bandstream guys.

I have been WAITING for this.

- Fantastic! Love your tones, they linger in the mind and soul. "We All Lift" always shakes me to the core.

Just thinking about this today! Super excited since this is one of my favourites!

Adequatober 10th again! Thank you Johns!

Adequate! I won’t lie, Robbie does look good with grey hair, even if it is just the selective coloring effect

YES BOYS. One of my absolute all time fav's. Was singing this along with my Dad today as we drove from London to Leicestershire to move me back home (a decision partly inspired by Oak & Ash & Thorn).

I recorded this song back about ‘95 shortly after I moved to Nashville. Wish I could find the tape. Due to a glitch, Davis Strait came out Faithis Strait. Sang my own harmony, played guitar in DADGAD. I like their version better.

This is basically one of my top favs from Cures What Ails Ya, and probably of all time.

I am glad to see that you were able to acquire one whole drummer :)

Nice to see my favourite get a music video. Cheers Johns!

I don't know how this thought entered my mind... but you guys should totally collab with Weird Al Yankovic.

these guys deserve 1 mil. subs,

The Longest Johns creates yet another amazing music video! Never heard this song before but i can already see it as a favourite

I was kinda secretly hoping you'd do this one, I had been listening to yous on spotify and this is one of my faves

When will you do a South Australia music video? It's my favorite, and there's no videos of you guys performing it that I can put in a playlist :C

The contrast of everything but you guys being in greyscale looks pretty damn cool.

Another wonderful music video! Was also great to see Rich and Antonio added in there as well!

Sweet light strings of Arcadia. That was great

After I learned the guitar part to this it's become my single favorite thing to play

This song has been one of my favorites

Yasss this is one of my favorites

I don’t have a witty comment, I’m just commenting so the algorithm boosts the video

I'm crying this is one of the first folk songs I ever heard as a boy and has remained one of my favorites ever since... this one and johnny jump up. If you guys sang that one too I'd die happy

As A Sailor, True Sailor, Keeping Up The Sailing Tradition Is Too Important. With Media Shattering The Great Culture, There's Little Media I Still Enjoy. Most Of It Is Disgraceful. Not This Crew. The Longest Johns Are One Of The Few Groups That Keeps Me Proud To Be A Sailor. Makes me Proud Not To Run With Engines. They're One Of The Last Remaining Symbols Of The Great Culture That's Been Disgraced By Media. Honestly, All Media And Music Inspired By Sailing Should Look To Them. There's A Chance Sailing Culture Could Still Survive, At Least A Little. From All True Sailors, And All Those Who Are Disgraced By The Majority Of Media, They Will All Stand With Me And Say That This Group Here, Is The Reason We're Still Proud.

love how this sea song manages to be bluesy

A country-esk sea shanty? This cowboy pirate is happy.

I cant even express how hyped up i was when i saw this in my recommended. ive been wondering and waiting for this and i love it

you guys are the best

Thank you! I've been waiting for this since before Health to the Company, Got No Beard, Four hours, Oak and Ash and Thorn, etc.

YESSSS!!!!

I know already, which song I will download and hearin´ the days, when I open the door and walk into the Green

My grandchildren loved this! Used to live in Avon.

Just when I finally got it out of my head, it's back to stay.

Annoying my coworkers by singing Sugar in the Hold louder than the machines we work on finally paid off!

That flute tho

from just the audio alone (tho this music video is also lovely) this is the sexiest cover of this song, especially with that bass

Big props to the editor for the insane rotoscoping! Hope you give them a bonus, I'm tired just looking at it

I always have a hard time picking a favorite song from each album, but this one is definitely up there!

This is my favourite shanty well done John John and the other John!

I really like the colour effects here!

Man, I have this on loop, and it never gets old. Lots of depth to the music, and I really like that!

Here’s the lyrics: The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait we're bound The quay it is all garnished with bonnie lasses 'round Captain Thompson gives the orders to sail the ocean wide Where the sun it never sets, me lads, nor darkness dims the sky For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale Along the quay of Peterhead, the lasses stand around Wi' their shawls all pulled around Their necks and the salt tears runnin' down Well don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you'll be left behind For the rose will bloom on Greenland's ice before we change our mind For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale Here's a health to the Resolution (Hey), likewise the Eliza Swan Three cheers to the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame We wear the trousers of the white and the jackets of the blue When we get back to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale It will be bright both day and night when Greenland lads come hame Our ship full up with oil, my lads, and money to our name We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear And every lass in Peterhead sing: "Hushabye, my dear" (Chorus x4) For it's cheer up me lads, let your hearts never fail For the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

As always. Very Adequate. I give this one an October tenth. (Anyone who wants to add some more insiders?)

Just Played it on guitar... Great Song! ❤️

Whoa whoa whoa who are the two new guys?

I got some really bad news today and this gave me something to smile at. I love it as always!

One of my new favorites

One of my favorite shanties, and now my new favorite way to listen to it

Brilliant!

1:52 That woop is my favourite part of the song xD

Love this song it’s so nice to see it get a music video! Adequate work as always!

Love the black and white attire mixed with the desaturated background. Congratulations on aquiring a rythm section! How about introducing them to us?

Yes It's out! I'm so hyped for my current favorite! 💙💙💙

Always been one of my favourites and I love the video. knowing what happened to the diamond really makes this song hit different though

Looks likes “Wellerman” has some competition.

I've watched this video over so many times between how much I love the song itself (JD's funky guitar riff & Dave's glorious bass voice in the background, ooh.. it's one of my all time favorite LJ's songs to listen to!

New band members approved... I have always loved your instrumentation on this one lads!

I love the upbeat singing in this song and I love to sing along!

Simply glorious lads; that chorus though: exceptional 🙏🙏

I love you guys so much! I have so much fun listening to these songs! Keep doing what you love! I'll pour some black rum and jam to y'alls beautiful voices!

I dig the color mask guys my little film brain went crazy when I saw it

Cheer up me lads! Let your hearts never fail!

i fell in loveee with this type of music... i appreciate this band

One of my favourites, nice to have a music video now :)

You didi it! Ive been waiting for a full version of this song since that 4-hour stream, so glad you finally did it!!!

First time I heard this song was by Gaelic Storm, and this has just made me love the song even more.
