My mom showed this to me and said I listened to it all the time when I was really little. It's nice to hear it and brings back memories

Unique sound. The shift into the deep "Yo-ho" voices is very effective. And her voice stands out on all her material.

Beautiful song,beatiful voice,I just discovered it today.

While some folks row way up to heaven I'm gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel I'm gonna sow these feet for dancin' I'm gonna keep my eyes wide open Mm, mmm mm Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo, ho ho Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho Yo, ho ho Sing The Pirate's Gospel Add another flame to our forest Where big bellied whales keep us chanting We're slapping fireflies for tiny dancers Where the children creep Until the morning When the sun does seep Into our bare flesh Until the fingernails Will take us home Mm, mmm mm Yo-ho, yo-ho, yo, ho ho Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho Yo, ho ho Sing The Pirate's Gospel While some folks pray Their path to Jesus We're gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel We're gonna sow our feet for dancing We're gonna keep our eyes wide open We're gonna sing The Pirate's Gospel We're gonna chant The Pirate's Gospel You'll find us clap The Pirate's Gospel Mm, mmm mm Yo-ho, yo-ho-ho, yo, ho ho Yo-ho, yo-ho Yo, ho ho Sing The Pirate's Gospel Sing The Pirate's Gospel

this is special-its new and old at the same time its a beauty..

Alela Diane should be way, way up there with the stars. What a talent, what a beautiful voice.

Beautiful lyrics, beautiful harmony, beautiful Alela 💜

I love that song I heard for the first time on my son's boat. It sas a full moment of happiness, not far from Brest and Camaret

I listen to this song and the first thing that comes to mind is a cabin in the woods, snow-covered conifers, a fire in the fireplace and sitting in an armchair having a hot chocolate while a snowstorm falls outside.

I've liked this song for a while... THANKS for the video! she is as beautiful as her voice

ce Gospel m'enchante, c'est un régal...

Alela's incredible singer. Love her so much

Hace pocos días he descubierto esta canción y no paro de escucharla. Gracias 💜🌹🍀

Beautiful gospel! Amazing songwriting! My heart beats fast when I hear this song❤

I was reminded of this song by a friend. So glad she did.

J adore, quelle voix, quelle intensité. 💕🙋‍♀️

Revisiting this song, and it is bittersweet. Thank you Bob my kindred spirit, music loving friend. Missing you so much sweetie. ♥•.¸¸.•´¯`•. ♫

La page sur Amazon d'un fort bel album de Moriarty (dont je pleure à chaque fois ou presque à l'écoute de "Jimmy") m'a amené à cette pépite musicale. Le genre de musique qui prend aux tripes. J'en suis à la énième écoute et ne m'en lasse pas...

i love the strumming of this song immensely(not to mention how her voice accentuates it)

Love this song! ❤

This is another great video for alternative music. Thanks, Fargo! 12 Hours after posting... Honors for This Video: #67 - Top Favorites (Today) - Music - France

Your singing carried me through the mountains of BC , from Vancouver to The prairies, a 27 hour bus ride, I had gotten stranded at the bus station off the ferry from Victoria, slept in the bus depo ,but got kicked out at 3a,m , downtown Vancouver, stood like a horse under a streetlight by the trees , sleep standing half waking. I had a trigger on the island , relapsed ptsd " caused by a two year long lsd trip from a overboard overdose " .. needless to say . An interesting trip home . Unable to describe on such a venue, but through the hell I was in , your singing was heaven sent . The haunted melodies, matched my haunted spirit . . In a strange way . I miss those sorts of times intensely. Like James Taylor said " I'd have to be some sort of natural born fool , to wanna pass that way again " , well maybe I'm a bit if one . But no fooling! You've a magic voice . Your singing , your music , lyrics .. was such a gift to find , in such strange times . Thankyou . You spoke to my soul. The pain and the terror of it , for a time . Fell into wonder and silent awe instead . Many years later now , feels like . I've come a long long way since then . But I keep all the best parts of my life , the joy and struggles . Close . Your music will always be a piece of the magic of my strange and hard to articulate life . Is what I'm trying to say . Really hope Alela gets this thankyou , it's from my heart and soul . Life is a long strange trip indeed . Music sure helps on the journey.

Oh, she is just awesome. beautiful!

this is one of my favorite songs ever.

I'm shocked!!! it's so emotional, so beautiful!!

que bonito canta! y su mama canta hermosas canciones Rancheras y en espanol !Que bonita familia! un saludo desde Ixtapa Zihuatanejo

Great stuff. Never heard of her before. Nice voice. Would be a good song to learn.

Oh I love your perfect song which i listen from 2017

...i still love it...

How do I stop from constantly coming back to this song? I have other shit that needs doing.

i love this folk style. she is awesome! Everyone should know her and The Decemberists!!!!

Lovely. And I thought I was fedd up with pirates for the rest of my life after Depp and Bloom jumped of the screen. I was wrong. what's even better: this is not her only song! ;) awesome!

wunderschöner Song, i loved him

ALELA , uma cantora jovem de grande brilho.

Wow ! so many memories of my childhood

How could i miss this talented singer !

Really RAD! Wonderful moody music!

Magnifique ❤️🇨🇵

-i love this track!!! :)

From all your fans and friends in Nevada City, you are awesome.

just voices, banjo, guitar & handclapping! GREAT !!!

Beautiful song !

j'adore cette chanson!!!

Great song! Live is awesome!

i love it

im totally on an americana done dark, sneaky & kinda creepy-vibe. and lo and behold, i go and find it by a happy-accident. this 25 year old is mixing modern-psych-folk, gospel & doing it all w/a compelling and deeply complex voice/vision of misery while she looks so wholesome. alela has such a darkly exquisite eye for narrative and a depth to her perspective that's huge. i bet this kid is gonna be just as big as her talent is someday. & she already seems to have a dedicated following in france.

I love it!!

"some folks pray their path to Jesus We're gonna sing the pirate's gospel . How insightful. she understands the gospels

fantastisches lied, liebe es

Love this

This song is a letter from an unknown woman. Thanks Alela Diane.

beautiful

Great song...im all about call and response.

AHOY! I love it!

i love her voice. want more with headless heroes

Pakkend melodietje! Ben er helemaal verslaafd aan.

Une voix envoûtante

Magnifique chanson !!! A ecouter dans le court metrage "Macadam Peau-Rouge" d'Arnaud Malherbe

So far the best carry-forward of Karen Dalton I know of today. The tempo and style is different but the voice and lyrical quality is quite similar

she has a music video? dang, i thought she wasn't famous enough.. awesome!

Eben in nem Film gehört... echt schön...

OMG! I am totally addicted to this chic right now! I'm going to have to see a doctor soon as I just can't stop listening to this album. It's like crack-cocaine....only better! :-)

@Morigraz definitely it is!

very nice song

How do I explain this is fantastic?!?!? A but hamstrung at the moment, but this is honestly fantastic (I listen all the time, it's fantastic)

Enchanted lyric
