Me too! Its so cool and I can sing along with the song!

Makes you horny at a primal level you cant avoid

I mean if someone drove a person you deeply deeply cared for to their own demise - you too would be in that same boat (Or whale I guess).

It really helps to show how terrible this performance is

@@JoeSmith-sl9bq no.

​@@SamuraiHateryes, it really is an utterly horrible performance.

Honestly imo not really. It'd make more sense for him to be alot more emotional and more expressive since he's finally found the guy after 15-20 years. Him being blank faced and unchanging just makes no sense to me

I'd say more silently fearful/thoughtful and knowing what might come next

Probably because there is zero chance he is the rake of the boy's story, since that was 15 years ago, yet he aged half a century

the original 'you took everything from me!' 'I don't even know who you are'

Someone did all this for a retarded college grade? Wow, I'm shocked.

@@dionysus3774 shocked.... I'm horny. This is the song of one who embraces neutral chaos

Decemberist's made the song, not a version of it.

DarkesT, Yes so that would be the original *version*.

@@boxlessone1046 Thank you for that

Decemberists did it better, also, historical relativism is at play here. Songs like this typically found themselves in English folklore. I dont mean to be racist, but people are interjecting their ideologies into songs about sea chanties based on real events.

@@BlyatBear , are you being serious? The fact that you refer to this song narrated from a character inside a whale's belly as "based on real events" suggest that you're joking and making fun of anti-SJW weirdos who get all butthurt whenever they see a person of color in a piece of entertainment. But, KZfaq being what it is, I still have some lingering fear that you might mean it.

Is he Asian or Indian? As a kid, he looks asian but as an adult, he looks Indian. Not that it matters. It's a good video.

@@jellydopenut2073 those are the same thing, the Indian subcontinent is apart of larger Asian.

Joel Atwater yes yes but he means eastern Asian, you’re just being pedantic. Besides, India is its own subcontinent really. You know what he was saying, and it was a valid point. The child’s appearance is nothing like the adult’s

Allstar Sup more like 20 years

@@connormclernon26 that would still only make him 38 my dude.

GMNEESON I know.

imo this fact i still dont think can fully explain it, but the era of this setting you were a graying old man at 35-45 white past that but yea cant explain him less it was actually more like 25 years as doesn't say he is still a young adult when he over hears the tale, nor how long it actually took the ship to run in to the other ship as that could have been months or even years as it also doesn't say the whaler was just getting off the boat, he could have been off for a while and then gone to the priests.

Also how he lost his Asian features

Yeah, and the man has a true gift for displaying his sentiment. You can clearly see the evolution of the dude's feelings as his face contorts from emotions such as despair, all the way into an obvious form of absolute terror.

Especially in contrast to the lead

Old men age pretty well. Hard to make a already kinda not beautiful human less beautiful with age.

S e x y

I would

How else would he get the widow

Shut it you fury bastard

Fear Can manifest itself in millions of ways it's not always visual some people who are afraid smile even though that's demented in a lot of other people's eyes but it's still a reaction of fear for example when I'm afraid I don't display it put my fingers I have this twitch that's consistent roughly every 5 to 10 seconds that they will switch without my control and it's because of my anxiety and my fear is getting bigger bigger

He looks alot older than 38 aswell that must've been a long 20 years since he was 18 😂 , really good video though

@@wellthen.......9384 bro the kid swapped from Asian to indian

​@@TemujinRKhando me a favor and Google what continent Indonesia and Polynesia are in, alright bud?

@@Timbo__Slice I would argue that the man is established to be a heavy drinker, and alcoholism can definitely age you physically. I think that combined with being out at sea time and time again over long periods probably contributed to his haggard appearance, that and people who are in their mid-30s can start going gray/white, especially if their constitution isn't the best. I know this comment is old, just something I was thinking about myself... this is the only explanation I came up with. If you want to think more metaphorically, you could consider it a stylistic choice, as the younger man seems scarily alive with the prospect of finally getting his revenge, while the other is frail, gray, almost dead-looking. He's "not far from his end," as it were.

what animatic

There are many animatics. This is a tribute song to the original. The animatics use the actual song from the Decemberists. Usually

True a full scale muscial or a stage play would be a abouslute amazing experience

Phantom of the Opera meets A Boy Named Sue! "My name is Sue! How do you do? Now you're gonna DIE!" 🖤RIP Johnny Cash🖤

He should be. This is probably not the first persons family he’s ruined at the age he’s shown in. He probably doesn’t remember the kid.

There are theories that suggest the guy he kills isn't the actual captain, and just some guy he found who he can take out his anger on before death. So confusion kind of makes sense in that aspect.

@@noelle3780 I definitely believe the creators of this took that interpretation. Simply based on what we see.

@@noelle3780 if so, it can take on a new reading. He knows they'll die anyway so he might as well ease the boy's pain. Is it unlikely? possibly but we've seen stranger things in fables

Yeah plus the voice is just a bit TOO grating in the original. Like, I get it she’s a depraved, crazy woman but any time after my first time listening to the song it just worsens the experience. Not to mention anytime I’m playing it in public it’s the only part other people ever hear and it always freaks them out

@@xystem4701 actually, that is the part they tend to clap after because they liked it. At one live concert, everyone even joined in when that part came on.

@@selestedoesntevencare2169 I found myself maniacally singing that refrain yesterday, while thinking of my ex-husband who did all he could to destroy me and his son, 30 years ago. Our's is a long story involving kidnap and murder, and I appeared on "Unsolved Mysteries" in 1997 to describe his crimes. I can't watch that episode, I look so dead inside but I was anything but. I was controlling my rage. My ex went to prison for 4 years, on a different charge. He was never indicted for murder. When I found he was to be released, I sold my house and moved 1500 miles with my little boy and our two cats. When I got to my new state, I went to court and changed my name to something very common, and was able to get some recent details removed from my credit report so he couldn't track me. 20 years ago, I bought a 20 acre property in the mountains, no neighbors for 2 miles. We're off-grid, only one dirt road to my house so I know when someone is driving this way. We've lived peacefully here for 17 years. Last month my son received a letter. From the man who murdered our family member and hurt us in every way he could. He's found us. My son is 31 now. We discussed what to do if this monster shows up. We just don't know which of us should pull the trigger. My son is a better shot, but if someone goes to prison for ending that monster's reign of terror, it should be me. My son asked, "What if you're incapacitated? What if he shoots you first?" With a maniacal grin I sang: THEN... "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his graaaaaaaaaaave!"🎶

^ What they said! Also the last cut at the end was Perfect

Eh he doesnt sound like he is putting enough emotion into it, and the beginning was extremely shaky

You already said that nvm

The singer has a weak performance. He should have just mouthed over the original.

The song does mention "After twenty months at sea". So he was almost 2 years catching up with the ship I believe?

yeah thought the same thing lmao

Life hit him so hard it slapped the Asian out of him

Huh sounds like what happened to me

The 18 year old became 80 as well

Went from Asian to Indian....old man went from 15 years difference between them to nearly 40. Ugh. Decemberist version 1001x better.

I know want you mean

Because other videos have a better version of that song

Overlord Alfredo but why not this song this is so good

@@bittlesthecookieakacaitcat8798 yes the original is very good, but this version is nowhere close to that... far beyond the skills of the performers in this video

Overlord Alfredo that makes more sense

It's not his dad but yes he shouldn't be that old.

@@ashv9565 not his dad.........?

@@ashv9565 oh wait yeah your right. I forgot he said he was three when his mom met him.

@@ashv9565 i like how you refer to him as an object kek

@@malcolmpurple3686 soooo... R we just ignore ur profile pic?

Hahaha

I would agree with you on all but the acting unless you have a stupidly low standard for acting. They were all meh at best. The mother did put the most effort so bravo to her. The captin had most of his emotions shown through his makeup with the dark circles on his eyes. While the main dude was lifeless the entire song and gave little to no emotion the entire time. I mean in the whale scenes he looked liked he was reading the most uninteresting book in the world then smiled a little for a whole of like 3 seconds and went back to lifeless for the ending. For the whole thing I give it As and Bs besides acting thats a D-. They would get a F but the mother saved, i mean hell the child gave more emotion than the main dude.

That's actually not always the case you would be amazed of how burnt-out people are where they're filled with so much emotion that their emotional display doesn't present any of it because you have been wanting and tasting it for so long an empty feeling of Darkness takes you over

I feel like the emotionless expression and such actually make it better, cause we see this sort of change in character, he goes from seeming tired and battered down, such would be the case for someone who loses everything they have, but slowly see him build into that almost manic sort of glee as he reaches the point of killing the man who ruined his and his mother’s life

Sam?!

My only complaint is that the old man showed regret on his face throughout the video while listening to his past. I kind of imagined the man in the song to be sitting down, uncertain about what he'll do once he's finished with the story, not regretting his past. At the end it got better since the old man's face showed that he was curious what the mariner would do next but still didn't really have a scared look on his face. Other than these two things though the video was really good.

I like that he’s emotionless though. He comes across as dead inside and hollowed out as though nothing remains of him other than revenge

The actor portraying the boy as a young man is so handsome and if that's his real voice, he's talented! I hope he pursues a career in entertainment.

sea of thieve me friend this is why

@@jaybornkiller I'm not sure I understand

@@greypoint000 its a game people search more pirate song

An animantic of the song has been going around recommendations.

KZfaq algorithim my friend

Back then you were lucky to live to be 33 so 33 was old

Kalil Jackson lmao fair enough, still doesn’t quite explain the white hair tho

I mean, my dad looked like that when he was 40, its not too outlandish

it seems like it ws more than a couple months between when they met and she died. also he was looking for him almost 2yrs I say 35ish

perhaps he would have been happier. but likely not. he was an urchin, adrift. without purpose, he likely would have floundered, becoming a wastrel or criminal or maybe just wasting away and dying. instead, he was given purpose, something to dedicate himself to. and something to give him peace when he died, knowing he had accomplished his life's goal. certainly not the worst way to go.

She had lost her mind remember

filipino?

@@lj-wp3sf Holy shit this makes sense lmao.

His dad wasn't an asian apparently

We are all brothers

no she died on the side of the road

The decemberists wrote the song if that's what you mean

@@tyalex_1044 yea, and their version is much better in my opinion. Has so much more lustre that this one lacks.

You've answered your own question my friend, at least partially.
