What's your fav song off of 'The Colm Before The Storm' so far? Stay very handsome!

For everyone not understanding the Navy slang here. Man-O-War - a naval ship that was designed for combat and not for merchant service. Civies - regular civilian clothes. Killick - Most senior seamen among enlisted sailors but junior to a petty officer. Mainyard - The yard of the mainmast, from which the mainsail is hung. Stoker - A sailor who is responsible for all coal handling with the exception of the actual fueling of the boilers. Aldiss Lamp - Signal lamp for optical communication, typically using Morse code. Semaphore - an alphabet signaling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern. Bunting-tosser - Also known as Bunts are sailors who hoist signal flags. That's your bleeding lot - All you get / beer. Tot - a daily ration of rum. Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast - telling how a ship was maintained in the old days and that they don’t do that anymore.

Two handsome Irish boys with lovely voices and awesome sweaters. Thank you for the collaboration on this.

Well, my father often told me when I was just a lad "A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad!" But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-of-war And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor anymore Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Well, the killick of our mess, he says we had it soft It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for? Swinging from the deckhead or lying on the floor Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore They gave us an engine that first went up and down Then, with more technology, the engine went around We know our steam and diesel, but what's a mainyard for? A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Two cans of beer a day, and that's our bleeding lot And now we've got an extra one because they stopped the tot So we'll put on our civvy clothes, find a pub ashore A sailor's just a sailor, just like he was before Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast If you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore

I've been hoping for this collaboration for a long time, and it does not disappoint.

Two of my favorite music artists of the past year. 2 of the few artists that have helped keep the state of my mental health afloat and have always given me a reason to smile every day…and they did a duet together! I am a happy man. Colm and Seth, if you guys are reading this, I want to say the biggest THANK YOU! Cheers friends 🍻

Oh my god thank you

A fantastic cover and team up, brother bear. Hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving and are havin' a blast now that the albums out!

But, its not actually the last shanty right?

My two favorite Irish artists in one song. This is it right here, we've reached our peak.

My two favorite singers together! Best day ever! 🙌

It is 3am. I was about to go to bed. And then this came in my queue. "Oh okay I can be calm... IS THAT FUCKING SETH?" In other words, I didn't read the title and was very pleasantly surprised! Cheers!

I'm still so over the moon that y'all collabed !!! this cover scratches my brain just right 🤌

Lyrics: Well, me father often told me when I was just a lad A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war And now I've found a sailor, ain't a sailor any more Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Well, the killick of our mess he says we had it soft It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for? Swinging from the deckhead, or lying on the floor? Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore They gave us an engine that first went up and down And then with more technology, the engine went around We know our steam and diesels but what's a mainyard for? A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore And two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot And now we've got an extra one because they stopped The Tot So we'll put on our civvy-clothes and find a pub ashore A sailor's just a sailor just like he was before Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore

I truly love the all the overlap among Irish/folk musicians and singers across the internet; it seems half the beauties I've followed independently over the last 5 years or so have collaborated with each other, with consistently spectacular results! Thanks, Seth & Colm, for another banger collab! Stay handsome!

This is amazing. Every bar/pub with a Karaoke night needs this song to be a required performance every time they do it.

YESYESYES such a perfect Mashup 2 of my favorite Irish singers. Cant stop listening FULL LOVE!!! Please do more songs ❤️ together 😂🎉

The crossover we were all waiting for! Hope there's more!

Oh, good! We ended up getting a video for this footstomper. As always for those who want to sing along: Well, me father often told me when I was just a lad A sailor's life is very hard, the food is always bad But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war And now I've found a sailor, ain't a sailor any more Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast And if you see a sailing ship, it might be your last Just get your civvies ready for another run-ashore A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore Well, the killick of our mess he says we had it soft It wasn't like that in his day when we were up aloft We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for?

Lol KZfaq notified me of this song: 9 days (more than a week) after it released. After I had already watched this thrice.

This is such a great collaboration! Two of the absolute best right here!

Oooh this is pretty! This might become my new Colm favorite

Aye a flat cap, sweet. Screw Christmas Music, I'd be listening to this since I'm a sucker for Irish Sea Shantys

Now we need one about machine learning replacing anybody lol.

Great shanty. SO Irish. So shanty. Makes me want a pint on this cold and wet winter's eve.

It's a good day when my two favorite Irish singers get together! Love you both and stay handsome!

The crossover of the century

Listening to this makes me feel like i should have a large stein of beer in my hand while standing aboard a pirate ship

I've said it ONCE & I'll say it AGAIN, your TRULY AMAZING & I LOVE your voice!! Your DEEP VOICE, is sincerely one that makes me FEEL things, no Lady should admit too❤❤😊

"A sailors life is very hard and the food is always bad" just hits me personally. I remember on day in the galley I bit down on a burger and felt like I almost broke my tooth. To see if it was me or the burger I smacked it on the table and it left a dent

The song makes me want a pint 🍺 and some waves 🌊

My favorite singers!!

Ramblin' home again and Over and Under I'm really enjoying, I love your music Colm and I hope you keep up the good work..
