sick shirt.

So this isn't really relevant but I wanna put it here to fuel the algorithm. Anyway recently I've taken up the task of befriending the crows in my backyard. They're quite lovely creatures yah know.

This is now the soundtrack to my morning today 👌👌👌

well how lovely! delightful on the eyes and the ears, the yellow fields combined with robbie's jumper make me very happy

And the sharks they played melodeons, and the shaaaaaarks they played melodeons

When they wear plain clothes I like to imagine they were just chilling and suddenly decided to break out the cameras and sing

This song really hit home with me. It's been 20 years since my father William was taken from my mother Nancy. Such a bittersweet coincidence.

Pleasant and Delightful: The Longest Johns It was pleasant and delightful on a mid-summer's morn' and the green fields and the meadows were covered in corn and the blackbirds and thrushes sang on ever-y green spray and the larks they sang melodious at the dawning of the day And the larks they sang melodious 3x at the dawning of the day Well a sailor and his true love were-a -walking one day said the sailor to his true love I am bound far away I am bound for the East Indies where the loud cannons roar I must go and leave you Nancy you're the girl that I adore I must go and leave you Nancy (3x) you're the girl that I adore Well the ring from off her finger she instantly drew saying take this dearest William and my heart will go too and as they stood embracing tears from her eye fell, saying: "May I go along with you?" "Oh no my love fare well!" Saying: "May I go along with you ?" 3x "Oh no my love fare well!" "Fare thee well my dearest Nancy! I can no longer stay. Fore the topsails are hoisted and the anchors aweigh and the ship she lies waiting for the fast flowing tide, and if ever I return again I will make you my bride!" "and if ever I return again (3x) I will make you my bride!" I was trying to write this out in a way that makes the story in this ballad a bit easier to read while also writing the lyrics themselves This story is about a sailor (William) and his girl (Nancy) this sailor is set to go to (war?) the East Indies and is unsure he will return alive and promising that should he make it back he will marry her I'm not entirely sure if he is serious but the tone of the song makes me believe so

3:38 Me and the boys flexing our pollen immunity

TLJ: We made this absolutely beautiful, sad, sweet piece and filmed a gorgeous scene to put this amazing video together for you guys. The comments: ROBBIE’S SWEATER

Now I have a sudden need to go out and sing shanties in a flower field on a stormy day

Buy tickets to our upcoming live-streamed gig here! It's gonna be awesome! 20th June 8pm Eastern (US). Limited edition t-shirt available to ticket buyers too! boxoffice.mandolin.com/collections/the-longest-johns

Gosh this is so pretty, both musically and aesthetically. Also Robbie's outfit slaps. I want his sweater.

These boys are simultaneously bringing back the sea shanty and the barbershop quartet. Well done.

Any Pratchett fans sitting here just weeping openly?

I've loved this song since I encountered it in "I Shall Wear Midnight", and this rendition is beautiful.

I looked up this song, having last heard it maybe 25 years ago at the "Teddington Folk Club", a weekly event at the The Angler's (I think) pub at Teddington Lock, Surrey. A chap sung this quite often, in an ironic way that always made us laugh - it puts a different perspective on the lyrics, that the sailor was professing true love, but not about to take her with him! "TFC" itself was an ironic title, as punters felt that was a grand title for a bunch of amateurs just getting together for a song and a laugh. Needless to say, I have a lot of nostalgia for that time.

Beautiful, thank you. And thanks to Terry Pratchet who first introduced me to this song.

Don't mind me, just a casual rat fueling the algorithm. I feel bad for giving this a listen almost a week later. Amazing as always! :)

This seems a bit more like a hymn about a sailor rather than a shanty but I'm NOT complaining

"...and the birds got off on music...man, like all they did was sing!"

I want it noted that EVERYONE's outfit slaps in this video. It's important to me that this is noted.

This masterpiece asks for a community project. It's absolutely beautiful, warm, melancholic, sad, happy and cozy all at the same time.

Pleasantly, delightfully adequate! October 10th!

I sing baritone in Imerys Mid Cornwall Male Choir and after rehearsals at St Dennis we went down the social for a pint and chat as per. I came down and some of the old boys were singing shanties and other lovely songs and this was one of them. It was so moving but I couldn't stop smiling. I'll remember it forever and I'm glad I've now found the song.

Spring time in England, the topic of poets for thousands of years

I think it might be the flat lighting due to the clouds, but background of the wide shots makes it look like they've been greenscreened in xD

Robbie looks so sweet with that flower tucked behind his ear. Love the video and your voices, lads!

Adequate!👏 Adequate!👏 The tune reminded me of "over the hills" from Sharpe for some reason 🤔

Soooo...yeah the new BF looks dope

There's a strong "Over the hills and far away" vibe to this melody. And, as always, your harmonizing is just awesome.

The Corridor shirt?!? Now there's a collab I didn't know I needed until now!

This is how you wake up on a Sunday. Long week, peaceful end

I was wondering when you bully boys would do an official video of this song... Of course, it would have to be in June.

I appreciate the Corridor merch

I appreciate that you boys all turned up looking your prettiest.

That roe deer is a sweetheart.

God it’s so beautiful, and that’s just Robbie 😂

Please do "Don't Forget Your Old Shipmate", its my favorite shanty 😊

Longest Jonns have almost single handedly eternalised folk music

the summer would be more beautiful, if i could get out of this quarantine

Beautiful visuals!! I'm sure the deer liked the signing as well!

I've been listening to this song for two years now and my throat still keeps lumping up, stopping me from singing this the whole way through. Such sweet, sweet sorrow

God that field is picturesque.

I see that Corridor shirt, there, friend's. Keep up the good work

This is amazing. You guys are the best, also loving the flowers Robbie. 👍👌

…….and the sharks they played melodions at the bottom of the bay…… Seriously though, beautifully sung!

I hope you put these new songs on Spotify! I'm dying to play Mary Ellen Carter on there too!

Now who would have thought it would be Pleasant & Delightful singing in a field on oil seed rape, but it is. Well done on the singing, filming & editing.

Get someone who looks at you the way Robbie looks at 3:14

This is my funeral song.

I’ll never miss the corridor digital shirt

That vibrato holy shit

Pleasant and Delightful, by The Longest Johns, brought to you by Corridor Digital. Not exactly sponsored or anything, just a product placement of sorts. Beautiful song, beautifully shot video

That sky.

What a Pleasant video this is! You could almost say it's Delightful!

This song makes me want to cry but it's not exactly sad or happy. It's just, a mood, I guess

I el llom del diplodocus, i el llom del diplodocus, i el llom del diplodocus i la crema de sol 🎶🎶

It took me AGES to realise why I knew the tune but not the lyrics. El Pony Pisador.

The song is amazing Still Waiting for The Corridor Crew Collab Video

Great stuff. Sucks to the troll who gave it a thumbs down!

This is an absolute staple of folk camps evening song circle - such nostalgia for someone who grew up on classic, beautiful and joinable tunes such as these. Thank you for doing it such justice!

When all that I hold dear seems under threat, and the world gets weirder and scarier, I come to this channel to listen to four chaps from Brissle and all seems much better. This song shows that 'pleasant and delightful' still exists and there is beauty in the world (even if the song is sad). Although I have to say that Robbie's jumper sleeves are causing consternation.

Oh my, but I enjoyed that! It's like being back amongst my (once) fellow Morris dancers for an evening's sing.

This feels like they're somehow green-screening themselves into a field! It's so beautifully unreal o_o

Jd is wearing a corridor digital shirt and I find that kinda funny

I wonder how long oaafter filming that raincloud hit them XD

Did not expect to see a Corridor t-shirt. :D

I love your music yall, i was quite sad in my life cuz it would be the last time i saw quite a few of my friends, but it was also just then when i started listening to yall, which gave me something to distract me that didnt remind me of my friends, yall are awsome, thank you for releasing this on the 1 year anniversary (roughly) of me starting to listen to yall, keep singing, ill keep listening.

So after all this song not about a long-necked dinosaur which runs out of sunscreen in a sunny beach... 🦕🐴🍃 Stellar work and gorgeous setting, guys! ❤

I was just searching through the old streams for this song and was wishing you'd make a proper recording.

Oh yes 😁

this is indeed pleasant and delightful 13/10 would be delighted by these fine lads again

7 people did not find this pleasant and delightful

This was both pleasant, and delightful

Love seeing JD wearing his Corridor channel shirt!

I can't believe it's been three...

Going to the Navy, i feel this song a little too much lol

Y'all gotta come to portland. This place would love you.

Lol gosh darnit robbie, idk why but your antics always make me laugh 😅 thank you lads for spreading this cheer for us, can't wait for your next album

Great song but I could feel my hayfever kicking in just watching the video

This really reminds me of 'Thousands Or More'. Especially the melodies and repetition in the chorus. It's truly a very sweet song. 'Thousands Or More' is a favorite, too. Is this something you grow up hearing as children in the UK? I'm just curious because I'm American and I'd never heard it before hearing the Johns sing it.

One of the favourite folk songs, thanks!

One of my favorite tunes!

I've loved this song since I found Louis Killen's version, and y'all have truly sung this song well

Never been happier to be one of the first to hear one of your songs, this is absolutely beautiful. Delightful if you will

Beautiful harmonies and canola field!

I like the Corrdior shirt lol Great music as always! Beautiful video. ^^

The field looks almost surreal, it's so pretty! The singing is amazing too, as always. Love it!

this song is so pleasant and delightful

please please please please oh PLEASE please do south australia!

This just injected serotonin straight up into my brain, thanks guys :)

Another song beautifully sung! Very adequate 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

fantastic tune done MOST adequately, lads! Love the way this was shot, that flower-field seems quite serene!

Yay!

Ooooooohhhhhhh, new live stream

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

That field is so surreal that y'all look green screened on during the wide shots. Love the new video

Love the music. I originally listened to your songs while playing sea of thieves. But recently my account got permanently banned. Recently I found myself listening to your music unironically. Most of your songs brings a smile to my face so keep up the good work.

Love this song it's sad but truly a delightful song to sing to your true love 💕💕
