Spanish Ladies David Coffin

Ever click on a video by accident then come out the other side four hours later thinking wow just wow,

[@klogg2438]

I am surprised this isn't more popular, beautiful song, can't stop listening!

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you

[@alanbstard4]

@@DavidCoffinMusic thank you you're excellent

[@DKDRFTA]

Then rant and roar to be higher up on a list. Pun is the list

[@moonbeamchaos]

It’s always been my favorite, and astonishing with a lot of people singing - especially with harmony on the chorus!

[@nathanharrison3021]

"We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy." what a great line and great performer, you did it again Coffin, the best!

[@augustus_lex6126]

He didn't write the song

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Correct. But I did sing it.

[@dimosthenis76]

Feels like the wind of the sea sprays water on my face... I feel like an old sailor, on a barque, sailing to the unknown, hunting what my heart is longing for... Thank you David.

[@willyustad6670]

This is the real thing. No modernizations, no band, just the way it certainly has been sung så many, many times at sea and in harbour. (And in the alehouses, I´m sure...)

[@joostwinter]

It's also the essence of music... no 'cozying up', no vocoder, no bullshit, no hi tech. I love how music can be so simple and so expressive at once...

[@FriedrichBarb]

Thank you for all your great work David, you are truly underrated here on KZbin, deserve much more views, your voice is grand

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you

[@hgumen]

Mr Coffin, in one of your comments somebody complained that he could not get the song out of their heads, which you replied "Imagine how I feel after a lifetime of sea shanties" Do you have a remedy you can share? So far the only cure I have for a song stuck in my head is to go and learn a different shanty. With my deepest love and respect.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

The 12 Days of Christmas works every time.

[@AntiqueMenswear]

@Hasan Gumen @@DavidCoffinMusic I raised myself of David Coffin's shanties, and I'll raise my children on David Coffin's shanties. If a shanty isn't spinning in my head then it's 20 lashes until my heart sings again! XD

[@hgumen]

@@AntiqueMenswear That touches my heart, sir.

[@mmkvoe6342]

That's hilarious. I definitely fund myself humming that one all year round, and I have never liked the song.

[@MM-oy2ku]

What a fantastic rendition with such a lovely powerful voice. (Grrr!) You would certainly hear this above the waves and creaking.

[@Jero1986]

You Sir! Voice of the gods!

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Too kind.

[@mcstabba]

He is indeed blessed with an amazing and powerful voice.

[@Zunderfeuer]

Agreed, though I think it just would have to be a god of the sea and of the Mead/Rum etc. It's this kind of performance that makes me almost attempt to overcome my social anxiety and hum with it ( I don't dare to sing along though)

[@Zunderfeuer]

@@DavidCoffinMusic Agreed though, great performance. I love it when a musician is able to convey atmosphere with everything else. One question though, what is the model you are playing here? Cheers from Germany

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

@@Zunderfeuer This is an English Wheatstone Baritone Concertina.

[@meattroller8853]

David is in the the Amazon original movie Blow the Man Down great little mystery.

OH MY GOD. this is my favorite shanty and it's hard to find on youtube. or overall. beautiful.

Great performance, well done Sir! I keep coming back to watch. Amazing voice. That concertina accordion is badass!

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you kindly!

[@billgrant5515]

Brings to memory the film Master and Commander:The Far side of the World. The Sailors sang this Chantey with the help of a Midshipman. Thank You Mr. Coffin, outstanding voice! It reminds me of Stan Rogers. Would love to perform with you sometime!!!

[@jagc1969]

Great voice indeed, and an amazing rendition of a beautiful song.

[@daveymjohnson]

Amazing! Wish I could get all the lads at work to sea shanty while we graft haha.

[@Don_Juan89]

what an incredible performance!

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you

[@bushfingers]

[@massmanute]

Excellent! Though David has his own style, the style does of remind me a bit of that of Luke Kelly. This is a high complement in my book.

[@mariaashot5648]

Sublime! Such a thrill to listen to David Coffin... And it turns out my youngest son has been listening to David Coffin for years! How cool is that?

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Best comment ever! Learn from our children.

[@qwertyTRiG]

I know this from the _Swallows & Amazons_ books I read as a kid (better drowned than duffers). It's good to hear it actually sung.

[@aidarparsy]

I wish I could sing like that

[@ЕвгенийШ-й5о]

У Вас классный голос.

[@sandrabonner8208]

MUCH more authentic than Quint's version in "Jaws," but not as threatening/theatrical. Well done!

[@louiscypher4186]

I'm pretty sure the whole point of Quints version is that it's supposed to reflect his bitter, twisted and fatalistic attitude.

[@jondoe8889]

David opens the movie Blow the Man Down, with a shanty. It sets up the mood of the movie! And it is a good movie, too, on Prime.

[@favGModplz]

I think this is my favorite version

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

I think you're my favorite fan.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you

[@BrianOfHolcombeShantyman]

Proper job David.

[@agentmahou6222]

Regarding the first verse, I've heard multiple singers say "and we hope very soon for to see you again" but I had learned it as "and we may never see you fair ladies again." Is there a historical precedent for one over the other? I kind of prefer the latter because of the melancholy tone, but both are excellent! I've been a fan of yours since I listened to your rendition of "Roll the Old Chariot" years ago and I'm happy to see you putting out more songs. If we need anything in these times, it's communal works like shanties that bring us all together!

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

It's the oral tradition hard at work.

[@AMcGrath82]

Your talent endures in a way that we should all admire.

[@jasonaris5316]

Done this old song proud

[@asmith8954]

It's really too bad you had to be alone in that auditorium, but I like the acoustics. A little bit of echo does something good for a baritone and for a song from a time long passed :)

[@ericgilbert1087]

How are these British Sailors gonna say goodbye to Spanish ladies in English and French? I guess "Farewell and Adios to you Spanish ladies..." didn't roll off the tongue as well.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

The English are not known for their foreign language skills but they take particular pride in butchering French. 🤣🤣

[@Fulou]

Ah, I see you're not yet introduced of the great tradesman and entrepreneur, speaker of many languages, tactical genius and love maker, Derek Trotter.

[@synchc]

@@DavidCoffinMusic Both sides of the Channel take a little too much pride in butchering the other, linguistically or otherwise. I will say though; the Greeks and the Latins see their children as wayward. The Germanic, Franco and Iberians see their children as wayward. The Anglo-Saxons and Insular Celts see their children as wayward. There is an admonishing love to it all but it's most keenly felt and, to be honest, understood in NW Europe. Fractious neighbours, terrible in-laws and horrific wars but there has been a brotherhood and understanding here for as long as there has been Christendom and it's a beautiful thing to experience when it pops it's head above the parapet.

Vicente Muñoz Walther It’s pretty straight forward. I’m singing in the key of g minor. The chord you’re probably looking for is the Eb at the beginning of the chorus 3rd line: Until we strike soundings...

@@DavidCoffinMusic Thank you so much!

[@DBAllen]

Retitle this to Phillipino Ladies with retuning of lyrics to reflect the USN Pacific fleet would be a classic of my generation.

"Jaws" ? :)

It’s a variant on the American version where the last line is “Straight up the channel to New Bedford we’ll go.”

@@DavidCoffinMusic Thank you.

[@christopherbrown8205]

This one of the few David Coffin versions I do not like; much to fast and brash. What a curt way to say farewell to a Spanish beauty you may never see again! I was taught to sing this much slower, with the rhythm matching that of large rolling swells.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thanks for listening. "We'll rant and we'll roar" and the rest of the lyrics in the verses suggest the song is more about the excitement of going home than the Spanish ladies we're leaving. Different interpretations keep the world interesting, eh?
