Here's a Health to the Company - Community Project | The Longest Johns

[@thelongestjohns]

Look out for our next, very special, community project taking submissions soon!! Remember to subscribe and join our mailing list for the most up to date info.

[@CapriUni]

Tuned in just in time to catch the final chord of the Premiere. Which was lovely. Next on my agenda: watch the whole thing! (Edited to ask: How many took part in this one?)

[@nbenefiel]

Always the last song at Renn Faires.

[@jackleith3502]

Dayum I gotta keep my eyes posted to the socials so I don’t miss the next one! Top work by everyone though xD And even though it’s too early for the next suggestion, I’m shipping Barratt’s Privateers 8D

[@smithexem]

Awesome as always guys. PLEASE let it be Hard Times Come Again No More as the next Community Project.

[@ThePixelPal]

I must hear binks sake/brew with the somber ending of a quartet... a trio... a duet... a solo.

[@slavic_cousin9988]

It's ok, Mr. Sound Engineer, you may rest now. Great job you've done, pirate

[@shadoweagle1626]

There is a bottle here somewhere for him as well but there are so many empty ones the staff can't find it

[@nikolaostsimpetonidis4243]

Also to the video editor, who edit the whole clip :)

[@angelicaschuyler1011]

Shout out to the guy under the person with a duck who kept changing hats.

[@Covargo]

Seeing your comment I had to watch again to see and I saw him too lol. The editor of this video made sure that we never saw him do the hat change which I find just as funny.

[@Covargo]

I still love the fact that there are people using sign language in the videos. It's nice to see, great work.

[@f1zz-k1d89]

hey, i’m one of those people! i can’t sing because i have a lung condition, but tlj is very important to me, so i wanted to participate :) thanks for noticing us!

[@lauradryer1962]

We buried my dad at sea on Sunday, shot him out of a revolutionary war cannon, off the schooner Jolly Rover ll in key west Florida. Michelle, the cannoneer, sang the shanty acapella...it was the most beautiful, haunting melody I ever heard. I had never heard it before so googled it and found this video...the tears won't stop...thank you for this video and all souls in it

[@MiniCerberus991]

First: sorry for your loss. Second: that is the most badass burial I've ever read.

[@Jaig_Eyes77]

Shout out to whoever decided to show their 3-D printer instead of their face LOL

[@actuallyapathy]

1:42 that little kid makes me smile every time he's on screen : ) he's just so excited to be a part of things!!!

[@actuallyapathy]

2:43 3:46 4:53 as well!

[@talscorner3696]

And what things he is part of!

[@danhurl1349]

I’m in love with how queer this fanbase is. I love us.

[@ruien6912]

Honestly really beautiful, I'd love to see one done for Bones in the Ocean. Otherwise amazing how so many voices can harmonize into something beautiful like this.

[@EvilPaladin11]

The guy who was 3D printing certainly had a unique method of holding the "Oooooo". The person painting their Warhammer 40k minis is good at multitasking. Edit: "There is a beauty in serving the God Emperor." -A Space Marine. Probably. Edit edit: Closer inspection reveals that they're not Warhammer minis. Probably D&D related. I wonder if they play a pirate.

[@Nomadith]

I absolutely adore seeing those of us who put forward sign language, it's very touching to see it

[@That1CrappyGuy]

Easily one of my favorite songs, so I’m truly grateful to be part of this project and this community. It’s always been a beautiful song, but that added choir gave me chills. Thank you for this

[@awaqua]

are you the person in the white hoodie and glasses 😭 ? cause if so i love ur hair

[@That1CrappyGuy]

@@awaquathat isn’t me, sorry

[@gregrobinsmith2246]

This… THIS!!! is of the highest use of the odd reality called “The Internet“. Blessings to you all!

[@Masada1911]

Anybody else going to be looking for themselves in this?

[@Alliien34]

yup same !

[@gosiasulej7268]

I already see myself! And usually I can't even after a few watches😅

[@theredone7980]

Yep 😂

[@dariuszjedrzejczyk3313]

Obviously I'll watch! Fortunately I had found myself on this screenshot! 🤩

[@dshine1273]

Yep! Cannot wait to start the search!

[@alvpyrola]

Wow, I think this is the best one yet of the community videos! Got proper church choir vibes, it was so beautiful. Shivers and tears may have happened. Well done, all of us! And well done with the editing! The "oooooo" at the start felt pretty weird to do, but it was soooo worth it! It was so powerful! Time to rewatch, and try to avoid getting my vision blurred by tears.

[@ProfesoraNut]

You are in this, that's so cool!! 🌷 So happy for you 😊😊

[@ProfesoraNut]

It is such a beautiful and soulful, touching song. Been a favourite for some time ♥️

[@Vi0letRay]

I actually started tearing up at this, it was exactly what I needed just now as I've just visited my local food bank for the first time. I never imagined I'd find myself in such a position so this friendly reminder is so lovely.

[@noogidoo2217]

some of the reactions to "heres a health to my dear lass" were very cute, great job everyone

[@ClydeC]

Listening to this song, reminds me of friends of a bygone era.. Close then but distant now.. I will always remember their kindness, friendships and laughter..

[@jessinthegarden]

Adequate job everyone! To those saying they are too scared to try, I very gently encourage you to find a way to do it that feels comfortable for you, but also …just go for it. We filmed our video as a group, and none of us managed to complete our audio in time, but it helped us be more eager to try harder next time. Anyhow, this fandom is so kind and supportive, I encourage you to dive in and try it.

[@imperialofficer6185]

Did you really just write a genuinely non sarcastic comment that literally says "adequate job everyone" ._.

[@vaisravana2092]

@@imperialofficer6185 That caught me off guard too. Is it some reference I did not catch maybe ? Comment in general feels kind, so this is weird

[@calum41]

@@vaisravana2092 Don't worry, it's a reference that the Johns started a while back on one of the streams (I have no idea which one, sorry!)

[@seven-cats-3]

^ yes, "adequate" meaning "great" is an in-joke that started when they said on a stream that they strive for adequacy ^^ it's even an emote haha

[@ProfesoraNut]

I'm a little "late" to the party realising they do these community projects and how it all works but I'm going to try my darndest next time one is announced! lol. I know it might be a while since (JOY!) the tour is about to start but I will be patient and wait. Thank you so much, Jess, for your kind and encouraging words, the world needs more like you. 🌺

[@anthonyfoster5079]

including dave was the best thing to do because you announced this before his departure

[@CascadeJim]

Great to be part of something so much larger than any of us. You folks are on to something that is very powerful and very good - as well as being a lot of fun. The old music really is in good hands.

[@rossforsyth6572]

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee There's no man in this wide world as happy as me Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock I wish her safe landing, without any shock If ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again Here's a health to the company and one to my lass Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

I got a big square! With Olivier the Octopus

[@phasein5413]

Lovely!

[@ThroneOfBhaal]

I love these, they're so unique. So many beautiful people from all over the world just sharing a song. ❤️

[@LocalGingerIdiot]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I absolutely love these community projects. Sadly I'm far to nervous to ever join one. I hope to see more in the future :D

[@gracehulbert7867]

You should join! I was super nervous about joining, too, but am so happy I did. Being part of it was really cool! ♥️🦆⚓️

[@JennAnnis]

I've been super nervous every time I've done one - I think most people are. Try to participate in the next one and just hit send and then delete the video from your device if needed. ;)

[@thewiseturtle]

I'm not nervous, I just can't sing, and don't want to have my face on camera. But I'd love to have my videos of other things be included some day!

[@JennAnnis]

@@thewiseturtle hopefully they'll do another one like the Worker's song that had a non-singing video element to it!

[@LocalGingerIdiot]

@@gracehulbert7867 As much as I would love too, I hate my face being online. But I'll consider it.

[@groggu]

Farewell Dave! We all will miss you. As the song says “and we may and may well not meet here again”…

[@sambony94]

Damn I missed the announcement of this project. Looking forward to it all the same

[@argentuum4958]

I should've smiled more! Well I need to partake in another project to fix that ;)

[@MrCraiggy]

Chills. Actual chills. Adore this song, and the ensemble of community voices just absolutely escalated it.

[@matthewdanna8800]

awesome

[@naseefzarif1576]

It brings back memories of when I used to play Assassin's Creed 4, listening to the great sea shanties.

[@lonewolfgaming657]

this makes me cry all these people just

[@th3.raabi1989]

Got chills when it panned out at the end. Super cool to see so many people in one project. Also awesome(and bittersweet) to see Dave with the Johns again!

[@ReeseMacalma]

These chills are more than adequate.

[@nikolaostsimpetonidis4243]

Amazing!! On behalf of the Choir and Orchestra club of Keir Hardie Primary School (London), thank you very much for this great opportunity. It was a pleasure to participate in your song and video, and pupils enjoyed very much! Looking forward to the next one! :)

[@calebmurphy9406]

These community projects are so powerful not just because they highlight the communal nature of sea shanties and folk music as a genre, but also the diversity of said community. I love watching these videos and seeing people who I would never guess were into sea shanties and folk music singing along. Given that I'm the only person I know in real life who listens to this stuff, it's comforting to see these videos and remember that I'm not alone :)

[@xXSlyAceXx]

Months ago when the project was announced, I thought I'll cry when I'll watch this video and yeah, I was right. This song is amazing, this project is amazing, everyone involved is amazing.

[@kylebaryonyx9478]

Didn't see myself, but I could sure hear myself! Having a low range has its benefits, I can always pick my voice out of a choir. Great job, everyone! It sounds amazing!

[@johncayley7838]

I swear I can hear myself too, but thought I must be mistaken. I also have a low register.

[@FaithWandering]

I'd like to give some specific praise to the wonderful folk I see signing in these. You're brilliant

[@Robin_Goodfellow]

Always a pleasure to shant with you all. Here's to all community project videos, past and future!

[@Divergent31415]

damn never heard "shant" used as a verb before 😂

[@TheLehi5]

i wish once i can sing this beautifull song with and for my friends.

[@captain-Dan]

All stations, All stations. This is sailing vessel Red Aurora! I'd love to take part, I've signed up for the next one.

[@kelticladi]

Why do I have tears? So many memories wrapped into this song...

[@GrumpyCossack]

I’m so disappointed that I missed this one !!!! I didn’t even know it happened. Nuts!!! I’ve been in the last 3 and I love them.

[@DugsBunnyy]

Please please please release an album with all the community projects!! I would love to be listening to these in the car on a long drive!!

[@straighttaric5996]

Thanks so much! very thrilled to have been a part of this. Adequate job, everyone!

[@drih_hawkeye]

Being a part of it was nothing short of magical. Amazing job, people, thank you for this experience

[@TheDelfinlady]

How wonderful to see everyone together!

[@danielbingham2644]

Anyone else really enjoy trying to spot the repeat participants? It's harder than you might think! It's kind of a like a fun matching game. I think there are only two or three people I've been able to spot in all of the community projects. (You know, aside from the band) But I've got really mediocre facial recognition, so I'm sure others could do better.

[@areknames0000]

There's something of many people voices singing along together that's hardly explainable, great work guys!

[@sampey117]

Very beautiful!! I had the honor of participating! Thanks a lot guys! I love this song, now even more... ❤❤❤

[@LioTangg]

Don't know how I manage to always miss those. Well great work everyone anyways

[@MrRicehard]

Big respect and much love to everybody. We sound awesome. :)

Jesus H. Christ, was my favorite shanty of all time, got goosebumps instantly

[@Aeroczema]

Lucy squad represent! I loved taking part in this one and the end result is so good!! I really appreciated the wider range of parts you made available to cater to lots of vocal ranges - I felt like I could sing fully on this one, and I love how it all sounds together. You all are such a cool group of people, thanks for organizing these!

[@ADreamingPoet]

I thought "ah, a Classic from early Covid-Times..." (with being about Health and utilizing Community via Videos taken at Home) only to then see this was released merely four Hours ago...well Wonderful Rendition anyway, perfect Song for such a Concept!

[@LenaTheNinja27]

I love this so, so much! It's a very special, beautiful song, and with so many voices together it's just indescribable. Wonderful job, everyone involved ❤

[@z-beeblebrox]

Amazing job to everyone! Here's a health to the company and all the striking workers this year. May they have more than one glass to go around when it's all through!

Dear people, You are all singers in my pirate campaign! Thank you for inspiring stories in my little Faerun/Greyhawk inspired world!

Normally I wouldn't comment, but I've been returning to this video over and over since it came out - it's so amazing! prob. my fav. you've done so far! can't wait to hopefully participate in one of these soon!!

[@CapriUni]

One reason I love this song: It ends with ends with "I will always remember" rather than "I shall never forget." It's subtle, but it's an important emphasis on the positive, and the continued connections into the future.

[@dmolina_damo]

AMAZING thanks.

[@ChristianHuard]

Damn ninjas cutting onions, they strike again, but someday, we might defeat them! Seriously, that's an amazing take on an already amazing song, everyone who took part in the video should be proud.

[@brockcordeiro]

Love the song & video! It's one of my favorite songs, and one I sing with my fellow Villagers at a Ren Faire. I'm particularly thrilled with the inclusion of the lyrics in sign language!

This is one of the best community projects yet! I love how all of the voices came together. I’d really love Santiano to be a community project, or the Bonny ship the diamond…. Have you ever heard of the song same old man? It’s another neat song in a minor key.

Amazing work, and I'm sorry I missed this one--it was probably in my top three of songs I'd ever want to do for a project like this.

[@sabre013]

Thanks to all for the hard work in making this. This one holds a special place in my heart as I recorded my piece for it after getting home from my Aunt's funeral. I don't know what I would have said or done to change things, but I felt I needed to do this, as some level of honoring her. Regardless, I am glad I got to participate. Keep up the good work all!
