Home Free - Sea Shanty Medley

[@daftwulli6145]

Who else here thinks that santiana is by far the best one ?? I hope they consider making a full version in it´s own video. Don´t get me wrong, the where all god, but santiana just took it to the next level

[@cindyshawver9986]

i like that one the best, too !!

[@coolcat8b]

I have no idea how Adam (with help from the others I'm sure) maintained such a crazy good beat throughout that song. And I knew Santiana before, first in French (very watered down IMHO) and then in English, and theirs is the best ever version. Gives me shivers.

[@lynfl9814]

I can't get this song out of head. I keep signing the Santiana part. I am driving my husband nuts. I sound nothing like these sweet harmonizer's. Home Free - YOU ROCKED IT! It was so much fun.

[@peterquinlan5242]

Hopefully they do a full version

[@MrDarthAnts]

Agreed. Santiana is easily the best version I've ever heard. I've looked for other versions but none can get halfway to where Home Free got it too

[@martinmaynard7669]

Not to diminish their voices since being impressed by singing is a baseline for groups like this, but the editing and logistics behind that video were absolutely stellar. They combined some of the most popular sea shanties into one Medley. Beginning a new song was seamless and introduced a different person of the cast as the main singer. At the beginning, they edited together the screens appearing according to the beats.

[@sallymaria]

Jimmy Bates - he's been working as a cameraman and editor with acapella musicians from Peter Hollens to Pentatonix to Home Free for 10 years now, and he's got such a gift for interesting and creative videos with limited resources.

[@Sqmsh_Patricia]

I would have liked to hear Tim on melody for 1 song but it was still fantastic!

[@lexigrimhaive]

Tim barely moving besides his mug and his insanely low tones just below everyone else’s voices adds so much to this. This whole thing was so amazing.

[@heatherdelgado9303]

The way the story goes is that since his phone was tied to a tree, if he moved too much the rocking of the boat took him out of frame. XD

From taking a small glance at the comments, it's great to see that I'm not the only one who shares this enthusiasm.

I’m 65 yrs old now. I was brought up with the 50’ 60’70’80’ music mainly. But in my younger years I played the violin which I wish I kept up now regret it. My hands, wrist and elbow on my left side has problems to much to play a violin nowadays. So, I grew to like string music too. Then my father and an uncle introduced Big Band music. Then to my delight my son learned to play the trumpet. He was very good even won The John Phillip Sousa Award (not sure of spelling). So I grew to love jazz too. Then one day about 9 months ago I came across Geoff Castellucci’s music. I liked his voice very much so I set it as station in Pandora. Well on that station they had The Wellerman’s music. Now I love to listen to this station while I read. It’s very entertaining and enlightening. These shanty songs really give you a lift on bad days. Thank you Gentlemen for your music.

[@unterdessen8822]

Do you have any sailors in the family? Some cultures believe, that souls can only move between bodies, that are blood-related, meaning that you can only be reborn within your own family. Therefore most people couldn't have been Cleopatra in a former life 😉 It's also the reason why children aren't punished in some cases, because people assume, that these are reborn ancestors, and you simply don't slap your granny for misbehaving. If there's a sailor among the baby's (dead) ancestors, you may even find out the name of the shanty fan and could compare some behavioural traits when the baby grows up. Oh, and some people think, that children remember details of their former lives until they turn 4 or 5 years old. At that point the new personality takes over and erases the soul's memories, that are not connected to the new body. But children between 1-4 years might say spooky things, because they still have access to the immortal (soul) part of the memory. Like that little girl, who told her mother, "Before I was born, we were together, but I was your mother back then."

Clearly, this music makes me want to jump, sing and dance! A rhythm not to stop, by heart in the car I go in rehearsal so much it gives me a good mood. I already listened to it by chance on KZbin 2 years ago and it had given me the same joy. Excellent Job

[@ryancoker8198]

Can we please get a series of shanties done in full? Cause each part of the medley was amazing and I'd love to see that.

[@girlwheels]

Then Adam "The Beat Boxer" Rupp breaks off for a castanet moment. Fantastic. 💜 I need more sea shanties.

[@InfernalBanana]

I love how Austin channeled all his past theater experience in this video. It still throws me off a little when he starts singing “Santiana”, it just doesn’t have his usual southern twang.

[@cockeyedoptimista]

So he studied theatre? (&/or participated in?) That explains some things.

[@InfernalBanana]

@@cockeyedoptimista yeah, iirc Tim, Chris, and Adam met him when he was performing Les Mis on a cruise or something. They’ve explained it before. If I can find the video, I’ll add it to this comment. Edit: video link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKWqdq2wd5elgJY

Awesome rendition of these traditional sailing songs (not just pirates!) - they were the best possible rendition of what these songs truly are - songs designed to get everyone working in synchronization, and providing energy and a sense of community when the work was hard. HF's commitment to the low masculine range (TIM just hanging in the basement where virtually no one else can actually sing) and driving beat (ADAM - the castanets and the sound of the wind is incredibly authentic - wow). My father is a Coastguardsman, and sailed on the clipper ship the Eagle. I grew up with these songs, but have never heard them better. This medley is crazy good - everything it should be, musically perfect, and totally fun. THANK YOU (oh and yes, I would love to get an album of traditional men's work songs - from Home Free - there are so many - soldiers, sailors, miners... It would be just amazing.)

Ok, I’m French and I grew up singing a song called "Santiano", which is basically summarizing my whole childhood in Brittany. I just jumped when hearing these guys sing "Santiana" as I had no idea that this french song was actually a cover from a sea shanty. And hearing the sound of my childhood sung by Home Free, it’s priceless!
