[@ladalekoehler2176]

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.

[@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

[@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.

I'm not surprised that they pulled off a sea shanty medley: There isn't a style they can't do! Guys you rock so hard! Every one of you is an awesome talent! Rock on, boys!

[@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.

I sent this to a music teacher friend of mine last week and she sent me this in return - "You have definitely saved me this week. Shared the sea shanty medley with 2nd grade and then taught them Santianna and they LOVED IT. Like slamming on the desks, stomping their feet loved it. It's rare that 2nd grade loves anything because they're like, way too cool and mature to like music class and sing and stuff. So thank you!!!" Thought that compliment was worth passing forward!

We aren't bad parents if one of the first songs he sings is a pirate medley, are we? (We Will Feast in the House of Zion was his first followed quickly by the Paw Patrol theme song for reference.)

Chance is dressed in tee shirt and beanie, and thumping the back of his guitar in tribute and in keeping with Nathan Evans' Tik Tok video which started this whole craze a year ago.

I imagine Tim's neighbors looking out and seeing him in the yard dressed like like a pirate singing. 🙋‍♂️

I saw it stated elsewhere that Tim was in his brother-in-law's back yard in Chance's boat with absolutely NO explanation to the neighbors! 🤣🤣

[@squeegeee]

Shortly after discovering that sea shanties calmed my newborn (we're pretty sure he was a sailor in a previous life lol), we asked Alexa to play sea shanties and she played this song. Since then, this has been our default lullaby for our baby, which works like a charm 9 times out of 10. Thankfully we love this medley too, but the peaceful baby is a nice perk. Thanks for the help, Home Free! Update: our now 2 year old has started singing Wellerman on his own. At least as well as a 2 year old can 😅

[@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."

Tim’s voice be deeper than the ships they sank!

[@kristenblount8422]

Tim's voice was made for singing a sea shanty. I'm surprised it took him this long 😜

[@kittikat2318]

Adam’s voice was MADE to sing these types of songs. I know he likes these songs, obviously, but I’m pretty sure you’re an actual pirate!! Obviously everyone sounds amazing too!

[@terrycassis1864]

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.)

[@jamespatrick2716]

Hello I’m really impressed with your comment, if you don’t mind friendship were are you from Xx

[@amycox703]

Does anyone else think it's hilarious that each member is willing to commit to a different level of pirate? Like Tim Adam and Austin are full on pirate and Rob is like "oh I'll wear I do rag and curl my mustache," and Adam is like "I'll just wear a t-shirt. But it's okay cuz it'll have a whale on it."

[@samanthacollier6068]

They were working with what they had during lockdown but the commitment to the bit from Austin was impressive.

[@shannon973]

That's exactly what I was thinking. I would totally be the one in a t-shirt, so not a criticism, but it's entertaining :D

[@sarahb.7175]

Am I the only one who noticed Adam changed his shirt in the middle of the medley? XD

[@NexusIncorporation]

Lol yeah 😄

[@Ivy99999]

It's the opitome of every group project lol. The two that try really hard, the one who tries fairly hard but also has money to buy cool stuff to contribute/ make it look better, the one who only tried a little, or didn't have much time/money to contribute and the one who is just there for the easy credit and scraped his part together literally 10 minutes before class with random junk from his locker or borrowed from friends lol 😂

[@flaviaeverman7145]

Some of you make better pirates than others, BUT Adam completely rocked this one. He was so into this one that you couldn't even keep him in the video frame. Just a PURE joy to hear this compilation. I perform at the Ren Faires and this song rocks anything I've heard there!!! Nice costumes everyone!

[@garyyorke1080]

It's strange how many times I get drawn to search out these guys just for an uplifting song . And as I work through what playlists I can find I am not disappointed. Tim has an amazing range and boy I never knew a bass could go as low as he has . It's great as a group they compliment each others abilities so well and just blend brilliantly.

[@heatherdelgado9303]

I feel like Adam isn't getting enough love on this one. Holy crap dude, this was fantastic. Tim is killing the bass as usual and everyone is wonderful, but this is a LOT on Adam to pull all of it together into something cohesive, IMO. Phenomenal job, especially with the castanets at the end. Absolutely unreal!!

[@ylerosefunny1924]

Who knew Country had sea shanty roots but makes sense when you hear & think it through

[@dianeericson7900]

Well, when you do think about it, the folks who settled in the "country" parts of the US got here by - are you ready for this? - SHIPS which sailed on the sea. They brought the shanties - or chants - from the old world to the new. And of course, as people do, they adapted, reworded and otherwise altered the old songs to new rhythms and ideas. Evolution is wonderful!

[@morris.d5562]

The song is nice and I love it. How’re you?

[@keller109]

The harmonies are heavenly. And the bass really brings everything together. This song is actually quite lovely

Btw, does anyone recognize the Australia song they start singing at 1:47? Cause I can’t find it when looking for it; all I’m getting is “South Australia” which is a completely different song.

[@maisiesummers42]

@@spartan1891 It seems to be a variant of the Cape Cod Shanty (aka Cape Cod Girls). The lyrics differ from version to version, but they're essentially the same. *Home Free version:* Cape Cod ships ain't got no sails, Haul away, haul away, They'd all blown off in the northeast gales And we're bound away for Australia Heave her up, me bully, bully boys, Haul away, haul away. Heave her up, now don't you make a noise. Bound away for Australia. *Cape Cod Shanty:* Cape Cod cats ain't got no tails, Haul away, haul away, They lost them all in the northeast gales, And we're bound away for Australia Heave her up, me bully, bully boys, Bound away, bound away. Heave her up, now don't you make a noise. Bound away for Australia.

[@vickyschieman2694]

Outstanding! The vocals were on point, the song choices excellent and Adam continues to up his beatboxing game with every new release. Just when I think he can't get any better, he does. I actually loved all the costumes. Chance and Rob = longshoremen, Austin and Adam = swashbucklers and Tim = full on Captain Jack Sparrow. Marvelous!
