[@Omnicide101]

1:27 Yup, that's the key structure of shanties, actually! They were ultimately work music to co-ordinate stuff like heaving and hauling, so you had one dude (the 'shantyman') doing the verses and setting the beat, and everyone else would join in in the chorus. That way, you could all push or pull in tune with the music, making the work much easier. Often you'll see a specific format called 'call and response', where the shantyman sings a line, and the crew responds. Santiana or Bully in the Alley are great examples of shanties with call-and-response formats.

[@paris4767]

perhaps like a work? something like that, you sing it while grinding at work with your mates

[@CareenasAdventures]

Yes! I noticed that on Santiana, and I could totally picture someone singing it and I come in with the "Awwaaaaayyyy SANTIANAAAA" I'd probably scare the life out of them but it'd be a jolly lot of fun 😂

This was way worth the money! Damn! XD I love the Wellerman Sea Shanty. It is part of my Childhood. One of my Grand-Uncles (mother's side) lives on the Coast of Wales. He knows a lot of Sea Shanties. When one of my friends send me the original TikTok, I recognized the song instantly, because my Grand-uncle taught us this song during one of our Vacation Trips to England in the Summer of 1997. We were out fishing on his lil' boat and played pirates, so he taught us the Wellerman. Damn, it has been so long :,3

10:49 You should close your eyes while listening from this point on to really capture how great this sounds without being distracted by the visuals. By detaching yourself from the faces of the people presented and by using your imagination with closed eyes, you might possibly visualize a crew on deck of a sailor's ship, singing this Sea Shanty while heading out about at sea whaling and catching fish. Or singing of their success at a Seaport Tavern drinking Rum, gambling with coins, arm wrestling, and sailors hollering at the maidens.

[@finned958]

This should be its own music video in extended loop.

[@MrSauce-tw6lm]

Awesome version of this song. The instrumental section was over the top good. I am a little bias being a French horn player, but that horn was really good. The solo at the end was a nice touch to finish it off. The bass singer sounded great, and the soprano was fine too. My biggest problem was that the two meh singers made up some of the main part. It made that opening really kind of awkward. Other than that, it was beautiful.
