Rachel, Being a Navy veteran, you brought me to tears and made me recall so many memories. You have an amazing voice and you are beautiful! Thank you for singing this song. Charlie.

[@Diego-jf1oe]

Thank you for your service, sir.

[@esta1ful]

Lovely

[@The50Fordman]

I know how you feel, shipmate. 11 years USN and 26 Merchant

[@badenclosson8195]

Thanks for your service... also quick question btw how is the navy exactly if you dont mind me asking

[@Born_2_Die420]

Army here💪💪

[@CamillasChoice]

Few people can get away with singing without background music.. You have such a clear and wonderful voice. Lovely!

[@twinatomicentertainment2098]

I agree

[@jeremiahaglover]

CamillasChoice I completely agree that this singer is incredibly talented, and has a lovely voice, but I think the smoothness of her voice overshadowed the masculinity and grit of this song.

[@shiningarmor3597]

If your singing this with background music, you are doing it wrong... that said she does well

[@BRENNOLK2]

Não sei falar en inglês

[@lucasgreene1094]

The song is originally a shanty meant to be sung without musical accompaniment to begineith

[@HuntermanHD]

this is not a version that some dirty pirates would sing, this is a version that a mermaid would sing.

[@justaguy896]

Agustereon i agree

[@josebatxu32]

fisherwomen also sang shanties

[@Pellaeon159]

That is pretty plausible actually. Pretty good song to get the sailor to go overboard :D Leave her Johny, its time, come to us Johny, leave the rotten tub Johny, no grog allowed... come to us :D

[@h.leonhardast5535]

I couldn't have put that out better.

[@Oohjee]

I agree it would be perfect for A mermaid to sing

[@peterversionone]

What a beautiful voice. I wish my brother who was a navy veteran heard this song before he passed

[@Black_Swordsman76]

They don't sing songs in the navy

[@__mindflayer__]

Toxic Shadow uh... yes they do. www.google.com/search?q=does+the+navy+sing+sea+shanties&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS829US829&oq=do+the+navy+sing+sea+sha&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0.7426j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8 Plus it’s more of a thing that they can decide to do while doing labor work of course it won’t be recorded cause they wouldn’t have phones while at sea.

[@paullgiarmoleo3027]

I'm sorry for your lost

[@peterversionone]

@@paullgiarmoleo3027 thank you

[@peterversionone]

@@__mindflayer__ thank you for letting him know that, and thank you personally from me

[@jonfraley975]

Splendid! I loved the female vocal, t'was as if it was Johnny's beloved vessel's point of view.

[@MKev_Gaming]

Imagine thousands of sailors back in the early days. Weeks, Months and even years away from home and their loved ones. Dieing and almost starving in war against nature and the ocean. Just for bringing home some money. Being beaten and pulled into wars for glory and wealth of others. On a sunny day, with storms and drowning comrades behind, the sailors sung this song with the island or even home at the horizon. With rising happyness in their hearts but also sadness to leave their ship behind. You Honored all of them, thank you so much for such a very nice version of this sea shanty. :) best regards, MKev.

[@lacklusterentertainment7411]

Couldn't have said it any better. Terrific comment

[@oldfart3216]

sometimes i just set and think about that.. undescribable

[@tommaekelberghe540]

True. To bad your spelling sucks...

[@nueve08]

MKev I agree on your comment mate. When I played AC 4, I realized how sad and hollow a pirate's life used to be. It was enough to see how Edward Kenway's story ended in the game to understand that. All his friends and family were gone one by one until he ended up being alone. He saw two of his best friends die (Blackbeard and Mary) and he had to kill another one.

[@abeersharma5347]

I regret not being able to do anything more than liking this comment and this song

[@gantu99]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I suffer from intense PTSD panic attacks and listening to this beautiful cover is one of the only coping mechanisms that helps me calm down when I've escalated into a flashback or panic attack. You probably won't read this but I just wanted to let you and the world know that I appreciate this immensely.

[@RachelKayMusic]

We read it! And we're here for you through your struggles. Lots of love and blessings to you, for tomorrow and for many tomorrows to come.

[@ravenballs3758]

She truely Has a Beautiful Voice, The first time I heard this version I almost cried

[@fire_fux]

holy mother... your voice is absolutely stunning. It gave me chills.

[@stephensullivan1011]

Don't know why she's smiling tho.. Not really a happy song 😂

[@MochaBiscuitCafe]

Why can I hear this being an anthem for wives who's husband's were pirates or navy sailors. Like the "her" part of the song is referring to the ship rather than a woman.

[@StarLight_Terra]

she is the only selected few to be able to sing sea shanties with out background music

[@benmorris7276]

greense2 sea shanties wnever had background music they were sung by sailors as work song while on the seas primarily sung by men who had drunk quite abit of rum and gin i doubt most of them had good clear singing voice like hers. Don't get me wrong her version is good her voice is beautiful like the song of a siren

[@maksymsereda2622]

Best shanty from AC: Black Flag

😱WHAT A INCREDIBLE BEAUTY😱 😱WHAT A INCREDIBLE VOICE😱 😱WHAT A SONG😱

[@BrownbearWV304]

Wow her voice just blew my mind! Magnificent!

[@MrThedude001]

Absolutely Amazing! Excellent performance Miss Rachel Ray!

[@voiceofageneration7851]

So touchy, heartfelt and beautiful!

[@stevensdbuild9524]

Bravo! The lady has made a lovely version and has, in my opinion, conveyed the melancholy tone just right. I disagree that this song is only for degenerates. People on the whole, then and now, are pretty decent and most sailors would be trying to earn a crust for their families. Hollywood has twisted most people's perception of real history so much.

[@johnf2918]

I confess I only looked this up because of the video game tie-in... magnificent voice, such a strong feminine tone, and such a beautiful face as well. Honestly surprised she's not more famous. I love it!

[@setricserpent]

I let out a man's tear right after the violin. You have an angelic voice.

This cover of the song makes me burst into tears every time. Its just so beautiful.

[@anthonycarmany8830]

This is a gorgeous woman with an amazing voice that makes a rough and barley song seem as an angelic voice of reasoning. Rachel Kay has a true inner beauty and let's it show through the expressive way she sings.

I'm listening to this while reading and noting the Theogony, and I just needed to stop for a sec and say wow. I love this song, and your voice and composition of the Subtle undertones you went for really sell it above and beyond what I was expecting. Your cover is brilliant, your voice is brilliant and the violin is absolutely stunning, and I'll be listening to this on repeat. Bravo
