LYRICS:
We're hearty souls on the ocean's flow
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
Forever off to new shores we go
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
We sail so long and so far from home
We brave the storms and the cold
From port to port on the waves we roam
We're venturesome and bold
We're hearty souls on the ocean's flow
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
The waves they roar and the gales they blow
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
No pillow soft and no lover's breast
The cold it rips through the nights
We long to lay on a gentle chest
And hold warm bodies tight
We're hearty souls on the ocean's flow
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
The sailor's labour is all we know
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
And the wind lifts our songs
And our arms they are strong
Over oceans and rivers we glide
Lift our sails and our hands
We will ride to new lands
Many voyages on many tides
We're hearty souls on the ocean's flow
Heave, ho
Onwards we row
Forever off to new shores we go
Heave, ho
Onwards we row

Ahoy, sailors! Enjoy my original sea shanty. I actually started writing this song in 2014! It was always one of my goals to go back and finish it and 2021's change of musical pace, along with the newfound popularity of sea shanties, gave me the perfect timing to do it! I like how it turned out :) Don't forget you can support my work on Patreon! www.patreon.com/miracleofsound GAMES IN VID: Skull and Bones Assassin's Creed - Black Flag Assassin's Creed - Valhalla Sea of Thieves Civilization VI Lost Ark Lineage 2 Oceans and Empires Greedfall TV SHOWS IN VID: Vikings Black Sails Game of Thrones

As a shanty should be

[@MrFright2010]

The world is in desperate need of more awesome shanties. That being said, this "folky" side of music seems to resonate really well with you, Gav, and that's awesome when seen in the context and breadth of your whole work!

[@Just_A_Dude]

Gav is just incredible. His rocker, "Back to the start," is just as good in its own way.

[@LOLHAXGUN]

also needs more awesome pirate games

[@dracoslayer16]

I love it! So many people just make ordinary songs with a sailor's theme and call it a "shanty" but often forget that shanties are songs that sailors would sing while working. Normally one person would lead with the actual lyrics while everyone else chimes in for the short and recurring chorus. So refreshing to see a new shanty that actually is one.

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Looking forward to this so much, mate!

Well this is awesome.

I was not expecting you to comment on this.

[@TheLehi5]

oh bro... u know what to do...

[@Keitreth]

Finally, a new song I can sing with my drunk buddies as we walk back home from pub. On a more serious note, it's a wonderful shanty, and I like it has a more "serious" and not light-hearted vibe like most of the popular shanties. I missed that feeling in a shanty/pirate music for quite some time now, thank you Gav.

[@sci7zo]

Agreed. I really vibe with how somber it is

[@parzivalodin1527]

I know yall are probably not gonna read this, but thank you for your music. So many people forget the point of games, to have fun, to fall into the stories of other people, and to go on the adventures of our dreams. Your songs are a reminder of fun and that adventure, thank you.

[@gmgurp6666]

You know, just when the world is starting to get me down, you come along and inspire me to keep going. You've been a huge help this past year. Thanks again Gavin.

God I’m so excited for this. Sea shanties? Amazing. Anything by Gav? Fantastic. Hoping this one does really well, seeing new original music is fantastic

[@blaster2187]

Me every new MOS song of a unique genre: I like this, full album? All seriousness great song, will no doubt play it on repeat!

[@void-creature]

What I hate most about this song is how hard it is to find more like it. Nothing against traditional shanties, but this type of modern shanty with a powerful instrumental to back up the vocals just scratches an itch in my soul that I NEED to satisfy.

[@Gopgopka7]

My mother might watching videos only at the morning. She said a week before: "I like all this "shanty songs" very much, but i don't understand the lyrics." Me, firstly watching the new song in the middle of the night: "Hmm...where is my ENG-RUS dictionary?"

[@qwq843]

[@Blindluck92]

The inclusion of Greedfall made this just *so* much better, at least in my opinion. Unlike pretty much everything else you see in this shanty, it doesn't immediately spring to mind as something you would *associate* with a shanty, but if you stop and think about it, then yeah, it really does work.

[@Year_of_the_Dell]

once a Naut....

[@Paradox1012]

I mean skull and bones and sea of thives fit. They are pirate games.

[@parzivalodin1527]

@@Year_of_the_Dell always a Naut

[@cornilicious4578]

A bit sad Gav hasn't done a Greedfall song, but yeah the Nauts definitely sings shanties because they're sailors. Sailors who more or less live constantly on the sea even.

[@dragonjo7550]

y'all are in for a treat, this song is boppin

[@PS-bi4fm]

As a sailor, I can say only one thing...i glad that you continue giving this miracle music...this treasure to us!)))

[@dr.k8610]

I am now here from release and can confirm, it is phenomenal. Even without the basis of a game or something else Gav can make great original music. Yet another great one for the lineup, which gives me high hopes going forward

[@TheITwister]

Oh my Oh my This is something i've been expecting to happen since that Black Flag song

[@DragonSoul66]

There really needs to be more songs in this type of theme. Shanties are some of the most unique and exquisite music out there, and I am glad that there are those who are willing to provide such a gorgeous sound. This is definitely no exception as, hands down, this is beautiful straight through.

[@Sawtooth44]

perfect, i needed theme music for when i start rowing in Sea of Thieves

[@alfredpaukner5741]

Miracle Of Sound macht weiterhin so gute Musik.Sie begleitet mich immer zur Arbeit. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Blue_Bayou_Hix]

I used to work at Disneyland, more specifically the Sailing ship Columbia, I used to use this song driving into work before every shift to pump me up to sail the ship around the Rivers of America…thank you for making this wonderful song ❤

[@Mel_the_Pirate]

I love how it tied in all the Assassins who sailed

[@mkannan4511]

"Heave Ho...Onwards We Row.." It's catchy...and has a "I won't let anything stand in my way" feel to it. I like it.

[@dezopenguin9649]

Sounds fantastic! I have to say, I definitely get the "Viking" vibe most strongly from this, with the strong drumbeat, the deliberate pacing, and of course the title drop in the lyrics since oars were a regular part of longship propulsion as opposed from the primarily sail-driven vessels from the Age of, well, Sail. This makes it an excellent companion piece to "Valhalla Calling."

[@Djones0125]

My opinion, you're better than 90% of people that get played on the radio

[@pauldickinson3961]

[@kyanamendoza1773]

Imagine being on a ship in the middle of sailing the sea and the crew starts singing this song

[@Voc_spooksauce]

Man this gives me such a good feeling. I always loved sea shanties, and the fact they became pretty popular quite recently made me pretty happy. But not as happy as listening to this, just so great ! You always nail every damm song, it's incredible. Keep being such a wonderful lad, cheers from Brazil to anyone reading this :)

[@Colonel_Overkill]

Agreed. Have listened to them for years but am elated that my collection of stale songs has exploded over the last couple years.

[@lexsamreeth8724]

Once again, so happy that I've deified Gavin in my D&D setting. I can just imagine teams of lutran and abyssians belting this out in the middle of a long voyage between Kingsfield and Hohenheim.

[@piplupcola]

You should definitely do a collab with Longest John's! They bring shanties to the next level!

[@orangeapples]

I don't know what happened, but this is a channel I haven't thought about in a long time. I just wanted to look up some sea shanties and I had no idea you can still make original sea shanties... I look forward to being here.

[@ammo1317]

The Longest Johns are producing new sea shanties too :)

[@sharmsong]

So catchy! ⚓

[@andrespadilla2723]

Me: Okay, I finally stopped having a song in my head playing all the time "Hears this" Me: God dammit

[@Spatenplayer]

Interesting to see you tackle any genre, and create an instant classic. I love your music man.

[@TalionWolfe]

Here for the Premiere and it's sounds fantastic Gavin, started signing along with it as soon as the second verse hit so I'd say well done you definitely made it a catchy shanty. Good work, always excellent. P. S read the interview article you did recently and it was a lovely read and insight. Here's to you Gavin and all the best still for your future 💜👍

[@mrq1]

Very cool Gav. Love all the sailing scenes from different shows and games. A little disappointed that there wasn't any Pirates of the Caribbean in there (which I think is really where this song resonates with me), but knowing Disney's tyrannical copywrite system, it was probably for the best.

[@sorcikator993]

Yeah, better let the mouse alone...

[@WorldArchivist]

*Mirthful chuckle* You think Disney is bad copyright-wise? I've seen much worse.

[@Sorontur3]

@@WorldArchivist Games workshop?

[@trajan74]

No scenes from Black Sails either.

[@joed2431]

I happily play this whenever I'm a sailor or pirate in my video game's RPGS. I'm also proud of this seeing as I am Irish and my favorite pirate was Grace O'malley. Who was also the queen of the pirates!

[@rushinbushin]

It's super rare I say this but a looped version of this song would make me so happy. What a thumper!

@@Terran123rd Thanks!

[@dragcrush2833]

Man, while just about every song you make is absolutely fantastic, this is another excellent example why i always start hyping when you make an original song that isn't made with a specific game/ series/ movie in mind. Great work with yet another song @miracleofsound!
