Santiana | Live at the O2 Bristol

[@JennAnnis]

The drums really added to the song but the harmonies in this one are just *chef's kiss* perfect.

[@thelongestjohns]

Thanks so much!

[@anarmadillowithagun]

right? the new arrangement of this tune is bananas

[@daithiodonnell2825]

​@@anarmadillowithagun It's like they combined the best parts of their original arrangement and that French collab version they did and it's a beautiful result.

[@jamesparadis7079]

We NEED an updated studio recording of this arrangement of the song!!

[@chuckfarley567]

Community project ?

[@ckyisyourfuture]

agreed! i love it so much! the drums add such another level

[@rEdQUINOX]

The Yogscast Jingle Jam version is probably the closest we've got for the time being

[@Armentitron]

The Santiano French version they did kinda hits it

[@IanDunbar1]

The only downside of a re-record is that it would be missing Anna.

[@hermitized4391]

Love that long “away” from Andy after the third or fourth verse and that final verse shift, great work!

[@alvpyrola]

Thank you Johns for the awesomeness of the week 💜 And an extra shoutout to Rich and Antonio for the delicious drumming! It really helped making it even cooler. Well done, October tenth!

[@thelongestjohns]

Many many thanks :)

[@Cry_Havoc]

Most adequate! You know, if you released a video collection of the O2 concert, I'd happily pay for it!

[@stampycatfan01lol]

If it weren’t for that “Wellerman” trend a while back, I probably never would’ve discovered The Longest Johns. Needless to say, every single one of the songs y’all have sang are incredible, whether it be a cover of a traditional shanty or an original one you’ve made. Keep up the great work!

[@alvpyrola]

Is it weird that my favourite bit of this is the long "Awaaayyyyyy"? It's just.. beautiful. Makes my heart feel all squishy. I love it all though, this is just like the perfect detail on an already great piece.

[@spacemaria_]

This was seriously the best opener to that show you could have chosen, so hype!

[@PapaLobo94]

You guys started something for me. I’m a music teacher here in the USA and I started using this song for an elementary school performance in a few weeks. The kids are so excited to do this song

[@RedSntDK]

That's so cool to hear. Would've loved to sing something like this in school.

[@tuncovski1181]

Dude these shantys are do catchy, I humm them in Sailing Races

[@they_callme_goat]

Amazing performance of an extraordinary shanty

[@thelongestjohns]

Thank you!!

[@justaguyhere3992]

this song is now stuck in my head and is fun to listen to...

[@StartledOctopus]

Please release these versions on the digitals, sung live on stage just adds a whole extra dimension that I wanna belt out with in my car

[@petiteconan]

I really liked what the drums added. A real pleasure for my ears. Many thanks to all of you ! Greetings from France ⚓💙

[@legendaryoutlaw3534]

Still my favorite song from you. And you have much more. I have always a playlist open when I play Sea of Thieves with my mates. We had good times on the sea with your songs thx guys much love from Germany!

[@driftertravelerman6893]

Why is this the best sounding live performance ive ever heard lmao... you all are incredible

[@BuccaneerBoots]

Yay, I can't wait. I got to see you in Roseville, Robbie-Bot and all. That was a great night.

[@MarieahM]

Brilliant, high energy performance by Robbie pushing this up another level

[@AlexandreJWKlaus]

This sounds awesome, love the drumming behind the vocals!

[@MyrKeys]

LOVE the little "hey!"s!! they really add some drive to this performance, well done Andy!

[@mortamarkahn]

I keep coming back to this, its one of my favorite songs from you guys, and you absolutely NAILED it live, hope to see a full-length from this concert!

[@skasperl]

This deserves a proper release! Great camera and sound!

[@screeny30]

this energy is incredible well done guys - awesome hope to see you one day live in Germany

[@isaac_aren]

You can feel the harmonies in your soul at these concerts. Brilliant

[@actuallyapathy]

listening at .75 speed because my brain is overly picky about how fast songs get sung live 😂 sounds just as amazing, and i get to listen for longer!

[@mh.blue_swish25]

I just relistned to it again on 1.25 speed and it also sounds even better a little bit faster.

[@RedSntDK]

I personally enjoy this sped up version with the drumbeat a lot more than their 2018 album version, but to each their own. Amazing what an added instrument does.

[@littledragongirl10]

Love from Alaska! Love your music, it makes me so happy to hear ya'll sing

[@siralgernonthegit6285]

love the energy of live version

[@xris9717]

Ah yes, this soothes my depression quite well. My favourite shanties singers so far.

[@CapriUni]

Wow.

[@thelongestjohns]

❤️

[@Living_Life_RN]

Most very adequate as always. Santiano (the French version) was one of the first new releases I heard when I started listening to your music. I do think Robbie needs some head gear to go with hose overalls though! Maybe getting some TLJ flat-caps might be a fun idea?

[@thelongestjohns]

Not a bad idea! We’ve only got beanies so far

[@KingJ.O.the1st2003]

My favorite part of the song was “fast clipper ship and bully good crew.”.

[@KingJ.O.the1st2003]

The song was so good. I love it.

The fact that Dave blew his leg away just reminded me of the Santiana in a small boat video you guys did

[@SamEastopS.T.Gillard]

This is so brilliant! I love the harmonies. I'm learning to sing and wish I had the ear to work them out. 😅

*LYRICS - Santiana - The Longest Johns (Original Writer Unknown)* Ho, Santiana gained the day!
Away, Santiana!
Napoleon of the West, they say, along the plains of Mexico! 
Well! Heave her up and away we'll go.
Away, Santiana!
Heave her up and away we'll go,
along the plains of Mexico!

She's a fast clipper ship and a bully good crew, Away, Santiana!
And an old salty Yank for a captain too. Along the plains of Mexico!

Well! Heave her up and away we'll go.
Heave away, Santiana!
Heave her up and away we'll go,
along the plains of Mexico!

Well! Santiana fought for gold. Away, Santiana!
Around Cape Horn through the ice and snow, along the plains of Mexico!

Well! Heave her up and away we'll go.
Heave away, Santiana!
Heave her up and away we'll go,
along the plains of Mexico!

'Twas on the field of Molley del Rey. Away, Santiana!
Well, both his legs got blown away! Along the plains of Mexico!

Well! Heave her up and away we'll go.
Heave away, Santiana!
Heave her up and away we'll go,
along the plains of Mexico!

It was a fierce and bitter strife. Away, Santiana!
The General Taylor took his life, along the plains of Mexico!

Well! Heave her up and away we'll go.
Away, Santiana!
Heave her up and away we'll go,
along the plains of Mexico!

Santiana, now we mourn… Away, Santiana…
We left him buried off Cape Horn, along the plains of Mexico…

The Sea Shanty Medley done by Home Free got me looking for a good version of this song, and, well, here it is. I'da liked a more lively drum part, perhaps with a well played bodhran, but that's me only complaint. Well done, lads!

[@neochemist8703]

Is this a made up song or was this historical sung on ships or something

[@-rockmusiclover-]

It is an actual sea shanty

[@DPinto30]

So...I went to see them in Montreal this past weekend. I wonder why they didn't sound like this. We had to leave the concert early because the sound was blasting, could barely hear the music or the singing. It was so disappointing. Not at all what we expected by having watched all their videos here. Sad.
