Sarah Blasko - Spanish Ladies

"Spanish Ladies" is a traditional British naval song, describing a voyage from Spain to the Downs from the viewpoint of ratings of the Royal Navy.

[@Dyingtide02]

my father sang me this to me as a baby. he sang me a lot of old British naval songs

[@DRSHANKER]

which others?

[@sarakjeldsen769]

Beautiful. Makes me feel nostalgic for an era I haven't lived in.

Scurvy, the lash and PTBS from battle, amuptating limbs without anaestetics, die young or get stranded on shore as soon as you are too old and worn out to do the hard work in these deplorable conditions. Erm, yeah....

[@Raglan1565]

Why do think they also keep apples and wine, Oranges aren't the only source of vitamin C

[@Raglan1565]

As for the amputations thaat sucks, but it happened. The old were ferried away back to England, I can't say the say the same about pirate or privateer ships.

[@alabasterfantasia1762]

Fabulous song. Open two browsers, and play the same song overlapping. You will have to flash pause/play one of them to make them overlap - takes some work. And you will never get them to be perfectly over each other, and that is the point. But Sarah's reverb against her own voice is beyond epic. I discovered this by accident upon opening another browser by accident.

[@Parichaychatterjee1]

U are a genius

[@mattdad8429]

That's awesome. I tried that, and loved the suggestion. I hesitated a couple seconds once too to make it do like a echo and it was neat too. She'd finish a line, while simultaneously starting a line, so they'd go back and forth between eachother. Very trippy. It would occasionally intersect and sync up with eachother, then go back to weaving verses. Then I eventually decided I'm not high, so this is just silly.

[@markv8]

i found it. my favourite song ever. my journey has ended here.

An amazing song! Thanks to the amazing show Turn!

[@271250cl]

English composer and folk-song collector Ralph Vaughan Williams collected 'Spanish Ladies' from a Mr Donger, sailor and sail-maker of King's Lynn, in January 1905. He arranged it for voice and piano in 1912.

[@JTMorse11]

Anyone else look up this song because they heard it on an episode of Turn?

[@Alejandro_Estevez]

Thanks, long life to Spanish Republic ☭

[@ragnar97]

@@Alejandro_Estevez Except it isn't. Honestly, everytime Spain has been a republic it's lead to war and Juan Carlos is the only reason we even have a democracy. Sure it's not ideal but if anything the monarchy has been the only thing that has kept Spain somewhat stable for the last 40 years. I can understand being in favor or a republic of left leaning but communist? Really? Name a single communist country that isn't fucked up. Hay que joderse

[@ragnar97]

@Alba I wouldn't go that far. It has worked and keeps somewhat working for the time being but I wouldn't say it's the best form of government outright. For all we know 100 years from know someone will come up with something better. All we can say is we probably would still be fighting brother against brother if it wasn't for Juan Carlos. And Felipe seems to be one of the few voices of reason nowadays. That's about it. That in no way means it's ideal, it just means we could have worse.

[@masterchief8878]

[@ragnar97]

@@masterchief8878 So if I say "Long live the south" it's no biggie? If I say long live the reich again, no biggie? Fuck off. Long live the republic had nothing to do with the song so I don't know why you're going against me when he was the one who got political lol If you aren't a spaniard then, again, fuck off, the republic is what lead to our civil war and you have no fucking horse in the race.

Well I’m here listening to this song over and over again because I’m undergoing EMDR for my Complex-PTSD. I defeated my earliest traumatizing memory (age 4) a couple days ago. 💪❤️ This song has been in my head ever since. I guess it’s because of the “We’ll rant and we’ll roar” part because that’s exactly what I did at the memory in EMDR. Expect more views over the weekend because I’m not done listening to this yet! ❤️

We hove our ship to, with the wind of sou'west, boys, We hove our ship to, deep soundings to take; 'Twas 45 fathoms with a white sandy bottom So we squared our main yard And up channel did make. (Chorus) Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper, Let ev'ry man drink off his full glass; We'll drink and be jolly And drown melancholy, And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass. (Chorus) The first land we sighted was callèd the Dodman Next Rame set off Plymouth, Start, Portland, and Wight; We sailèd then by Beachy, By Fairly and Dover, Then bore straight away for the South Foreland light. (Chorus) The signal was made for the grand fleet to anchor And all in the Downs that night for to lie; Let go your shank painter, Let go your cat Haul up your clewgarnets, let tacks and sheets fly.

Extremely tough working conditions, low wages, corporal punishments like flogging (or worse) on a daily basis, terrible food, terrible hygiene, rampant diseases, horribly bloody battles, forced "recruitment" via press gangs... Nope, I'm very glad I wasn't alive back then.
