“My ears are being hugged” hahaha

[@jackiejo3812]

I don't care where you come from, when you hear a good folk song (and a sea shanty is a particular type of folk song) it feels like a hand has reached down into your soul and pulled out something that's been inside of you forever.

[@nickc7400]

@No Way Now you're just talking about Assassin's Creed Black Flag XD

[@nickc7400]

@No Way I knew what you meant, I just saw the phrase "DNA memories," and I had to say something, lol. That would be cool to explore our ancestors' pasts though.

[@nickc7400]

@No Way Oh trust me, I've seen records of my ancestor's entry to America. I know some stuff about my history. It's pretty interesting stuff!

[@nickc7400]

@No Way that sounds like a time and a half, good talking to you too!

[@Esmeagolly]

It is, it’s something primal, it is familiar to all of us.

[@deathtrapsnap]

"Does anyone else feel a familiarity with sea shanties?" I swear with the history of shanties, theres something primal about singing and working. And a workers song like this just resonates inside and empowers us like it did the sailors, even when they were overworked, under slept and weeks away from home. And with our current global situation, we all feel distant from out normal lives and we feel like we are slaving through lockdown. I think the similar feeling helps drive this song deeper

[@PiratesRose9098]

I feel like it’s almost any work song, not just sea shanties... I noticed it with Geoff Castellucci’s cover of “Sixteen Tons” (originally by Tennessee Ernie Ford)- which is about coal mining

[@SapSapient]

I'm from the middle of North America. My ancestors are from landlocked Europe and Asia. I STILL feel a connection to this music.

[@corinna007]

I feel connected to shanties because they are a huge part of Canadian east coast folk music. They're so great. 😊

[@shawnagoddard4999]

Same.

[@seraphi3387]

Especially in New England!

[@yourlordship1119]

Shanties are a huge part of almost everyone's history, nearly every language have their own songs that pull people together, usually during hard repetitive work or difficult times to make people feel that camaraderie and lift moral. Still sung today in places, I've heard construction workers singing. I'm sure there is some part of the brain, maybe cell memory or something but we all connect to it. Very cool stuff.

[@loopylucy4301]

The great thing about this particular one, it transcended age, colour, creed and everyone was literally in harmony not a worry not a care.... just happy

[@gerardstephens58]

Literal perfection

[@mrwtuber1217]

@@gerardstephens58 3:33 best! Harmony! Ever!

[@lexsamreeth8724]

Some linguists believe that things like sea shanties were the reason language came into existence to begin with - to coordinate and direct work done as a group. I suppose that's why sea shanties hit such a deep chord in us.

[@jolt1536]

You gotta feel bad for the poor guy in the beginning who had to hit his hand on the table throughout the entire song without missing a beat XD

[@nataliemarshall971]

“Ohh I wanted more” Me too! I loved your reactions to this! Thank you

[@FNARproductions]

Never related more to anything than the "noohhh... i wanted more" at the end

[@sebastienbusque2312]

That's one of the reasons why traditional music, even if it may sound old at times, doesn't get old.

[@chillycatman-4791]

I have never been one to sing but this shanty has had me almost singing so many times.

[@sympostersyndrome]

this is such a wholesome and observant reaction 🥺

[@alexanderwesthuis3486]

the bass bloke in red, is Luke_the_voice. a 19 year ons kid with a voice of an elequant elder gentleman

[@CriticalCoen]

He is 19? Holy shit.

[@nyxstyxy]

He is also the first one to add a duet to this shanty.

[@Mr_Wicked]

Right yo.. this song... it possesses a certain primal tick.. a itch...that just festers..

[@chrristineq]

Hearing this makes me feel glad to be human and gives me hope for humanity.

[@electricheartpony]

So, I had no idea about this blow up for Wellerman until today. I wanted to hear the sea shanty sung in Sea of Thieves. This just gives me hope for Tic Toc

[@electricheartpony]

@@ioxha638 and that immediately made me lose all hope for that group

[@beakittelscherz5419]

Damn ... the black dude ´s harmonic spin on it is just pitch perfect. Lovvit :-D

[@boncalesdiomar4113]

Yeah... I feel you bro the feelings of sailing in the seas while imagining im a pirate and that man it's a captain then sing-along after the adventure like pirates of the Caribbean vibes 😄

[@pupknowsall6706]

Bro. . .when he sang with it tho GET THIS BOY AS THE BASS

[@PiccoloMichelaChannel]

Don’t forget the river dance that goes with it! Search for “Wellerman dance gardinerbrothers”

[@atmeneti21]

so we wont talk about the dude at 03:55 up-left corner, who brings the sickest melody layer?

[@elefanator]

I'm sorry but Wellerman comes from New Zealand

[@rabidsamfan]

I like the guy who created a high harmony..

[@ordinary-not2525]

When you were talking about the difference in the bass singers, I looked it up. There’s actually 7 sub-categories within the bass voice type. Basso cantante (singing bass), hoher bass (high bass), jugendlicher bass (juvenile bass), basso buffo ("funny" bass), Schwerer Spielbass (dramatic bass), lyric bass, and dramatic basso profondo (low bass).

[@kimewertz3391]

nice video man 🥰

[@VanessaFiji]

Great reaction! Thanks v much. The basso profundo is now on youtube as @scooterinthestairwell

[@TheMarrification]

I really love how you brought in how it connects you to your culture and heritage. I'm from west Devon and Cornwall and sea-fairing and piracy is a big part of our culture here and I really feel what you said. We have a pirate's weekend every year in my city, lol. We all have a bit of it in us! Poynt da ow broder (good health my brother).

[@donnilloyd1355]

You're not the only one who wanted to join in, brother. Myt coffee cup told me that I was swing to much, it spilled onto the table. LOL. It is addictive. Nice Post.

[@fredrikolsen6389]

I agree this song is amazing. Love from Norway

[@GodPain93]

7:38 my fking Reaction xD

[@UzumakiClanHead]

The connection your feelings is probably you remembering assassin's creed

[@CabalisticSpecies]

Tbf you’re probably not wrong 😂

[@dennislegrave6291]

My freind:what type of music do you like Me:its complicated

[@clairelouise4063]

[@NavyGuy2OO7]

The US Navy band got in on the fun too, pretty fun rendition.

[@loreleibertoch6886]

He's just vibin

[@silverthornstributes6945]

So much fun :)

[@virquisite1077]

1:56 Imagine your ancestors giving everything they had got in order to stop Pirates and then this man comes and says " I can relate to that ". This totally satire.

[@CabalisticSpecies]

Haha oops

[@virquisite1077]

@@CabalisticSpecies Haha

[@Reignlief]

a connection? your british like me mate! the sea is in our blood!

[@CabalisticSpecies]

You’re not wrong there!

[@meredithkaupp1045]

There is a Supernatural sea shanty, and Kim Rhodes (Jody Mills) and Breana Buckmaster (Donna) did a version. It’s really good.

[@zachmatthews1249]

No you're not the only one I know I'm late to the party but dude it's like a primal feeling

[@Villain69420]

i like the tenor bass and the alto bass the best

[@liamuk8944]

😂😂 That was funny bro... It reminds you of your ancestors.. Well not my ancestors 😂 that set me off. Good reaction pal

[@s.vidhyardhsingh3881]

Man you can do those growls!!! Amazing!!! 🤩 My brother has a lower voice than me so I go lower by growls and he can’t 😂😜

[@masterkane5340]

I'm of Scottish and Irish descent, I absolutely feel a deeper connection to this sort of thing than IK how to explain. Lol Idk if its my heritage, or the fact that I've always gone straight fuckin Nerd for shit like D&D and fantasy shit, or what the deal is... But I absolutely love it. I wont even lie.

[@anthonyhantonh]

Sir, if you count yourself as British....the sea does indeed run in your blood.

[@leed1318]

It’s almost impossible to not sing along :)

[@Royce3636]

You're voice is good too brother

[@noticedruid4985]

[@bearyhasbeentaken1349]

i like when they sing also i forgot to share

[@RocketRobinHood]

I think you may have accidentally clicked on something that fast forwarded to the end, because all of a sudden you can hear the end of the "Remix" version, which you skipped. Too bad, because that was a really great part, and we would have loved to see you reacting to it for the first time. (You've probably realized this mistake by now, but it's surely too late to do anything about it, as regards this video. 🤷🏼‍♂️)

[@CabalisticSpecies]

Didn’t make a mistake it was copyrighted so the video got blocked so had to remove it or the video couldn’t be seen, it was a great part of the video and I loved how it sounded

[@mimmi-und-manni5253]
