The pirates who don't do anything!! Would be epic!

[@annapantsu]

tbh im pretty sure this recording was the first time I’ve ever sung this song while sober. thanks for having me (and thank you for the excuse to sing Atlantic Canadian folk music)!!! 🎉🎉

[@strifenineteen]

Use to sing this in Choir back home in Newfoundland, haven't heard it in awhile

[@TeahVickery]

Love you, my little 🇨🇦 songbird, drunk or sober! You're incredible, and you do our country proud! I challenge any Canadian who thinks otherwise to come to Alberta and I'll aggressively change their minds! 😘

[@Vaishino]

I should have known this was a suggestion from you xD

[@siegelink9549]

I think you forgot to put sure after pretty. But ether way its true.

[@AgentTex1973]

Yeah we rarely sing it sober in Halifax, at least amongst my friends.

For anyone interested: Barrett's Privateers was originally written and sung by Canadian Folk artist Stan Rogers in the 70s. Stan Rogers was tragically killed in 1983 when the plane he was travelling home after a Folk Festival caught fire in midair (Air Canada 797) and despite landing safely, he was unable to get off before a sudden and violent flashover occurred, consuming the entire cabin. He was 33.

[@BeakerandBella]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4anZI2hqrSDe7s Good episode about flight 797

[@cparle87]

Musicians seem to have a very bad track record with planes. Maybe more should use trains instead.

[@SpiderboyN2Jesus]

@@cparle87 To be fair, trains can't get you overseas. And even then, he could have ended up like the titular "Last of Barrett's Privateers" if he'd gone by boat, anyway, lol 😅...

[@letharja]

Oh my goodness

[@BNJT]

Yeah I heard the Real McKenzies' version of this before I ever heard of Stan Rogers, then got into his back catalogue. Almost every song is a classic, he's a national treasure in Canada I hear

[@PatchyMcSlashy]

And thus the whole crew is now finally together for a song and damn is it a magical experience

[@XXsirstrawhatXX]

weren't all six of them together for "Roll The Old Chariot Along"?

[@PatchyMcSlashy]

@@XXsirstrawhatXX Richard didn’t have a singing verse on that one

[@JacksonPhixesPhones]

Rest in peace Stan Rogers, and thank you for giving the world this brilliant song before you left us. An incredibly talented, brilliant musician, taken at 33 years old . . FAR TOO EARLY! This song means so much to so many people, myself included, so massive thanks to everyone who played, sang, etc. on this brilliant cover. And thanks to whoever did the engineering, the mix sounds great, absolutely amazing. IMHO, damn near perfect! 🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@me0101001000]

Jon: The captain of the ship. He was once a pirate, but he was let out under the condition he would become a privateer and only practice piracy when sanctioned. He's behaving, but there's just something about the freedom of piracy that calls to him. Caleb: The quartermaster, Jon's best friend, and right hand man. Whenever Jon got in trouble, Caleb was the one to get him out of trouble. It was Caleb who was able to broker a deal to become privateers rather than being executed. Colm: A bard who came aboard and just joined the group and became the first mate. He keeps the ship moving with his music and many instruments. Work songs, folk songs, shanties, he knows them all. If the ship is a living thing, and Jon is the brain, Colm is the beating heart. Anna: A woman who snuck aboard disguised as a man. She talks herself out of just about anything, and is a master with a cutlass. She and Colm often write music together. Peyton: A navyman who is tasked with ensuring the pirates turned privateers don't do anything funny. But he finds himself growing closer to them, seeing their ways, and fitting in great. He still pushes back from time to time on things that cross a line, helping keep the ship in line. Richaad: Also a navyman, but far more relaxed than Peyton. He also wound up making music with Colm and Anna. Sometimes he and Peyton butt heads on restraining the pirates from doing, well, pirate things.

[@calebdaily1049]

I love this lore for each of the singers, I hope Jonathan makes it canon

[@helenaalexandra4197]

I'd see Peyton as the Ship's Marine, but maybe it's the hair :P

I love how it’s all modern with a somewhat Pirate feel to the art, and then Jon just has a sword.

[@nathancail7939]

As a Canadian that has sang this in a Halifax bar whilst drunk on Whiskey, I have to say, this cover is amazing. Alestorm used to have the best cover of this, but this is now the best cover of this song. Long live Stan Rogers. Thanks for this cover!

[@dmacjr55]

This is awkward... Stan passed a long time ago... Unlike the Mary Ellen Carter he's not gonna rise again

This is probably the most American-patriotic song to ever come out of Canada and be about the US-British skirmishes between 1776 and 1812

[@xionaltharos7360]

“We’d fire no guns, shed no tears” Me: *sheds all the tears* You guys got extra room on the ship? But fr tho so cool to see all my favorite artists do something together!!! Can’t wait to see what you all do next! No matter what heading you guys have, count me in to hoist those sails! ⚓

[@Azrael79a]

It makes sense that Jon was the last survivor. He has a lot of experience as a space pirate.

As a Atlantic Canadian who has heard this song god knows how many time. This cover is straight up 🔥🔥🔥

[@jwwhitmarsh8411]

Seems fitting that Stan Rogers with his incredible deep voice and fun personality would have one of his bangers covered by Jonathan Young and the dopest gang of artists to come from KZbin

Absolutely loving the vocals, you guys got talent

May i recommend the other sea shanty metal covers they did? :D

As a Nova Scotian born and raised and now living in New Brunswick this song has been a staple of my childhood going to farmer's markets over the years. Did an awesome job on this cover!

Been a hot minute since the Steelwork Sirens stormed the high seas with a new song. Good to see the crew still singing proudly together

[@kuro_danshaku]

[@Seisachtheia]

Gotta say that I am loving the covers of some Canadian classics! Nobody does it like Stan Rogers but these covers are great and you can tell were done with some serious heart.

[@RXdash78]

Honeslty you could take any number of folk songs and give them this treatment, but I would literally murder to hear "Witch of the westmoreland" done as a metal song.

[@spacepiratecaptainrush1237]

one of the nicer covers, still, Stan Rogers version will forever be lodged in the core of my heart.

[@Significantpower]

As a Haligonian born and raised, this song was the prelude to MANY a hangover.

[@GamingPaladin]

Missed one. "Now here I lay in my 23rd year, "how I wish I was in Sherbrooke now! "It's been six years since we sailed away, "And I just made Halifax yesterday." [Chorus]

[@matthewmarchant2095]

Missed two. At length we stood two cables away. How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now. Our cracked 4 pounders made an awful din but with one fat ball the Yank stove us in.

This is basically our provincial anthem, so thanks for metal-izing the song you hear in every Halifax pub after midnight.

How does a song sound so tragic and yet so triumphant at the same time? You people are magic makers, I swear.

[@shawncarroll7784]

born and raised in Newfoundland for all 25 years of my life. I've heard this song growing up all my life. and i have to say it now, Stan rogers would be outright shocked how well you all made this song work as a metal song... and then he'd likely ask you to sit down, sing the original and enjoy a few beer in da shed with him. turn into a shed party for the night before it ends, guarantee! I LOVE IT!!

[@misterspaceman9563]

I'm a baritone who LOVES shanties. Much like Stan Rogers, I often get bored singing the harmonies. Barrett's Privateers is one of the best for the voice part and it's the first shanty I fully learned. I love to lead it whenever there's a group of singers together, thank you for appealing to this very niche interest of mine!

[@licenetospam]

Hi a Barrett from halifax here thanks for bringing this song of my people to more folks ❤

[@rumblytumbleson1995]

As a broken man on a Halifax pier I confirm this is 🔥

[@Gunstonization]

Big swell on this 'un, for certain. Lovely to see so much local praise, too. 'Specially from the Maritimers dere. Would love to see epic treatment to 'Rolling Down to Old Maui' sometime.

[@cardinalhamneggs5253]

I was introduced to this song through _AcapellaScience._ “And to think I take up sugar now!” I’m not actually diabetic, just quoting the song. It’s about how Frederick Banting discovered how to treat Type-1 Diabetes with insulin, and it’s sung from the perspective of Leonard Thompson, who was Banting’s first successful patient. Thompson almost died in his teens, but thanks to Banting’s insulin treatment he managed to live until the age of 27, at which point his life was claimed by a bout of double-pneumonia.

[@Xanthyr]

I've listened to this song at least 7 times a day for the last week man, such a great rendition, prompting me to learn all the mariner terms out of curiosity. Awesome work, really

Within reason, I'm crazy. Also, I love the part "we said we 'd fire no guns" makes me giggle because it hints that something went off the rails, and Blackbeard actually only used violence as a last resort, he was all intimidation rolls lol! You should Open for a Pirate Metal Band like Alestorm with this. I'm in love! I can see Jack Sparrow dancing to this completely wasted and it fucking SLAPS!
