The Seaman's Hymn - David Coffin

[@arbitterm]

Come all you bold seamen, wherever you’re bound, And always let Nelson’s proud memory go round. And pray that the wars and the tumult may cease, For the greatest of gifts is a sweet, lasting peace. May the Lord put an end to these cruel old wars, And bring peace and contentment to all our brave tars.

[@trukeesey8715]

Nelson and Wellington were both Rothschilds' men. Financed by Rothschilds.

[@muffinman8744]

Dude I looked up sea shanties to mess with someone but ended up on "roll the old chariot" it is hands down one of the greatest bit of music I've ever heard.

[@Vales55]

Sea shanties are some of the most culturally timeless songs ever made.

[@kenprevatt1267]

I totally agree

[@lyndamiller453]

I totally agree!! I just heard that song at the end of The North Water (new series on Epix). It blew me away and now here I am diving down the KZbin rabbit hole again. I love this shit!!

[@hdaiuto]

I'm only 36 and not a sailor, but I hope David Coffin is still around to sing this at my funeral.

[@dubhainoceanntabhail5262]

RIP to all our brothers we have lost to the sea. My auld trawler fell to sea and lost all her crew. Five of my brothers gone but not forgotten. And what a voice this man has..

[@WarThunder-zt4xw]

OMG I don't have words for how stirring and beautiful this is. You've made this retired Coast Guardsmen cry happy tears Sir. God Bless You!

[@seansky2721]

Find "Humane Society" by David Coffin. It's about YOU! You and all your Brothers that risk their lives so others may live. Before the US Coast Guard or the Revenue Service were established. Semper Paratus!

[@kenprevatt1267]

Thank you for your service sir . God bless

[@NostraFnDamus]

Your voice gives me strength. Thank you.

[@kurtco.397]

Not too long ago, I saw an old friend laid to rest to this song. I thought it beautiful at the time, and as the months went on, I felt it fitting to remember him by going down the sea shanty rabbit hole. And then - I found this. This song. This version. This voice. Mr. Coffin, your voice is nothing short of spectacular. Should I, in fact, one day find myself at the Pearly Gates - hopefully sometime long from now - if God’s voice doesn’t sound like yours, I suppose I’ll be a bit disappointed.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

You are too kind and so sorry for your loss.

[@bazilbatlledragon]

Agreed David indeed has a great voice. I especially appreciate the way he takes his time with the songs and doesn't try to scream or rush through them I know many Liturgical chanters and few are as talented as David Coffin. May our great God who loves all ,restore us to that likeness which is with Him. Which he created us in. God Bless David Coffin...

[@bibs7855]

I hope I can sing this with everyone some day, in my beloved home of Massachusetts.

[@sturmpanzerwagena7v326]

Me and my friends have been singing sea shanties at the park of Friday nights disturbing the public. Looks like i found another absolute banger we can sing

[@kevinprice5813]

Good god sir

[@bazilbatlledragon]

A beautiful song for the sea. A hymn that comes from the heart.

[@kathleendail7517]

Thank you so much for keeping alive and well our histories from both near and far! Beautiful.

[@nikonikosensei6682]

Omg dude, the chills I get when listening to you sing. You’re a prime example of how I think we’ve lost something substantial through our gradual loss of singing songs.

[@pollockjeffery22]

I love how deep his voice gets for these. Shanties sound so much better with a deep voice unlike these rock remixes

[@nonnobissolum]

No words, just tears. Thank you.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Wow, thank you

[@DonutEaterator]

If they ever make another movie like Master and Commander, I hope they have you sing this from the deck of the ship.

[@ebrasildias72]

Amazing! The voice and the soul of the sailors! Congrats from Brazil!

Wow. What a fabulous voice. Very good

[@johntabner9346]

Late to the party iam here now enjoying this channel

[@jg1ovakind]

My brother has his heart set on joining the navy. as his older brother. I will be singing this when before we see him off. no he wont be a seaman but i hope it will be a reminder to him when he is away just as much as it will be a reminder for the rest of his family while he is away.

[@LawfulDead]

From a sailor to a sailor, God bless you. Thank you.

[@Ambidexter143]

In my experience at most sea music festivals the last song sung is "Leave Her Johnny".

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Quite true. But at maritime sessions many end with the Seaman’s Hymn. Leave Her Johnny is the quintessential coming home chantey for sure.

[@Ando1982ful]

David Coffin, you have a great voice!! And especially for sea shanties!! These lyrics are timeless and especially meaningful for these terrible times with the current war in Ukraine!!

[@Canopus68]

My wife and I went to Revels once many years ago. It was fantastic. This year they're going to do a virtual Revels. I've never done any sailing, but I always wanted to. I love watching the sun come up far out at sea.

[@campingrhodys5082]

God Bless David Coffin....Wonderful Stuff.

[@ghostsonwax9312]

One of the best versions I've ever heard!

[@jmstowe]

How can 5 people object to this? This was magnificent.

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Thank you.

[@superblondeDotOrg]

I object. I do not beg to any "Lord" or "God", who is actually the source of most wars.

[@EricTheOld]

FK love songs, I wish I could sing like that. What a great voice, that's awesome

[@brentrubin]

Just amazing David. Your songs bring me lots of joy. So glad I found this.

[@Chris-qt5cb]

How old is this song and it's a call for peace from those fighting the wars of others. Nothing changes. I first saw David Coffin singing at Portsmouth (via youtube) 4 years ago and was amazed. What a stirring voice and personality. Fair play and good health all. Perhaps one day we will learn. The enemy is not without. Maybe we don't count on it though eh?

[@DavidCoffinMusic]

Chris, the text was written by A.L Lloyd and loosely set to a Welsh hymn tune called Patience.

[@Chris-qt5cb]

Thank you for your reply David. That leads me to another artist I was not aware of. For all of it's faults, KZbin is a musical rabbithole if you have the time and inclination to let yourself fall. What an asset eh? My Grandfather was Welsh and sailed out from Liverpool with all it's mixed history to many of the cold seas on the whaling ships. My dad still has the scrimshaw, teeth and eardrums. How strange a change in just a lifetime or two. Abhorant by todays standards quite rightly, but just a short while ago the world was lit by whale oil and viewed so very differently. Easy to forget the realities of life just a blink of an eye away. You nail the song as always. Many thanks for sharing. If fortune allows it, my round. Hope you like a Guinness. Chris

[@BroosDager]

Just heard of you Sir, love it and subbed. Almost shed a tear thinking of those now gone. I'd go back then in a second without hesitation. To live on the sea. Just give me one drop of Nelson's (our my Norwegian ancestor's) blood.

[@poseidon6916]

You are a treasure, sir! I saw you first in “Blow the Man Down” and was struck! You are exceptional! It’s so nice to see that you are also a believer. I’m blessed to have gone to a Christian school for my whole life and be in our choir for a good few years of that time. You are exceptional, sir! I would love to see a full version of the song from the opening of that film! Much love from Miami! -Joseph

[@BoarhideGaming]

Bit ironic that you’re named after what you would consider a heathen god then, innit?

David, just saw 'Blow the Man Down.' Your music is wonderful - youre doing God's work by preserving shared common culture of a bygone Era. PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR VERSION OF "BLOOD RED ROSES."
