There is a women in a kitchen on the other side of the globe, chopping tomatoes and cooking, who has been singing along to your song for almost an hour now. You were probably singing it while cutting up a whale, but it serves fine for cutting up tomatoes, too. She is listening to your song sung by a young Scotsman and a hoard of other people - on a small device which brings your song into many homes across the world right now. So thank you so much for this amazing and beautiful song!

"Billy" is slang for a tea kettle that's put over a fire. "Tonguing" is the process of butchering a whale. "Wellermen" are men employed by the Weller Bros shipping company from the 1830s, in this case referring to a resupply ship. The rest of the lyrics for this song are: No line was cut, no whale was freed, An' the captain's mind was not on greed! But he belonged to the Whaleman's creed She took that ship in tow {Chorus} For forty days or even more, the line went slack then tight once more, All boats were lost, there were only four and still that whale did go. {Chorus} As far as I've heard, the fight's still on, The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone! The Wellerman makes his regular call to encourage the captain, crew and all! {Chorus x2 til Finish}

this really fits with the original purpose of sea shaties, that being of group of men locked in a boat in the middle of in an inhospitable ocean desperately trying to keep their minds off the general shitness of their working conditions. and the song itself, refering to a crew on an endless job waiting for some small relief from their corporate overlords with the vague promise of being able to get out of it someday.

Even today, when listening/feeling the voices flow through my body, remembering so much. Men depending on each other for their safety, ensuring everyone knows exactly what to do in every circumstance - high gales, when we had a whale on and it was trying to capsize us. The men who lost fingers, or limbs, when caught in the rigging - and the men who drowned - good friends - closer than family. Davy Jones's locker is full of my chums.

“a three hour tour”, huh? Nice reference, little buddy!

worked super hard on that reference thanks

I feel 3 hour is perfect - tired of constantly replaying this :D - brilliant job guys!

[@alexadascalitei7431]

Also,I appreciate so much that you included background information about the terminology for this song,it makes me even happier when listening to this,knowing I can understand it.

[@Sir_Stalwart]

Prior to this I've been primarily annoyed by tictoc because its usually kids trying to outdumb eachother. This, however, is a thing of beauty!

[@angelataylor5241]

There is a lot of beauty to be found on Tictoc

[@snowflake1135]

The one thing that united all types of communities. The one good thing that came out of TikTok. The one thing that will bring me through 2021. Thank you all.

[@themoodmusicofnature772]

Harpooned! I can't escape from this song!

[@freakinfrugal5268]

I love this! I never expected I would need to make myself a playlist of best sea chanties but apparently I do now. I love the repetition here because i like to do yoga to songs that I like to play over and over and now I don't have to stop a pose to hit play again. Poor unappreciated baritone!

[@anthonytridini8272]

So I’ve had this 3 hour on whilst driving around in my lorry it’s an epic driving song,I think BBC radio 1 are trying to produce this into an official song

[@neovampNV]

Man after listening to this I got really sad cos only if the people that made this could hear this and show how far ahead we've come because of their sacrifices and hard work I mean we are what we are because of our ancestors that's why I'd love to show them how they helped us create such a beautiful world

[@williamsmither]

As a former sailor (U.S. Navy) and historical novelist, I love your remix... I ran across your work while reviewing vintage (17th - 19th century) 'land-based' and at-sea whaling operations for my next novel. Frankly, I'm sort of 'old school' and don't use social media, but I happen to think that you're on to something positive and culturally significant by your reviving old sea shanties! Kudos! And, keep on doing whatcha doing! :) W.D.S.

Love this, amazing singers and musicians.

[@kleeknee182]

Thank you @nathanevans for this gift ..... can not stop playing it

Oh my gosh. I’m so hooked. I spend nearly my whole evening with listening to this song.

[@aleahmatty8743]

I love the smooth transition between songs. I also love the fact that the song doesn't ever get old. This is my go to song for when I need to do work because it is just so relaxing.

"stuck in your head" - thats playing things down ;-)) Got me addicted..

Oh thank god. I've been listening to the original hour loop but desperately needed that extra base (no jokes). Thanks!

[@ginibrenner3503]

@@margidjangarova211 Yes please.

[@andrewcharlton4053]

@@ginibrenner3503 One way is to convert the song to mp3 and save it on your pc or phone. You can then import local files into your spotify library. Then you'll basically have it on spotify and can add it to playlists etc

I also reccomend grabbing the Longest Johns version thats on spotify! They are a shanty band, and this is one of their best renditions

I gotta say, after the mess that was 2020, people losing friends and family to a deadly virus, al lot of us isolated from others for their safety, and the incredibly volatile political atmosphere, seeing a bunch of strangers coming together to collaborate to make this epic piece, I can’t speak for others, but I know that I needed this. ❤️
