The Wellermen - Northwest Passage (Official Video) Featuring

[@JMDinOKC]

Never mind “O Canada”; THIS is the de facto Canadian national anthem. Bless you, Stan Rogers. And thank you, Wellermen, for a brilliant interpretation.

[@bradyschoch7562]

For those wondering where Luke is, he did NOT leave the band! Luke confirmed himself that he was super busy with work and school! He says he should be on the next track! 👍

[@markuswerner4584]

Thank you!

[@stephanginther9051]

Ah, and here I thought he went to the deigobah system...sorry he's probably sick of star wars joke's but I couldn't help it.

[@Caramelle58]

Glad to hear it

[@generalrendar7290]

It's criminal how few likes this rendition has.

[@lea-anne9133]

Maybe i was a seafarer in another life because this song provokes a lot of emotion🥺 Can't quite explain it. Thank you for the wonderful rendition 🥰🌊

[@b0hab]

May the spirit of Stan Rogers smile upon you. Absolutely beautiful!

[@folklorequine]

Fantastic! A great tribute to Stan Rogers.

[@thewellermen]

Very kind of you to say

[@mrs_brisen9553]

What a vocal thunderstorm, so powerful and harmonious, love this collab ❤️‍🔥🌊 🚣‍♀️🐋

[@thewellermen]

That was the aim ;)

[@tonyf9984]

Terrific rendering all round. Seth's distinctive melodic voice is superb for the lead vocals - he gets better & better ...

[@thewellermen]

Seth is wicked!!!

[@prefon13]

There’s something really lovely about this rendition: slowed-down tempo, the harmonies, even more ballad than shanty. Like an elegy. 🙏🏻

[@GHmorenos]

@the.bobbybass face always has such sass/emotion. It's great. @sethstatonwatkins was fantastic. Great song gentlemen.

[@TheLumberJacked]

Fun fact, this song is about a trans Canada road trip heading west from the east coast. Blew my mind when I learned that. I had always assumed it was sort of set in the old days when adventurers were carving a trail across this great land. I love it even more knowing what it is now.

[@stevenburrows4595]

That whole song shook me to my core and started tears flowing. Having studied music my whole life, I have performed in many places; but your harmonies and the lyrics struck a deep chord within me. Thank you so very much!

[@hildebergman]

Stan Rogers did some amazing songs ❤

[@stellarsjay1773]

Garnet’s high notes were like shards of ice. You’ve done a wonderful tribute.

[@cwarts5461]

This!!!! I was trying to figure out why those specific notes were so unsettling to me, and this is exactly it. It’s just like massive ice shards. (And because I’m mentally a child, I initially typed arse shards and now can’t stop giggling)

[@Macswaggens]

This speaks to my Canadian blood. Thanks for that

[@pwright2816]

I discovered this song only a few days ago. It is very moving and this particular performance is absolutely beautiful.

[@StarOfArtemis]

The absolute best rendition of this song hands down!

[@Brassydoots]

Wonderful job you guys. Seth's voice was perfect for this. Another instant classic from you all!

[@favieranne466]

Magnifiques voix !! J'adore. Merci 🙏

[@jofbeats11]

You guys are absolutely incredible please keep being you. You're amazing😎🙏

[@littleup]

I love that you included the one background voice that rises during the chorus!

[@DuduDBrito]

Singlehandely the best version of Northwest Passage i've seen yet

[@lilybay1]

Dan Vasc does a tremendous rendition as well. Worth the YT search to hear it

[@maibaum2689]

Einfach nur schön. Eine tolle Truppe - Chapeau!

Thank you for your support!! :)

[@angelwolfplays6456]

I think I just had a spiritual experience listening to this! This is gonna be on repeat for a while.

[@Clair1801]

Sung with such feeling…I think this is the most beautiful rendition of this song. Great job on the new video, and great voices all around boys.

[@thewellermen]

Thank you very much, we are glad you enjoyed it!

[@Edhooey]

Methinks dear old Stan approves!

[@SkytbmSwales]

Very epic music, this was very like insperational music. Amazing work mates, can't wait for more

[@thewellermen]

Thank you!!!! More coming soon

[@rodhittle2615]

Well done. I had not heard that since Stan Rogers sang it.

[@thewellermen]

Thank you!!

[@tin117man9]

This cover as absolutely amazing. A yt comment will never be able to explain the beauty of this song. You can get a real since of the emotion of the song. That is almost impossible to get. Phenomenal job gentleman.

[@markstergios9851]

grand adventure song!

[@studio1artspace341]

Thank you! So beautiful 🤩

[@lkayh]

Beautiful!

[@TheBuckspygmy]

That brought a tear to my eyes.

[@rebecka-mariarydell960]

Goosebumps!

[@juliacornejo7802]

What a beautiful and soothing harmony for the ears I feel like your voices flow very smoothly in this song and blend in so sweetly I enjoy it so much

[@jimwiede7975]

Here's to the remaining passages "through lands so wide and savage!" They still draw the courageous.

[@nathandc]

Beautifully sung!!

[@thewellermen]

Thank you

[@jnihill4514]

Seth has such an incredible voice! I wanted him to do this song, but this collaboration is so much more beautiful than I could have imagined. Well done!

[@Zordboy]

This was just ... beautiful. A joy to listen to. Every second was a work of art.

[@kriegenjoyer6913]

awesomme!

[@jasonjames1731]

Absolutely AMAZING, TALENTED, MOVING and soul-wrenching! The singing and performing makes me think I am actually on the expedition with Lord Franklin. I don't know why you guys don't have a major record label sign you all for a multi-album deal! Our gain, please don't stop making videos and music! Love your rendition of the Wellerman also! I highly recommend the movie, "The Fishermen's Friends". also! I am actually 3rd generation for serving in the US Navy. Son of a son of a sailor. Merry Christmas gentlemen! Please keep doing what you are all doing! 500 thumbs up!

[@kseniaixbalam2826]

/happy The Terror fan noises/ Honestly, this is so powerful! I just have no words. I just imagine Terror and Erebus stuck in ice, three graves on Beechey Island, that face of John Torrington… Ahhh I’ve got chills again. Bravo guys!

[@mr.k4039]

This gives be the same feeling as your Parting Glass cover, and i absolutely love it.

[@pgrigg]

I love this so much! So much heart!

[@erniebroadhurst1088]

Great version, well done guys!

[@gimble1]

Ah, for just one time I would take the Northwest Passage To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea; Tracing one warm line through a land so wild and savage And make a Northwest Passage to the sea. Westward from the Davis Strait 'tis there 'twas said to lie The sea route to the Orient for which so many died; Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered, broken bones And a long-forgotten lonely cairn of stones. [Chorus] Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland In the footsteps of brave Kelso, where his "sea of flowers" began Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain. [Chorus] And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me To race the roaring Fraser to the sea. [Chorus] How then am I so different from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men To find there but the road back home again. [Chorus

[@marinafilimonova7779]

Glorious! 🎉🎉🎉

[@richardtrossbach2564]

I don't know why this song has a strong connection to me, but I really like your version of the song, you guys are incredible.

[@jameslouder]

Thank you for your stirring rendition of this great Canadian song--not a sea shanty, nor a folk song, but a modern anthem for our country and a paean to its soul. But I wish you had included in the credits above, an acknowledgement of its composer, the late Stan Rogers (1949-1983). It would be only justice to a good man and great artist, taken from us far too young. My God, can it really be forty years ago?

sounds gorgeous as always. the tempo and pacing difference between the original and this does trip me but much love regardless

[@JessWLStuart]

One of my favorite songs *ever* performed with soul and skill by excellent musicians! Here's a suggestion for another song - The Witch of the Westmerland (by Archie Fisher, or the cover by Stan Rogers)!

[@brianward7424]

I would love to hear you guys cover the Witch of Westermerland, also “The Outside Track” that Garnet Rogers did so well

[@thewellermen]

Thank you!!

[@jg1ovakind]

I hope you lads do all the big tracks again as more and more bassists come forth. Becuaer I think this with the bass of misty mou trains would absolutely kill 🍻

I can’t believe I am saying this, but I think I enjoy/love it more than the original from Stan Roger’s. Or maybe not. It’s a close call. Absolutely beautiful.,

[@LuminairPrime]

Great performances and mix! I wonder what it would sound like with one vocalist to begin with, then two, then three, and so on, add up over time?

[@flintflyer575]

is this AI ? this is perfect, to perfect. it's too good.

[@JeffShirley-cd9dd]

Top knotch singers singing.

[@MrnintendoSEGAfan1]

There has to be another remix of this!

[@thewellermen]

This could work!!

[@stephanginther9051]

Do you guys think you could do 'Lias An Lurighan?' Its a really cool Scottish sea shanty about a brave captain during a terrible storm. There is some debate about the title phrase since it can mean 'With Lurighan' or 'On the Lurighan' so no one's really sure if Lurighan is the name of the ship or the captain but either way its a really epic song. Here's an excellent example. The band playing it switches to another song at the 2.28 mark but its the best version of the song I've found to date. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZimqqGKfbaqmKc

[@thewellermen]

We can certainly look into it! Thank you for the suggestion

[@stephanginther9051]

@@thewellermen Even if you choose not to do it, I hope you like the song.

[@johnbrownell7715]

Great job, but you may as well do Barretts Privateers too while you're at it. Seriously though, that would be great if you haven't already.

[@ernestmac13]

My only complaint about this video is some of it's edditing; when it transitions between singers, but the domant voice isn't that if the person appearing on the screen, it can be a bit disorienting, similar to the misuse of a jump cut can diaorient a viewer. Such errors remind the viewer they are watching a video; pulling them out of the experience. The same is true when a movie's pace bogs down, jumos around too much, etc. Still a good video overall, this is why it's good to let someone not involved in a project view it, just as it's good to have aomeone else read your essay, their distance from the project makes them often more able to spot errors.
