This song will always bring me to tears, especially because it gives me hope. My son was born with a serious heart defect during 2020. I started listening to you guys with my wife with him in the womb, and he would always calm down when he heard your voices. So this song, when he heard it being 2 now, he had this big smile on his face. Thank you guys so much!

Hello! Chinese guy here. I often translate music into mental images, or feelings. And there is always a special place in my mental playlist for sea shanties. Hats off to you, good sirs! Every time I listen to "Wayfaring Stranger" (even though I am not religious), I envision a ragtag band of exiles, returning home from years in space to liberate their people from a corrupt, greedy administration. It's slow, a bit dramatic and very very trailer-esque. Again, hats off to you, good sirs! I've enjoyed your songs for quite a while now (probably... since 2020?), and I can't wait to see what comes next! Chinese guy out. Edit: Holy mackerel, that S T I C K

There's a version of the second lyric that goes, "I'm going there to meet my father, promised to greet me when I come, I'm just going over Jordan, I'm just going over home." It kinda fits with the whole returning exile vibe.

Lyrics (For myself) I am a poor wayfaring stranger Traveling through this world of woe There is no sickness, toil or danger In that fair land to which I go I'm goin' home to see my mother I'm goin' home, no more to roam I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home I know dark clouds will hover on me I know my path is rough and steep But golden fields lie out before me Where weary eyes no more shall weep I'm goin' home to see my father I'm goin' home, no more to roam I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home I'll soon be free from every trial This form shall rest beneath the sun I'll drop the cross of self-denial And enter in that home with God I'm goin' home to meet my Savior I'm goin' home, no more to roam I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home I'm goin' home to meet my Savior I'm goin' home, no more to roam I'm just goin' over Jordan I'm just goin' over home

So I've loved every sound you've had, but right at the start of the second verse this one hit a very specific note for me. I don't know if any of you fine adequate lads ever played Bastion, the first game by Supergiant Games, but that game also featured a phenomenal folk-country-esque soundtrack. As soon as the second verse hit, with the slow cadence, the heavy drum hits behind the slow banjo, and the general wistful tone, I was transported right back to hearing that soundtrack for the first time.

We sang a slightly different version of this in high school choir- much more religious in theme. Learned a little about its origins and how it was changed over the years: German hymn to slave spiritual to Libby Prison in the Civil War to the women's Methodist convocation in the early 1920's (the version we sang). I think I like your version best of all, though. The backing music reminds me of 'We All Lift Together,' fittingly enough.

About 10 years ago I spent a couple Summers on a historical recreation teaching, living history sort of sailing ship. We sang tons of shanties and I love your guys videos for helping me remember some of them and relive those times. There is one in particular that I have never been able to find the lyrics or a recording of online and I wonder if you might be able to help. It had a lot of verses and it was about two men talking to each other, one has a ship for sale and the other is looking it over and considering buying it. But the whole thing is a extended double entendre describing the ship as if she's the daughter of the first man. Or maybe describing the daughter as if she's a ship. But it goes on and on about rolling her over and all her curves. Have you ever heard a song like that?
