#seashanty #piratesofthecaribbean #acapella
Hope you like bass cause this is FULL OF IT!!! This song will be out on all streaming on Friday so get your fill of this amazing video done by my sister Nicole Waters until it's released everywhere else!!!🎶🎶🎶
this is a great amount of bass. it's very good also your sister is talented too cause this video is great.
Congratulations on the video. And condolences for your loss.⚓🖤
She did amazing! You all did amazing. Beautiful arrangement. ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. It's a hauntingly beautiful arrangement.
❤❤❤❤❤
Legendary sea shanty in the bass centered arrangement? Hell yeah 😈
The growl was fucking insane dude!!! How!?!
The bassiest and spookiest sea shanty ever?? So stoked to be a part of this one 👊🏼
POL ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Perfect description.
SPOOKY!
Totally agree!
And that shows how many shades you can come up with in this type of content. From the highly saturated disney reworks to the low exposure, black and white, creepy sea shanty.
Even more than hoist the colors?
So very happy we got to do 2 shanties this fall - Hope you guys enjoy the song! ⚓
Best version of this shanty ever conceived, if not recorded! Well done fellas!
Two? Are you referring to The Wellerman's latest one, too, or did you just spoil an upcoming TBG release? ^^
I mean Santiana, yeah :) @@Tintenstreuner
Tomi P is incredible - from the deepest bass notes to the highest ones - he’s perfection!
This is such a GREAT mix between a shanty and the eeriest halloween spookiness... a perfect thing.
Voices: incredible. Basses: staggering. Arrangement: devilishly clever. Video: creepily perfect.
Overall score: oh, my gawd!
LOW NOTE LIST:
0:10 - C2 Chest Repetitive [Bobby]
0:31 - Bb1 Chest [Bobby]
0:36 C2 Chest Strong [Bobby]
0:57 - *F1 Subharmonics* [Bobby]
1:10 - C2 Chest Repetitive [Tomi]
1:39 - *F1 Growl* [Tomi]
2:08 - C2 Chest Repetitive [Peter]
2:37 - *F1 Subharmonics* [Peter] Crazy transition!
2:43 - Bb1 Chest [Bobby]
2:54 - *F1 Subharmonics* [???]
3:03 - C2 Chest Repetitive [Marwan]
3:21 - Bb1 Chest [Marwan]
4:18 - *F1 Subharmonics* [???]
That is the BASSIEST Sea shanty I've heard so far!!!
Very cool cover and the video edit! Some interesting chords at the end!!
And yo that transition from Peter at 2:35 is fire!
Tomi hit that F1 growl
@@Notmiddleg op my bad bruh
the mystery subs are probably 1 each per section i would assume besides tomi.
Bb1 chest is crazy
2:54 might've been tomi because he was tilting his head down the most lol
Way to subvert the trope of only-feminine sirens. Your enchanting voices would certainly lure me off my ship in the dark of night. This has jumped straight to the top of my Bass Gang favorites list!
Lyrics: "My Jolly Sailor Bold"
(originated 1850s - thank you for the info @CasperFox 🙂)
(Bobby 00:03)
Upon one summer's morning,
I carelessly did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping,
where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass,
who seemed to be in pain
Saying 'William, when you go,
I fear you'll ne'er return again'
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
(Tomi 01:05)
His hair it hangs in ringlets,
his eyes as black as coal
My happiness attend him
wherever he may go
From Tower Hill to Blackwall,
I'll wander, weep and moan
All for my jolly sailor,
until he sails home
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
(Peter 02:02)
My father is a merchant
The truth I now will tell
And in great London City
In opulence doth dwell.
His fortune doth exceed
300,000 gold
And he frowns upon his daughter
Who loves a sailor bold.
(tutti 02:38)
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold.
(Marwan 02:57)
My name it is Maria,
a merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents
and three thousand pounds a year
While up aloft in storm
From me his absence mourn
And firmly pray arrive the day
He safely will return.
(interesting turn in the lyrics here, which explains the eye brows at 03:33)
(tutti 03:38)
Come all you pretty fair maids,
whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold
that ploughs the raging sea
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
just fyi - Ashley Serena did not write this song. The song originates in the 1850s.
@@CasperFox thank you very much. I corrected it above accordingly.
Oh this is gonna be scary 😱
Terrifying... in the best possible way! Definitely one of the best productions yet!
Absolutely incredible!!!
Thanks!
Shiver me timbers! This is one epic cover! Not only is the arrangement outstanding but so is the video editing! I love the special effects!
I was NOT prepared for Bobby’s subterranean note at the very beginning! It caught me totally off guard! And just when I thought it was safe for me to come back up from under the earth, Tomi decides to drop an atomic bomb out of nowhere! That’s what made this cover even more eerily fascinating! I could never predict when the next big drop was going to happen, which had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, lol.
It just amazes me how you all are able to sing so deep and so high at the same time! If I was only listening to the audio of this song and did not know anything about The Bass Gang, I would never guess that those same deep voices were singing those high parts as well! That is truly remarkable!
All in all, you all sounded so amazing, and you all blended very well! I give this cover one million out of five stars!
Until Next Time, May The Bass Be With You, Mateys!
P.S. I was so excited to see the lamp make a final cameo! I was not expecting that all! Do I sense a sequel? LOL, just kidding!
Thank you so very much, Isaac! We are so happy you enjoyed it and we are SO GRATEFUL for you support
Did you mean to say subterranean? Or is that a mistake? because if it was a mistake, you probably meant to say subharmonic… not trying to be mean
@@elmersglue900 No worries! Your comment did not come off as rude at all! I totally understood what you were trying to say! I purposely used the word “subterranean,” which means “existing, occurring, or done under the earth's surface.” When I described Bobby’s low note as “subterranean,” I was essentially saying that his note was so low that it was under the earth's surface, lol. It was a figure of speech. 😂
@@isaacstain7784 And, what a perfect figure of speech it was!!! 🎉
Well done to you all. Bobby, Peter, Marwan and Tomi, your creativity blows me away over and over again
Look after yourselves
Ngl, for a Bobby arrangement, this sounds like a Tomi arrangement. Those harmonies were f’ing awesome, especially during the end!
Had the same thought tbh, was expecting Tomi first hand and Peter second 😂
I knew immediately it was Bobby, but yeah, I could hear some of Tomi’s trademark sounds as well. So well done!!
Bobby loves to use dissonant/funky chords in some of his arrangements.
Very much had Lullaby of Woe feels
Well this is a steep turn in atmosphere after the Disney covers. Love both styles, you never fail to amaze…
A wonderful tribute. I’m very sorry for your loss, Bobby and Nicole. This arrangement is great and the song choice is fitting.
Rest in peace, Sam waters. May the bass be with you 🖤
Would you mind giving some more context for this?
I'm a bit lost as to who Sam waters is, and when I try to look them up, I get multiple people
@@allovergamer3484 Sam waters was likely an uncle or father of bobby and nicole waters.
@@red5250He’s Bobby’s and Nicole’s cousin who passed away some months ago.
Tomi and Peter’s lowest bass notes actually jump scared me 😂 This is a beautiful arrangement, Bobby!
It was an arrangement by Nicole Waters I think
@@stevenkatona1522 Video edit by Nichole, arranged by Bobby
What? No, I don't want this to be already over! Nothing ever felt "too short" as much as this one! This just officially kicked "Be prepared" to second place in my playlist of TBG favourites. I love Bobby's intro as well as the harmony between him and Tommy in the beginning. I'm very much looking forward to Peter explaining in his reaction who sang which part, especially the really high ones. The backgrounds with the forest were really cool, too, as they almost made me forget you're not in the same place. Also, the lamp that contained Marwan in Vol 3 is back, and I'm excited to see if this is going anywhere. After all, with the previous one having been arranged by someone else and this one by Bobby, there might be three more songs to come arranged by each of the other three respectively...
2:32 Holy that transition from chest to subs was beautiful Peter. The work is paying off! 🙌
Beautifully haunting! If there were male Sirens, this is what they'd sound like!
The Bass Gang just keeps getting better and better. This was great. I loved that each one of you had a solo and we all got to hear four absolutely amazing voices. What amazes me is the high harmonies that I know you guys do. You all have an amazing vocal range.
I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS!!! Everything about it is 10000% amazeballs!!! The harmonies at the end give me chills upon chills, and I'm living for every single one of your voices!! Can't get enough of you guys ❤❤❤❤❤
WOW. Chills. No notes. This is ethereal in the most chilling way. I absolutely love everything you guys did.
Words fail me ....such a mournful song, and yet my heart fills with love and admiration for your mastery of every nuance. If fault there be, tis in its brevity. Bravo, me hearties, bravo! Heave ho, me hearties, heave away! The sea, the sea, she calleth thee!
Bobby Bass, Bobby Baritone, Bobby Tenor. Each as beautiful with such rich smoothness and velvety tones. You, sir, are amazing!
Only started listening to you a couple of months ago, but my god it’s been amazing listening to you. You always make me feel better and happy. Please we all want more!!!!! Love from the uk
May the bass be with you
I have absolute chills!!!! This is one of my favorite songs!!! Absolutely gorgeous! It’s so rich and the harmonies are perfect!!! This will be played loud on repeat with headphones constantly. Thank you for blessing us with your voices!!!!!
Once again just brilliant. Just loved it. Keep them coming. Thanks Dorothyx ( Grandma 78yrs North East England )
I wasn't prepared for you guys to make me cry real tears of longing and grief, but thank you for presenting a beautiful place for catharsis.
This is absolutely stunning. Bobby, the arrangement is so haunting and tender. I love that I can recognize some of the signature textures you create, that feel symphonic and vast. Nicole, dude, you hit such a gorgeous and poignant balance with the layered visuals and effects!
I'm absolutely in love with this one, guys. I can't wait to learn the words and sing it with you.
You all look amazingggg as well. 🖤❤️🔥
Cheers 🩵✌️
Wow! Speechless
Only one question though. How do I get out from this hypnosis you put me into 😂
Gotta go for a swim - Thank you!
Never heard this song before, but man, that's about the darkest sea shanty I've ever heard! Excellent job, gentlemen! Excellent job!
These are probably my favourite arrangements of all that you've done. This showcases everyone's voice perfectly. It escalates somewhere in your bones and soul, builds into the haunting beauty and sends shivers of fear and excitement through your skin. It's like a demonic choir.
And this contrast between low leads and high harmonies is just... wow. No words...
Thank you for this experience, guys, I was nearly in tears during first watch of this video. To tell the truth, I'm still is after like the tenth one...🖤
amazingly done!
0:04 C5 F5 falsetto chord (is that them or a track? If it is then it’s probably tomi and another one but idk)
0:10 C2 chest (Bobby) repeats a few times throughout this part
0:24 F1! subharmonic (Tomi is probably doing growl there cause I can hear it a bit, but the other 3 are on subs I think)
0:30 Bb1 chest (Bobby)
0:57 F1! subharmonic (Bobby jeez stop breaking my headphones)
1:10 C2 chest (Tomi) same thing as Bobby, repeats through this part
1:39 F1 growl (Tomi you’re also breaking my headphones)
2:08 C2 chest (Peter) also repeats throughout the part
2:21 G4 F#4 F4 falsetto (Tomi, Bobby)
2:34 Bb1 G#1 G1 F1 subharmonic (Peter)
2:43 Bb1 chest (Peter?)
2:48 Bb1 chest (Peter?)
2:54 F1! subharmonic (all 4 but there is a slight chance Tomi’s on an F0 inhale)
3:00 G#5! falsetto (?)
3:02 C2 chest (Marwan) repeats throughout the section
3:16 G5! E5 F5 falsetto (Peter, maybe Bobby?)
3:21 G5! falsetto (Peter) Bb1 chest (Marwan)
3:32 F6! whistle register (Tomi probably)
Rating: 111/10 BASS 111/10 HIGHS
Range: F1-F6, 5.0 octaves (6.0 octaves if the F0 exists)
Are you sure that Tomi's 1:39 is a growl and not inhale singing? been relistening to that part a lot and can not tell.
@@gabesmith9623 that is definitely growl
@@stevegoldson67 I think I hear it now, thanks
So proud to be a part of this fantastic production (I was the lighthouse)
Wow, that's amazing!! What a stunning arrangement, my favorite ever from Bobby I think ❤ This will go on repeat
Tomi singing in that low pitched minor key gives me chills every time I listen to this song.
As a bass singer, myself, I *love* following your stuff. I usually sing along and dream I'm hitting those outrageously low notes as loud and strong as y'all do -- so effortlessly. That strong sub-h F1 blows my ever-loving mind.
When you blow up for singing with pirates on TikTok, ya gotta make a sea shanty out of whatever you can!
This was awesome guys! Love the ethereal and ominous vibe, the makeup, the dissonant chords, and Nicole’s phenomenal video editing!
Mournfully chilling. And I can't get enough of it.
These four people embody what my own personal siren would sound like. I would follow these voices anywhere, even to my demise.
Gosh Peter's transition from chest to subharms was soo good and eerie at the same time! Like the slight higher pitch on that first sub note, even if unintentionally, really sold the creepiness. Amazing work from all of you!
I thought I knew what you were capable of, but with this cover, you scared me **again**! Also, I had to listen to this three times because it wasn't quiet in the room the first time, and I used a speaker the first and second time I listened to it. Headphones are not optional when listening to a bass gang cover, dang! Phenomenal work, as always.
I'm gonna listen to the song again and again (tomorrow, I'm very tired rn xD) because it's just awesome what you are capable of!
The Bass Gang has dropped another banger, which makes the start of the work week amazing for everyone.
That was superb! I cranked up the Bose headphones full full effect, and those harmonies as well as the dragon speak...!! Awesome 👌
This is a beautiful piece and a beautiful tribute to someone who has been lost.
This is absolutely gorgeous and so haunting at the same time, I love it so much😍 Y'all can never disappoint me with your arrangements, they are just always so creative. Thank you for always making beautiful music❤
Wow! I did not expect a sea shanty after all the disney reworks!
You hit the perfect theme, as always! I love the end part, with the dissonance between the bass and the tenor. I almost had goosbumps by it.
Holy cow! My insides are still quivering from those deep notes. Well done as always guys!
Lyrics
Upon one summer's morning
I carelessly did stray
Down by the warls of wapping
Where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass
Who seemed to be in pain
Saying William when you go I fear
You'll ne'er return again
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
His hair, it hangs in ringlets
His eyes as black as coal
May happiness attend him
Wherever he may go
From tower hill to black wall
I'll wander, weep, and moan
All for my jolly sailor
Until he sails home
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My father was a merchant
The truth I now will tell
And in great London city
In opulence doth dwell
His fortune doth exceed three hundred
Thousand coins of gold
And he frowns upon his daughter
'Cause she loves a sailor bold
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
My name, it is Maria
A merchant's daughter fair
And I have left my parents and
Three thousand pounds a year
While up aloft in storm or gale
From me his absence mourn
And firmly pray arrive the day
He safely will return
Come all ye pretty fair maids
Whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold
That plows the raging sea
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold
That transition to F1 sub is insane peter!!!
Absolutely love this one, I haven't hit repeat on a patreon preview so much since Yellow Flicker Beat
Timbers well and truly shivered!
This might be my favorite bass gang song yet. I love all the bass! The more bass, the better 🎉
Amazing!!! Omg when you guys dropped to those looooow notes, I shivered in a very good way. 🥰 Very mesmerizing. Took my breath away. *Giggles. Playing on repeat! ❤
Beautiful! Great harmony and just the perfect doomed/haunted feel. Love it!
OMG. This could not be more haunting. The makeup is terrifying. Excellent arrangement.
Such a great job you guys. Gorgeous video and song.
Rest in peace, Sam
Idk who that is. Would you please explain?
@@Notmiddleg the end of the video says it’s dedicated to the late Sam Waters
@Bass_Krispies is he an actor or something? When I look up Sam waters, it only mentions sam waterson
@@Bass_KrispiesIs Sam related to Bobby and his sister?
@@TallyDrake I don’t know but I would guess as much
Reactors: Volume 3 wasn't bass-y enough.
Bass Gang: Hold our beers
This is just magnificent, guys. Truly magnificent!
The makeup mixed with the visual ediiting is just awesome. It looks so cool.
If there was a Nobel Prize in bass, you guys would get it in no time. My colleague is going to the Nobel Awards Dinner on Dec 10th, I'll ask her to speak to the Committee!!! Holy anchors! 😮😮😮
I watched this the first time at my parents over the holiday. Just now getting to hear it through headphones. I could tell it was outstanding before, but wow. I think the best word to describe this is haunting.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Peter's analysis. Great job guys.
This is so creepy, but beautiful at the same time. All the vocals are amazing, and it's even better with good headphones.
Amazing job, guys, as always!
Bloomin' 'eck those bass notes ..... and those high notes!! 😵💫 Phenomenal. Great work guys - love it!! 👍😊
Nicole was the video editor! I knew it! The minute I saw it in the early release, I knew! Day-um she's GOOD!!
Amazing cover! I honestly never expected anyone to cover this song so this was a very welcome surprise! I love the spooky vibes!
Wowww the spooky creepy vibes are intense, especially with the crazy good makeup, so cool!! 😳🤯 all the solos were so haunting and so well done, I especially loved the last verse - there were so many cool harmonies and chords in that. All the low notes went crazyyyy and those high notes were insane too. Amazing job!! 🖤🖤
Never realized a voice could go sooooo low! Flipping amazing!
You all did phenomnal on this song, Loved seeing you guys work this song strictly bass. Tomi I didn't know emo would look so well on you lol, Another W for Bass Gang
Loved listening to this several times. Bobby, I am sorry for your loss and hope justice prevails.
What happened?
I especially liked the dimmed out singers in the background. All and all really great.
Absolutely mind blowing once again. Y'all never disappoint
Holy chills!!!! I cried and not a bad cry. It moved me
Ahh, I love it! I always hear sopranos song this and adore it when basses accompany, so an all-bass version is just the spooky pirate vibes I needed
I love that you actually did the full song!
As a low baritone myself, I love this cover
this is great, i feel like not enough people watch these but i hope you guys keep growing cause this is good.
This cover was absolutely Epic! I loved every second of it! Eerily beautiful and sorrowful at the same time! I cannot wait to see what you fellas release next!
Holy Cow guys! That was SICK!!! My whole head is vibrating! Highly recommend using headphones for this one!
Guysss… you’re killing us in the best way possible with these releases 😭 definitely would be lured in with these silky bass voices, y’all melt me ❤ so talented!! So happy I discovered you guys this year 😊
Wow! I don't know this song but I love it now. That was fabulous, guys. Thanks you and thanks to Miss Nicole.
I am mesmerised! What a masterpiece! Wow. I heard "Jolly Sailor Bold" so many times already and am intrigued. Earphones / headphones strongly recommended. Being familiar with mostly soprano versions of this sea shanty, this is an amazing interpretation. Love the simplicity of the vocals. Love the chords. Love the tempi and vocal colours. Really amazing, what you are doing to make one shiver and get sucked under water. Terrible beauty, truely. The visuals play along and strengthen those creepy feelings. From note one I've got goose bumps.
Kudos to @the.bobbybass, @tomiPVideos, @PeterBarber and @MarwanAyman3 for the amazing vocals and play, Ed Boyer for the high class mixing, Dave Sperandio for mastering and Nicole Waters for the video. Great colaboration and kudos to all the others involved.
and Marwan!
@@georginaphillips8378yes! You are right. Google seems to have swollowed his name. I corrected my comment accordingly. Thank you for pointing it out. Have a nice day Georgiana. 👋🏼
Je vous découvre à l'instant,et je suis subjuguée, j'aime vos voies,et depuis longtemps je n'ai éprouvé autant de ressenti, vous êtes unique et j'adore ce qui sort du déjà vu et entendu, chapeau bas et mille mercis pour ce merveilleux partage, je suis sous le charme 🙏🙏🙏
I flew down to Southern California to visit my in-laws for Thanksgiving week and was feeling a bit too warm. Then I listened to this and got hit with INTENSE CHILLS.
Around 1:45 ish minutes into the song that low note made me jump I’m not sure if it was just Tomi or more of you together for that note. That was the first time I have jumped for a low note lol . How you did that song was amazing. I loved the whole thing 😊
I have so many chills. Amazing as always!
Yepp, definitely my favorit so far. Amazing job!!!
You guys always do amazing versions of any songs you do and as always you guys are the best
Beautiful harmonies in this piece! Excellent!
It's the most perfect song for me now. Thank you❤
This is fantastic, well done guys! I'm going to have this playing on repeat for a while!
I absolutely love the haunting beauty of this song and y’all didn’t disappoint.
Perhaps their best effort to date. Fabulous.
Hell yeahhh prrfect song as every stanza ends on a descent so when it goes couple octaves lower sinks into the abyss
🖤🖤🖤🖤 your voices sound so beautiful!!! This is the best version of this song. Fantastic work!
Wow🤯 Just wow. It is so beautifully haunting and bassy🎶
I love this creepy cover of this song! Great version!😍
geez guys, you made my headset vibrate off my head!!! well done!!
One of my all time favourites! You guys were AMAZING!! Loved it so much! 🤯❤
Ok Peter man man what was that smooth slide into F1 subs wow 2:37
I've been following you for a long time, and I love your work. I've listened to a lot of your music over the last 2 years
This arrangement is incredible.
