We had the pleasure to spend some time on board of De Gallant when it stopped over in Bristol. This wonderful sailing ship delivers cargo under sail all around the world and the crew were kind enough to invite us on board.
This wonderful song has become very special to us as a fond farewell to friends and fans at shows and live streams, marking the beautiful uniqueness of every group we get to sing it with and for.

Gonna use this at the end of my DnD campaign when all the characters are gathered together after their journey
Sounds perfect
I WILL DO THE EXACT SAME THING
I'm in a pirate dnd right now, and y e s.
(Also when the rest of them are playing sea of thieves, I always spam the discord music player bot with TLJ, this usually makes an appearance at the end of the session)
That's beautiful
I was thinking the exact same thing
i would like to add thath i see fire and goodbeye from the hobbit are also really good
A good buddy of mine recently passed away at only 25 years old. He was a player in our DnD group as well as an occasional DM. I was brought to tears by the line that "we may or might never all meet here again" which reminded me that I had no idea that the last DnD session we played was the last one we ever would with him. Value your friends. You never know how much longer you have them. Rest in peace Dalton, aka Ronny Stools the Noble
Raise a tankard in memory of Dalton, filled our hearts even if we never met him.
Hey man I wish you good health and may your friend rest in peace. May Ronny Stools the Noble become legend within your games forever.
@@rosewilliamson8626 Hear Hear! One more round in the good memory of Dalton!
Here's to Dalton, I'll raise a glass for friendship! May he rest in peace.
I have a similar memory. Last year one of my players passed, shortly after his character was felled in an ambush. He died of liver failure. Rest in peace Sunny, AKA Sention the warforged monk.
I swear the longest johns are just a Party of bards
Everyone gets an extra d6 at all times
@@thelongestjohns You guys can't be that low-level! Those must be d8s at least
they got transported from the D&D world and were just like "eh, fuck it. We can make it work here."
I see no dragon's to be Lain
Edit: get it because The Stereotype of bards is there horny all the time
goodness me, on one hand I like their music.
And on the other hand bards have caused me so much peril in my existence.
If this isn’t played at my funeral I’m not coming
Hahaha
Same here! 😤 Thanks for the idea
Either this or Fiddler's Green by Marley's Ghost.
Damn it you beat me to it.
🤣🤣🍻
A friend of mine recently passed because of covid. he was known for singing shantys at conventions.
in honor of his memory, I and my friend tom are singing this song at the first convention when covid is over.
So thank you for this, Longest John's.
Your friend will be singing alongside you from up high. You’ll make him proud ❤️
he will be the with you along the journey of the shanties that will come
I want to make kriegsman joke but i wont...R.I.P to your friend...now he sings in heaven to his comrades that passed away.
Heres a health to you and yours friend.
I'm six months late but i wish your friend peace. so hears a health to you and him
Lyrics for anyone who wants them
Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Come lift up your voices all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again
Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well
For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
There's no man in this wide world as happy as me
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again
Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing, without any shock
If ever I should meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again
Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again
👏
Thanks👏🏼
:)
Thank you so much
Thank you kind stranger
Listening to this song after midnight unlocks secret emotions including but not limited to:
-sadness beta
-nautical longing
-dave robinson
This comment is criminally underrated, Good job dude
Especially when staring at a rough ocean on the last day of holiday. Not sure what these emotions are but they sure are a lot
@@knightstemplar9740 you, you get it
I shall soon quench my nautical longing, but the other feelings shall remain
Did the full version of sadness ever get released or are we still in beta?
Play AC Black flag > enjoy sea shanties > find the AC sea shanties edition > discover David Coffin > discover the dreadnoughts > discover a cover from the Longest Johns > find all their songs > Be amazed by an upcoming new album > love every song > play every song > sing every song for miles in the car
That’s how I fell in love with you guys.
Kind regards from France
David Coffin is pretty awesome, I went through some of his stuff on the way to the Longest Johns as well, I love his Haul Away Joe
Vive la France!
Literally me, without David Coffin.
@@edoardoghinatti541 You're missing out
@@edoardoghinatti541 ua-cam.com/video/49FWp7WLYKw/v-deo.html First David Coffin song I heard ;)
I'm late to the ship, but I'm really glad to hear that you've covered my all-time favourite song. Beautiful rendition :)
Wasn't expecting to see you here!
@@stramashbeatbox2798 It's a small world, so they say!
Thank you so much, really appreciate it :)
One of my favorites along with ashes
"Late to the ship"
*I see what you did there,you think you're slick*
Nobody in the world can change my mind, The Longest Johns is one of the greatest bands in the world. (FACT)
That's incredibly kind of you to say! Thank you :)
I second this, they’re incredible.
Nobody should even try to change your mind
This comment has been fact checked and is true.
Agreed 100%
To the people that have powered through quarantine, here's a health to all of you, and thank you, The Longest Johns, for helping us through it
*raises glass*
@@thelongestjohns *raises second glass* Everyone else, can we start a chain?
@@jenkinsfamily2229 *raises third glass*
also raises glass
*raises fifth glass*
i imagine a bunch of bros chilling around a campfire in the woods singing this
Or a bunch of fishermen or merchants going their separate ways and having one last drink at the local bar
Absolutely! There's a ton of meaning a feeling behind the song
Oddly fitting for nowadays. Here's a health for all the friends and family we can't see right now, but be merry for we will see each other again someday.
Maybe share a bottle with different glasses, though. Not drinking out of one glass right now
If i gathered with friends right now they would be the ones I would share one glass with.
I believe we will see each other again. All of our friends. Whether in this world or the next. I rise my glass to drink to the health of my friends still here and to the memory of those gone before. I hope they will keep a place at their table for me for when I get there.
Was thinking the same thing...
i lost all mine and i remember all the good times i have and all that i lost. i take that with pride
someday mate someday
I've been working at the bristol ren fair for 8 years. This season would have made 9, but due to covid we missed out on this season. This song is sang by crew and cast at the closing day every season so it is very special to me. Here's to next season!
Here's to the next season indeed! Many blessings to you and the team
I was planning on working Bristol as well, this year. Funny how I found you.
Huzza! and hello to a fellow rennie from one whose time at Bristol was the best of my life. This song carries SO MUCH sweet and sad memories, especially the last time this is sung in the season....
I can’t say there’s a single song you guys have done that I didn’t like but this is definitely one of my favorites.
That's amazing to hear, thank you!
I'm on board with every part of this statement
Seconded!
Agreed
couldn't agree more!
just having this premier open as a tab somehow made a boring school day better, thanks for the good vibes :)
It's our pleasure!
Always does man always does
*Raises Longest Johns Tankard to be merry*
*raises tankard in return*
*Also raises tanker*
Raises a tankard but late
Raises tankard in late
Raises a tankard in even later
If I drank a glass to all the people that I lost in the Mekong Delta five plus decades ago my liver would not survive. Instead I will have a drink to my love over the same five decades that died last year.
Here's to the health of all of you. Life is just too damn short.
This past June I graduated high school in a virtual ceremony. I never got the chance to say goodbye to a lot of the people I'd formed relationships with over those 4 years. I often fantasize about getting that opportunity, that chance to celebrate with the people who made my experience special. This is the song that's always playing in my head when I do. Fantastic job, gents. Here's a Health to you.
That sounds awful, makes me thankful that I still have about 2 years with my classmates.
Virtual ceremony? Well when this is over buy a few casks, hire a field and a set of graduation caps. Then send out a blanket email. Might just be the best night of your life. Just a thought :)
THE FEELING THAT THIS SONGS GIVES YOU OMFG. Like it's a group of adventurers all huddled up after their adventure, some have lost lives, limbs, and friends. One of them picks up a guitar and starts playing. One solemnly sings. Then, the rest join in.
When this song was performed with natalie holmes, absolute gold! You guys have got to work with her more she just fits the sound so perfectly
She is fantastic!
enrj bbx Really?! Could you pass me a link to the performance?
ua-cam.com/video/M0wc0lu2v0g/v-deo.html
Never even questioned the fact that they were on a boat till I read the description, it just seemed like the natural place for them to be
I love this. There is nothing more I can say that has not been said and I'm not about to invent new words
Many thanks! And thank you for the kind comment :)
i originally thought this song was going to be like the barley mow but i am very pleasantly surprised!
Here’s a Health to the longest Johns. May they continue to be the best shanty singer’s for the ages!
I have been listening to this song in loop for the last three days. And, at last, I know it by heart! I think I'm going to sing it as a farewell to my friends at the end of our Christmas party. What do you think?
First heard this song on Assassins Creed Black Flag. I liked it enough to learn it on guitar 😁
It's a cracking song
I got a guitar a few years ago and barely used it, so maybe i will
@@hotcrossbuns6585 you can find the chords for it on ultimate guitar.com. It’s actually pretty easy.
In future centuries, I can imagine groups of hardened spacers sitting around in an orbital starport bar singing just like this. I used to feel like I would miss out on that, but today we're blessed to have the Longest Johns bringing songs like this alive for all of us to share. Thank you so much!
Ah oof I'll be mid exam when this kicks off. Ah well it'll still be here afterwards and I can chill out and listen. Absolute banger of a song
It's definitely one of my favourites! Hope you enjoy the video!
Wandered down the You Tube rabbit hole and found this.Tears filled my eyes as my late wife came and sat with me for awhile. Powerful thing music
I’m sorry for your loss but glad that the music comforted you. On a lot of days, music is what gets me through.
This song has been getting me through quarantine. So excited for the premiere!
Ditto.
It's got a very special place in my heart
@@thelongestjohns Who's heart exactly? I'm guessing Dave but I could definitely be wrong XD
TLJ is the only group i can confidently say that i like damn near every song from
Sums up this year pretty well but as I think ive said before really hits a bit to home for me
Its my last year in high-school and I'm looking at alot of colleges out of state with wildly diffrent plans then a lot of my friends, which will put me far away from my current company.
Its gonna make for one heck of a graduation gathering song for one last time as I set my own ship to sail away from home
Hope it all works out for you! Many blessings
Love this song. So bittersweet at the moment.
It is, such a beautiful sentiment every time
There should be an auto-replay feature just because of this song.
@Jamie Klassen This, right-click on the video and select Loop from the context menu on PC, or for phone, the best way atm is putting it into a playlist by itself and looping that.
Come September, it'll be eight years since I lost one of my best girl friends, who was an Age of Sail history nut-- we had our own in-joke pirate crew, where she was the captain. At the funeral, we posthumously promoted her to admiral, leaving our other girl friend as captain and myself as first mate/navigator. This song and George's Glass by Skinny Lister are the two songs I remember her most by-- and was thrilled when the Johns and the Skinnys toured together. Every year I raise a glass to our old captain, knowing we'll meet again, even if it's only our hearts that know it.
An excellent video for an excellently executed classic. Glad I could take part in the premiere.
A pleasure to have you here! Thank you
God DAMN these folks are too good for this world...
One of my all-time favorites, especially with your wonderful performances. Can't wait for the premiere! Here's a health to you lads.
Here's a health indeed! Hope you like the video
aBSOLUTELY STUPENDOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cheers, johns. you truly know how to help people with your music. very enchanting
It's great to hear that it helps people, thank you :)
This is definitely one of my favorites! Thanks for the fancy video release.
It's our pleasure, thank you for being here
I feel like they came from the past to gift is there amazing voice
*Happiness noise* I've been hoping for this one!
Heres a health to the waiting room, and one to UA-cam
Let us wait and be merry all out of one app
I like it!
Let us wait and be merry, all spam to refrain
For it may or might never be premiered again
Oh, to be able to sit in the same room as people again, let alone drink from the same glass. Beautiful as always TLJ.
The longest johns=best band
That's very kind of you, thank you for being here :)
@@thelongestjohns np i wouldn't dare miss it :)
Thank you, kind gents!
My 23 year old cousin was found dead today. Waiting on Autopsy.....They think he may have been killed...
I watched him grow from a tiny lil squirmer into a fine young man. I'll miss him for the rest of my days...
RIP to that person
Seems a song fitting for these days we bare through. 🙏 "for we may or might never, all meet here again" - every pub goer.
This song almost made me sing out loud in class
Here we go, another great song!
It's a pretty special one to be sure!
Great setting for this lovely song which makes me feel sad at the moment remembering when our whole family were together last Christmas. Now half our family will soon be on the other side of the world & it's going to be a long time till we are all together again. :(
Love and hugs!
@@thelongestjohns Love & hugs right back. XX
What a great night that was, the best way to drink up the Xisto Wines before Gallant sailed on the next morning’s tide. Lots of love for The Longest John’s
Hyped!
Hype Hype!!
The encore you did in Michigan will be something I will never forget.
the two dislikes are from people who hate drinking and being merry
nah, they were so drunk that they missed the like button
Can confirm that a dislike of "demon rum" alone still results in a "like". So perhaps it must be both as you suggest.
out of the 51,570 views... there are only 3 dislikes, and 4.6 likes. safe to say this is one of my favorite songs
@@friedlemons5201 lol surprisingly this happens. I have a small scale youtube channel (about 23ksubscribers) and I sent my subscribers a message out of curiosity to find out what made them dislike a video....mine or any other. I legit had several people say that they accidentally clicked the wrong thumb and didn't realize they could CHANGE it after that. lol
It's amazing guys , u r terrific band🔥🔥🔥 from Ukraine with love
When i listen to this song, i feel a loss which i never had before. The grief of losing something that i didn’t even experience. The feeling of getting to the last chapter of a book. The ship has sailed.
I can’t help but sing along
All the lads will be seeing this!
Hooray!
Excellent, as always! A favorite to be sure!
Thank you! It's a really special song
Listened to this endlessly, very excited for a video!
Much appreciated! Hope you like it
brilliant! now to try and find how to play it on guitar by watching this 60 million times lol
As a first hint, it's in DADGAD tuning
@@thelongestjohns that's a good place to start 😂
For me this is a song about not taking life for granted, about focusing on things most important.
Top Notch. Love the version of the song!
Sang this song with my friends last Friday. Hope I see them soon.
YEAH BABY!!!
Health to the Company has been on my playlist for months, thank God I caught this premiere
You did it! Hope you enjoyed the video
I'm longing for sitting together with a bunch of friends and playing this. wow!
The vibe of this song is perfect for hanging with friends. The way the Longest Johns sing this classic is rich and wonderful.
I wish I had found this song before I got married in 2018. I'd have sang it at the reception. Oh well, it's one of my all time favorites now. Skål!
Wow, having heard the original release, seeing you guys perform it really solidifies this as my favorite rendition of this song ever.
Amazing job.
Thank you so much, glad you like it
The newest album is probably my favorite, and honestly, this is probably my favorite song off of it. Very happy to see it get a video.
I would love to see a tutorial, much like what you guys did for Oak and Ash and Thorn with the guitar, for this song. This has always been one of my favorite songs. From the assassins creed version to your version, it’s always been a great song.
This never fails to move to, to song at the very least.
One of those songs I love to listen to so much. One of those for me at least that brings both a sense of sadness but also some joy
Many blessings to you
Went out drinking with some friends and we started singing this. By the third verse we had most of the bar singing
Y'all are the most consistently WONDERFUL band I follow, keep being great folks!
One of my favorites!
Listening to this thinking of all my friends from high school and college and how we’ve all changed and moved on, how my parents and all the adults of my youth are now old, my grandpa who has been gone close to 20 years now and all the people I called friend whom I’ll never meet with on this Earth again. Cheers to you all and thank you for being a part of my life.
“Let us drink and be merry, all out of one glass...” Ah, the before times. CHEERS!
One of my favourite Longest Johns covers
Good job guys!
Thank you!! :)
Would not recommend drinking all out of one glass in 2020, but would recommend listening to this song.
I was just thinking we need a music video for this! In fact we need a video for everything but this is a good start ! ❤️
We're getting there steadily :)
What a joy, thanks very much, lads.
It's our pleasure! Thank you for being here
Besides that you guys just sing awesome, with so much passion, this song made me do something I didn't do for a long time: It made me sing, loud, false and merrily. Here's a health to the company, and one for you lads ;)
I sing this song with my crew mate when my ship will scraped in chittagong. She is lovely ship bring lot good memories for me and the crew
This is one of my favorites from the album, thanks guys, we all appreciate you.
It's one of mine too. Thanks for your lovely comment :)
anytime
I love this version. I used to bepart of the cast of the Bristol ren faire in the US back around 2005 for a few years ane remember this song well.
Storytime, this past September was my 21st birthday and for years I dreamed of singing this at the closing ceremony at the Michigan Renaissance Festival with the rest of the tavern for my first drink. Alas with everything closed including the festival I resorted to singing along with your album on my birthday with a drink, which was in my opinion just as fun and momentous. Thank you lads for including this song on the album.
gonna play this at the end of the year of school
This song is brotherhood in a bottle, I swear. Good job Johns!
Great song. It’s so beautiful
This was actually the song that introduced my to you guys. I am so glad it finally has a music video. Here's a health to you lovely bunch.
Here's a health to you too! Thanks for being here :)
@@thelongestjohns You are welcome!
The song of warriors after coming home from battle. Or mighty sailors come from the harsh seas of the North.
Man, I really do feel like their *Stringy Planky* skills have improved over the past few years.
I just wanna say how much i love your music and i hope i can see you guys live one day.
While there are many beautiful songs, this is one of the few that truly brings out emotions, it hits weirdly close to me
Ah yes, I've been trying to find music to play Atlas to. Here I just found my most favorite band now.
