That intro really pushed the boundaries for how much dissonance you can play out before resolving it. The payoff was amazing for it, but WOW it was a test of patience.
This is probably my fav version of it ngl, there's just something so genuine about it. I also really really like their take on the melody, feels way more indie and jam-y
@@benjaminwhitehead4050 It's actually a song about an on shore whaling station, where ships from Weller Bros co. would deliver goods as pay, such as tobacco / clothes / alcohol. Really shitty work, hence why he'll "take his leave and go"
@@benjaminwhitehead4050 There is also a song about a old packet ship that is suprisingly good for being about a mail carrier/packet ship, It's called The Dreadnought.
great to see such positivity and toe tapping joy..bought a tear to my eye and recalling such hard working men away at sea for years, this is their wonderful legacy
I used to live in Portobello, Dunedin, New Zealand just a few kilometres from Wellers Rock where the Weller Brothers set up their business supplying whaling stations around New Zealand. At the time I didn't know this history. I love this song now.
On behalf of my Great Granduncle's, George, and Joseph Weller...WELL DONE, lads!! I'm a trad Celtic musician living in the U.S...and I was hoping some decent band would pick this up! Thank You for keeping my family history alive!
@@Wellingtonseashantysociety AHOY!! BTW? You guys are the ONLY ones doing this song who actually sound any good! All the other bands SUCK! OMG.... Seriously?!! I mean, really? It's a Em,Am, C, F....it's NOT a hard song! They all sound like crap. I wish they put SOME effort into it, like you did. BTW? Where'd your audience go?! You need to redo the song in front of an audience, and fine tune it. I'll be putting up MY rendition soon...keep an eye out! TY
Sea Shanty obsessed and think this is a great Wellerman version! Great intro!! Instant impression on the setting: I got the same vibe from this pub as I did when visiting a pub on the top of a (very steep) hill in Gibraltar back in 2009. Wow, powerful and niche. Lovely!
Damn i just want to spend evenings with my bois in a pub listening to shanties. This is what brings people together and im looking forward to it. Aye mates raise the mug with your voice
I'm so pleased that new people are finding shanty, it's an awesome genre of music, and these guys are amazing. They've got a playlist called Now That's What I Call Sea Shanties Vol. 1 that's really good.
@@Tea_and_Cake Yes I know, but it originally had HMS in the post. Anyway this shanty is really doing the rounds; now where did I put that concertina.......
There once was a ship that put to sea The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh) She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Before the boat had hit the water The whale's tail came up and caught her All hands to the side harpooned and fought her When she dived down below (huh) She had not been two weeks from shore When down on her a right whale bore The captain called all hands and swore He'd take that whale in tow (huh) Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Soon may the Wellerman come To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey) One day, when the tonguin' is done We'll take our leave and go Take our leave and go Take our leave and go
So... A mix of French (?) and British (new Zealander ?) dudes sing an English sea shanty in a random café in Belle Ile. I find the very idea great already.
From one crew to another - we love this! Enjoy the way that you take your time building an atmosphere and are unafraid of seeing where the mood takes you! We do something similar with our take on Schooner I'm alone... ua-cam.com/video/uTK__5OoaPA/v-deo.html Great stuff!
I liked it by the end, but the harmonies are unnecessarily complex for a sea shanty. And the prologue of instrumental dissonance was just weird. I guess they were just tuning up?
Love the way the guy on the left dances he’s feeling the music so hard
So wish I could be watching this in an old pub by the sea...remember the days we could go out for a beer!
Heard a story of the Wellerman shanty craze on the BBC this morning and found my way here. I am smiling!
Likewise
Same
Me too!
Same
Fell in love with shanties playing Black Flag, glad I found this
Same here, that game's soundtrack is just perfection.

dont think it was intentional, looked like they had sound problems, lmao
@@Medsas It's the aural representation of sailing through the tempest...
@@Wellingtonseashantysociety nice, i wasnt sure because both of you had a confused look on your face 😂😂😂
@@Wellingtonseashantysocietythis is my favorite video on UA-cam. Where can I get more?
This is probably my fav version of it ngl, there's just something so genuine about it. I also really really like their take on the melody, feels way more indie and jam-y
This video deserves millions of views...Tiktok brought mr here...and I'm lovin' it 🇧🇩 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I can't stop listening to this These guys inhabit this song and those accordions are just incredible.
the intro on this version is great!
This song is about to blow up
yo this slaps
Yeah a song about a whaling ship has no right to slap this hard

@@pl3bx Yes I know but i'm pretty sure its about a ship from the whaling station
This sh*t bumps
I drank 6 beers before the song ended
Man you’re fast
I drank 2 before it started
Guy on the left drank 6 bevor the band started
Rum*
Yeeehaaaa...During the Intro!!!🤭🤣

No bs there.good job you sea dogs .❤
We'll take our leave and go.. The line is so enchanting...so deep
This is FAR SUPERIOR than the version Nathan Evans put out! Bravo!

@@northcountryhermit5057 What do you think of the sudden craze on this Wellerman song
Great song and great musicianship! Thanks. Fantastic.
Eis aqui um brasileiro aplaudindo de pé e sem palavras pra descrever a beleza e importância histórica nessa canção. Parabéns!
Shouts to skinny Seth Rogan on the banjo. Mad respect dude, keep shredding
Legit that boy bangs.
SKINNY SETH ROGAN!! 🤣🤣
Best modern take on pirate music I've heard, sail on to Taupo boys , im sure youal be booked out. Bloody awesome.
German here, never heard that song before. This is amazing!
The intro to this is almost even better than the song, amazing
I'm here before this songs blows up.
Me too!!
this need to be at my bar soon

I LOVE GIBRALTAR, My uncle was in the Navy over there!
I really enjoyed this. Wish I could see you all play songs in person 🖤
I love this. I just received their CD all the way from New Zealand. It's great.
Great Lord, how great !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Magnifique version merci les amis
Fantastic that Theon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands, making an appearance as stripy lead singer...
I love that one accordion wasn't enough.
Wow this song is really good
Can't get any rougher and more authentic.
The world is so cool out there
Exactly my thoughts
Sugar and Tea and Rum are all pretty dope though, you've got to admit
Applause from Tashkent 👏👏👏
Damn i just want to spend evenings with my bois in a pub listening to shanties. This is what brings people together and im looking forward to it. Aye mates raise the mug with your voice
Amazing well-done you
The Tiktok Wellerman brought me here and I'm lovin' it!!!
sameee

Lol same
Me too!!
me too!
Theon Greyjoy on a Saturday night
He ended up as a drunkard after that shitty last season
Always felt so sorry for Theon Greyjoy
Hahahahahaha 👍
Loved it. Great fun!!
You boys should be living in Portsmouth, Hampshire,UK.
That's a sea city!
On behalf of the Royal Australian Navy and the crew of the HMAS Toowoomba, I thank you for an excellent song. (Edit: made a couple spelling mistakes)
Santiana, the cruel wars, old Maui, you're welcom
HMAS?
@@cheesedoff-with4410 Her Majesty's Australian Ship, HMAS Toowoomba specifically is an Anzac-class frigate.
@@Tea_and_Cake Yes I know, but it originally had HMS in the post. Anyway this shanty is really doing the rounds; now where did I put that concertina.......
Wow! Amazing one!
feckin brilliant
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
When she dived down below (huh)
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum (hey)
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
Take our leave and go
OHAAA
Love the intro boys!
Before it was cool. Beautiful
This is so pog
REMEBER me when this song becomes famous
为什么他们那么快乐？那么享受那一切？
why they so happy ,and enjoin it？
This is incredible 😍
now i want to sail.
The waves of tiktok brought me here ! now I am searching for the rum...
That was fucking amazing. Amen
Lovin this!
Hate how the cameraperson moves and zooms in all erratically, but good song.
rhum
Okay this is 🔥🔥🔥
Guys sing this before it comes trends
What shall we do with the drunken camera man?
That's how it's done
SEASQUATCH APPROVED!!!!!
I found one of my New favs song styles-
to all the tiktok people: stay and look around theirs plenty of other shanties
They can't read.
drunken sailor, fish in the sea, lowlands away, where am i to go m'johnnies, leave her johny and padstow farewell to name a few
Honestly, I'm simply not done with this one.
thank you, will do ! would have me a glass of whisky too, while listening 😉 !
Just youtube assasins creeds black flag sea shanty's
Steve n seagulls clean up nicely, dont they?
More pubs should do sing-along evenings.
Bravo Bravo 👏
I wasn't a pirate before watching this but now I have a peg leg and a gold hoop earring all the sudden
Gotta let u know it's not a pirate song
Well done boys
jezz this is amazing
Am I the only one the sees these fellows are high as a kite? A little blow in the wind...high as a kite. Tweekin on a weekend.
@somebitchiknow brought me here .... you fellas are amazing.
1:32 where the song starts
The captain’s guitar is held together by yellow tape, coconut husks and rum
Лучшее,что я видел!
Fantastic..these lads r so opposite but the music is aboslutley...goin off!
Theon Greyjoy on vocals
The tiktok Wellerman brought me here too. Marvelous people
Tik Tok brought me here, but this is the best version I’ve heard yet 😍
I just want to know where this bar is-
Wellington, New Zealand
Le Palais, Belle Isle, off the Brittany coast in France.
The dissonance in the beggining is kind of unsettling. Pretty cool.
So... A mix of French (?) and British (new Zealander ?) dudes sing an English sea shanty in a random café in Belle Ile. I find the very idea great already.
This is as British as it gets!
No not Irish. Mostly British phenomenon although this shanty is believed to have originated from New Zealand.
@@Kaiserbill99 I see. Thanks for the info!

Boss that
Much happier version
Thank you.
Je suis le seul français ou quoi ??
When does it fucking start? Jesus.
I thought the guy on the left was Theron Greyjoy at first
This version is great
Tik Tok brought me here, the music kept me here. 👍👍
Not too keen on this version, kinda doesn't have the same charm as other versions I heard. It doesn't feel like you could join in any momment
It's a performance... Enjoy being the audience and join in on the chorus... Or make your own on tiktok
@@heatherfrench3898 Not a tiktok guy, more of a shower singer. But will keep that in mind
I liked it by the end, but the harmonies are unnecessarily complex for a sea shanty. And the prologue of instrumental dissonance was just weird. I guess they were just tuning up?
tobi brought me here
So I guess the guy leaning on the bar is just gonna sing... Oh, not JUST sing...
Should have gone on tiktok
