I was at their concert yesterday, near where I live, and whilst it was my only my first proper concert, I was surprised with how hospitable they were! Somehow, I've always found it so hard to digest the fact that popular bands like these consist of actual, funny and interesting people!
You guys have always been years ahead. I'm still here regardless of trends. I hope you get what you deserve! I've been with you since 2016. You guys set the standard for sea shanties in my opinion!
that would be quite interesting... the most notorious pirate in modern fiction crossed with a sea shanty from the 1800s. I mean, I guess we'll just have to wait till the tonguing' is done!
I have been into sea songs and chanties for years now, but i like how these guys bring old fashioned harmony and a capella style to table. Im a sucker for great harmony, you don't see it often enough any more.
Just wanted to say thank you to you guys for everything you do. As someone who hasn't been able to sing with anyone else for a long while now due to the pandemic, it warms my soul to see you guys singing your hearts out and having such fun while doing it! Very glad to have discovered your music recently, been sharing it with a bunch of my choir nerd friends. Missed the boat on the Wellerman Community Project submissions, but hoping to hop on for the next one! Best of luck getting to 1 million subs!
Just a few years ago, you all were singing shanties to various video games. Now look at you! Camera crew, drone footage, props, a private boat to film a professional-grade music video in! So happy and proud of how far you guys've come! You deserve it!
"Uh oh, we've got a hit song on our hands, everybody wants a video, but the song is about stabbing whales to death... sooo, snakes and ladders on a ship?"
These guys put so much work into their videos it’s unbelievable, this looks a million times better than anything some billionaire pop star could produce
I'm originally from the east (DC/MD/VA). Moved to Idaho 12 yrs. ago and we don't have bands like you that tour out here (except for Young Dubliners after many postponements during COVID--not their fault). We loved Scythian and Enter the Haggis live at Birchmere in Alexandria (and Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA) also groups like Schooner Fare. OK that really dates me! Point is, my husband and I love that you continue this genre of music and we appreciate that you play live venues. Bravo!

I wish I'd found this sooner, but thank you so much for making this. This song is helping us all through some very hard times. I'll raise my cup of tea and sugar and shot of rum to you, because you are our Wellermen! And it is time for us all to take our leave and go.
Привет из России! От Русского моряка, отличная песня, всегда её слушаю. Мы моряки знаем, что нет плохих национальностей а есть плохие люди! Всех люблю! Всем удачи! От всей души из России! ❤
Beautiful voices, harmonies, great songs, great musicians. You all fit so well together. Love the videos too, and the humor - just right. Powerful stuff.
The fact that they are singing this rough n' tough sea shanty while the guys in the background are just casually playing shoots and ladders is absolutely hilarious 🤣
I've been reading a bit, and we have a record of a Stan Hugill who was known for writing songs like these. He remarked that Mobile Bay (Alabama) was a sort of 'shanty-mart', where sailors were known to trade songs they had heard or written. There honestly was likely hundreds of these songs, from all manner of workers and travellers.
Maybe because the Wellerman has been so incredibly overdone in the last months due to that abomination of an app called TikTok. I don't know why the Longest John's deserve dislieks for that, but that'd be my guess. I too can't stand this goddamn song anymore, but this version is beautiful, unlike the cancerous techno remix that's constantly on the radio nowadays
OhFrack Nothing to do with gatekeeping. Just for goodness’ sake, pick a different song. There are hundreds of shanties, why do we have to go over and over and over and over with the same goddamn wellerman?
@@BoarhideGaming Actually, its because YT automatically adds a very small portion of likes to dislikes (something like .5-1%)... I guess its to make it hard to determine the effectiveness of bots?
