Been a while since you uploaded anything, I really hope it just ends at you not feeling inspired and not anything severe. Love your work, Sean, even if you haven't uploaded I still watch your videos and listen to your shanty very often. You've truly left your mark.
It’s not even a shanty AND he’s bald! We’ve been tricked, backstabbed and quite possibly bamboozled! Seriously tho I’m so happy to see this return to Shanty of the Week. Will this be a permanent thing or is it just a one off?
@@SeanDagher please update us! Your voice is incredible! I met you as "that one guy's voice on Black Flag's soundtrack that just grips at the heartstrings." Hope you come back soon!
I've got some confessions to make too: 1. I haven't been here in a while, like a few good months.. Glad to be back, though; 2. This shanty shouldn't be the kind to be called "beautiful", I think, but the dark note it has makes it all the more beautiful to listen to; 3. I dig the shiny look! Let the sun make your head a beacon of greatness and your legendary mustache make you a Baron of Shanties! So it shall be.
Love it! It seems like “Go to sea no more” might be a (later?) variation of this song, don’t you think? In that version, he joins a whaling vessel rather than a navy ship.
@@SeanDagher Well i am happy for you that you get to share your music live with the people and then enjoy a pint of beer. Safe travels through Scotland!
Hello Mr.Dagher i have a request if you still feel like uploading/making anymore these shanties but if you do, would like to see a william taylor cover :)
I love your arrangement - so simple and powerful. Great use of syncopation. Your voice is truly lovely. I am very much enjoying your shanty of the week. Do you ever join in zoom Shanty Sings? There’s one on Saturday out of London
I also have to make a confession, sean. I really like the style of this performance. Just your voice, a nice melody and the banjo. I hope you will post more like this song, with its little melancholic tone.I keep coming back to this video quite frequently (to all your videos, to be honest. Loved the shanty of the week) Hope your doing alright, this Video already is more than 6 months old now.
Sean, your work fills me with inspiration! I've loved the sound of shanties since I was a kid, and you capture their spirit in a genuine way. I recently wrote and recorded one myself, and I'd love a way to send it to you, if for no other reason than to thank you for the guiding light. If you've got 4 minutes to spare, tell me how best to get you my song. Thanks for everything!
Always sing the shanties I learned from you in my work and this has been one of my faves for a long time xD I play a bit of guitar and if you have some tabs for this I would defo learn it
Howdy man new subscriber here and my man let me just give you some mad props, Shallow Brown is one of most beautiful songs I've heard preformed in a video game. You have a voice from the gods.
@@SeanDagher depending on how old he was in black flag, I’m guessing like mid-twenties, he would’ve been about 70 in rogue, and kept his youthful baritone
There's an unfortunate degree of truth to this song. Press gangs were used by the Royal Navy mostly in the 17th and 18th centuries to crew their ships during a period when recruitment did not yield nearly enough men. The gangs literally consisted of groups of armed navy men who roamed waterfront towns, legally forcing men into service by almost any means. While deserters and merchant sailors were the typical targets, the gangs occasionally pressed landsmen into service as well. The lines where the song's narrator asks about the treatment aboard reflect the fear and uncertainty that would probably accompany abduction by a press gang. Once aboard a ship, the "recruits" were indeed subjected to the absolute power of the captain, enforced by disturbingly harsh punishments, including flogging as described in the song. In my experience, impressment in the royal navy tends to be overlooked, both in song and elsewhere, while impressment, and more often shanghaiing, involving merchant ships tend to be recognized more often. Songs like "Liverpool Judies," for example, offer an account of shanghaiing. However, I've not heard many songs that mention impressment in the Navy. Perhaps the lack of songs on the subject reflects the impressed crew members' fear of punishment for singing songs that might have been considered rebellious.
David Gossage, who produced the sessions, chose all of the songs. He would then send us a batch of songs and we would choose which ones we wanted to sing. I always tried to look over the list quickly so as to be able to choose my favourite songs. Dave had to find songs that could be proven to be as old as the time in which the game took place.
When I was younger I always used to listen to you. If you remember me my name was Louis. We’ve met in the comment section a few times. I listened to all of your songs. My only wish is for you to see this comment
"I've been lying to you guys all this time. I'm bald!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Always a treat when Séan posts a video!
Agreed
Aged like wine or milk depending on perspective
Been a while since you uploaded anything, I really hope it just ends at you not feeling inspired and not anything severe.
Love your work, Sean, even if you haven't uploaded I still watch your videos and listen to your shanty very often. You've truly left your mark.
How could you possibly forget a song like that?
If I could sing like that that’s all I’d do

Hi Ben, It'll still be every once in a while. I'm working on a bunch of projects, one of which is secret. More news soon.
@@SeanDagher please update us! Your voice is incredible!

I've missed this man have a good week if your reading this have a good day night and bless

Gabriel, your comment gave me almost as much pleasure as did Sean's song.
Your voice helped me through depression
Please never stop doing these
Bard bellows ballad but bamboozles backers by burrowing baldness. Beautiful!
Bold.
Miss these, Seán! Hope you’re keeping well
Miss your content great music as always
Dont ever stop what youre doing. Youre the best since stan rogers.
cant wait for the shanty of the year tho you're a legend
It is very good
i loveee story song.....
Love it! It seems like “Go to sea no more” might be a (later?) variation of this song, don’t you think? In that version, he joins a whaling vessel rather than a navy ship.
We're waiting here!
My 4 year old was dancing and shouting "shanty wahey" at the top of her lungs during the whole video 😂 sounds like its her favorite shanty
I'm glad she likes it. I love hearing about the children getting into it (and being exuberant.)
We have now gone for more than a year without a Video. We miss you Sean.❤
I miss it too. I’m just really busy performing live. I hope I can get back to it.
@@SeanDagher Well i am happy for you that you get to share your music live with the people and then enjoy a pint of beer. Safe travels through Scotland!
I absolutely love this song from your album!!! It's such a wonderful masterpiece of sorrow and historical combination. I love it!
Thinking about this song this morning!!
I absolutly love your voice, thank you!
This mournful song is strangely soothing, and that banjo is incredibly mellow.
Awesome! Just awesome!
Thanks thanks Gordon Gordon.
Wonderful song, thanks Sean!
Hey Sean, it's been a long time since you last uploaded a video. Do you plan on uploading more shanty videos?
A wonderful rendition of a song I've loved since I heard it on the album with La Nef. Many thanks, Seán.
I can't stop listening to it great work!
Great vibe with the banjo. Love it!
This song will make a fine addition to my collection.
And thanks for adding the type of shanty Sean!
I have been really enjoying this song recently, thank you Sean
Beautiful! Thank you for another masterpiece from a true legend! Merci beaucoup !
Bro we need more music
Ah this has been my favourite for a long time, the banjo really adds to it. Thanks Sean
You have been missed welcome back
Mr Sean sir... Your voice is gold truly. Has helped me through a lot!
Mister Dagher, I do expect my SotW good sir, hope your working on something big. Much love and hope you're doing well.
Absolutely love this! Please keep making your wonderful music. Myself and my friends listen to it daily.
THere's lots more to come. It'll just be every once in a while.
I recently started listening to you on bandcamp and the waves album puts me to sleep very quickly. Thank you for all your relaxing music.
You're welcome. I'm glad you like that album.
really great!
Hello friend! Thank you for all of the wonderful music you've shared over the years. Congratulations on coming out! You''re well chromed!

One of the best parts of one of the best games of all time is your shanties, and seeing you have a YT channel now I instantly sub'd. Love your work!
Standing by Captain. The command deck is yours.
Brilliant rendition! Well done my friend!🌹
Damn i missed you. Thanks for returning fella
Glad to be back.
I wonder how many shanty's and or sailing/factory working songs there realistically are
GOAT ❤️❤️❤️🌊🌊🌊
Hello Mr.Dagher i have a request if you still feel like uploading/making anymore these shanties but if you do, would like to see a william taylor cover :)
Très convainquant Sean. Bravo! Très marin.
Nice.
It's been a year already... :(
I missed this!
magnifique Sean!

For some reason, this gives me 'House of the Rising Sun' vibes. I think it's that banjo part.
Yeah, the 6/8 arpeggio pattern is similar to what they did in that song. Similar tempo as well.
I really like this format "once in a while"! )
I also have to make a confession, sean.
I really like the style of this performance. Just your voice, a nice melody and the banjo. I hope you will post more like this song, with its little melancholic tone.I keep coming back to this video quite frequently (to all your videos, to be honest. Loved the shanty of the week)

Welcome back!
love you bud
Not gonna lie, your voice gives me life... and I'm absolutely _not_ the type to say such things neither lightly nor frequently to anyone, ever.
Happy new haircut, Sean
Love your work in the assassins creed series!
Nice rythem
I had a music teacher who said that that was a dangerous word to spell in public.
Y E S
Good morning
Love it! I have it on CD with Ewan MacColl I think, havn't heard it in a few years probably. Sounds awesome!
Thanks Stabba.

Hi Tim. I'd love to hear your song. You can send me a link ( weTransfer or something) via the Bandcamp page. I look forward to hearing it. Seán.
@@SeanDagher Awesome! I sent you a link via the Bandcamp page! Thanks!
I like you, you look like a real pirate, and I really want to be a pirate
Hey, I wanted to ask. Does “My son John” and “Star of the County Down” have same melody? They sound a bit similar.
That was depressing but beautifully done. Loved the acoustics on it. The three year old was surprised by the quiet nature of the song.
Must be turning 4 soon.
@@SeanDagher Not till autumn. He has mature musical tastes for his age. XD
Sean your voice sounds great, much love from deux-montagnes.
Thanks Deux-Montagnes!
Always sing the shanties I learned from you in my work and this has been one of my faves for a long time xD I play a bit of guitar and if you have some tabs for this I would defo learn it

Thanks HTCS, I'm glad you like it.
You remind me so much of my guitar teacher Gareth, makes this even more comforting somehow
This is the first time I'm actually watching the videos early!
It’s so lucky that your character lived long enough to sail with both Edward’s and Shay’s crew
Well, who would kill a shantyman? How old would that have made him?
@@SeanDagher depending on how old he was in black flag, I’m guessing like mid-twenties, he would’ve been about 70 in rogue, and kept his youthful baritone
An important song for posterity.
Love the song. It gave me goosebumps. So moving and beautifully sung by the cute baldy dude lol
Thanks M. I'm glad you liked it.
Glad I have a glass bottom tankard!🍻
Beautiful as always! Greetings from Russia!
come back sean please

Thanks for that Joe. That's great info!
Is that la rivière des prairies? On the closing theme
It is!! Across from St J de RDP.
@@SeanDagher I actually attend a high school that's right next to it... I could've seen you that day! (If it wasn't during the weekend)
Your voice is perfect for some traditional irish folk songs, would love to hear them from you and maybe some boys with flutes and fiddles.
The tavern songs in AC have just that.
HE'S BALD! MY EYES!
Still waiting for one more day me Johnnie's
It's beautiful. I just discovered your channel thanks to a video about Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
Welcome to the channel!
Forebitter for the win! ❤️ see you soooon!
See you soon!
What's next sean? For bitters of the week? I wouldn't hate it.
I’ve always wondered, did you have any say in the shanties that were featured in assassins creed, or did they give you a list of shanties to sing?
David Gossage, who produced the sessions, chose all of the songs. He would then send us a batch of songs and we would choose which ones we wanted to sing. I always tried to look over the list quickly so as to be able to choose my favourite songs. Dave had to find songs that could be proven to be as old as the time in which the game took place.
Beautiful song! Beautiful bald head! This was a pleasant surprise!
When I was younger I always used to listen to you. If you remember me my name was Louis. We’ve met in the comment section a few times. I listened to all of your songs. My only wish is for you to see this comment
Hi Louis. Thanks for your support. Yes, I do remember you. Have a great day.
When will Sean dagher make another shanty of the week or any new videos
I thought I got unsubscribed but turns out its been a while since you uploaded, hope you're doing well
I understand these are a lot of work but can you do the last shanty by Tom Lewis
Did you worked on assassin's Creed black flag?
Yes I did. With a bunch of other guys, we did AC3, Black Flag, Rogue, and Unity.
I can’t believe he lied to us! Bald!
(Looks good though)
just a high forehead...
