    You know it’s a good band when the studio and live recordings have very little differentiation. Really shows how well a trained voice can be accustomed to a sound and can adjust it to any surrounding.

      @@thelongestjohns I'm also in awe of anyone who can get audio technology to function well, and I'm constantly impressed with how great the regular live streams in the studio sound. So it's clearly both a talent with the music as well as some magic touch with mics and stream elements/OBS and whatnot, as well.

    True story: My boss was making fun of my coveralls the other day. I told my boss when he is doing my job, he can do it however he wants. I choose to wear coveralls and sing sea songs all day. He just laughed. I don't think he believes me.

    I'm so glad there's finally a version of this song with a comments section so I can ask what the fuck it is about.
    I mean yes, sea battle, Sons of Liberty, I did figure that bit out, my US public school didn't completely fail me, but is there some specific history with Nantucket? Is Mr. Starbuck an actual dude? I must know! History nerds of UA-cam, save me from my ignorance (please, if you want, no pressure).

    • @StealerOfCandy
      @StealerOfCandy 2 роки тому +7

      I'm not 100% on Mr. Starbuck, but I do know Nantucket was known as a whaling town at the time this song takes place and there are several references to whaling in the lyrics.
      A "Nantucket sleighride" is what happens when a whale is harpooned, and it begins to drag the boat behind it as it swims. Also the "alarm" referred to here, on a whaling vessel, meant that prey had been spotted and the chase was on! But on a warship, it meant that enemy vessels had been sighted and the men needed to take their positions at the cannons ("long nines").
      "Shot handlers" were young lads who ran down to the hold to get cannonballs and powder and the like, and ran it back up to the deck to hand off to the gunners.
      That's all I can think of right now, so if anyone has more, please help us out!

      Mr. Starbuck is a real person! The Starbucks were a whaling family that lived in Nantucket from the 17th to 19th century. The song is specifically about Matthew Starbuck who served with John Paul Jones during the revolutionary war. There's a lot more information I can't remember, but I hope that satisfies some of your curiosity!

    Lyrics :
    I come from an island, an islander's ways
    Breakers and Quakers and few of us stray
    Hunting the oceans with men that won't tire
    Nantucket sleigh rides and chimneys afire
    Some may be wary and won't understand
    Trading a spear for a flag in the hand
    A jetsam that rides 'pon some shipping out east
    Out to go hunting a different beast
    Fire flies from the long nines
    Shot-handlers run about
    The captain says we'll holler
    As though there was some doubt
    And as we blow on the matches
    And brace to take the shock
    My mind is in Nantucket
    Hauling whale meat into dock
    I'm not used to bracing in weather so calm
    Still making cheer when I hear the alarm
    As iron and fire knock nails from the stern
    The shores are no longer my biggest concern
    Our skipper is canny, a droll kind of soul
    He never sulked and he's still cracking jokes
    Ah, Mr Starbuck, your aim is quite rare
    Well, I aim to sink her beyond disrepair
    Fire flies from the long nines
    Shot-handlers run about
    The captain says we'll holler
    As though there was some doubt
    And as we blow on the matches
    And brace to take the shock
    My mind is in Nantucket
    Hauling whale meat into dock
    History favours the bold and the brave
    Conquer the mountains and weather the waves
    Now I'm away with all liberty's sons
    Off down the channel to stand by the guns
    Fire flies from the long nines
    Shot-handlers run about
    The captain says we'll holler
    As though there was some doubt
    And as we blow on the matches
    And brace to take the shock
    My mind is in Nantucket
    Hauling whale meat into dock
    Fire flies from the long nines
    Shot-handlers run about
    The captain says we'll holler
    As though there was some doubt
    And as we blow on the matches
    And brace to take the shock
    My mind is in Nantucket
    Hauling whale meat into dock

      I believe it’s “hull her”, not “holler”. As in, firing cannonballs into the ship’s hull to sink it.
