Man the entire mission at Edward's mission in Syndicate made me depressed. Reading the documents and learning everything that happened to the poor sod, AFTER all the shit he went through and all the people he lost in Black Flag. The man never caught a damn break up until the day he was killed.
Because this shanty is so relatable to him. It's about a saikor who found out that the love of his life died whilst he was sailing at sea. Just like Edward found out his wife died when he was still out there pirating.
I have a theory about this particular song being used by Kenway in his mansion. My theory is he used that particular song in memory of his wife Caroline after he found out she had died while he was away. The reason I think this is because in almost all cutscenes involving Caroline she was dressed in white.
This was the times when I would shuffle the shanties (play the shanty then stop it, then play it again) until i hear Lowlands Away. Damn those were the days
I never forget the moment that I heard this song for the very first time in the game... It hit me right in the feels and suddenly I was feeling the winds and smelling the sea. For that feeling alone this game has a special place in my heart.
That's true, I do actually prefer the immersion that's offered by the 1-less-than-Travel speed. However, a) it's slower, and if your goal is travel, faster is obviously better, and b) it's much easier to avoid things with the distant view that's offered by Travel Speed - and thus, easier to make a recording. ;)
+Lou the Lou I know it's for gameplay purposes, but the Jackdaw in full sail (1 less than travel speed) is ridiculously fast for a brig of her size. And yes, I know this thread is a year old... lol.
I played this game when I had just started PC gaming I don't even understand English that good at that time but after all these years it still remains in my brain I will never forget it
one of the best, most relaxing, nostalgia inducing videos on the internet. if i were to pick an video for someone in need of joy and happiness, it would be this
Man this game. The feels. So much happiness when I was playing this game. Was young and had no problems back then. The shanty making me even more sad and nostalgic. Nothing will compare to the feeling when I was playing this game for the first time. Good times
@@marvynwilliamson9796 there may be an age gap between us but something as strong as a good game with good memories can bond us all together. Especially the nostalgic feel of the past. Nothing compares to it.
Just wonderful. When I first started playing Black Flag, I had no idea there would be shanties. When the crew struck up with this I was overwhelmed and overjoyed. What a brilliant game.
i love it! like the voice cracks and the imperfection of the singing is what makes it perfect. it looks like they just picked up random guys in the street and payed them to sing.
Ahh this game... my favourite game of all time. This video makes me feel so sad for some reason I guess it’s the memories, sailing the open seas with these beautiful sea shanties and playing this beautiful game.. good times. The memories are beautiful when u make then but the feeling when u think about them is just so sad. Everything about this game is just beautiful and perfect.
I loved this game. When this came out i was 21 and had my first apartment with my girlfriend. She worked night-shifts and i would play this for hours. Time stops for no man. Sweet memories.

I have no idea what happened with that game. Even with all the greed they should have made a decent game, but somehow they didn't. Like how?? With that amount of time?
Steering the Jackdaw while listening this is fun and joy, but taking a moment to understand the lyrics can.......can't find the words. Here's a shot to Edward Kenway 🍹
Simply the best game in the franchise and one of the best soundtracks in games, this was Ubisoft's golden age, unfortunately greed went to the company's head, times that never come back. F 😢
I think it just adds more to the feel of it. Feels like they're singing it with as raw emotions as possible, as loud as they can, until their voice cracks.
I swear they sing a different version than the one the game tells us. I'm looking at the in-game lyrics in the game right now and it does not match up at all except the lowlands away part
So cool that Edward used this for his piano password in syndicate when they explore his house
I agree
I cried when I heard it first time
@@matthewtorres8860 I did too lol 7th grade memories

Whenever this shanty came on and I was about to reach my destination, I would always sail back out to sea and wait for it to finish.
Aliensinnoh bruh same 😂😂
A comment I can relate to 😂😂😂
Same
Relatable :)

H?mmmmmmm
And in the lyrics is indeed portrayed that the sailor's girlfriend is dead
😪currently replaying it this is so sad
One of the greatest moments in gaming history.
R u still here?
@@Thomas-00-00 maybe
@@burrito8600 are u still here? :)
so glad someone else felt this particular moment needed attention
Read My mind!
Time does take away everything we hold dear.
Very true that’s why its important to enjoy what we have while its here
I’ve been mumbling this shanty for the last 5 years and didn’t know where it was from. I’ve finally found it
You never played the game
This was the times when I would shuffle the shanties (play the shanty then stop it, then play it again) until i hear Lowlands Away. Damn those were the days
You know they did a good job making the traveling entertaining when you just sail around because it's so awesome
God... so sad and beautiful... that's my favorite pirate's song in the whole game.
The best moment when the pirat yells "Lowlands away" after you hit the W...
makes me feel so nostalgic :( it's killing me
i’m listening to it now imagine
I never forget the moment that I heard this song for the very first time in the game... It hit me right in the feels and suddenly I was feeling the winds and smelling the sea. For that feeling alone this game has a special place in my heart.
This song is awesome... But I like it more without the fast-travel thing. Since you get more sea sounds and the crew movements..
Yeah I never use Fast Travel or Travel Speed on Black Flag

My favourite shanty.
Feels like I just played the game.
O wait, I did.
Moments like this for me were the best part about this game the waves and the crew sing along always felt like I was on the deck
This is by far the best version available of this shanty even in 2024. The background sound changes it entirely , it's perfect.
the song sounds good at night and when the waves are calm

Man. This makes me so sad. No one will know the times like us. I miss it every day. Lowlands away stranger 😔
I was 38 when I played this and I had many problems at that time but this game gave the escape I needed. Gamer forever.

Yeah this is my favourite game of all time the feeling when I think about this game again is just so sad. The memories are too beautiful and too sad.
@@krizify2025 yeah ikr I’m glad there are others who feel the same
I come here on yearly basis to get that Nostalgia Shot.
I played this game one summer and it was such an experience
This brings back great memories ❤
I'm crying in the club right now, nice upload.
This was not in your recommendation, you searched for it
Just wonderful. When I first started playing Black Flag, I had no idea there would be shanties. When the crew struck up with this I was overwhelmed and overjoyed. What a brilliant game.
Im starting to have nostalgia for all the games i used to play and this is by far one of the best memories i had of this game was perfect!
This is the greatest game ever created.
i love it! like the voice cracks and the imperfection of the singing is what makes it perfect. it looks like they just picked up random guys in the street and payed them to sing.
Thanks to this video, I rebought the game. Worth more than what I paid for honestly. This is more than a game. It’s an unforgettable experience
Assassins creed blag flag is amazing
I prefer Assasins Creed: Black Flag
The Great King of Evil Ganondorf Strange, I prefer Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
Tejas Kulkarni Touché
Collin Nazareth yeah that’s a great game too

Played assassins creed syndicate and this hit me in the feels when you played this in kenways mansion
"video games appeal to male fantasy." just sailing the seas with crewmate and friends you can trust. enjoying the sea breezes.
I really love this shanty. Definitely my favorite ♡
God I miss this amazing game
It's been long time for ac black flag this is pure gold

this i by far my favorite assassins creed game *BY FAR*
I dreamed a dream the other night I was edwaaaaard Edward kenwaaaayyyy, I sailed awaaaaaay for better thiiiiiings Eeeeedwaaaard Kenwaaaaaay.
Obliterating a spanish Gunboat with your crew singing this is amazing.
I could sail for hours while listening to this!!!
Same buddy, same
I proud playing this on speakers and just sing along!
Damn I actually cried, this song is super nostalgic
Before San Andreas radiostations, there existed sea shanties. Same strength pulls the sails back out to sea. The mission can wait.
Here in 2020, brings back the same memories.
Shit i thought only me who loves this shanties
Im not alone
Oh watch on deck, oh watch ahoy
Lowlands away :'(
that’s a bop when they sing that on the ship
I always come back to this video to appreciate the masterpiece that ubisoft released... Good times
Ubisoft spending almost a decade on Skull and Bones when they had the formula right here.
I have no idea what happened with that game. Even with all the greed they should have made a decent game, but somehow they didn't. Like how?? With that amount of time?
Um dos melhores que já joguei!!Esse ambiente, essas canções!Nossa que jogo foda,melhor franquia que já fizeram

Stunning. Thanks for this.
Good job man, love how ya afded in sea affects in the game, love the shanty, sucks nobody plays the game anymore😭
Simply the best game in the franchise and one of the best soundtracks in games, this was Ubisoft's golden age, unfortunately greed went to the company's head, times that never come back. F 😢
My favourite game of all time, sure there's better games out there but this is my favourite.
Moments where men cried
What a masterpiece of a game
This is my favorite Black Flag shantie. ❤️❤️❤️
My all time favorite Shanti !!
One of them had a voice crack xD
I think it just adds more to the feel of it. Feels like they're singing it with as raw emotions as possible, as loud as they can, until their voice cracks.
I miss jackdaw, When the crew starts to sing. It gives me a goosebump while sailing😔
Gold
Beautiful
i still love it
Pirates, bro, I hope one the can sail on the sea with your guys, lilke ture Pirates
Lowwlaannds awaaayyy
