Lyrics: There was a ship that put to sea, And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea The winds blew up, her bow dipped down, O blow, my bully boys, blow. Soon may the Wellerman come And bring us sugar and tea and rum. One day, when the tonguin' is done, We'll take our leave and go. 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. 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. No line was cut, no whale was freed; The Captain's mind was not of greed, But he belonged to the whaleman's creed; She took the ship in tow. For forty days, or even more, The line went slack, then tight once more. All boats were lost (there were only four) But still the whale did go. As far as I've heard, the fight's still on; The line's not cut and the whale's not gone. The Wellerman makes his regular call To encourage the Captain, crew, and all. Thanks Paul Brown n.n I'll show this to the world
It's dope that they're just out doing this at a random shopping center. Can you imagine just being out going about your day and randomly run across this when you stopped to pick up some relish and hot dog buns.
It's not exactly that. This is part of the "Festival Maritim" that was held there every year with various artists on different stages. It also included gigs in different parts of the city area for a capella or acoustic sets. This is one of those. As it is held again this year I really hope TLJ are coming again, I would really like to see them live.
It's the recording angle I'd say. Bass frequencies are harder to hear without amplification and JD being that much closer to the camera than Dave and Anna balances that out, so we get a nice "equalization".
ja, ich kannte die auch nur online und bin extra nach Bremen gefahren. Die waren live echt der Hammer und so nett. Ich habe mir den Tag wirklich viele Auftritte von ihnen angesehen. Wenn alles wieder besser läuft, kommen die bestimmt auch wieder. Also Festival Maritim in Bremen merken , gab auch noch tolle andere Bands aus aller Welt ; )
Lyrics:
There was a ship that put to sea,
And the name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down,
O blow, my bully boys, blow.
Soon may the Wellerman come
And bring us sugar and tea and rum.
One day, when the tonguin' is done,
We'll take our leave and go.
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.
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.
No line was cut, no whale was freed;
The Captain's mind was not of greed,
But he belonged to the whaleman's creed;
She took the ship in tow.
For forty days, or even more,
The line went slack, then tight once more.
All boats were lost (there were only four)
But still the whale did go.
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on;
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone.
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the Captain, crew, and all.

That dude is killing it with his throat singing!
The dude's on the right is amazing !
edit: you're all amazing
But this dude looks like a real pirate!
A true buccaneer
SO UNDERRATTED
Awesome group
I don’t actually know why.... but this song gives me some freaking good vibes.
The guy on the rights balls must be at his ankles
Hahaha
guy on left as we see it has the deepest basso.
Yes, it’s the mix of voices, the bass voice is often left out in some cultures. Try this for a bass voice:

Hahaha......that made me laugh.
The guy on the right is JD
I’m so glad I was looking for sea shanties, their absolutely fabulous!!

My ears like this
What's it like to wake up one morning and find you're world famous ?
Ummm... They have a youtube channel xD they already are
Why is this the best version out there!? Something in the acoustrics of that spot?
