Thanks so much for checking out this song. You may leave your suggestions below as always. I DO read all of them! I see a lot of Pirates of the Caribbean and Sea of Thieves requests lately that I may or may not have some cool plans for! Cheers for listening yis' beauts!
(Lyrics)
There’s a shore far down in an island town
That we’ve long held out to see
And it’s where we’re bound and we’ve all but drown
On the way down to Maui
And it’s been six weeks since we left in July
When we first put out to sea
And we’ll not be out for a while says I
For at least a month or three
‘Cause we’re bound for warmer weather
And we’ll brave the last length down
‘Cause we’re all together
For worse or better
’til we dock her in that town
When we’re there at last and we’re out of the storm
And we touch down on dry land
There I’ll find me a lass where the waters are warm
And my boots are in the sand
With the right degrees off the ocean breeze
Any man could surely stay
But I’d trade the seas for them Kahului trees
For the rest of all my days
‘Cause we’re bound for warmer weather
And we’ll brave the last length down
‘Cause we’re all together
For worse or better
’til we dock her in that town
And if it is our last endeavour
Then we’ll share with all this sound
That we sailed together
For worse or better
’til we docked her in that town
Now we’ve braved the ice and the roarin’ winds
And we’ve lost a share of men
But in a heartbeat and for all my sins
I’d sail with yis’ all again
But we’re bound for warmer weather
And we’ll brave the last length down
‘Cause we’re all together
For worse or better
’til we dock her in that town
And if it is our last endeavour
Then we’ll share with all this sound
That we sailed together
For worse or better
And we’ll not pay heed to fast or measure
And we’ll drink like it’s our last time together
When we dock her in that town
I'm begging you, please please please- Mercy Seat Nick Cave. It would be mind meltingly amazing!
Allow me to elucidate why I believe your version of Mer y Seat would be incredibke- your version of Hear Shaped Box- which everyone should go listen to- is so unbelievably good it blew my mind. If you can do that with Heart Shaped Box you can do unbelievable things with Mercy Seat
Do "The Best Is Yet To Come" from Metal Gear Solid 1. The song is sung in Irish and I would love to see you doing it.
Well, now I know what I'm listening to on repeat for a good while :D.
YAY more Sea of Thieves!!! I actually bought the game and have been playing it for 3 days now because of your awesome songs!
I love your original songs as much as your covers. So when can we expect the launch for your line of custom knitted sweaters?
I'd love a collaboration with Skellig Gift Store haha. They sent me a lot of the ones I own
They’re brilliant. I’m just knitting something similar for my grandson. I must play him your video! (Which I really enjoyed!)
@@ColmRMcGuinness Little did we know, this was forshadowing
Was totally thinking this. :D
@@bella-bee That's so brilliant!
we are being blessed with yet another of our resident Thunder God's wonderful performances
Lower case g, thanks.

Being a US Marine and having friends and family in that as well as US Navy. We all in my group of people love listening to the shanties and drink a pint while listening with this on it felt humbling to me and others I will have to say just listening it gave us the feeling we had when we were still active in the military. I will have to say this is what I want played when I go to see St. PETER. BRAVO you brought tears and warm feelings to a bunch of Marines and Navy here.
I am listening to this a year out, real close to the anniversary of the end of my last deployment. Nailed it.

Ooh rah brother
What shall we do with a drunken sailor? Let's find out! HOOYAH!
Imagine: The McGuinness Triplets, legendary shanty singers and feared seafarers, sitting in their corner in the tavern, drinking rum. If they're not on the sea, they sing shanty all day long, expecting nothing more but for the patrons to enjoy their song as they drinks. Now that's joy.
That's going to be my next adventure hook for my d&d campaign
@@kmont0231 I am glad am not the only one that thought of this!
@@lazarmarinkovic8486 dude the new ghostfire gaming fables campaign is perfect for it! Pirates of the aetherial seas I think it's called.
@@kmont0231 And to add to this you could add a little sea side tavern called ***Ale storm***. If you know, you know
Thanks for that information. New to this channel and I sincerely thought it was one guy doing all the parts by himself and overlapping them in editing.
An original. It has been so long. I'm hyped for this one. The 20 hours can't go fast enough
Same :)
This is absolutely fantastic, Colm. you really hit the feel of a traditional Irish song. The driving beat, fiddle fills, multi part harmonies, the works. And I especially appreciate how each part has their own outfit. I look forward for to the next original.
Well, if Irish traditional songs are similar to this I can say that you guys have a really good traditional music lol
Yes

Mate, you're skyrocketing. When I subbed to you you were under 100k and now 210k! Congrats. I'm so happy for you man. Keep up the good work.
211k now
The ending called to mind the memorial service I went to for my great uncle in law (my husband’s uncle’s dad), who was a firefighter. They do something called the last call, or the last alarm, where they ring a bell (the count varies, his was three sets of three) to signal that his watch is done. It is an EXTREMELY emotional thing to be a part of. Very well done, Colm.
Ein Lied das die Kraft ausdrückt gegen alle wiedrigkeiten aufzustehen.Ein wundervoller Schanty.
This is an original song?? You could have told me this was a cover of an old Stan Rogers song, and I would've believed you. Fantastic work in the writing and execution. Make more originals!!
Absolutely amazing!
Colm, the DnD character based on you is still going strong. Using Ghost sound, And mirror image, your clones and you hype up every tavern and like in reality give out inspiration to everyone who hears you!
Damn. Jealous of your DnD group. Covid jacked all RL DnD. I have to find friends again. 😂🙏
Also, let's see how many likes we can get this video to on only the Premiere.😄
Edit: Apparently you can save a video to a playlist even before it plays. There's that done.
I can't see all the different angles as anything but shot/reverse-shots of different Colm's gazing lovingly into each other's eyes
Do I laugh?
Or revel in the beauty?

Привет из России!!👋
Твой голос да и музыка вцелом бесподобны,временами аж до мурашек пробирает!!
Счастья и Здоровья тебе!!
This song blends the traditional shanty styles, Irish folk traditions and newer styles perfectly to make a superb shanty for the 21st century!
"Drink like its our last time together"
I never know when a lyric will kick me in the guts, this has been one of those times.
This drinks for you brother, ill see you again someday on warmer shores
This song goes well with a crisp clear morning with Boohea Tea when you first wake up!
Colm sings better than any voice I've heard in a VERY long time! The man should get a record deal.
And again we can enjoy a good Irish song from Colm. That's really amazing how people from different countries and belonging to different cultures enjoy his performance. I've been singing Russian, Ukrainian and Greek songs in an amateur choir and I can say that he does a great thing in spreading of his country's culture.
As an Irishman, I agree and Thank you!
You know it's good when you have FIst Pounding Beat to back up the song. .... Listed to this at work and was wishing I had a beer and do even like beer lol !!!
Im kinda sad that I won't be able to listen to this live cause I'll be at school, but I'm gonna bet that I will add it to my list of awesome songs as soon as possible.
My god Colm. Each and every one of your originals has just absolutely blown me away and this one is no exception. Quite the opposite. So much energy, and such beautiful harmonies. Glad to see the rest of the world is catching on more and more as well ;)
This is the correct energy for the day.
This is honestly one of the greatest songs I've heard, especially for an original. I've been watching a lot of One Piece recently and this just sounds like something you'd hear in one of their episodes.
I miss being out to sea in the Navy and occasionally I find myself going back to torturing myself with shanties and folk music. This is arguably one of the best ones I've found. (And its sung in my key 😁)
His sweater game is on point. I'm pausing the video just to look at the cable patterns.
Dude this song is movie worthy they need to use this in a real pirate movie
The right combination of stoicism and gratitude will get you threw anything.
So we have sweaters, harmonies, Colm’s delightful brogue and a song that calls to our heart to sing along even if we don’t know the words!!
Well done!!
Such an underrated song; makes me wanna sail across the world 😭😭
Buckle up boys! We've got a brand new ride on the way, and it's gonna be great!
Also, I'm curious as to how you right your songs. Is it more "Inspiration in a moment and frantic writing to get it all out before it flees"? Or is it more of a "Dedicated contemplation on the ebb and flow of the words, rhythm, and rhyme?"
I'm really sad that I'm only finding this original just today (I hadn't know you'd ever done an original). I haven't listened to nearly all your work yet, so I hope to discover more in the future. It really is beautiful. It's amazing how you manage to imbue so much life and color into songs, whether they're covers or this original. Your work is consistently wonderful and it's a genuine joy listening.
You'll have plenty of enjoyable surprises in the future, believe me. His originals are always incredible, and only ever get better.
Wooooooow it the most of beutiful!!!!!
You don’t get enough credit. I just discovered your channel. Your voice is amazing. We listened to your pirates of the carribean cover and both my wife and I literally widened our eyes 👀 it was awesome!!
When you know by the first 5 seconds this is gonna be a new favorite
I'm in tears now..
Whi can dislike such heavenly music like this
You have become my favorite irish artist and I have a feeling when we March to north Ireland to free our home your music will be playing with every step
Every time I hear this song I cry. The song came on during my drive to my parents house the day my dad came home on hospice, and the chorus stuck. My family and I were all together, for worse or better, as my father was bound for warmer weather. He passed quickly and peacefully that night and was even able to flash a smile when he recognized me during a lucid moment. This song has, and continues to help me process my grief. Thank you for this gift Colm, from the bottom of my heart it has come to mean a lot and will forever be one of the songs in the soundtrack to my life.
I can’t ever pick out what exactly it is but every time I come back to this song, it’s always something new or old I’ve felt about that just makes me..happy and belonging. It’s a good song to get lost in singing along to.
Love the originals!
I've been around talented musicians all my life despite being shite at music, myself. That being said, there is not a single song of yours that doesn't make me go,"WHOA!" the second you start singing. Please keep doing this; you bring me joy with each video. Thank you!
Your Song ,calls to the Soul Back to our Roots 💓💯‼️‼️ Oorah Semper Fi& Beyond ‼️‼️‼️
I do not know how I stumbled onto your music good but really enjoy all your music thus far. Keep up the good work.
i have had this song stuck in my head for DAYS and it annoyed me so much i came back to listen to it but now my brain is even more hell-bent on singing it over and over AND I AM ANNOYED BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO LEAVE AT THE SAME TIME. it's too catchy. i love it so much.😅
Wow, that was amazing. Your covers are always spectacular but you just leveled up with this song. I'm excited to hear more originals from you in the future.
I have an entire playlist to listen to for studying or doing schoolwork that is your music or other Irish artists❤
Old Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem fan. What ever it is they had you have the same. Can't describe it, it is just that you understand the music.
Well done. First of your originals I have heard and you nailed it.
You know it's a damn fine tune when you have to keep hitting play over and over. Another instant favorite Colm!
I really like this song. It just makes me feel good listening to it.
Im in Ireland for shooting a film, and have your songs to accompaign me! Just perfect! Thanks again for your great work!!
Just when I think my day can't get better then I here orginal from you Colm. Thanks my guy your music Amazing
I love that I can always tell which register you're singing in solely by what your eyebrows are doing.
This is an awesome song to listen to while it's freezing cold outside during the winter! 😉
Loved this one, binged it at work this entire week! Would love to hear you sing off to sea and hear what magic you'd do to that old favourite of mine.
This is awesome, each word you song painted a picture and when put together with this tune, it reaches perfection.
This song right here has me dress in full kit and the platoon sergeant’s order to charge hearing this
After putting off this one for a while, I finally decided to listen to it and I sure am glad I listened to it now. I really love the inspiration from a bunch of different shanties that I noticed and a ton that I probably didn't
This guy's music is amazing, how can he be so good.
Hi Colm, happy to hear your new original! I love your covers, but originals are - originals. And your originals (the old and new ones) just make me smile. Cheers to the green island and its modern bards. May the songs always be with you!
Amazing how you can transport us all to a different time and place with just your voice! This time it was a cheery pub full of friends and a warm fire, while the sea spray and gale roared outside, clanging the masts and buoys around.
Can you please do I’m dreaming of home its a Scottish ww1 song mate the way you sing would make the song sound way it should be sung
Amazing colm! I love your channel! You blow my mind!
I'm I the only one that wants to hear this bellowing out of a local pub?
I think this is the real test of a "cover artist". How well an original song or album does, and all I can say is I'm surprised I haven't seen an album in Walmart or something yet. You knocked it out of the park.
Amazing tune. I think the yanks would call this a "Home run" ?? Hahah... Gave me chills... The good kind... Let's have more of these tunes !!
What a way to start the weekend. A stormin song by Colm. Thank you.
Colm those sweaters look extremely comfortable. Where could someone pick one up?
Lovely work here, I'm greatly looking forward to more of these originals! A bit of vulnerability here, your music has honestly been a balm for me on these long, lonely days of isolation and fear. I want you to know, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, that the songs you post have an almost magical effect in that they transport me to someplace where it's just the music and I, not a worry to think of. As someone who suffers from clinical depression, that's a rare relief. Thank you for you and for your gifts, cheers!
You know what I love about this song? It allows me to dream of a home
I have never seen thanks for a great song colm
Literally cant stop listening to your amazing songs... so having another original is mega levels of hype
edit: this song is incredible
I love your songs! Knits me that much closer to Canada and Ireland!
This is actually my favorite song of your's yet, original or otherwise.
This right here has such an instant classic feel to it. And I don't mean to say like "oh, instant classic!" More that, from the first notes, I had an instant sense of nostalgia and joy.
Thanks as always for this spark of light.
Now I'm gonna go loop this for a bit.
Man, I’ve commented several times before, your videos are such an encouragement to me it’s not even funny. Thank you for putting in the effort for people like me! Be blessed, be great
I’m new here but love the vibe!! Everyone’s gotta love a cable knit sweater and Irish pub music!
I've realy enjoy your videos! So much so, that over the past year, my son and I listened to your shanties while we rebuilt his sailboat in my garage! He know and sings right along...me too!
What a jolly thumping toon! This video in particular especially shows off your fantastic creativity: It's an original, you've added something new with the table thumping, and you switched up the camera angles with the music in a highly enjoyable manner. The willingness to try something new and different is also an amazing example of how you are able explore and try new things while still keeping it entirely your own style. Keep it up and thanks for the great stuff!
I just found this and... oh my God I absolutely LOVE it. What a beautiful original 🎶
Yah time to wait 15 hours to hear the best music on the internet
Love these originals man -- keep up the great work! You are a true musical talent.
I learned today you had original songs on the channel. And thank the Lord for that!
New favorite song
Colm, you seriously out did yourself here. It feels like an instant classic and something I would have listen too as a kid, growing up in an Irish club in the US.

Nothing’s better than a warm song that captures our hearts! Well done, Colm! You’ve done it again!
This song has me coming back weekly

Hey Colm. I just wanted to say that I love this song so much. I've listened to it dozens of times, and it always ends up bringing a smile to my face. I love the energy and uplifting tune, and the lyrics only enhance the overall experience. I hope you end up doing more like this in the future. Merry Christmas.
Instantly turning volume to the max. :). Song putting a huge smile on my face :)
