THE LAST SHANTY
Well me father often told me when I was just a lad
A sailor's life was very hard, the food was always bad
But now I've joined the navy, I'm aboard a man-o-war
And now I've found a sailor ain't a sailor any more
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last
Just get your civies ready for another run ashore
A sailor ain't a sailor, ain't a sailor anymore
Well the killock of our mess he says we've had it soft
It wasn't like this in his day when he was up aloft
We like our bunks and sleeping bags, but what's a hammock for?
Swinging from the deckhead, or lying on the floor?
Well they gave us an engine that first went up and down
Then with more technology the engine went around
We know our steam and diesel but what's a mainyard for?
A stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore.
Well they gave us Aldiss lamp so we could do it right
They gave us a radio, we signaled day and night
We know our codes and cyphers but what's a semaphore?
A bunting-tosser doesn't toss the bunting anymore
Two cans of beer a day and that's your bleeding lot
Now we get an extra one because they've stopped the tot
So we'll put on our civie clothes and find a pub ashore
A sailor's still a sailor just like he was before
______________________________________
Led by their fearless front-woman Derina Harvey, this five-piece Celtic-rock group offers a fresh take on traditional tunes and intersperse that offering with their own original jigs and reels. Their infectious rhythmic undertow is layered with rock guitar, dizzying fiddle motifs, and topped by Derina’s powerful voice. These transplanted east-coasters have earned a reputation with their high-energy live show, leaving many an audience out-of-breath and hollering from the dance floor!
The band has proven to be a crowd-pleaser wherever they go. Though the band is based in Alberta, 2015 has seen the group travel across the country, with three trips to Newfoundland to their credit where they have entertained crowds at theatres, festivals, and pubs. They have been featured twice on the main stage of George Street Festival in St. John's, once opening for NL favourites Shanneyganock. Most recently, they have shared the stage with other east-coast favourites such as Jimmy Rankin, The Irish Descendents, Pogey, and even some rock acts including The Trews, Kim Mitchell, and Trooper.
The band continues to build on a growing fan base by promoting their self-titled debut album (released in 2013). The record has garnered radio airplay in multiple regions in Canada (CKUA in Edmonton; K-Rock and Radio Newfoundland in St. John's, NL; CBC, Canada-wide). Their second album entitled "Rove and Go" (released May, 2016) has already gotten airplay on over 30 community and college radio stations across Canada.
Welcome to Quincy's Tavern!

Can we get the man in the corner to put the chair down?

Send this to rosewoods apothecary she’ll know what it’s for. Not sure if those are the exact words

Her voice has thrust. Rarely have I ever felt so propelled by a singer and band than by this lot!
That's a fantastic way to describe it. I told my wife about this comment before playing the song and she thought "thrust" was a weird adjective, but when I played the song she completely understood.
She really makes you feel like joining her crew. Using onlu her voice she could motivate a crew. your description is perfect
You hit the nail on the head. Her singing is just perfect for this song!

P
Thrust lol
I like how they kept the lyrics "when I was just a LAD" because it rhymes with "the food was always bad."
But if they wanted to, it could be changed to "lass" and make it rhyme with "the food tasted like ass."
Bazinga funny cuz it's true
Why did a laugh at this
Lass would sound strange in that accent but I'm all for it.
As a trans girl it's fun to have the "lass singing sea chanties" vibes and also saying "when i was just a lad"
Hehe
I've been a sailor the past 5 years.
Can confirm, a stoker ain't a stoker with a shovel anymore
Thank you for your insight
But is a sailer just a sailor like he was before?
Also can confirm,
Stoker for 9 years (not a snipe ya bastards), never touched a shovel unless it was a bs community project. RCN and we didn't even get our 2 beers a day.
My hands are goddamn useless and I'm prone to motion sickness, but this song makes me want to join the nearest ship's crew.
I wanna say something but I dont
@@justnormal2521 glad you didn’t
@@GeraltOfSuburbia wat do u like...gay stuff?
Get a bunch of dramamine, memorize a bunch of songs, and sign up as the shantyman
Its not like the old days mate. If you get past your motion sickness you could be a boatswain maybe?
The refrain sounds like the oldest sibling repeating the drill of staying home alone to their parents
This song totally didn't just inspire me to buy a corset and oversized puff shirt or anything 😏😏😏😏
I may have done this
I need a corset!!!
This made me do my first tik tok video! This song has powers!

Cheers, I havent got ears.
@@sjthjsdreadfather4867 Some people have audio processing issues...
It’s spelled “Killick” not “Killock” but good try! You were close! Most people can’t understand us at all.
Thank you for writing this out I understand the song A little better now. Could you please explain the two cans of beer and now we have an extra one because they stopped the tots???. And I'm assuming at the end the singer is saying that even though some things have changed for the sailors of old in the sailor of to day in the end they're both sailor
My son is 7 and he has been listening to this album CONSTANTLY for weeks now (even brings his cd player when he uses the toilet). He has a signed copy that my parents got from you guys when they were at one of your shows. We LOVE this whole album.🥰
He has good taste in music then good man 👍
We got a 6 year old who’s obsessed with sea shanties right now.

women singing sea shanties is everything
Edit: yall will argue over anything huh
I agree, I feel it gives it such an improvement and vibe they have been needing
Absolutely
@@belowzoe7432 Aye, there are many split-arses who sail aboard tall ships nowadays. This ones voice is a little scratchy but if ye can haul away effeciently then I don't see why not.
*a good singer singing sea shanties is everything. Keep the bullshit away :)
@@aguskpg what's bullshit about a woman singing songs that have historically been sung by men?
I heard this on tik tok, and now I can't stop listening to this

**quietly adds to playlist for a future tavern made out of an abandoned Logans**
Call it the bleeding lass hahaha
That’s the same thing I did
Please, share the name of the playlist
One single tear rolls our of my eye for logans.
Hey bestie wanna tell me where this is gonna be?
As a liveaboard sailor, I appreciate the hell out of this song. Been living aboard for 3 years, preparing to sail around the world
That's my goal. Good luck and Godspeed! Hope you're sailing the world now since that comment was awhile ago.

This about Navy sailors.
@@rickeys okay neat, still sailors on the sea nonetheless
@@sailingavocet nope, life onboard a warship is nothing compared to life on merchant ships, both are completely different, not saying one is better or harder than another, but life in the Royal Navy for me is a completely different way of life than merchant
For everyone not understanding the Navy slang here.
Man-O-War - a naval ship that was designed for combat and not for merchant service.
Civies - regular civilian clothes.
Killick - Most senior seamen among enlisted sailors but junior to a petty officer.
Mainyard - The yard of the mainmast, from which the mainsail is hung.
Stoker - A sailor who is responsible for all coal handling with the exception of the actual fueling of the boilers.
Aldiss Lamp - Signal lamp for optical communication, typically using Morse code.
Semaphore - an alphabet signaling system based on the waving of a pair of hand-held flags in a particular pattern.
Bunting-tosser - Also known as Bunts are sailors who hoist signal flags.
That's your bleeding lot - All you get / beer.
Tot - a daily ration of rum.
Don't haul on the rope, don't climb up the mast - telling how a ship was maintained in the old days and that they don’t do that anymore.
If you see a sailing ship it might be your last - This sentence refers to how much rarer sailing ships are nowadays, so you might never see one again because of bigger, better, faster ships like the iron clads rendering them obsolete.
I don't have any good stories but I used to play assassins creed black flag all the time around my little sister, and because of me singing shanties and her watching me play she aced a random test about old ships.
Best game ever
YES!
😂
Found this through TikTok, that vocal distortion is **chefs kiss**
In case, anyone is interested in what they mean when they say: "The food was always bad".
Back then the main food supply consisted of biscuits called Hard tack. They were based of flour and water, with a little salt. They would be stored in large barrels and brought along for journeys which often took months . They were as their name suggests, extremely tough and dense. It was said that trying to eat one raw would likely have ended with that sailor breaking a tooth. Therefore, they were often dunked in water, soups or beer before being eaten. Along the way they would often get infected with bugs and larvae, which could result in the entire supply getting destroyed, leaving the sailor hungry for weeks.
Other foodstuffs would have been salted fish or meat. Or in the case of my ancestors; the legendary dish Surströmming (Fermented herring). A dish that was never meant to be delicious, just something which could be stored for a long time without going bad.
Love these little historical gems! Allow me to add to this a bit:
Water, ironically, was scarce aboard ships because it often would start tasting of a barrel and would sometimes get contaminated with diseases from the wood. This is part of the reason drunkedness was rampant because the thing they had left to drink after the water was either gone or contaminated was Rum, which was cheaper than wine at the time. The drinking of little water and excessive alcohol led to dehydration, made worse from salty air, nonstop sun, and poor diet, which led to a severe lack of essential vitamins, especially vitamin C. This led to fatigue, vomitting, heavy anemia, patchy bleeding wounds on the skin, violent mood swings, and extreme vulnerability to diseases. These symptoms together became known as Scurvy.
The wellerman is the crew that brings the supplies to the workers like the sugar tea and rum it was sent by the weller bros company and they are the ones that they work for, so you where kind of right just a little bit off. I looked it up but it won't let me put the link. If you find something different let me know.😸
Trust me, the food hasn't improved much since... 🤣
another factoid: the sailors also ate salt pork. this was so salty that when the ship’s cook would put it in salt water to make it actually chewable, the salt content was actually *lowered*
Sam O Nella Academy Viewers: You rang?
I’m ex navy 26 years done on submarines, it’s the little things that help you thru depression and this song had me dancing about so thank you guys xxx
That, and the chow the first 2 weeks out 😀
What boat did You Serve on Brother? :)
I served on HMS Repulse , Vigilant and Sceptre ⚓@@irishdenny17
thank you for your service, dont know what country you served but nonetheless
Thankyou for serving Sir :)
Man this just shows how absolutely underrated violins are
Fiddle*
@@emilywhittle1420 I'd love to know what the difference is, other than lack of vibrato!
Same instrument, just a different bowing/playing style. 🙂 And yes, they are amazing! Source - my grandfather was a professional violinist when he was younger. This son is so beautiful! 😍
i really wish someone would do a cover of rainbow in the dark - dio with a fiddle/violin ( i know the OG song is a synthesizer, i just think it would sound amazing)
@@itisthesusie1754 What's the difference between a violin and a fiddle? A: Attitude.

Never used tick tock my Irish pride brought me here
What songs will be performed during the livestream
I promise I'll buy a ticket . IF! You promise to play Barrett's Privateers! I think you'd kill it b'ys!!
oh no i'm just seeing this now :(
I'm typically a metal and punk guy but... IT'S JUST SO GOOD
Same here man. Found this when listening to a night of Taake and Strung Out
But I'm sure Alestorm had a serious influence! 😂😂😂
Agreed. Exactly. Right There with U.
Same here. But man do sea shanties and folk music (like things) make me fuckin yearn for magic and evenings and drinking (I hate alcohol but you know what I mean).
Basically the Shire. Just give me Bilbo’s party.
99% of metalheads i know (myself included) have a sea shanty obsession
AYE!!!
My Father and Mother met and wed in the Navy... I am 61.
Mom (81) loves this song I sent her.
Dad went to Davy Jones locker a decade ago.
They both told me to join the Air Frorce.
So I became a SSgt Crew Chief on F4 Phantoms....
Amazing! 💚💚 We certainly appreciate their service!
I ask's Mom what she remembers.
Being as she is so old now...donncha know.
I got the middle finger!
😂
I actually really like the last section. The fact that as technology progresses things will change and never be the same, but then there are some things that will absolutely never change. In some ways a sailor ain't a sailor anymore, but in other ways a sailor will always be a sailor.
Any one else from the Birate army out there?! 💞 Love this song, can't stop listening.
Birate is a bisexual pirate which I am part of.
Wouldn’t it be the Birate Navy and not the army?
Holy Crap!! the best version of this song I have every heard!!
best one is pirate scorn from alestorm
ConFuzzled's Closing Ceremony banged this song out and it was amazing! Thanks for the good times!
Awesome! Glad you're enjoying the music! Thanks for listening! 💚
#HereFromConfuzzled
Loved it and it brought me here from confuzzled!
Im listening to this while playing sea of thieves. Am I doing this right?
I plan on playing this for my crew tomorrow!
Hell yea
Youre winning
Nope. You're playing Sea of Thieves
you are
This song gains so much more power if played through headphones at 3AM
This song makes me indecisive. Sing along, or break into Irish dancing? I don't have the breath for both 🤣🤯🥵
There seems to be only one answer. Train for both
A singer ain't a singer ain't a singer anymore. 😂
Hi there, one of the many members of the ConFuzzled staff/family, wanted to say what an amazing piece this and how much it made everyone cheer and sing along during our Closing Ceremony!
That's amazing! Thank you so much for listening! We're so glad you're enjoying the music and it was a nice addition to your celebration! 💚💚💚
Why does this sound like it would be featured prominently in a musical sung by either Norse or Celtic sailor characters
Cuz we Celts be sailors, warriors, kings, monks, an' everything in between. Them Norse knobs wish they was us. That's why they kept invadin'.
@@noahroangoldwing us norse people ruled you guys and the rest of the uk for 1500 years look it up
Well the band is made up almost entirely of Newfoundlanders, which if you know anything about us, as a population we are made up of mostly Irish, Scottish, and English AND we are home to the 1st known Norse settlement in North America. So with that mix I'd say there's a good chance it'd fit into a scene or 2 on something like that
@@noahroangoldwing Proud Irish hoping i have scottish blood cause im learning Scottish Gaelic
@@playboy46074 not the Welsh tho mate the norse were terrified of the welsh as were most saxons
My mom's from PEI and I don't embrace any of that tradition very often, but this song makes me want to break out the spoons or something
If you can't stop smiling you know it's a good song
Came via Confuzzled 2024, now I'm set on learning this song by heart. Love it, thank you!
Amazing! We're so glad you like it! Thanks for listening!! 💚
This song has been playing on a loop in my head for the past 3 days and im not complaining because you guys are amazing ❤️
My names patrick and im irish, scottish, german, dutch and swedish. I grew up with songs like this specially the great big sea and the irish rovers.
I'm a huge Shanty fan, 55 years old, and have tremendous respect and admiration for Canada's rich heritage of folk musicians, and I'm embarrassed to say that I was "today many years old" before I ever heard of this gem of a band. Wow. Am I glad I heard about DHB on TikTok. I'll be spending the next few evenings binging your UA-cam channel...
Anyone else because of that girl with the quick change pirate costumes. Full song is amazing ,the energy of the singer ,they’d do an amazing show I reckon
This band is a national treasure. Keep it going. All good fortune to ya.
Thank you so much for your kind words!!💚💚💚
Amazing here as a result of Confuzzled, but staying for the vibes
was reading a Pirates of the Caribbean fanfic that has Davy Jones not being evil, he and Calyso had a daughter , a sea nymph, who had a mortal son who had a son. both of the mortal members are named William Turner.
but the time span that gets talked about since the immortal 3 of the family are a family for centuries had me thinking of this song.
Ain't heard guttural music that hits the soul like that since the pouges!!! Great song!
@@TIMJIMCARNEY1 Thank you! 💚
I love this version! The lead singer's voice rocks!
You're very very good.
Also love from original Scotland;)
I'm A METAL HEAD, BUT I LOVE THIS PIRATE STUFF, HOW'S THAT HAPPENING??...
WHAT FUN MUSIC.❤❤
Amazing!! Thanks for listening! 💚💚
ive heard good singing before, ive heard people with talent deserving more praise, but this deserves a new moniker for both blends.
Thank you so much! 💚
Absolute CLASSIC
Quite possible my Favorite Shanty of all time!!! LOVING the almost irish-jig feel this has!!! Brilliant Job!!!!!!
Love from Landlocked WY. USA!!
My father used to whistle something like this when I was a kid and I finally found the words, navy guys are a different kinda lot fs!
That's amazing! Thank you so much! Stay in touch - we have a brand new song & album dropping in June! 💚
This song encompasses my entire music taste for several reasons
Goosebumps
LOVE the sound of her voice. ❤️
Strong, aggressive, passionate, but smooth and elegant at the same time! Amazing!
I found this cuz I was about to fall asleep at work and pirate music helped me stay up 😂
Good lyrics+female vocals+shanties.
Literal perfection.
Thank you so much! 💚
this song is all i’ve been listening to for the past two weeks
I heard this on tictok now its one of my favorite songs
Yep me too
I image a modern teenager getting sent to a medieval fantasy realm and using this song to explain to a group of pirates what sailing’s like back in their world
This is absolute favorite sea shanty
This song is now stuck in my head
Brings back memories of the ship.
I do love the powerfull voice of Derina, the adorable band and the wonderfull song! I'm in love with that!!!
I’m utterly obsessed with these songs
I love this version of this song. Great vocals.
Thank you! 💚
This song is so good. My family own an old sailing boat from hundreds of years ago. It's sad that there aren't many around and ones that are are in museums
This song puts my 6 month old to sleep idk why but she loves this song. We listen to this song 10 times a day ❤ its awesome!
Amazing! Thank you so much! So sweet!💚
Great version of Tom Lewis’s song.
Just had my toddlers wild out like never before.

That would be amazing!! 💚
Thank you for crediting Tom Lewis for writing this.
I love pirates and this song just is amazing I love it!!❤❤
We're so glad you like it! 💚
I'm a fan of the Cornish Folk Singers "Fisherman's Friends, they do a very good version of this song which I have liked for ages. This version by the Derina Harvey Band however, absolutely nails it.
Oh a new shanty for my collection
Best band I have ever listened to and I like this version of the last shanty more than the original
Just wanted to drop a comment and say thank you. Ya'll's music makes a 65+ hour work week bearable with the energy and mirth you put into it. Wishing all of you the best.
Her voice reminds me of Joan Jett with her delivery of the lyrics and the vocal pounding on the high notes I love it.
I heard Derina Harvey Band do a Joan Jett song 3 weeks ago and yes she did a great job
I'm here because of that one girl with the bagpipes on instagram, and I'm very glad I'm here.
I'm glad tiktok made me aware of this song. I've listened to it dozens of times in the last week. And this is my favorite version of the song.
I’ve literally listened to this at least 30 times today. It’s absolutely a masterpiece
Here's to another 30 after that
This song on a loop the whole day long . I felt in love with her voice and the rhythm
Awesome! Thank you for listening! We're so glad you're digging it!💚
Oldie but a goodie.
Definitely my favorite shanty and favorite band

What a cool song I’m a bass player and I can dig covering this piece in my band I love the drive that fiddle player kicks I don’t have one in my band I’m a rocker & im sure my guitar player can transpose the fiddle part & we can put some rocking bite to it. Derina can belt it man I’m an instant fan of these guys
Beautiful
Absolutely love everything about this especially since I am almost 100% certain if I played this in a tavern everyone would break into a dancing, drinking montage
