58 Lowlands Away SOTW
1. I dreamed a dream the other night,
Lowlands, lowlands away, my John.
My love she came dressed all in white,
Lowlands away.
2. I dreamed my love came in my sleep.
Her cheeks were wet, her eyes did weep.
3. She came to me at my bedside.
Dressed all in white, like some fair bride.
4. And bravely in her bosom fair, A red red rose, my love did wear.
5. She made no sound, no word she said.
And then I knew my love was dead.
6. Then I awoke to hear the cry. Oh watch on deck, oh watch ahoy! - Розваги
Lowlands away: the shanty so good it has been shanty of the week twice.
Nope: I very much *do* want to listen to this guy droning on and on! (I mean, the shanty's pretty good as well...😊)
Thanks John. Red Text Guy gets pretty mean sometimes.
For those who may wonder what a shore song is, here is a lengthy explanation.
A shore song is a shanty that no longer has use as a work songs. Examples of this are stamp and go shanties, such as drunken sailor.
In some cases they are similar to forecastle shanties (such as Spanish Ladies), which dont follow a rythm a crew may use to work since their structure is more of that of traditional songs, a long verse sang by the shanty man followed by a long chorus sang by the whole crew. The Wellerman is another example of a Shore Song, just in case you were wondering.
Shore songs also may have a structure similar to that of a work song, such as Nills Brown's rendition of Lowlands Away, however, the rythm they follow is not practical to execute any work, the rythm may be too slow or too inconsistent at parts, speeding up and slowing down from verse to verse, for a crew to do any coordinated labor
Note that I am no professional in the field of shanties.
Hope this helps lads!
The AC Black Flag anthem, love it.
Thank you for addressing how the other version of this shanty we're familiar with is not rhythmic. It is hauntingly beautiful and sentimental, but I always wondered how this song survived as a shanty because it wasn't sung as a work song. Hearing it as a work song is amazing! Really like what you did with it.
Absolutely fantastic version/interpretation. I'll be singing this all week!
Thanks so much for all the work put into these amazing videos.
Nonsense, I always love listening to this guy "drone on". The history enriches the music and narrative so mich
I like the idea of revisiting other songs with different tunes/lyrics. In my opinion one of the best parts of shanties is that there can be many different versions of one song. It's very peculiar and unique. Great video today as, always
He was impressed by the water. And there were a lot of "what's that?" with all the different things to see.
I'm glad he liked all the things to see.
❤=melt
I've always loved this song, and now finally a version I can put with my "songs to graft to" playlist! Already giddy for next week's shanty
i cant get over how good this version is. its so catchy and lingers longer than ive had a song linger in quite some time.
Nice!
OH I ADORE THIS SONG, Nils Brown did it so perfectly for Assassin's creed Black Flag, this one is now going in my list of favourites too. Thanks Sean for this weekly dose of brilliance 💙
Looking nice Sean!
I remember me and my friend going home from a party back in 2013 and we were singing this song as loud as we can as we were wandering home being drunk.
Thanks for your work Sean, you’re a true legend!
thank you!
What an awesome version! I think I've only ever heard the shore song version you were talking about. This is definitely now my favorite version!
Thanks Sigur. I"m glad you like it.
Feel free to drone on Seán, we are all hear to listen about the history of the song as well as the singing.
Lets go
Y E S
Tellement bon! Merci Sean!
I like this version! Also very excited to see new things you’re doing!
Nonsense! Keep droning on! Loved the shanty and loved the pictures too!
O I really like this reimagning. At the one hand, the worksong like rythm gives it a very different flavour than ususal, but on the other hand it isn't so different that it messes with my brain. I love it!
Thanks wiesorix. I'm glad you like this version.
A more recent favorite shanty of mine! It just gives a new shade to this very sad song!
Haha 😂🤣. The ending was very good. And so was the shanty!!! Once again, thanks a lot Seán.
Your rendition of this is awesome, and I’ve never heard it with this sort of tempo or rhythm 🍻 Like you said, Nils sings it much more slowly and somberly, but there’s just something about it that still makes me sad regardless.
Beautiful work as always! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks and you're welcome!
Black flag spoilers: I love this shanty, it means to me so much. I always associate Edwards last words with this shanty. Part of this song is required to unlock a secret room in ac syndicate that leads you to all Edwards belongings. It was Edwards favourite shanty, most likely because of Caroline. It's very sad and that's why I'm emotionally attached to it. Thank you for the amazing work Sean
I'm glad this brings you good memories.
Easily my favorite shanty, whatever version.
feels like I'm at the helm of the Jackdaw
Great work as always! Could you possibly do either Mollymauk or Northwest Passage?
I'll do Mollymauk one day. As for Northwest Passage, I'm doing trad/anon tunes for the time being. I might eventually do Stan songs but not soon. I'm glad you like the video.
@@SeanDagher I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait🙂
I have been waiting for this
Hope that festival is going well for you!
What is a 'shore song'? Is that a shanty sung in a more melodic way, like the other version of lowlands away?
Probably, or sea songs that changed more. Most likely probably work chanteys changed into actual songs.
A shore song is a shanty that no longer has use as a work songs. Examples of this are stamp and go shanties, such as drunken sailor. In some cases they are similar to forecastle shanties (such as Spanish Ladies), which dont follow a rythm a crew may use to work since their structure is more of that of traditional songs, a long verse sang by the shanty man followed by a long chorus sang by the whole crew.

Hope this helps my friend!
@@pandito46 thank you for the great explanation-with examples! I still can't get the categories straight but I know all the shanties you mentioned so it makes it much clearer.
@@Kelly_Grey forgot to mention that shore songs also may have a structure similar to that of a work song, such as Nills Brown's rendition of Lowlands Away, however, the rythm they follow is not practical to execute any work, the rythm may be too slow or too inconsistent at parts, speeding up and slowing down from verse to verse, for a crew to do any coordinated labor, will include this as an edit in my previous response and post it again in a comment as well.
Can you ever do William Taylor?
That one too.
@@SeanDagher omg. it'll make my head blast💖
I think I like this version better than the ac version
I'm glad you like this version.
I remember this one from AC4. So morose! Pretty, tho. I kind of wish I could hear it sung in some other language so the lyrics wouldn't depress me. XD
I think ac4 is pretty much slower
