Vol. 5 - Compilation of Traditional Folk & Sea Songs - (ft. Kick Up the Dust, Pyrates! & more)

I learned one of my friends has nobody to listen to sea shanties with. They're one of us now.

Normal people: use lofi music to relax and study My mom entering in my room: are you studying? Me, studying while listening to sea shanties: Yarrr.

I've been a fisherman for over 20 years and and freight ship pilot as well.I feel sea shanties in me bones 😁.I now have 5 children (almost 50😉), and my two youngest girls, 3 and 4 dance every morning while I have my coffee and wake to the world! They love to dance and what better way to wake and start the day! Thanks C'apn!

What a great find. Im a Newfoundlander, from a fishing village and loved Sea Shanties all my life. Living inland currently and this music is all that keeps me sane .

My brother, commercial fisherman for 48 years until his death in 2015, knew many Irish based sea songs, and lots of filthy ones too! Missing him every day! 😢❤❤❤

Music straight from the soul. I weep for the beauty, but also the dirty fact that modern music cares not about story telling, not in the way that these tunes can strum the very core.

I spent 5 years at sea as a young man and these shanties and others really stir my blood and make me miss my time on the seas! Thanks! ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam

I miss my days at sea…the roaring waves the hot sun the salty air

We want this. We want fraternity. We don't want modernity. We don't' want to work from home.

We are born too late to explore the oceans, and we are born too early to explore space....

When I was 8 I learned "What shall we do w/ the drunkin sailor". = a life long love of shanties & the like. Fell in love with groups like the Pogues. Married a Navy man... Yup you could say I am a lifer.

I'm so happy that Captain Kidd is in this one. Yet more groups to learn about!

Firstly, thank you very much to all of you who have listened, liked, and commented so far. Really appreciated. Also, you'll be pleased to hear that Vol. 5 is now back online whilst the disputed claims are settled. Unfortunately the same copyright holder has decided to file a copyright claim today against one of the songs featured in Vol.4, and has therefore blocked access to the video worldwide. I have disputed the claim, and hopefully that video will be reinstated as well. (Edit) - Both volumes 4 & 5 are back online for now, until the disputed claims are fully settled :) (Edit 2) - Unfortunately my dispute against the claims for Vol. 5 got rejected, and it is now back down again. Hopefully it may go back up at some point, but we'll have to wait and see.

Sea Shanties have found a special place in my heart and tapping of my foot, since a watched the movie showing where the Shanties were part of the fishing in the area. The one in the movie was my favorite but I never could find the name of it! Some made me happy, some to dance and some brought tears and sense of loss. Love them all!!! Thank you so much!!

Was on a side trawlwer in the North Atlantic in a hurricane when she went under the tidal wave at 0330. The ship righted thank God. Her name was the Sanbro, 85 footer. She was cursed before we sailed. The crew stayed drunk along with the Captain. We sailed from Halifax into the storm to fill the hull with haddock. The crew is all gone now. Many were Newfoundlanders. Good chaps they were. I'm the only survivor for I was only 16 in 68. Fourteen days out to sea, four hours on and four hour off. Pirates were they all . A star trailed the crescent moon which warned of the storm. But we sailed into it to fill the hull with only 30 tons of fish. 30 tons payed only 60 dollars minus 30 for the gear.

Long time ago I was visiting a nursing home in the US and there was a very old Irish gentleman sitting in his wheelchair. He had some form of dementia. He was singing his old Irish ballads, don’t know if it was sea shanties, but he didn’t miss a lick. Singing goes to a different part of the brain than talking (in case you didn’t know). 🧑‍🎤🎶He seemed petty happy at least for a while.

Coming from Montana, I dreamed of sailing the seas, as a kid. That film gave me a feeling similar to being lost in a Montana wilderness. On and on, with no sign of another human in sight. Feels good.

My heart especially goes out to the French and other engagee’s paddling the 36’ cargo canoes on the Great Lakes during the North American Fur Trade and going around portaging around the falls and rocks.

All hands on deck! 😋🥰🏴‍☠️

This song's rythm is smoother than my whole life.👍👍
