Tbf this is because of the 1865 novelisation of Hereward’s life by Charles Kingsley having Hereward having a sidekick called Martin Lightfoot. But yes I do agree Jonny Sims does having a naming problem 😂
gunpowder tim/tim ledsam is also part of softwire and had a part in rachel hughes' album "lolina"! though he has not released anything completely independent at this point, as far as i know
Headcanon: The Hound-class light frigate is a relatively small, yet fast and effective vessel. It has powerful heatsinks and reflective armour. When powered down, they're near impossible to detect amid asteroids. Excellent for ambushes and hit & run strikes.
Also he fought a bear! So I know that there's the thing of this song going time-set with OUATIS however my brain puts it with UDAD because when he talks about the planet-bound tyrants I can't help but think the Olympians from The City. I don't know Hereward's actual story other than this song so maybe that's why I'm putting it with The City but idk. I personally would put this in time-set with UDAD but it's all up to interpretation
why is it so many folk heroes were basically varying degrees of bandit? I mean hereward, dick turpin, blackbeard, jesse james, bonnie and clyde, billy the kid; mary reed, anne bonney, and calico jack; james hind, rob roy, louis bourguignon, ned kelley, and Bartholomew roberts are all of almost legendary status despite being outlaws and at times bandits, and with the exeption of roy, their primary achievement was banditry or piracy.
They were fighting Norman merchant and merchant friends of theirs from unfair taxes driving people into continuous poverty and servitude... One thousands of BS, each time there's a fight back there is relief for a generation or two.. It's continual... Their latest scheme is de>moc Communism..... Ffs read a bit
he’s so red king btw. he loves his servant martyn? 🤨 he has hounds? 🤨 his final stand involved a safe way down? 🤨 he won’t fight you if you’re part of his group? 🤨
Lol. Never thought I'd find a Worm fan on a Mechanisms song. There's also no proof that Hereward had Bio-tinker modifications so yeah Jack = weaker (also the Nine never left Earth so Hereward is just automatically cooler lol)
@@ryantoth676 Not much, just actually been reading part of Ward (aka Worm 2) to get some info on Contessa. Also lol can't believe I didn't think Jack Slash Vs A Bear and remember "Jack Slash fights a parahuman who's only power is the ability to summon adult grizzly bears. Who wins? WB: Jack." I mean that's a key piece of Wildbows explanation on Jack and everything! I am ashamed lol
I love how you can hear Tim slightly laughing on "but he loved his servant Martin, so they left her far behind"
I was certainly laughing. Clearly Hereward is just another Jonny
I love that part omfg, direct TMA reference
ALSO HE FOUGHT A BEAR!
HEUSNSIAKA
The only valid way to end a song
Normans(and bears): exist
Hereward: I'm sorry but I dont remember giving you permission to do that.
"also he fought a bear" I am crying and trying not to wake my sleeping family i am laughing so hard i did not expect that ending
you've heard of hereward the wake, now get ready for hereward the sleepy tired
2:07 Jon Sims has about 10 names and by god he will use them as often as he can
Ikr XD

Like Michael, Mike, and Mikaele? And don't forget the Michaels who were in statements.
Six of those names are Michael
oh my god he fought a bear...
how tf does Gunpowder Tim have just a wild range? He sounds completely different as Loki
He did Loki?!
@@bread7610 He did! i heard via youtube comment section that he joked on his twitter that he had to change his vocal range for that role! an icon
@@oliversmith8532 whoa cool!!
Has he recorded anything independent of the Mechanisms? I did a search, but I couldn't find anything.

As someone who has fallen deeply in love with Tim's voice, finding this song was amazing. (Listening still is.)
Headcanon:

Well well here I am looking info on herewald the wake and I bump into my favourite steam punk space pirates!
Having listened to this before knowing who sang it, I honestly thought this was Brian singing at first! God, Tim has an amazing range.
I also honestly mixed this song up for a Ben Below song but that’s on me
Also he fought a bear!
So I know that there's the thing of this song going time-set with OUATIS however my brain puts it with UDAD because when he talks about the planet-bound tyrants I can't help but think the Olympians from The City.

he loved his servant who-? 👀

Mahhhhhtin (God I miss tma)
I do not know what emotions this make me feel but by the Eye am I feeling them. the *voice* holy shit
Yeah Tim can have that effect on people
this gives me so many expanse vibes with the belter/planet-born people conflict
Ooh, what is that?
I choose to believe that this is set closest to OUATIS in terms of which album this is most connected to.
It does have a similar vibe, doesn't it?
I could also see this in HNOC as well
Ouatis?

Only a semi-serious answer but piracy is dope as fuck lol

Hereward The Wake officially stronger than Jack Slash (For the one person who gets that joke)
Lol. Never thought I'd find a Worm fan on a Mechanisms song.
There's also no proof that Hereward had Bio-tinker modifications so yeah Jack = weaker (also the Nine never left Earth so Hereward is just automatically cooler lol)
@@laytonbullough I was mostly referencing the Jack Slash vs Bears meme but yo wassup my dude?
