- Опубликовано: 26 май 2023
- As many of you may know, I have worked with my pals The Longest Johns for a number of years - and today is (I believe) the 10 YEAR anniversary of their wonderful song, Bones in the Ocean. I thought it only fitting to do a cover myself. Written by the one and only Dave Robinson, who is moving on to pastures new. Thank you, Dave. :)

Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments on this! ♥
I absolutely love this 🖤
It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it ...... 🏴☠️
You sing wonderfully, so I subscribed, only to find out you do very little singing. If brass is your primary love, so be it, but perhaps a bit more vocals?
If you are looking for material to stand out with, there are not many modern covers of old school filk. I recommend Dawson's Christian (there are a few old versions online) a space shanty/ghost story, Elfland, and Hymn of the Nightmare.
Hymn of the Nightmare might be particularly suited to your interpretation.
Coming from an unbiased opinion, I'd agree
I've never heard of his song or band before. But I had to look up the lyrics and listen to it again.
It made me think of my best friend from Junior High. I was the best man at his wedding. I moved away and lost touch. And I remember the phone call from a mutual friend that he had taken his own life. My best friend, and I wasn't there for him when he needed it.
Thank you for being my friend when no one else would be. I miss you man.
I have a few best friends that have been going along with me for years since I was in secondary school. I cannot imagine if anyone of them died. May your friend rest in peace and I wish you and the friend will meet again in another life.
I might be biased, but I think this is rather good
Adequate, even
You’re allowed to be biased when it’s that good.
October 10th
You’re not biased, this is an amazing cover of it.
Yes you are biased. This may be good but nothing can beat the longest John's
I love how she never looks at the camera directly. It gives the impression that the character that she is portraying is so distressed by their guilt that they cannot focus on anything else, but loss.
We will all miss Dave. I wish him a prosperous future.
The "AS THE" in the last verse hits like a 16 wheeler with the horns leading in. Great job.
Absolutely beautiful Lucy.❤ A great tribute to Dave & the song.
As a longtime fan of TLJ, brass instruments, and more recently your version of Haul Away Jo, I'm very glad youtube decided to suggest this to me the other day. A very lovely cover, adequate even.
When I hear this, an Anglo-Irish sailor comes to mind who wants to sail the sea in search of interesting adventures and discover new lands.
I don't know why but this cover made me bawl my eyes out. Absoluteoy beautiful. Thank you for making this!
Don't usually comment but have to say this is the best version I've ever heard. Very well done
On this Memorial Day a thought: absolutely beautiful.
I lost some people I really care about this year. This is a great reminder that they would want me to keep moving forward.
Absolutely gorgeous. The horn added so much, and your voice is like a ribbon.
Ooof that was breathtaking
That was beautiful! Dammit Lucy, why you make me cry.
Me too
An incredible finish to an already wonderful song. It makes you a bit more committed to living. That's handy.
"I make sail for the Dawn till the Darkness is gone." ...and we start living again, even if damaged.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have this playing on loop through my entire workday. (oh who am I kidding, I am doing that)
Breathtaking. (I'm not crying, you're crying!)
November Tenth!
This receives the Duck Man seal of approval :) absolutely love it Lucy 🦆
This has to be one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard. So good.
That was absolutely beautiful, Lucy and now my eyes may be a tiny bit wet ❤
Absolutely amazing! I hope you collab more with TLJ, would love to hear your voice with JD, Andy and Robbie :)
Lucy has sung with the lads on a few live streams & her harmonies with them are amazing. Her voice blends beautifully.❤
Coming back to this after nearly a year; it was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks, Lucy.
Wow. This was
really good.
This is awesome! This or something else would make a great entry to 'The Trumpeter's Multi-Track Competition'!
Beautiful
Adequate beyond belief, definitely in my top 2 favourite versions ;)
Marvelous stuff, this will be on loop for days!
You have a beautiful voice!
I have never liked and subscribed so fast after seeing a video. Well done.
Hermoso, gracias por compartir.
Beautiful ❤ Thank you, Lucy!
I'm in love with this!!! Lucy, you're amazing!!!
The most adequate thing. I wish we can get a version with the johns too! plus the doot obviously.
What a beautiful song and voice. The simplistic nature of the video only gives it so much more. Subscribed.
Amazing, just absolutely amazing.
shiz im currently in a tough time of my life this just made me feel better ur voice sounds so peaceful damn
I hope you're doing better now.
What an ethereal-sounding cover! Well done!
This is breathtaking! So beautiful...
Beautiful 💖
So beautiful and moving. Love it ❤
Oh wow, just stumbled upon this, thanks YT algorithm! That was absolutely gorgeous!
Just beautiful Lucy ❤
Beautiful and poignant, very much does the theme justice. The trumpets really suit the powerful rise of the discovery that we can carry on without our loved ones. Really appreciate the sorrowful little smile at 3:17, nice touch
Very melodic! I think Bones in the ocean is good to sing for every kind of voice. This is actually a good counterpart for Dave's bass. I Love it!
the emotion is palpable
truly breathtaking delivery
Wow, just wow! Amazing!
Great presentation and great everything!
This is fantastic! You are so talented.
Absolutely the best cover of this song I have ever heard!
Wow beautiful voice❤❤🎉
THANKYOU!
this is one of my favorite songs by the Longest Johns, and you absolutely nailed it with this cover! 😁
❤
CHILLS ABSOLUTE CHILLS!
I hold this song so close to my heart, thank you for doing it justice
I don't know if anything waits for us on the other side, but if there is heaven, I hope the first voice I hear is at least half as beautiful as this
Amazing. Thank you.
i can just imagine my character in Naval Action still sailing across the ocean right now. as this music fills my space of mind.
i am shocked she only had 543 subs
Quite a beautiful cover. Thank you for sharing this.
Lucy this is so beautiful!! I love it so much ❤❤
This was absolutely lovely
Well now I need to hear her sing Jolly Sailor Bold
This is one of my favorite songs. I love this rendition, and I also love a French Horn!
You have a beautiful voice and I hope you keep singing not for others but for yourself 😊
Love it!
Stunningly beautiful....thank you so much.
Beautiful 💜
You deserve more views and subscribers.

Such a good cover. Absolutely lovely. Thank you for this :)
Utterly beautiful Lucy. Thank you.
I think this is my favorite tlj cover ever, your voice is so majestic and your playing is phenomenal, you certainly did the song justice ❤❤
This makes me want to plan my last adventure as a sailing trip that takes me around the world until I pass gripping the helm like my adventuring ancestors
Amazing work
love how triumphant and hopeful it feels from 2:50 on, perfect word painting, even better than the original.
oh this is beautiful
great singing and phrasing !! 😍
Good job!!👍👍
Lovely voice thanks for the cover!
Heavenly voice
amazing vocals!!!!
incredibly good performance! so happy to come across gems like this channel!
Beautiful, really nice arrangement and performance!
Your voice is divine
So I was just listening to the longest johns remix 2023 and the original of this song multiple times, comparing... Then I scrolled down and saw your version and went Ok, lets hear it. And... That was just plain good. Like, really nice. Adequate. Well done. I liked the brass, too.
100% beautiful. There’s true feeling here
A lovely rendition of a true classic. You should be proud of your work.
Wait, the triumphant rise after "till the darkness has gone"? What? Had to listen to the verse 10 times. Amazing.
Magnificent. I am definitely subscribed after this. I look forward to everything ahead.
I can’t stop listening to this cover. Oh man the talent is ridiculous
Lucy, you have a timeless voice and you've made that song timeless. Well done! Well done indeed!
(By the way, I could smell the salt air!)
I discover also your beautiful tone of voice! bravo!
