I'm from Texas, and I can confirm that this is what a limousine looks like
Didn't know that mix between limo and pony car ^-^
Thank you for bringing a whole new generation to the work of Stan Rogers. This song was playing when I landed in Canada after moving from UK. Still gives me goosebumps
Honestly, this was the very first Longest Johns cover I ever heard when you guys put out the music video a few years ago. One of my favorites. Great work, lads and muchachos!
"To seek a Northwest Passage at the call of many men/To find there but the road back home again"
This bit takes on a different meaning considering the amount of times you must have been asked to do this song.
Everyone turns into a Nova Scotian whenever they hit the tardiest explorer line. ❤️
This song makes me proud to be a Canadian despite being Turkish
@@Dicka899 The Sabaton Effect: When a song makes you proud to be a citizen of a nation you are not, in fact, a citizen of.
@@wesleythomas7125 except sabaton is cringe, in the original meaning of the term
@@Dicka899You're cringe in the original meaning of the term.
JD's a capella bit on the last verse is just...*chef's kiss* Gives me chills every time. Lovely addition.
Can we just appreciate both the high quality and quantity of different content that The Longest Johns have been giving us? 🏴☠
More Stan Rogers covers! YES!
I can’t believe captain America wrote this
Andy’s voice on the chorus is just oh my god wow
The smug pony's long spine does a concerning amount of wobbling.
This has always been my favorite song by Stan Rogers. And this is also one of the best covers of this song that I have loved for so long.
Blown away by this rendition, wow.
Yep I'm crying, lol.
Rest in peace Stan Rogers
Y'all did justice to this one, Stan would be proud
*LYRICS - The Northwest Passage - The Longest Johns & El Pony Pisador (Stan Rogers)*
Westward from the Davis Strait,
'tis there 'twas said to lie; the sea route to the Orient,
for which so many died. Seeking gold and glory,
leaving weathered broken bones. And a long forgotten, lonely cairn of stones… Ah, for just one time,
I would take the Northwest Passage, to find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea.
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage, and make a northwest assage to the sea… Three centuries thereafter, I take passage overland. In the footsteps of brave Kelsey,
where his "Sea of Flowers" began. Watching cities rise before me,
then behind me sink again… This tardiest explorer,
driving hard across the plain… Ah, for just one time,
I would take the Northwest Passage, to find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea.
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage, and make a northwest passage to the sea… And through the night, behind the wheel,
the mileage clicking west. I think upon McKenzie,
David Thompson and the rest. Who cracked the mountain ramparts,
and did show a path for me, to race the roaring Fraser to the sea… Ah, for just one time,
I would take the Northwest Passage, to find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea.
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage, and make a northwest passage to the sea… How then am I so different,
from the first men through this way? Like them, I left a settled life, I threw it all away. To seek a northwest passage,
at the call of many men, and to find there, but the road back home again… Ah, for just one time,
I would take the Northwest Passage, to find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea.
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage, and make a northwest passage to the sea…
and make a northwest passage to the sea…
and make a northwest passage to the sea…
Longest Johns we’re my most listened to artist last year, and Ponies were number 2. I am a happy pirate 😊
alright boys this song has inspired me to gather 2 ships well stocked for 3 years to find the northwest passage i need volunteers
Let’s not forget those souls lost during Franklin’s Expedition.
Some of those souls lie on Beechey Island, frozen in time, yet never forgotten.
Others were scattered across the many other islands and the inlets leading to the Beaufort sea.
For Franklin, we know not where he lays, but, in the end, it does not mean we cannot forget what he has done nor forget the sacrifice of the men under his command. Though they never made it, it is from their sacrifice that others could make it further.
Remember them and honor them as they were truly great men.
There was no Northwest passage. So many men died trying to find it.
If thats the longest pony I really don't want to see what that poor guy named John looks like.
{Chorus}
Ah for just one time I would take the Northwest passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
And make a Northwest passage to the sea
Westward from the Davis Strait 'twas there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered broken bones
And a long forgotten, lonely cairn of stones
{Chorus}
Three centuries thereafter I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelsey, where his "Sea of Flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain
{Chorus}
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking West
I think upon McKenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea
{Chorus}
How then am I so different from the first men through this way?
Like them I left a settled life, I threw it all away
To seek a Northwest passage at the call of many men
and to find there but the road back home again
{Chorus}
I think it's "To race the roaring *freighter* to the sea" but thanks for the lyrics post!
@@NGNMYokohama Nah, he's right; "Fraser" refers to the Fraser River in British Columbia, Canada.
The song tells of the singer's journey in following the footsteps of past Canadian explorers, but instead of following the Northwest Passage like they did, he went over land with his car, hence he could "race the roaring Fraser to the sea".
@this_is_patrick Thank you for the clarification on what's going on in the song. I didn't catch onto the fact that the singer is driving.
Beautiful lyrics. Anybody know the original composer(s)?
@@zeldafreak1975 Sant Rogers wrote and sang the song. He is an amazing writer and singer. Listen to his songs.
This has made me so happy - my constant requesting has finally paid off! You guys are so adequately awesome together.
The stepping with each guitar chord change is oddly soothing and helpful for learning the song
I forgot how lovely JD's voice sounds on this one 🥺 adding the Ponies gave the song so much body and gods, it gave me chills. Truly gorgeous
yes yes yes yes yes! Ive always loved "backyard" version you did together- now this is the new one that will play on repeat!
Your last version of this was so good, it is on my "videos that made me cry at least once" playlist.
This one is in fact also on that playlist
Lovely. The first time I heard the Longest was throug this song they sang with the Ponys a few years ago. I had recently discovered the Ponys because I'm from Barcelona too and their lives were amazing. It's so cool that they can join again and make beautiful music no matter how much time has past. Thank you lads! Looking forward to see you live on may in BCN
Hola veí :D
Legendary crossover !!! :)
The live version has been nearly a constant hit since i first discovered it. I'm so happy that you have finally made a proper recording even though the live version also has it's charm :)
Falmouth 2014, this was the first song I ever heard you guys sing. Amazing then, amazing now. Thank you mates.
I discovered you guys about 6 months ago. I’ve been wanting you guys to do The Northwest Passage (my favorite sea shanty) for a while now. You can imagine my thrill when I randomly stumbled on this video. Not only that, but this is my favorite rendition of the song.
If you haven’t heard it already, listen to the Unleash The Archers cover. They’re a heavy metal band from Canada and do a really good job on it.
@@Mr_T_Badger
Way ahead of you. Great rendition. They did the impossible and made a heavy metal sea shanty sound awesome.
@@devenburkhart6201 Colm McGuinness does good covers of it too.
Um....guys....its not a sea shanty. It Contemporary Folk. Its a terrific version but if you haven't heard the original Stan Rogers version, you haven't heard the song. Gonna go check out the metal version now. :)
@@Seamstrix I grew up on Stan Rogers so I have indeed heard it. 😊
After watching The Terror, I somehow love this song even more than I did before.
Yes! Basically every since I first heard it your guys' version has been my favourite version of this song (It may be blasphemous, But I think I might honestly like it more than Stan's original), Getting not just another recording of this but a full collab album is amazing!
This song will be played at my funeral. Stan is gone but will never ever be forgotten.
This song will forever remind me of my Senior year of high school. It ended almost a year ago.
This is beautiful. I loved the joint version you did a few years ago and this tops it. I´ll be singing this all day
This is gorgeous. So heart rending.
waiting, another longest pony musical reunion.
Esperando otra reunión musical.
This should be the next community project
love the little jiggle of the pony's belly hahahahahaha so majestic
Loooongest pony! The title of album spoke truth! I love the execution in every song video ❤ this is my favorite song, its so emotional and tranquil for me. Thank you! 😊
Such a severely underrated song.....Stan Rogers was truly gone before he was truly appreciated
This is one of the rare instances where the Studio performance equals the live performance!
one of my favorite songs and yall absolutely killed it!
Let’s go! Stan Rogers is my hero
So stoked you guys were finally able to make this happen. Thank you for making my day so much brighter.
Supremely rendition! You do Stan Rogers justice ❤
Truly a classic done very well. ❤
Superb!! Thanks for recording this!!
My favorite thing to do with this song is start by listening to the acapella intro of Stan Rogers' version before transitioning into the intro of this one. Bliss
Stunning! ❤
Stan Rogers left us too soon
This is so great, but I am also entirely hypnotised by the dang pony...it's so long...
High risk, gentlemen. This is my favourite sea shanty (in the broad sense of the term) so... better do it justice ;)
And justice was done. Nicely done indeed.
FINALLY, I've listened to the youtube version for too long, now I can finally listen to is on spotify as well!
More Stan Rogers covers would make me happier for a time even longer than your johns
Beautiful!
We may never again see the likes of dear ol' Stan, but you guys are close...
Wow! This is so good!! ❤
I love this so much!♥
i always loved this song!
I love this shanty! I’m glad you guys have a version of it now.
It means a lot to see the Longest Johns make a cover of a song about Canada's wild and savage lands
I’ve been waiting for this song since I saw the boys cover it in the shrewsbury festival video
Stan rogers would be proud
LOVE all your music. Prefer to see you rather than an illustration, however cute. Thanks for the pleasure of your voices.
Aw yeah, today is a good day
Finally! 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
My parents want me to sing this song at my brother's wedding in June.
Will you do it?
@@dragonhistory5005 absolutely 💯
Did you? 👀
@@2137laura I did, my brother was amazed.
Awesome 😊
Dear Old Stan!
que pony mas largo :3
I have several questions.
❤❤ADEQUATE!❤❤
Love this version. Please try to remember to always credit the song's author
What do you mean? Credit Stan Rogers? Ok, he's dead, so it is kind of a moot point.
Not moot at all. Dead or alive, he still wrote it and copyright is vested with his heirs. Aside from that, it's doing the right thing. Taking credit for somebody else's work by omission, and even if they are dead, is just wrong. It's kinda sad that anyone would not immediately see that@@OR56
Charlie? Is that you?
Shun the non-believer! Shun! Sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!
You're a bridge, Charlie!
It's actually Gazpacho though. But he does look a little like Charlie. Just a tiny bit longer.
@@GrymmSoulI am HERE for your reference 👏👏👏😂
👏🤣👏🤣👏🤣 You guys....
Is the horse named Johns? ;-)
Its name is Gazpacho :)
The hell is this video ❤ second btw
Well, it's a reupload, so 2nd (apart from all those people from 5 hours ago) 😅
...what's with the pony gif?
It's a collaboration between two bands. The Longest Johns + El Pony Pisador = The Longest Pony.
Not bad. RIP Stan Rogers. :(
Dude died trying to save other people, what a hero, too good for this world.
Tracing one warm like through a land so wide and savage
What the heck does warm mean in this context lol? This confuses me a lot. Love the song otherwise!
I love this yet I can't help but think that the drums just don't feel right. No offense to the drummer, it's about the concept. The original video for this cover had no drums and it sounded better imo.
Ynopgnol vs. Longpony
I really enjoy Longest Johns in general, but this is among their worst work.
Covers are hard, especially when you cover an iconic song, but this just feels like a muted version of the original.
The original has passion, this not so much.
{Chorus}
Ah for just one time I would take the Northwest passage
To find the hand of Franklin reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line through a land so wide and savage
And make a Northwest passage to the sea
Westward from the Davis Strait 'twas there 'twas said to lie
The sea route to the Orient for which so many died
Seeking gold and glory, leaving weathered broken bones
And a long forgotten, lonely cairn of stones
{Chorus}
Three centuries thereafter I take passage overland
In the footsteps of brave Kelsey, where his "Sea of Flowers" began
Watching cities rise before me, then behind me sink again
This tardiest explorer, driving hard across the plain
{Chorus}
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking West
