can you be nostalgic for a sea life you never lived
I don’t know but I think I am feeling it
Of course
My name sake is a sailer who died in WW1 so yes
Y E S
It's your soul crying out for an age of exploration you never got to experience. We approach another into the stars, but we won't experience that one either. Best we can do is make this age a damn good staging ground.
Or at least that's it for me, might be something else for y'all.
*weeps uncontrollably*
PLEASE sing Fighter by Kana Boon !!!
IKR this song was so beautifully done right!?
@@jonathanymusic I freaking love your voice man! Been a huge fan of you and caleb for 5 years now! Wishing both of you the best in all your musical endeavors!
If you want a good sea song do daughter of the sea.
Imagine a collab with The Longest Johns and Jonathan
Yes
I would say no to that as Jonathan always had a "epic" voice which is dominating and it doesn't work with his covers
I dont think him and Longest John's voices would work together
The longest Jonathan
YES DOUBLE JONS
Let’s make this happen
As someone who was a sailor/commercial fisherman from 8-18, while these songs are amazing, we were always too busy screaming at each other in rage or jest to sing. That or eating things like eggs, bacon and toast. it was a tough life, so it's weird to see it romanticized this much now a days. If you wanna know how tough it was, well, everyone I grew up alongside fishing, the older folks, they're all dead. It's intensely laborious, so when your body is not constantly being worked like that and in shape, it breaks down. At 29 I have to walk with a cane and use a cochlear and glasses. As for the whole "if you eat fish, thank a fisherman" thing, don't bother, we don't do it for thanks, we do it because we love it and want to share with you, the money just helps us do it better.
On the other hand, when ships truly relied on sails, sometimes the crew had nothing better to do than to sing if the wind was calm. My great-grandfather, a German sailor, would force his daughters to sing along with him on their little sailboat if the breeze was lazy 🤣
Sir, your comment is one of the most penetrating statements I have read; especially when combined with the sorrowful tone of Jonathan's vocals. Life is tough for many, and success does not happen by accident, despite people trying to "sell" us the fantasy of such. Dreams must be earned but only few have the patience and determination to overcome the weariness that inevitably accompanies the more difficult paths in life. May you find comfort and relief during the tough times.
"There are -two- three means of refuge from the miseries of life: music, -cats- hugs (and) mint chocolate."

Well... It's only partially about romaticizing things. Shanties were in fact sung aboard ships in the 19th century because they were used to coordinate work efforts. The shanty of this video, Leave her Johnny, was typically sung when pumping dry a ship in port after a longer voyage before the crew would leave it whereas the popular Drunken Sailor was used to coordinate rope hauling.
@@darthplagueis13 a catchy song is a good way to keep time and has been forever. Steel makers in India used to sing songs to keep up the timing to make what we know as Damascus steel.
They're not romanticizing modern shipping, but rather the Age of Sail, where these shanties originated.
I love that Sea Shanties have become popular again in the past decade.
Dude same
Same here
I have the Jolly Rogers on my regular playlist and others.
I blame Assassin’s Creed
I was just thinking that!!
THE YEAR OF THE SEA SHANTY BE UPON US, MATEYS
YAA YOO YA YO!
DREAMIN!...
Ngl, I kinda want the bardcore of last year to either comeback or for shantycore to become a thing. Like I want to hear someone turn Sugar We're Going Down into a shanty about a captain who goes down with his ship
@@nykoelasmanning6643 wait are you talking about rock music acoustics done with medieval instruments. If so I loved those
@@jedi-rl1hq That plus there was a few were people actually made the lyrics fit the era
@@nykoelasmanning6643 yeah in the comments section of the videos I found those really cool
"In a world without gold, We could have been heroes!"
"THATCH!"
RIP, Thatch.🫡🍻
Going through the comments, what gets me is how it affects people in different but similar ways. The lyrics are clearly describing the melancholy and mixed emotions of ending a voyage, but many people here are talking about ending toxic relationships and when friends inevitably depart. Music is so powerful it can touch people in so many ways.
And its kinda the same too, feeling sad or doubting if you should leave the relationship or friends because of the journey you been through with these people.
If you sing a song to 65 thousand people, they'll sing it back to you for 65 thousand different reasons.
So so true
I think it hits hardest when the feeling is of leaving someone you’re not sure you should have left, but you did it anyway because you thought you knew best and now you question it every day. The end of a voyage I think can be described in many ways as you have alluded to.
Music tells a story. Sometimes it needs lyrics to tell that story and other times it doesn't. However I believe that music does something more. That music is sound obviously but it's more than that. Because the emotions that it causes are echoes balancing off the shape of the soul of the person hearing every person every soul is a little bit different. And so it will in general have kind of the same effect but it'll also reverberate differently because it's the the shape of the soul it's bouncing off of is different for each person
"Oh Edward...everyone's gone, aren't they? Mary, Rackham, Thatch. And all the rest. I miss them so, rough as they were. Do you feel that too? All empty inside, like?"
*softly*
"Don't..."
Youre sad, not me.
*silence*
Damn you, Mary. Why did you died?! :(
This is trying to wiggle open a memory door but I'm not sure which one. What is this from?
@@michaeljohnson5167 Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
@@mushmonkey15 oh. Haven't played any AC games yet, plan to eventually. This sounded like a quote from some childhood movie for some reason
The year is 2013
You sail on the Jackdaw with your trusted first-mate Adewale and tell the crew to sing while you explore the Caribbean. The wind’s at your back and adventure is ahead.
Life is good
Then everything changed when Jack fucking Sparrow attacked-
Then everything changed when Shay killed everyone
Uh...2013?
Then that fucker shay shanked adewale
@@jstarstudios7110 Not you "Edward", literally YOU the player, the year Black Flag released.
This former sailor legit cried a little listening to this.
Beautiful job, Jonathan.
"Look at me Johnny. Women are temporary but the sea is eternal."
You realize "she" in this context is the ship that Johnny had been working at?
@@darthplagueis13 Well if that boat was nothing but trouble to Johnny I can see the shanty's point.
@@Mate397 That's a song that was typically sung at the end of a voyage, as a goodbye to the ship "her" from the sailors "Johnny"
@@Mate397 Leaving a ship is hard too. Most languages refer to ships as people for a reason.
Sailors are a superstitious lot, and ships with their odd quirks, that one problem you can't find the source of, the way they seem to pull through squalls they shouldn't, or hold together until their crew has all left, it's not hard to see them as people.
Everyone is temporary, not just women.
Jonathan’s non-metal songs are starting to become some of my favourites. Love the clean voice
Agreed. That + I'm not into metal.
Ok look yeah but that doesn't mean that I don't like the other ones those make my soul calm because sometimes I'm like an angry monster who wants to kill everyone and he is just......... The angle who tells me to relax 🧖♂️👹
Black Flag was such a great game, I loved the characters and the shanties, especially the shanties.
This is one of those songs that holds a dear place in my heart, and you made a beautiful cover of it Jonathan.
Thank you.
Lowlands Away, was also a good one.
@@ashbjrnson4133 Absolutely, my favorite ones were Drunken Sailor and The Dead Horse.
100 % yes! Black Flag is easily one of my favourite assassins creed games, and the shanties were the best part! Drunken Sailor and Leave Her Johnny were my favourites
@@ashbjrnson4133 yesss
Going back to the game, sailing the seas while remembering the game ending and memories of that time period. Ah the nostalgia of simple times
Moral of the story: embrace every moment of life, the good and the bad, because one day it will come to end, and that's what makes the voyage of life worth living.
good and bad are both defined by you, as your own person. good is better than normal. bad is worse than normal. your normal is whatever happens to you most often. to live passionately is to really REALLY feel and embrace both the good, and the bad, because normal is boring.
Sometimes I forget that Jonathan can do other things than sing loudly and play drums, and then we get videos like these and I'm reminded. We stan a soft, multi talented man
Jesus, I just finished playing assassins creed: Black Flag for today only to be met with this?
Maybe it’s a sign...
I started replaying it yesterday and just finished playing it for the night, so damn weird 🤣🤣
I think the high seas are calling ya
Join us brother, we set sail soon
Black Flag's ending cut me to the bone, was really sad and I cant' imagine going from the end of the game straight to this. Probably be in tears thinking of Thatch, Kid, fuck all of em.
A sign to become a pirate?
This was my favorite shanty from AC4: Black Flag
Yes
come on more than drunken sailor? no way
@@thespider7869 too popular, it was a nursery rhyme in my school growing up
never actually played AC4 but my favourite shanty that was in AC4 is Randy Dandy-O
@@safebox36 same here dude, by the time Black Flag came out it was the least interesting song out all of them and the others *vastly* outshone it
My fiancé left my side to go to the US and make a better life for us in october. I don't know when I'll be able to join him, and in 8 years together, the last few months have been the hardest.
This cover makes me cry, reminding of when I said goodbye to him at the airport. I miss him every minute and my heart breaks every day.
Thank you for making this deeply moving music.
And suddenly, all at once, my mind fell quiet, visions of waves across my thoughts as though I stood atop the Dover Cliffs waiting for someone I'd never met to return home...
I never get tired of that voice...
Hey, I was JUST listening to Sea shanties.
Was it perhaps by The Longest Johns?
Yoooooo same
SOON MAY THE WELLERMAN COME
@@waynet.4549 Why yes it was.
same
Man, you know Johnny Depp's friends were probably singing this to him everyday.
Hahaha, Ikr?
On the way to work this morning, I played this song in the car. It made me reminiscent for some time in the past, although I couldn't quite place it at first. It was a better time, where things were simpler, straight-forward, and easy. Obviously, my first thought after realising that was childhood. I had a fairly average one, with nothing to complain about; it certainly fit the description, anyways.
Now we skip ahead to after my shift, on the way home. I find out that my grandfather has passed away this morning.
My parents had divorced in 2020, and it left me on not-so-good terms with my father. Quite honestly, while I don't want anything to do with him, I love both his mom and his dad. My grandmother passed away in 2019, and with none of my father's siblings being in the picture, my grandfather was the last tie I had to that side of my family. The very last words I spoke to him were saying that I would see him again, but I never had. I had one more month and twenty-eight days until I had my license. My bitterness towards my father has caused for me to not see him that last time while alive.
I need to attend his funeral to see him once more and say goodbye, but my father is the only means I have to getting there. I've decided that I won't let my hatred prevent me from seeing my grandfather again, and that I will attend his funeral. This song now means so much more to me than it had this morning. To me, this song isn't about leaving a boat, behind, but more becoming accepting of change, and recognising that those days will never come back. I am utterly stricken by this, but I will surpass this.
When you spend your whole life finding treasure, only to find out that the real treasure was the friendships you built along the way.
This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I’ve heard
"In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!"
I like how at some of the louder parts you hear Jon's metal growl start to shine through a little bit.
This man just earned a whole new respect from me. I already held upmost respect for this man, a musical master. But his utter range in songs is seriously inspiring. Seriously, keep it up man!
AND WE'LL ROLL THE OL CHARIOT ALONG!
Legendary comment! Deserves at least 10k likes.
YEEEEEESS!!!!
AND WE'LL ALL HANG ON BEHIND!
CLEAR AWAY THE TRACK AND LET THE BULLGINE RUN!
A drop of Nelson's blood wouldn't do us any harm.
This one slaps hard because belive it or not we've all been there in our lives
Beautiful and sad. If you need a good cry, here is a great song to bring it out.
I WAS JUST LISTENING TO THIS EARLIER OMG IT'S MY LUCKY DAY
I discovered shanty songs back when i was playing assassins creed black flag, awesome game and songs
I love hearing the softer side of your voice
I didnt know how much i needed this cover until it has been presented to me. I think I am finally satisfied and fulfilled.
This has now officially taken over as my favorite cover. Your shit rocks, man.
Yip, the guys got talent.
In my mind I think it's the third best version of leave her Johnny I've heard being beaten by the version by Kraken shanty band which in turn is beaten by the one by the longest johns and their community
@@emiliskog Love the longest johns. Love listening to their music and watching their streams signing to people playing sea of thieves.
I haven’t clicked so fast in a long time. AMAZING.
Same bro!
So, with a quick look, I saw this was a song for the end of the voyage when the ship was at the docks and everyone was feeling cranky, and it was time to leave Her, the Ship, and go home. Looking at the full song, that does make sense and is fairly clear.
But with the verses here, when I first heard this I thought the Old Man was a metaphor for the sea, calling you to leave Her, your Life at Home on Land.
There was something special about this one for me. Thank you so much, Mr. Young.
I have been annoying my family with this song forever and I love that you did a cover!!! I love that you slowed it, adds a sadness that was brushed past with the original tempo.
A dear friend in music and I met through this song years ago. I heard him singing it while walking through a Celtic festival and I joined in. We nodded and smiled at each other and went our separate ways. Months later our paths crossed again and we've been playing sea shanties and Celtic ballads ever since. All that to say this song is near and dear to my heart. Thank you for a gorgeous cover, sir. Hats off and drinks raised to you and your health.
Can everyone just think and appreciate all the work jonathon has done to bring us these beautiful songs? He plays the drums, guitar AND THE PIANO! Like man, YOU GOT TALENT, practicing all those instruments is insane!
as a man at the age 25, will admit that this cover did make me tear up a tiny bit
Hey, it's ok bro. Emotional men are a thing and there's nothing wrong with that.
This is Jonathan's 'Sound of Silence by David Draiman' moment and i'm here for it
Fuck, this was my favourite shanty in Assassin's Creed Black Flag
Oh same here, absolutely loved it
me sailing in AC:BF just to listen and sing along to the shanties:
The ending where he just kind of sits there and stares off after singing Leave her johnny made me feel all sad. amazing cover!
as a Marine i lived the "Sea LIfe" for 10 years. i have seen every port a man can imagine and some you can not. ive fought in a war on two seperate continents, fought men, loved women, lost friends in combat, studied with scholars, partied with celebrities, fed the poor, and traveled as a homeless man. a life, like a tapestry, is not woven in one day or night. We would sing these "Sea Shanties" while intensely drunk in the Marines.
Remember when assassins creed black flag was the best game ever
Edit:still the best
Still is in my mind got the tat to prove it
Ah, yes, I remember thirty second ago
Has one of the best naval combat in Assassin's Creed
@@SolarWinner2000 It was the best considering it was the first
@@kellerblair2952 AC3 had limited naval combat
Not gonna lie but that was such a Beautiful Cover... godly voice you have there
SEA SHANTIES BY JONATHAN YOUNG!?!!? YES PLEASE!!!
as a commercial fisherman that worked on various boats on the Alaskan sea since i was 5 to 18, this hits deep since i quit to move onto greener pastures
"In a world without gold.. We might have been hero's" 😔✊
Sea Shanties are great, I'm glad to hear so many different takes on the same songs.
I can honestly say you hold my top two favorite arrangements for this song.
Dude I went straight from rockin' out to chillaxin.
Metal or not your music is GOOD.
I swear you have one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard. Your voice is so enthralling. Especially with songs like this! I’ve never heard this song in such a hauntingly beautiful way. It literally made me cry.
Johnny: How do you deal with back acne?
Old Captain: Lever, Johnny, Lever
Tears in my eyes. The nostalgia is real. Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag is easily a top 10 best games ever. Thank you, Johnny Young
I had this song stuck in my head for a week when I played Black Flag after so long. Seeing this made me play it at full volume and remember why I put so much time into sailing everywhere in Black Flag.
OMG YESSSS!!!!
This brought back memories of playing ac4. Brought back memories of happier days. Thank you so much for this man!
I never knew I needed anything more in my life until now!
Something about the way he sings this brings me to tears. He puts so much emotion into it, and the piano is beautiful.
If you had a playlist of these man...I don't think I'd ever stop listening to it
Everyone: "Dude, Edward was so fun to play and I love the sea."
Jonathan Young: "why are they mentioning Edward and some ship, this is a real shanty-"
You mean the assassins creed pirates Guy?
“Leave her Johnny” how we all felt about those JoJo covers that were driving you insane
Beautiful.
Just... Beautiful
In a world without gold, we might have been heroes
.
I love it!
This is a pretty damn nice way to end my birthday
happy birthday bro I hope it's been a good one 😌
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday, and congrats on getting an amazing xmas present from Jonathan XD
Hope your birthday was great!
Happy birthday~!
My god that voice is so relaxing at 2am
I HAVE A MIGHTY NEED.
A NEED FOR MORE JONATHAN YOUNG SINGING SEA SHANTIES.
My God I hope this is like, part of an upcoming album.
What I wouldn't give for some Stan Rogers covers.
Ive been listening to this for the past 4 days its been stuck in my head
If this ain't played at my funeral, I'm gonna join the Flying Dutchman.
I'd like this or Padstow Farewell at mine, and the "Will the Circle be Unbroken" cover from Bioshock Infinite.
Idk how. But you helped me get through a rough patch in my life with this. Thank you.
That's so beautiful ... was not expecting that. Holy cow
The fact that Johnny could be used as a nickname for himself makes me think that he would sing this to himself if he where to get in a breakup.
This is so weird.
I was literally thinking "It would be cool if Jonathan did a cover of Leave her, Johnny"
And now i found this!
Hell yeah.
I was getting tired of the pop/modern rock covers. Unconventional styles of music like this is so refreshing and you seem alot more inspired here which seems to highlight your musical strenghts. Really nice cover
This is beyond beautiful and moving, the tears just keep on falling ❤ thank you for making this
MORE OLD FOLK SONGS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!!!
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper would probably be a great cover
I love that song and I actually heard them play it in concert
I feel like he'd have more fun with godzilla though
I don't think anything of yours has moved me to tears before, but this had me there in the first minute. Beautiful, Jon.
A few weeks ago I was laying in bed at 4 AM listening to sea shanties and this song was my favorite of those, so this was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
This song is such a mood after a rough breakup
"Without gold, we mighta' been heroes!"
"THATCH!"
How beautiful it is...What have you done? I'm crying. 😢😞
AC4 is easily my favorite Assassin's Creed game. It just brings back memories of easier times and fun adventures, so thank you truly for this.
Your voice has such a sweetness to it. I got really emotional listening to this cover. Your range is astounding ❤️
Almost 1 full year later and this song is still very well and beautifully done
Yes and the year of the sea shanty continues!!!!!
I LOVE it when you slow down your normal tempo and energy for songs like this, they always are a treat to listen to.
If I had a lighter, I'd be holding it up in the air while I sway slowly back and forth to this jam
I want a whole album of sea shanties. Please make this happen!
this guys voice is epic
goosebump's coming in 3,2,1...
Some time ago I started watching your Videos and I must say that you surprised me, you have become one of my favorite singers. This song made me drop a tear, I loved it. Keep uploading music please I love what you do
All we need now is him and Caleb teaming up doing "Drunken Sailor"
You need headphones to fully appreciate this, because I melted at the first notes when it was in my ear
Since I was a little girl I've been fascinated with adventure, ships, pirates, sailing away into the sunset .. this just gave me chills ❤ Thankyou
