Man, I wish I had your chops. Anyone who has to go out of their way to attempt to find flaws in someone else's work just to make themselves feel better isn't worth your time. Brilliant stuff!
Plot twist: Colm has two identical brothers and all three of them are fabulous at singing, but one harbours a dark secret... ...an addiction for obscure instruments!
That was my absolute first impression from the split screen depending on the sound his face either looks very deep or very light I just love it not to mention he's adorable 💝✌️
I am a former American soldier. I want to personally attest to the odd, but extremely effective moral boost that singing brings. I can only imagine how much more amplified this effect would be, in the naval sector during the days of old. Excellent work!
It wasn’t just for morale, songs were used for timing synchronization amongst the crew. That’s also why armies would have drummers on the field, to keep timing for the troops. It’s also why soldiers are made to belt out during marching orders.
Sailor here. Yep, they're for synchronizing effort. Most shanties are either "hauling" or "capstan". Shanties like Roll Boys and Drunkin' Sailor are haulers used to aid in collective pulling events like raising sail, hauling in jackstays, or straining bow, stern, and spring lines. Randy Dandy-O is a capstan shanty used for an event that requires a constant effort like weighing anchor where the anchor chain in on a capstan.
@@joaquinmccurty4762 you are of course correct, Devil Dog. I word it this way only because I was only in for 13 years, so I can't say I'm retired... but yes, you are 100% correct. Thanks for saying so.
Saaaame, omg. I keep sending my boyfriend links because the covers make me so excited, conveniently forgetting that it was my boyfriend who told me about Colm in the first place. 😂
Incredible. As a former sailor myself ( RCN ) there is something almost mystical in how you present this song. Listening to it I can almost taste the salt on my lips and feel 'er heeliin over with the roll.

In less than 2 minutes you changed my day, your voice is amazing, incredible bass, harmony and arrangement for each voice, and the different intonation in some frases really make it stand out. Thank you again.
I just discovered you today, and literally the first thing I did was whip off my headphones, wilde-haired and eyed, and shoved them at my wife all, "YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THIS GUY'S VOICE OH MY GOD"
I have such an extensive playlist of your shanties for my pirate DnD campaign, but this one is the one my players legit took out their RP and sang along for the entire thing. Needless to say, Inspiration for everyone.
@@ColmRMcGuinness Plan: Tweet that to Matt Mercer and the guys from Sea of Thieves (or any pirate related media, really) and play a Bard. Make my dreams come true! :D
I never thought I'd have to do this, but I'm going to have to make a Colm McGuinness Sea Shanty playlist just so I don't have to keep a dozen tabs open just to play all of the songs. Loving these sweet harmonies! Also, you look mighty fine today!
Jesus christ. Everytime I come back to this channel, I forget just how DEEP his voice can go. Was he born with it or did he train himself to go that deep?
Boy! You absolutely need to sing acapella more! Your voice is just INCREDIBLE! Thank you so so much for making me enjoy a shanty so much! Sending you all the love! Stay safe and have a great rest of the week!
I saw a few days ago that you had covers of sea shanty's from Assassins Creed 4 Black Flag and I had to listen to them, I had just gotten Assassins Creed 4 and love it!
All of your songs are my autistic son's favorite thing in the morning. We sit in the car and wait for the school bus and he jams out. Thanks so much for your amazing songs
Never heard this one before, but I love it! The harmonies just slay me every time! Love the song, love the energy, and love the tangerine shirt! Keep'em coming!
I searched up and down for this guy doing a rendition of “Shallow Brown”. It seems like he gravitates towards the more melodic shanties and Shallow Brown is melancholically melodic. I would literally commission him to do it. If you’re reading this Colm, that’s a genuine offer.
Wow! You are amazing! Usually I'm a little more articulate but your presentation is so clean and strong, I'm just hitting repeat over and over. Thank you!
@@OdysseyFox Yeah, I'm still playing through Valhalla and really enjoy it. I also like origins. For some reason I didn't really like Odyssey though, not sure why. Valhalla is great so far though.
I remember when my SO played through this game *constantly* This is one of the shanties that I would find myself humming and so confused where I knew it from! There are one or two more--but I wouldn't know them by name.
Ok no joke, I hated this shanty in Black flag, but now you put bass in it and just POP!!! I could listen to an Extended play of this for like 10 hours easily as I do my own work. Fair play to ya man!
Well, in fairness, it kind of adds to that realism. I know that is a lofty thing to say about Assassin's Creed. Yet you do not expect every sailor to be able to hold a tune perfectly. It adds in that part that the crew are all unique characters and they sing because it passes the time and also builds friendship among the crew. Though bonus points for the guy who can play a fiddle or any instrument.
"Sally Brown she likes a good scrumpy. Way hay, we roll and goooO! Yeah she likes a bit of the rumpy pumpy. Way hay we roll and gooO!" is from a Droughnauts song
More than likely uses some kind of machine. If you think his range is au naturale it is no single person had a range that big. Now he very likely is a baritone with an impressive range. He just does some post singing editing and boom another octive lower. I over simplify but that's basically it.
Thank you so much for making these sea shanties. I needed some good ones for a DnD game I'm running soon, and with it sounding like 3 distinct people it fits perfectly with a Trio of traveling bards. Their group name is the Golden Guinness and they are Colin, Bolin, and Golin (Human, Half-elf, and halfling).
its been 7 years since ive heard this, and yet i can sing along like ive heard it yesterday.. that 100% achievement completion i got on my 360 have made its marks it seems
I gotta give you props for nailing he timbre of shanties my guy, it's rare to hear that conviction out of a musician. I can't listen to most tik-tok era shanties because they are either so overly vocal-trained or just too nervous and they always end up holding something back in the very back of their register, and it loses that roughness that makes a shanty worth listening to. Been a while since I heard someone who wasn't a salty old working man nail a shanty quite right.

This brings me back to the good old days on the "Jackdaw"
Ubisoft needs to remaster black flag just to have this man sing the shanties
those were good days captain. Yarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ☠
Aaah yes, the jackdaw. A fine ship, fast, nimble and could sting very evil. I miss that lady
Every last scrap of duck on the wind!!

Everytime Colm uploads a sea shanty I find myself having a new favorite shanty
You should listen to Sean Deager. He is an actual shantyman. He has a lot of them, and actually explains their history and meaning.
Same.

I definitely try to leave a fair amount of tonal difference between all 3 sections, while still sounding like 'me'.

recommendation: A song not traditionally sung low, but could sound REALLY good low, Wayfaring Stranger, most known for being featured in 1917
Please.
I heard one fellow sing it low once at a bar, never got his name, and wish I had recorded it. Sounds amazing.
I'll second that. But paul robeson, tennessee ernie ford, and johnny cash all sang it, so I wouldn't say that it's not traditionally sung low.

this is the most amazing vocal range ive ever heard, great job!
Each of your songs is like a barrel of joy that goes straight to the heart!
Damn that low register. Nuts dude!
Ah, the good old memories of ramming ships with recklessness as this song played in the background. I really hope AC4 gets a remastered version.
haha! brings me back to my time on ship when we passed through a storm in the Pacific!
It's crazy that since playing black flag for the first time all those years ago would kickstart all the sea shanty popularity
That bass voice made me transcend humanity
If you did a cover of Loreena mcKennits the wind that shakes the barley. It would be epic.
As someone who sails in Trinidad and Barbados we sometimes blast your shanties well out at sea
I need this on repeat.... like forever
That bass is so deep. The Kraken woke up to sing along. I hope it wants to sing along....
I love that this song is just one big euphemism
How... Just how is it possible to have this much clean vocal range?
Record bass in the morning. Record highs in the afternoon after lots of tea. My highs are definitely my weakest point

Wonderful performance and song, thanks for introducing me to another (new to me) shanty.
Brings me back to the good times on the sea
That. Was. Extremely. Powerful.
You should collaborate with Sean Deager, I think he did the shanties for AC 3 and 4
Sean is the man! I'd be so down to do anything with him or Nils Brown!
That sounds much better than the Original version . It has more sound! Sounds more beautiful.
Colm's sea shanty covers make me want to buy a pirate ship & sail the seven seas as I play them! Lauren too! Lol.
