If you four sang a rock/metal version of The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything I think that would be pretty much the greatest thing ever.

This has been done by a christian metal band a few decads back. The album was a collab called veggie rock. but id love to hear them do it
Wow! That's an excellent idea! Please do!
i have been saying this on his posts for over a year!!!
Cosign
Bro Colm hitting those high notes like a champion in his verse. JESUS CHRIST THAT IS TALENT!
Original song: slightly slow dirge about a crew going through some of the most dangerous waters in the world
This cover: WE'RE SLAPPING ROCKET BOOSTERS ON THIS SHIT AND F I G H T I N G THAT PASSAGE.
Unleash the Archers has a great cover of it too(and how I first heard the song). [Also, it's about driving, not sailing]
" crew going through some of the most dangerous waters in the world"
It's about driving (specifically, west across Canada) and regretting you weren't able to be an explorer, getting to the end of the trip, and finding there's nothing further to do except drive home the way you came.
Fam there's multiple references to driving a car, its not even from the POV of sailors
@@RyuFelinshire Unleash the Archers is an absolute top tier banger
@@evilspoons I mean. It IS about driving west across Canada. And yes, there are other explorers name dropped. But the Franklin expedition is very much the main metaphor. Like. that's a pretty significant thing that happens in the song.
Too early to explore space, to late to explore the world, too young to travel, too old to change. This song reminds us that one of our primal needs is to travel. The song itself eventually thanks the men who explored the Canadian wilderness, using what was laid out before them. Perhaps there will come a day where people can explore space and come up with our own shanties, finding our own Northwest passage among the stars. But until that day, people like Jon, Caleb, Colm, Richaad will continue to inspire our imaginations
The Ocean is still largely unexplored 🛥
Four years in a row, this man has been my most listened to artist on Spotify 😅
He's consitently in my top 5
lol me too. He was #1 on my spotify wrapped this year...and Galactikraken was #5 😅
Same
There’s more people like me out there 🥲
3 years for me! i was in the top 0.02% this year XD
This isn’t just an amazing rock cover of a shanty. This is the anthem of explorers born in an era where every corner of the map has already been filled in.
Born too late to explore the planet. Born too soon to explore the cosmos.
@@TheMdnghtShadowThere's always the ocean floor.
@@augustuslxiiior expedition caving...
@@infernalcontraptions8648 or the parts of the Pacific no one but the Fijians, Tongans, Nauruans, et al care about
Or the Amazon
This was deleted from Spotify and my playlist and immediately started to panic because this is such a beautiful cover it saddened me to see it disappear from my playlist. I’m so glad it’s still around to enjoy. Please don’t delete it !
So it’s not just me! I’m so angry, I hope it gets added back!
I came here for the same reason
Dude same!!! Bring it back 😭😭😭
Came for the same reason
Spotify cannot handle this much awesome.
Here's an idea to consider: you guys should start your own animated cartoon about your pirate characters going on adventures on the high seas featuring all of your covers (perhaps the ending song to each episode to set us up for each adventure). I bet it would be a HIT!
I cannot stress enough how fantastic your harmonies are. The combined power of your sea voices is always a pleasure to hear
Those high notes in the chorus🔥🔥🔥
i lost my fucking SHIT when my buddy shared this in our discord music channel. unleash the archers is in my top 3 metal bands and this song is etched into my god damned soul
but you guys
SLAYED
EVERY PART GAVE MY GOOSEBUMPS
IT'S 9AM AND MY NECK/CHEEKS ALREADY HURT
ALSO JONATHAN YOUR VOCALS PEAK SO FUCKING HARD RIGHT AFTER 3 MINUTES
CHRIS ON A STICK THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO START MY DAY
THANK YOU, NEVER CHANGE
RIIIIGHT?! Between Unleash the Archers and this one, I'm beginning to believe it's impossible to do a BAD metal cover of this song!
Unleash the Archers was my top listened to Artist last year. My playlist consisted of 5 songs. Cleanse the Bloodlines, Faster Than Light, Awakening, The Matriarch, and Northwest Passage. That band single handedly inspired my whole homebrew DnD campaign. I am never not in the mood to listen to this song on repeat for hours. Jonathan Young and friends
knocked it out of the park.
Do yourself a favor and check out Dan Vasc's cover of this song it's fantastic as well
Unleashed the Archers is a cover version of Stan Roger's original. Put some respect on his name.
Please don't ever quit making those sea shantys!
Every single on up to now gave me goosebumps.
And they are getting better and better!🎉
Seconded!
I don't think anyone can take the crown from Brittney Slayes singing this (Unleash the Archers), but it still makes my Canadian heart soar! Fantastic job and rendition!
Canada approves 🇨🇦
Your'e absolutely right! UTA does the best metal version, but man alive is this great too!
Agreed, her power is unmatched, but this cover is great !
Agreed
I cry pretty much every time I listen to Slayes version.
Maybe I've listened to too many of Jonathan's Disney metal covers, but this gives me vibes of like an animated adventure movie in the same vein as The Road to El Dorado or Treasure Planet, except about an expedition to the north pole.
- The first guy is the reasonable but stern captain who's leading the voyage.
- The second guy is the 20-something protagonist singing about how he wants to leave his port city hometown and explore the world on one of the ships he sees every day.
- The third guy is the captain's laid-back Number One who's friendly with the crew and always in good humor. He has a tragic backstory, but never lets it get him down. He helps the protagonist adjust to living on a ship when he first comes aboard and becomes his mentor figure.
- The fourth guy is the bittier hardass who's spent his entire life trying to find the Northwest Passage and failed, who initially buts heads with the protagonist but slowly learns to be less cynical over the course of the movie.
Go watch "The Terror" (2018) and see for yourself!
I wanna CRY at Jonathan's GORGEOUS HARMONY SCREAM at the end!! Matt Heafy must be so proud 😭😭😭
I don't know if it's intentional, but the "Hand Of Franklin" makes me think of the doomed Franklin Expedition.
That's because this song was written about that expedition!
@@RaventailBlacktalon Yeah, the Franklin Expedition, did NOT end well.
The song is a direct reference to the people who explored Canada. David Thompson, Alexander Mackenzie, Sir John Franklin, and Henry Kelsy (notably Stan Rogers got his name wrong in the original lyrics and called him "Kelso", whoops!).
I didn't know you guys were so Canadian! Awesome rendition!
They're not. Colm is Irish and the rest of them are American
@@Emil_Stoltz The Northwest Passage (the physical location) is associated with Canada, hence Alex's comment. The writer of the original sea shanty was also apparently Canadian, by the name of Stan Rogers.
@@heartoffire5902apparently seems a bit understated, from what I've heard he's a national treasure up there.
@@Emil_Stoltz They're all honorary Canadians after making this cover.
@@Sigil_Firebrand Fait enough
Unleash the archers's take on this song cannot be beaten, but this one is absolutely legendary! Phenomenal job!! ❤🔥🔥
*resumes headbanging*
Yes it can. Stan's version remains unmatched. Unleash The Archers killed it though.
This song sets the explorer in my soul ablaze.
This is unironically something to just vibe out to while you gather and drink with friends, sea shanties in general are but ESPECIALLY this
it already makes you feel like youre singing along with an entire crew
you all did a great job!
Holy canola oil! How do I keep finding you on good stuff like this?! It's like... the universe is sending me a message... 😲 *puts tinfoil hat on*
@@ShwappaJ :3
A cover worthy of such a great song!
I JUST found these shanty covers last night and set them to repeat while working my shift. Thank you for these, they are all incredible.
Love you guys singing sea shanties together
This hits the soul. Don't ever stop
Thank you for covering this most precious piece of Atlantic Canadian culture and doing it every bit of justice it deserves.
It's not quite the song Stan sang, but it's everything I'd hoped from an ensemble cover done in this style.
Stan was taken far too soon, but I appreciate that his legacy lives on through covers like these.
Stan's life wasn't taken from him, he gave it to try and save others when that plane landed in flames. He probably would've regretted it to this day if he didn't at least try.
@@moblinmajorgeneral It was taken by the vicissitudes of fate. His choices were in an attempt to save others, certainly, but that doesn't change that life was far to short for a man as wonderful and talented as he.
That's made my birthday complete - thanks, Jonathan 👍😘 Love these metal shanties!
Yes! The whole crew is just sublime. Thanks for another great addition to my pirate metal playlist lads! 💕
Always a treat to see the polished version of songs you developed on stream
Holy crap I've never heard Colm sing with that intensity before.
The vocals on this one go crazy! Awesome job, thanks for making my day better with the fantastic music :D
This is wonderful. Always here for Sea Shanty Metal
YOOOO I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR THIS YEARS FOR THIS COVER, I AM A VERY HAPPY CANADIAN RN
The chorus when everyone sings is what gets me with these songs absolutely fucking love it
This is my lullaby, helps me control thoughs and calm down
I didn’t think Stan Rogers could probably be improved upon, but then again, I didn’t think Dickens could either until I saw A Muppet Christmas Carol. Good job, boys!
And i thought unleash the archers KILLED THIS... AND THEN JOHNATHAN RELEASED THIS YESSSSSSS
Why is this song no longer on Spotify:/?
Please give us more of this. Y'all rocked it. ❤
I like how all of them are drawn with historic clothes and then Colm is still in his sweater.
Please never stop with sea shanties. Hell, I would love to see an original composition. These songs are timeless.
Freaking epic cover guys!
One of my favourite songs from Rogers by my favourite youtube singers, this is incredible!
The way i immediately thought of Unleash the Archers- ❤ this is wonderful.
(Psssst i think y'all should cover some UTA.)
This is a great collaboration. Love the individual voices as well as the harmonies.
Considering I just started watching The Terror, the timing on this is uncannily appropriate. Fantastic cover guys, you added that extra metal energy without losing any of the warmth of the original
Oooh, The Terror is a great show!
The Terror? Where can I see this show/movie?
@@drunkdogwithagun468 We bought DVDs on Amazon. That was the only way I could find to watch it.
Are we brothers, neocounttarrant?
@@drunkdogwithagun468DVD, Amazon Prime, Acorn. The IMDB website includes where shows can be seen.
Why is this not available on Spotify?
This was my most played song this past two weeks on Spotify, but it seems to have gone off Spotify 😭
Some of those notes you boys are hitting! Amazing job, guys!
This is beyond art. Thank you all four
Well hell, now I have TWO awesome metal versions of this song on my playlist!
YES! This is the shanty I've been waiting for! Thank you and awesomely done!
This was absolutely incredible. Hat's off to you boys and thank you for making my day with this❤❤
I see this is inspired from Unleash the Archers cover of the song! I love it! Keep the Shanties alive!!!
Oh good, I'm not the only thinking about them :)
Actually the bands name is Unleash the Archers. Just listened to it when I saw this comment
@@kristencawker2582 I hate autocorrect sometimes lol
I definitely popped when I saw this on my feed. Excellent job to you all!
Epic & beauty united.
My spotify rewind 2024 will only have this song, please get it back up :(
criminally good! outstanding cover!
These are always a vibe, love it, and great job everyone involved!
My cheek hurts because this song slaps HARD. Great job as always!
Another amazing sea shanty! Perfect combination of voices.
THIS IS MY JAM. Good job, great cover!
Ahhh I love this, was just sharing your music last night and now I get to freak out to my friends "Hey check out this metal version of my favorite Canadian folk song!"
Easily my favorite Stan Rogers song. I saw this and INSTANTLY liked. Excellent work.
This will
Forever live in my mind as the day this song released (yesterday) snow started falling and, it barley ever snows here, so il forever see this song while pushing through a snow blocked town
Genius
Absolutely awesome
If Stan Rogers were still alive he would approve of this rendition I feel. Thank you for keeping his music alive
Another absolute banger :D
You guys always make the best metal shanties!
Great as always. I love your shanties!
Definitely the best song for driving across Canada.
The last minute is gosh darn epic!
This is bloody awesome
Let's fucking GOOOOOOOO! Ever since Colm released his cover of this song (specifically the newer one, I found out later he had an older one too), it was an instant favourite of mine and was stuck in my head for almost a month. I literally gasped for joy when I opened my RUclips feed and saw this, and it was well-deserved. Absolutely phenomenal performance, gentlemen!!
I just heard the first 10 seconds and already love it!
Solid work as usual!
I appreciate the passionate performance. Well done.
This is absolutely incredible man, I've prob got more Jonathan Young music on my playlist than any other artist at this point. The man is a musical force of nature.
I LOVE THIS. And you dropped it in time for a road trip I'm taking tomorrow. Thank you gentlemen!
Banger!
so good
My absolute favorite Stan Rogers song! Great job!
This is simply incredible. I'm so glad you started doing shanties.
Nice art and nice song!
Captures the spirit of going west.
THESE SEE SHANTY’s ARE SO AWESOME
Glorious
I love how Caleb is the one missing an eye. Or maybe he's just wearing that eyepatch because it looks cool. Or maybe it's so he can have nightvision in that eye when he moves the patch to the other eye when it's dark. lol
This was amazing
This song makes me want to start driving north and not stop until I hit Hudson Bay.
While I love the Archers version of this song, your cover is by far my favorite. The vocals are excellent as always, but what really sets it apart for me is the orchestral style. The horns and strings create this feeling of majesty that embodies the poetry and meaning of Stan Rogers’ lyrics
Fucking awesome! 🤘☠️🤘 Can't wait for this to come out on Spotify!
Oh my god this fucking rules, nailed it lads.
one of my absolute favorite songs ever since Unleash The Archers covered it. absolutely loved it and is giving me study motivation rn! 🤘 you guys are the best
Great video
The senses of exploration and legacy are inspiring, thank you!
Sick
Holy crap -- who did those soaring highs? Caleb? Colm? Bad ass song and STILL those stood out. Crazy energy.
Pirate metal is love. Pirate metal is life.
I live for shanty metal!
First time hearing this. I've never ever heard the original and this has me in tears.
Incredible cover
