    Couple points:
    1) Malinda is never early or late. She arrives precisely when she means to.
    2) The ad for Hello Fresh is the best and they should buy it from you.

    Great version ;) Fun fact: This is a sea ballad from New Zealand from c. 1860-70. The song refers to the "wellermen", being the supply ships owned by the Weller brothers, who were amongst the earliest European settlers of Otago (South Island, New Zealand). The supply ships would bring the sugar, tea, rum, spirits, tobacco and clothes that made up the "wages" for the crew.

    Had the bright idea to go through every Wellerman upload on RUclips. Ended up here. Noticed that (so far) out of all the covers I’ve came across, you actually nailed the “HUH” quite beautifully.
    Other than that I love your voice. Found myself almost in a trance.
    Gonna have to go check out HelloFresh now too.

    Malinda has been helping me a lot. I can't get into my therapist for a month and my mental health is falling apart. It is destroying me from the inside out. Something that happens almost daily is that I get a panic attack and I get overwhelmingly stressed from everything I or anyone else does. Malinda a music always calms me down almost instantly and helps my when I'm thinking about doing the worst. Thank you Malinda for helping keep my feet on this earth.

      I find that watching kitten cams helps me to relax. It is funny how watching sleeping kittens, (and they do sleep a LOT), can reduce my stress level so well!
      One cam I watched here on youtube is Club Smoosh, owned by Sarah Donner who like me has depression and she uses the cam to help with her own depression and her band (Kittens Slay Dragons), dragons being a nickname for depression helps to promote awareness. Well worth watching and there is chat with others who also have depression.
