    Ubisoft needs to hire Peter for whatever Assassin's Creed game they make next. His vocals are worthy of a song that has an opera section surrounded by whatever else they want.

    Love the slower pace, the slight difference in lyrics and pitch from what I've heard before. As someone else said, I can sing along with your bassline and that's fantastic too. Gonna have to listen to the rest of your stuff now ya dang jerk..

    Now THAT was a beautiful arrangement. There’s nothing quite like really close harmonies and an interesting, flowing bass line on sea chanteys. I used to sing that one with my harp at ren faires. Thanks for bringing back some lovely memories.

    I sang it in a tenor key, but you would absolutely crush Aaron Copland’s the Boatmen Song. It’s so whimsical and feel good like this, and with your range and arranging skills I think there would be so much cool stuff within the texture you could play with.
    I was reluctantly classically trained as a tenor but told by all of the other professors/professional singers I worked with that I would be a Verdi Baritone, but my teacher insisted upon training me as a tenor and making me suffer through the Dalla Sua Pace’s of the world when everyone else was saying why don’t you sing Non Piu Andrai, and hearing your low stuff has really made me want to get back into classical lessons and embrace my lower register that I neglected for so long.
    I mean what tenor can hit a D2 everyday?
    I’ve always felt so out of place and I could go on and on, but your music inspires me and makes me want to reevaluate my perception of my range.

Should be a smooth flow through "...winds don't blow and it's time for us to leave her". Shouldn't go up key at "time", should be the same key through and then drop at "her".

      @PeterBarber  3 года назад +1

      I've had zero issues -- it's possible that you can get a "copyright strike" where your content is removed, and if you do it too many times, you get suspended. BUT I've never seen that happen from covers -- usually what happens it RUclips identifies copyright with an advanced algorithm called RUclips ID, and it just means you can't make money from your video, and that the copyright holders can run ads on it and make money from it.

    Great job. Here’s a novel idea, with sea shanties being a thing now go back a generation or two and react to the Clancy brothers, Tommy Makem, the Dubliners or Irish Rovers et al for there renditions. Although it’s not a sea shanty, I’d be interested in your reaction to Liam Clancy’s version of “The Band Played Waltzing Matilda” historical license notwithstanding it’s the most powerful anti war song ever penned imho.
