Lyrics:
I set upon the sea
To search for phantom sails from tales my mum told me
A ghostly galleon filled with gold
She sails alone
No crew, nor captain's guiding hand
Can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
Sun and horizon met
I weighed the anchor, hoisted sails
My course was set
My cutthroat crew conspirin' with the stars our guide
They point the way through perils fraught
And lead us to the one they call The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
Lean left!
Hard right!
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
A mighty tempest grew
The banshee cried, "Turn Back!" but our resolve was true
We pointed bow ahead and shouted, "We'll break through!"
The jaws of hell can't hold us back
There's nothing that can keep us from The Shadow
The winds blew stronger still
The ocean raged against us, tried to break our will
The sirens in the water, thirsty for the kill
Our vessel reelin' to and fro to bear us to the one they call The Shadow
None can keep us from the one they call The Shadow
Lean left!
Hard right!
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll give a fight to all who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
As thunder split the sky
The lightning drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye
A chill ran through me spine as legend came alive
"Avast!", I cried
All hands as we prepare to take the one they call The Shadow
"All hands!"
As we approached her shell
The skies went silent, seas went calm as if by spell
No signs of fight or flight were in her
All was well until I tried to take her helm
Her rigging came alive
She hung my crew before me eyes
She stole my sight and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
She took my eyes and cursed me Captain of The Shadow
Lean left!
Hard right!
Steer clear of her I fear
She'll eat your soul
She'll take your life
Heave, ho!
'Til first light!
She'll claim the souls of those who try to tame The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call The Shadow

I just think it’s horrifying that the lest thing he saw before he lost his eyes was his crew hung up in front of him by the ship he is cursed to be captain of ;-;
Last*
It's amazing
@@Canix1O1You do realize you can edit your comments, right?
Idk how lol
Moral of the story is: "If a wailing ghost tells you to back off... Do so."
And if a ship has a reputation of no one being able to take its treasure and shell, do not engage.
@@_StarlightRose_ Not a ship mate but the unpredictable sea itself.
Especially if this “wailing ghost” happens to be known for knowing when someone will die and only really lets her presence be known to people who will either die soon or someone close to them will die soon
For some reason this brought me back to Warcraft 3 and Arthas 😅😂
the real moral is to not try to conquer your depression or anxiety, just sail around it. or else, the shadow of the helm will take over, all youll know is anxiety/depression while trying to escape it forever. but imma use your ref as mine simplified hehehe
"You can't keep this on repeat all day"
Me: TRY ME!
SAME HERE
someone: "you can't listen to the same song on loop all day for like three days straight"
Me: oh yeah? watch me!
Same
Our honor is to the sea and not to any crown
@@MasterHall117 Aye!
The blowing out of the candle at the end really makes it feel like I was listening to a pirate captain in a quiet pub, and when he finished his tale he reveals he was a ghost all along and vanishes in a cold salty mist that extinguishes all the lights as it blows out the window.
Ooo
@@theoryofpersonality1420Ooo indeed
I agree.
I hope I remember to write this down at a point, because that could be a fun/cool/spooky scene for a d&d session
@@bethanysmith5856 Glad I could inspire something!
My bard sang this in a pirate-themed DnD campaign while we were losing a fight. and the entire crew joined in and barely survived. What a banger!
I don't play dnd or anything but that had to have been epic as hell
I play DnD and I will have to play this during some pirate-themed campaign (or area of campaign)
I am not even joking like 2 days ago from now i made it so a singer sang this song (it might've not been a Pirate DND but it was supposed to be on an assassin by the name of "The Shadow" so i thought this song was perfect
@@Sword-fair enough. I like using it for TTYD. Y'know. Shadow Queen.
Im thinking of having a bard npc sing this in a tavern to start a sidequest
This needs a music video the ominous warning and the story are just too good
Love the PFP
That's something every sea shanty needs. They always need a video to go with it.
@@jakobbates8065 thanks
I agree with you, after listening it once I became completely addicted to the rhythm and melody.
Imagine the mucin vidio it would be awesome if it is made right
"As thunder Split the sky, drew a shape beyond the tempest's eye, a chill ran through my spine as legend came alive." Best line for me
Honestly, agree. This song honestly reminded me of The Odyssey
I agree 👍
1:52 to instantly start boppin’
I agree
Yk i read this post right as that part plays lol and same here
Am I the only one expecting him to look up with either bandaged, missing, or milky eyes when he said she took me sight?
No, I do too.
Same here so mysterious and spooky I love how he shows his face but keeps his eyes hidden
I got chills when he talked about his crew hanging from the rigging. I imagined a flicker, dimming his sight, then he sees his whole crew just hanging there.
It was the hurricane that strung them up. So it could very well fit with a flash of lightening.
I imagine their damned souls are now manning the ship for eternity
I can't stop listening. How the upbeat melody contradicts the story, but conveys a sense of adventure simultaneously, the placement of the candle, the camera angles, the lyrics... it is perfection. I'm an ELA teacher and there is so much to this song. I shared it with my classes today, and they too are in love.
I love teachers who share content with their students!!
What's ELA
@@tyhester4477 English Language Arts
I'm an ELA teacher, too, coming to this song because I told my students they could submit songs for our poetry unit if they could tell me how they connected. A student submitted this as an example of narrative poetry.
His voice is like listening to a book. That same feeling when the words immerse you into the adventure 😍
EVEN BETTER! IT fits PERFECT in to a nautical themed DnD campaign!
@@lazarmarinkovic8486so true the shadow is in my dnd world thank to this
Fr ❤❤❤
He looks like ssundee ngl
As an author currently working on a Pirate themed historical fiction story, this song is perfect motivation. I've been listening to this on repeat as I write and it's fabulous. The dark end fits wholly with the undertones of my story and helps keep me focused. Thank you so very much for the perfect beat to fuel my muse!
CANT WAIT TO READ IT!
This song honestly reminded me of The Odyssey...
I immediately started planning a D&D quest arc based on this song lol
@@rickodsp131Bruuuh literally same XD
I’m gonna need the name of your book when you publish 👀
I like the subtle effect of your eyes being hidden. Any time a character does this in movies or books, it always adds an extra layer of mystery to the scene. Maybe the real reason behind this is simply because you don't want your face fully out there, but I also love all the comments that talk about the possible lore behind hiding your eyes being hidden. Keep up the awesome work.
So, we never see this artists eyes, just a thought, but is that lore?? Do we never see his eyes because he tried to tame The Shadow and it took his eyes?? Just a random thought, don’t mind me 😂😂
The new ghost captain telling his tale for those who dare heed his warning...he then vanishes when they do a double take. A ghostly dream
I think it might be that he lost his eye and is now warning a sailor embarking the same voyage
@@smart3541 oh that sounds even cooler!
I had a lost son goes to fight his mom and lost loosing his eyes in the process making sure no one goes back to fight.
Or maybe it is someone reading a dammed sailors journal
This song is fantastic!
Is this a tale from an old blind captain sitting in a port tavern or alehouse? Or maybe a warning from a ghostly captain trying to save a group of ambitious sailors from a similar fate?
sounds like it could be both. never really thought about it till i read this comment
I think it has to be the second one. It does say that he cursed as captain of The Shadow. I think of it as something like Davy Jones in POTC, where he isn't able to set foot on land or something.
@@roberteisner6280 Was it a She or He doing the curse??? Because you said He and the dude said She...
For my guess I think the first one.
Don't ask questions when I say this:
I know what some ghosts are like.
I may be haunted but does it stop me?
No.
I have nightmares you could call "Death"
You may argue and say I'm a b!tch but hear me out:

@@Eclipse_103 I meant to say he got cursed to be the captain of The Shadow. I didn't notice the typo, thanks for pointing that out.
i imagine it was sorta the first, but its a fresh pirate who came to him, he told the story. then after the new pirate asks how he knew the tale, the captain smiles as he vanishes into thin air
Y'all! This song is so good that I had it playing in a tavern in my D&D campaign. I brought this song to life and now "The Shadow" is something my players are off to try to tame! They thoroughly enjoyed it! Thanks for sharing your gift with us in the world!
Most would know how it ends, but I'm rooting for the crew to tame "The Shadow."
They heard how it ends and they still want to go check it out! I’m rooting for them too! Lol
Good luck on your players!
I just set my DM a screenshot of your message
What a fantastic idea!
Let me know how it goes once y’all run it!!
Now I want to see a series or an animation based off this song
Don't worry I got you covered I'm planning a whole entire animation 👍🏻
@@Amethyst_the_rain_night nice looking forward to it
@@Amethyst_the_rain_night pls tell me when you done with it
:3
Got this on repeat! I’m here from TikTok and I’ve waited so long for this to drop. I love it so much!!! You’re so talented!!! ❤❤❤
I’m pretty sure that’s hes a one man crew who ends up doing everything which makes it more impressive
Same
So true the song just makes you bones rattle and makes your voice wanna follow the shadow
Same
He made me love sea shanties
The feeling of listening to this is unexplainable. I couldn't concentrate on the lyrics but at the same time I was seeing all the visuals in my minds eye?? It was so intense and insane, I fear I'll never be able to fully grasp the lyrics and it's contents because I'll just be daydreaming about being a pirate but also about being "the one the sailors call the shadow". I love that "the one the sailors call the shadow" is such an abstract concept, like is she a witch? Why is she where she is and no one can come close to her helm? Why is she alone and does what she does to the sailors who try to tame her? WHAT IS HER STORY I NEED TO KNOW!!!
I've been dissecting these lyrics and i think the one the sailors call the shadow is a ship...the legend is about a ship filled with gold without a captain and crew....
@@otakubookworm2475 from what I understood "no crew, nor captain's guiding hand can tame the one the sailors call the shadow" means that there has never been a crew or captain that has been able to tame and capture the one the sailors call the shadow! It could be a ship indeed, but then again the song says "the banshee cried 'turn back'" so I assume it's a woman aboard a phantom ship!
I got more of a flying dutchman witchcrafty vide outta this. Phantom witch maybe??
@@anapaulo11
@@anapaulo11 The ship herself is the shadow, the banshee is simply trying to warn them away from the ship! In folklore they may wail and shriek if someone is approaching their likely death, which is what she is doing here! Furthering evidence is some say banshees come from a woman murdered, so it's possible the shadow took her life and now she attempts to warn others from sharing her fate.
@@teresanu This makes sense, thank you! I have a question though, wouldn't a ship be referred to as "it"? The song keeps using female pronouns, that's also why I assumed there was a woman involved!
Theory, if you're trying to tame her, but in a aggressive way she'll kill you all, but what if... You came to try and tame the Shadow.. but in a tender way like a lover? Thoughts?
Roll to seduce
Maybe she’ll let u live or she’ll torment u
@@destinyconceicao4082Maybe both.
@destinyconceicao4082 I'm thinking along the lines of monster house style, the movie where the dudes wife basically haunted and became the house, the Shadow sounds to me like a spirit which with everyone coming at her in an attempt to take her for their own, perhaps a gentler touch is in order to tame the rage so to speak
@@genultz4866 This fits most Pirate mythos. Most of their myths had to be solved with wit and not with arms.
This song makes me what to quit school and become a pirate.
I love this so much, the ending gives me chills. Made the mistake of hearing it for the first time in class and had to explain why I was frozen just taking in the full thing after weeks of waiting. Can't wait to hear more❤❤❤
I got chills🥶🥶.... Felt the story.... That last part was 🔥🔥🔥
Legend of the Captain of the Shadow!!🎉🎉
I work at sea... have officially spent 5 years on the water... this song hits
Do a music video PLEASE!!! This is AWESOME And I can already VISUALIZE how awesome this is! From the moment they embark on their journey with good spirits, to the moment they reach the shadow, to the moment the captain is cursed to guide the shadow, I felt the whole thing and I love it! We need a music video pls!
I can see you going far in the musical industry with a voice like that and a mind to make songs like that. Can't wait to see what song you come up with next.
This is what I mean when I say I like sailors music. It gives me so many good vibes and I love it.
This song gives me the urge to write a song about pirates going on a journey they know will only lead to their ends, but they all have the determination to go on just to uncover the legend.
NiCe
Ok but listen to this at night in the dark with both earbuds in and your eyes closed. it was so cool!
Honestly this may just be my favourite song of the year. Can see this being on my playlists for years to come.
Thank you for this beaut of a song
Easily my new favorite sea shanty! The story, the notes, your voice. Everything is just so amazing! I look forward to what else you make in the future
what if you are on a ship
Both of your songs you've released are both mine and my kids favorite right now. I hope you will release more songs in the near future, we really enjoy them.
Oh, no! He and his crew are cursed. Someone call Captain Jack Sparrow. Only Jack can break the curse.
I swear I'm about to make a whole animatic about this I don't care that I don't have much free time this fits one of my characters so well!!!
Do it
Please send tell me when it's made 🙏 I would love to watch it!
yes tell us
Im gonna sub to you so il see it
You deserve so much more views to this. It's a masterpiece.
This Sea Shanty is beautifully done, especially as you sang it over a candle. Gave it the eerie vibe that it deserves especially given the lyrics near the end about how the rigging came alive
This song has buried itself into my brain andI've been playing it all day since Spotify recommended it. Please keep making shanties, as this is one hell of a first effort.
I've been obsessed with this since it came out. I visualized an entire music video in my head the first time I heard the full song. Thank you for this masterpiece!
This shanty is something else in absolutely the best way possible. I have been playing it on repeat while I sit here making jewelry and it gives me the best chills.
Gives me goosebumps, I get mesmerized by how he tells the story.
I made this song into a dungeons and dragons adventure for my players. They absolutely loved it and bid me say thank you for a unforgettable evening.
I'm gonna be playing this on repeat while playing AC black flag
Based
I just commented how this kinda gave me Edward Kenway vibes! 😂🤣
I found the first part on tiktok and waited eversince for a whole version. I'm really happy to finally know how the story ends, and the song is just fire 🔥🔥🔥 I love it 💙💜💙💜
The image of the rigging coming alive, hanging the crew, and blinding the captain goes so hard. Would make a fitting animation for Love, Death, and Robots
I love how he embodies the role of the captain from his song. "She took me eyes and cursed me captain of the shadow." He is the captain and tells the story of his crew to the other sailors who dare pass by.
but ngl a part of me believes that he actually doesn't have sight
[LYRICS]
I set upon the sea
To search for phantom sails
From tails my mum told me
A ghostly galleon filled with gold
She sails alone
No crew, nor captain's guiding hand
Can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
Sun and horizon met
I weighed the anchor hoisted sails
My course was set
My cutthroat crew conspirin
With the stars our guide
They point the way through perils fraught
And lead us to the one they call the shadow
None can tamr the one the sailors call the shadow
Lean left
Hard righ
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho
Til first light
She'll give a fight
To all who try to claim the shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
A mighty tempest grew
The banshee cried, "turn back!"
But our resolve was true
We pointed bow ahead and shouted
"We'll break through"
The jaws of hell can't hold us back
There nothing that can keep us from the shadow
The winds blew stronger still
The ocean raged against us
Tried to break our will
The sirens in the water
Thirsty for the kill
Our vessel reeling to and fro
To bear us to the one they call the shadow
None can keep us from the one they call the shadow
Lean left
Hard righ
Hold tightly to her helm
She'll try to drown you just for spite
Heave, ho
Til first light
She'll give a fight
To all who try to claim the shadow
None can tame the one the sailors call the shadow
As thunder split the sky
The lightning drew a shape
Beyond the tempest's eye
A chill ran through me spine
As legend came alive
"Avast" I cried
All hands as we prepare to take the one they call
The shadow
"All hands!!!"
As we approached her shell
The skies went silent
Seas went calm as if by spell
No signs of fight or flight were in her
All was well
Until I cried to take her helm
Her rigging came alive
She hung my crew before me eyes
She stole my sight and cursed me captain of the shadow
She took my eyes and cursed me captain of the shadow
Thanks ❤
My bother in christ this is a lyrics video 🤦♂️
@@toughluck9403sry for not being a fast reader
Some people wanna sing along cause on screen moves fast
Also this incomplete
Bought the song on iTunes, subbed to the TikTok and here as well! I can’t get enough of this song. Need more! This is so good!
I love the idea of living ships. Every ship has a bit of soul in her.
"Her rigging came alive . She hung my crew before me eyes she stole my sight and cused me captin of the shadow." Best line ever
love this song it has a strong meaning about how crews try to tame "the one they call the shadow". can't wait till you release more songs like this one
Astonishing, I can't help listening to it again and again !!
To think this is his first song and it came out 6 months ago and he's get 101k subs already just shows how much people like his songs and how much potential he has in the future
Dude this song makes me want to get a crew and build a pirate ship and sale the seas not gonna lie...
I'm playing this song on repeat on Halloween its just too GOOD
I think “The shadow” is a siren. And I’m thinking he’s singing from Odysseus’s POV because he’s the only person who’s heard the siren song.
You cant listen to the same song for 2 years straight they said
As the sun began to set upon the horizon, a few sailors had set foot in a tavern, looking for an old Captain. One of the lads stepped up the the bar, leaning over the counter towards the bartender. "Ah, what can i get ye lads?" The bartender asked. The one leaning over the counter whispered. "We're looking for the Captain of the Shadow." Said he. The bartender dropped the glass he was polishing. "Eh, over there, lads. The old sailor there, in the corner. But be wary, the man's loose in the noggin." The bartender warned. The sailors walked over to the dimly lit corner table, and had a seat in front of the old man. "Tell us about the Shadow." One of the men said. "Where do we find her?"

@emullett3965 whoops, my bad
This is a massive W but imagine an animated version or a music video for this
This is absolutely amazing. I can't even put it into words. My favourite part is I know the flat cap is your thing, but it fits this song so well because it feels like you were actually blind the whole time and it was foreshadowing. Especially as you say about being blinded you sort ot snap your head around a few times like searching in the dark as if blind. Intended or not, such an incredible song.
"you can't keep playing this over and over again"
Me: "TRY AND STOP ME!!"
I love this, especially how it’s so simple and it is set up like it’s him telling a ghost story to his friends at a party.
I’ve been listening to this on repeat. I need an album with more of these stories ❤
Purchased the song and am now sharing this video as much as possible!
Where did you purchase this? I can't find a bandcamp link or anything
I've had this stuck in my head for several days now I hope you realize how fricking catchy this is, North 😁
He sounds like what I imagine an actual pirate wound sound like
I like how he doesn't show his eyes as if the shadow actually took his eyes
I love this so much. I've been listening to it on repeat ever since I discovered it. Your voice is amazing and i love how dark it gets because they didn't listen to the warnings
This song tells a entire story of a lifetime
I like how his songs have lore
Love it. This song has so much power and depth to it. As if a real pirate tells us his story. Could listen to it the whole day. Also this video is so strong. All is dark, just the man behind a candle. I’m mesmerised by his facial expressions, just wow. And handsome too 🔥☠️
This song just gives me visions of an epic battle at sea. AMAZING WORK!
This song sounds like an adventure! It’s giving me the same feeling as watching the cut scene at the end of shores of gold in sea of thieves!! You are awesome dude!!!
If this becomes an animated music video, I picture can old sea dog singing this shanty to warn a bright eyed bushy-tailed new captain not to seek out The Shadow for his first voyage.
And when the new captain asks how the old sea dog knows all this...he lifts his torn, ragged hat to reveal his blackened eyeballs. A constant reminder of his foolhardy attempt to tame the one the sailors call The Shadow.
This is my favorite song
chills , just chills. i think i just found the song for a character of mine ( a roleplay character ) it fits her so well. She's a siren of a different sort , able to traverse land and sea whos based on Circe from greek myth. she is able to bring forth storms and raging tides , and is very spiteful indeed. Many thought they could have her only to meet their end many by watery grave. so this just fits her so much on top of being a total bop.
This was actually *extremely* catchy, I love it.
I love how the video is just him sitting in front of a candle but the lyrics describe the journey so well you can clearly imagine the storm, the tides, and at the eye of it, the Shadow herself.
"ALL HANDS!!!" The captain screamed above the thrashing the sea gave our vessel as a storm was brewing overhead.
We sailors all piled onto deck and scrambled for the wildly flying ropes and moorings.
I yelled as the skin on me hands tore open as I grabbed onto a bundle of wildly-swinging ropes, then with a roar, I pulled with the power of the God of the Sea and saw the majestic beauty we we're hunting as the sails turned back into place.
A black hull appeared beside our ship, but as soon as it appeared before me eyes, it was gone.
But the sea was our enemy here as a mass of dark silhouettes rose from under the waves stirred up by the storm.
Each one moved like a serpent as they wrapped their shadowed forms around our hull and mast.
This is my favourite song lately. I can't stop playing it
Your voice is gold mate, suits this genre very well
Wonderful powerful voice. Thank you so much for this sharing!
Omfg your songs are sooooo good ive had it stuck in my head for literal days please please please bring out more your amazing and have an amazing voice and insane talent
Points to RUclips for recommending this to me!
This is awesome!
Watching you build the song and story from TikTok has been a wonderful experience!! The sounds of joy I made when I saw this was finally finished and released, that was a beautiful feeling!!
Thank you so much for letting us accompany you on the journey to completion of The Tale of the Shadow!!
This is stunning!!!
I had to print the lyrics - my boys love the story and they read it every day :)
Love this shanty, tells a good story
I have had this song in my head since I found it. Beautiful shanty. It also gave me inspiration for a character story in a game I'm playing.
Surely it ain't just me, but when the Captain shouts "All hands!", I just got literal chills! Can't help but respond "Aye, Cap'n!" and follow him to the ends of the earth. Truly, beautifully, and awesomely epic! Hats off to you, Sail North! O Cap'n my Cap'n!
Absolutely amazing!
This is absolutely beautiful music. I've had this on repeat. I can't wait to see your music rise. 💜
I seen this on Tik Tok and listening to the full song. It's very catchy and a vibe. I love it!!
Good job keep making amazing masterpieces
This is so addictive
This is very good song keep it UP👍🎧
Beautiful 🎶
This is by far, THE BEST sea shanty every written. Chills.
THIS IS AMAZING!! Makes me wanna sing along!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well what's stopping you😊
You're in a bar just off the coast of Great Tortuga. A scrappy looking man approaches you and offers you a drink, you accept and sit down with the lad, he begins to tell you a tale. A Tale of the Shadows.
As a sea shanty lover, this will be put on the top of favorites. And whenever I hear this i immediately picture my oc as a pirate.
I keep coming back to this song😭😭
ALL HANDS!!! got me the chills but I love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
