SO, just to address a few things:
1) No this is not autotuned. I'm a Bass 2, my natural range goes down to D2-C2, depending on the day. For anything lower than that, I'll get up early in the morning, before drinking water (or ideally hungover..... [tbh it's very on-brand for the whole 'pirate thing']).
2) MORE IMPORTANTLY: ........... I have no idea why my tongue is blue in this. Maybe it's from the colour correction, but I am not half-cow, I promise.
Thanks for stopping by (leave a recommendation in the comment reply-thread below)
Don't worry Colm the blue tongue makes your voice deeper
F'ing brilliant, wish I had 1% of your blue tongue lizard talent.
@Aaron Anderson Thank you, mate! I have more trouble with the high stuff than the bass range. I was a bass in choir, but sang in bands for a few years and tried to work on expanding my range up from there. I use JST gain reduction for my compression. It's normally targeted at heavy metal vocals, but it doesn't change formants. Other than that, I'm using Raum reverb on my bus here. I would implore you to try add something like vocal synth 2 to a standard track and change the formants. It'll sound way more artificial than this.
Sometimes, if I want to record lower than this song, for the SUPER bass stuff, I'll record hungover in the morning, which is absolutely 100% cheating. Undeniably. I'm a composer first, so the production is the main focus for me, but if I did use any sort of pitch correction, I'd be open about it. I love the attitude people like Post Malone have have being open with their use of autotune and I wouldn't be ashamed to admit it if I was.
Thanks so much for listening!
😀 I thought I was seeing things when I saw your 'blue' tongue! I didn't mention it because I was enjoying the eye and ear candy so much! 😘
Oh, nice tah know that y'ar not half-cow, sir! XD
i didn't have a beard before listening to this
Ah ah that’s a good one 🤣🤣🤣
I'm in I guess lmao
I'm 13 and now I also have a beard
I can wield Mjolnir after listening to this song
You win the Internet today!
Everyone else: Hey Colm, what exactly is your vocal range?
Colm: Range? What's that?
FR
I have a vocal range of ~80-500 hz... this man has .0005 hz to 10000000 hz
It was nice, and then the fucking bass/baritone kicked in and holy shit did it sound heavenly
Yeah went kinda metal at that point could have followed up with drums and guitar.
Jesus loves you. Repent and be baptized

This song makes me wanna buy a gallie with good ores and sail to distant shores
But will you stand up high on the prow
On the noble barque you stear?
Take ma money 💰 💰
You do realize this is a song about a Viking dying and sailing to Valhalla right?
"Steady Course to The Haven."
"Sail to Distant Shores."
"Hew many foemen."
:-/
@@AflacMan13 Victory or Vallhalla
Galley, not gallie. Oars, not ores
Good job!!!
Feckin' hell, cheers mate!
You did an amazing job on those witcher songs
I bet you get this super often, but you look like jacksepticeye. Like just like him! You also have a amazing voice.
@@bonkyouded Literally have never gotten that before, hahaha
@@ColmRMcGuinness it was more directed towards Dan Vasc xD
Wow, you did a really great job with this song! Can’t wait to see your channel grow!
Eyy! Thanks, Rachel, can't wait to see your version, today! Love your stuff.
@@ColmRMcGuinness i just watched hers after this and bruh, i can only immagine your voices together
@@jamesramon2057 Saw it too, it's dope! The harmonies in this are no picnic to figure out. Absolutely killed it!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Ayyyy I would be down to collaborate any day
@@RachelHardy Mate, 100%! I'll message you on twitter
am I the only one who feels like raiding an English monastery now?
nope, im english and i’ll help you
I'll row the boat
I’m with ya, let’s go!!
Where we meeting up? I’m in!
Wait for me
Friars at Lindisfarne: "Why do I hear boss music?"
OH MY GOD 🤣🤣
Lindisfarne..793 AD...that intro
spotify
The deep voice did things to me and I’m not complaining at all
Kinda sounds like Kratos.
@ALph4
B O Y
It's a voice effect, but sounds cool
@@AndyRock1 it’s not an effect it’s a technique used by bass vocalists I can do it naturally as well all tho there may be slight auto tune on this I’m not sure
What I really love is that this song is actually from Egil's Saga and is Egil's first "poem" that he composed after winning his first fight. Here everyone is, one thousand plus years later, singing beautiful renditions of one of the most famous Viking Sagas and that makes me so happy.
It's a rare and MAGICAL thing when someone can just sing and you can almost feel the musical instruments 🎼 even though there isn't any!
Brilliant cover! Really hits the heart, if you know what I mean?
Cheers, mate!!
I might, "If I Had a Heart".
Repent
Didnt expect to see a fellow ape but ya never mind this makes sense
Wow, now this is a man with a voice deeper than Marianas trench.
not as deep as Corpse
It is a sound effect.
@@wailingentity It doesn't sound like an effect but rather a well-executed sub-harmonic technique to hit the lower notes. You should look up Geoff Castellucci's channel and you'll see some of his songs. One, in particular, is the holiday song he did with VoicePlay called "Oogie Boogie" and the last note he sings literally is the lowest note I have ever heard a human sing; zero effects, all talent.
@@christianchamp2002 Swear he had to sell something to get that voice though. XD That final note scared me the first time hearing it! lol
@@wailingentity He commented that it’s his actual vocal range.
Listened to this in the car. Got pulled over because I didn’t notice my car suddenly had sails and canons out the back windows
I remember playing this for my kids when they were babies and it helped sooth them (I think the rich, deep tones helped). I learned the lyrics and it's become my nightly lullaby for one of them (she literally won't sleep until I sing it). So thank you for the beautiful cover.
Not versed in singing, but you've got a special something to your voice/singing that makes these shanties hit the ears just right. Love your work, and I hope for the best in your musical career.
Thanks so much!
He sings them in the way they supposed to sound. But they aren't "shanties"
Hooray for the Baritones; coming for the Tenors AND the Basses.
Dude, if I actually had a decent mic I could start recording, my range is terrifying, I can go decently high, and I can go damned low, I just wish I had an actual decent mid I could use, but no I have to be poor LOL.
This is my kids favorite lullaby, I've sung them both so many songs and this one stuck and is a regular requested one. I have this on repeat some days where I'm not feeling the singing and it's a fan favorite here in my household. Thank you for keeping me sane with a 4 year old and a newborn haha ❤️
It's kind of amazing how many gruesome dark songs actually make beautiful lullabies.
@@junbh2 absolutely hahahs
Same! They graduated to asking for the RUclips version now lol
That bass voice is incredible, I have watched this so many times and I can’t get over that voice.
Forgive my ignorance, but is that deep voice altered or is that really within your range? Because if that's all you that's amazing!
Nah, I'm not a fan of autotune. It's my normal range. When I'm singing even lower than this, I'll record in the morning, when my voice is at its lowest. Definitely can't hit lower than a C2 afterwards. Thanks for listening!
@@ColmRMcGuinness Thanks for your reply! And color me impressed, you've got a great range. :)
@@ColmRMcGuinness C1 or C2 because C1 is basso profundo unless you use subharmonics or vocal-fry
This is absolutely gorgeous. Your vocal range is amazing! Found you by accident and glad I did :)
I need to hear the lower part by itself damn
I don’t know why-
But I really wanna know if his mouth is actually blue or the camera/my phone is just being weird-
I swear this is somehow edited with a cg double. I don't know why, I don't know how, but the way his facial muscles move seems so strange. For example the way his brow relaxes at 1:00 (middle guy, as soon as he starts singing "my") is super video-gamey.
@@benedictprove3937 the thought of this being a real guy whos micro movements just come across really CGI like thoroughly amuses me
I think it’s just the shadows but I definitely see it too lmao
@@LoverScratch You see it too, right? Am I crazy?
He had a Slurpee before making the video. 😂
ColmRMcGuinness You rock any vocal range! You are amazing! Keep up the phenomenal work! A role model to me for sure! I am a country woman, but I love this music and style too!
When you have 20 differnet personalities but a least 3 of them are musically talented 😅
Leave a recommendation of what shanty you'd like to hear!
Saw this a while back: David Coffin - "Roll the Old Chariot", you can have some good fun with it surely!
Randy Dandy Oh would be amazing with your voice
@@hewhoisme4343 watch this space...
I'd love to hear you sing Sugar in the Hold, it's got such a cheerful rolling chorus.
Barnacle Bill the Sailor but the adult version is hilarious
Nice to see the bloke on the left being given his chance to shine!
*That one guy at the party who NEEDS to throw in a higher harmony, that no one asked for*
I love the echo that he used. It makes me feel like I’m listening to a Viking chief singing in a large, torch lit cave
My mother told me
Someday I would buy
Galleys with good oars
Sails to distant shores
My mother told me
Someday I would buy (buy)
Galleys with good oars

Þat mælti mín móðir,
at mér skyldi kaupafley ok fagrar árar,
fara á brott með víkingum, standa upp í stafni,

Thanks for the lyrics guy :)
Thanks man!
My father told me someday I will die
Fighting for new lands
Sail to distant shores.
Let out my war cry
Show I have no fear
Valhallas gates to Haven
Wait for no man
Not mine but I've always loved this verse. I always add this when I sing this song.
You find different lyrics for this song everywhere but if you listen closely you'll notice hat Colm actually sings "Someday I WILL buy, A Galley with good oars". Just FYI.
I'm amazed by the highs and lows that you can hit. Great job as always.
Called autotune
@Lucas Inglat Yeah, I was unable to listen to it for more than 30 seconds.
"Oh this is nice! Liked!"
*DAT BASS kicks in*
"Subscribed!"
his voice didnt just give me goosebumps, nono, it made my head twitch. that was incredible
This is the type of music I adore finding on RUclips
Beginning: Okay, I can dig this. It's missing a little something in the vowel qualities but that's just me.
Clones appear: Woah, okay, never mind all that. If you have a bass voice like you can do whatever you well please and I'll enjoy it to no end.
I have no idea what's going on with the harmonies in this.
I just know I love it.
Yeah, they took ages to pick out. Love the slight dissonances. Those Scandinavians don't mess around!
What a range!! Never heard this song before, I love it
So I have listened to this about a zillion times and I can't stop. Someone help me...
Anglo Saxons: *sweats nervously*
This song was a real viking song written by a seven year old. The translation is a little embelished, but makes a better song, as the old norse song, while sounding good in old norse, did not sound good directly translated. Also, do Randy Dandy O
Then we have heard different stories about the song but it doesn't matter its 1000 years old
Yeah, this song is from Egil’s Saga. The character (Egil) who sings it is 7, but the man who recorded the entire saga was probably Snorri Sturluson (who was also the man who recorded the Prose Edda)
@@haleywells7369 Yeah that's what I heard but ayy it isn't who wrote it it's the song that matters
@@Retro49 Absolutely! I just thought it was really cool (I’m a history nerd, so I love sharing random facts lol)
@@haleywells7369yeah yeah love song facts especially old songs like this
Best yt recommendation I ever got. It's almost midnight and here I'm, listening to this song again and again almost 30 mins. Amazing!
his voice is literally magical
I’d love a shot of just that super deep singing, It blows my mind
Well done! I'm also starting to appreciating the fact that by keeping your production simple, it allows those who wish to use this for home games of TTRPG's then it can be pure and easier to incorporate.
The most beautiful thing I ever heard
I can't stop to hear your voice. It makes me dreaming about unknown countries and my mamories about my time in ireland. Thank you so much:-)
You my friend have a perfect voice for shanties just want to congratulate ya
Your voice sounds like how cold water feels on a hot summer day.
cannot lie, listening to this has me almost in tears with chills up my spine. 100/10 major props to you my dude.
Such lush and complex harmonies, really well done!!!
Those minor harmonies on the "Hew many foe-men" lines are awesome
Wow, the goosebumps really came - and I am grinning big time. The harmonies and dynamics packed into these two minutes are incredible 👏👏👏👍😁
Whenever I listen to anything like this, I get the shivers, it is so cool! Wish I was this talented.
After watching 20 of these videos in a row, I’ve learned I might have a thing for sea shanties 😅
Wonderful - we owned a sailing yacht for 17 years and were liveaboards for 10 out of these 17. Now I live in a hidden village in the mountains, but listening to a shanty makes me a bit wistful for the the South Pacific and everything “seafary”. Keep up the great work, I think the “Shanty Craze” is great 👍
Wow that harmony! Unreal! I get goosebumps each time I listen to it. Well done.
Absolutely love your voice and pure vocal prowess ... your song choices are sublime
This song and hoist the colors keeps sending chills down my spine.
Any other Vikings think we should let him join
I’m addicted to listening to this!
I love your harmonies!!
Dude I literally got chills from the beginning of this video
thank you for doing these videos, you are amazingly talented and your music is absolutely a pleasure to listen to
This is the best version of this song I have ever heard. I could listen to this all day.
This sea shanty thing is really going huh?
Oh well, this is damn beautiful.
This is fire! Love the vocal interpretation and harmonizations!
The range this guy has is seriously incredible and so rare!!
Man, I get suggested that tiktok with the guys singing a sea shanty and RUclips is like " oh you like that?"
So I've been listening to all of your shanties several times each. I love this one in particular so much, I've listened to a couple dozen times and I'm sure many to come. I would love to hear more viking shanties, if you know of any. It's the music I didn't realize how much I loved it.
(For context 99% of what I listen to is death core)
Thanks a lot mate! I’m going to fish into the AC Valhalla soundtrack and see if I can’t do some of the songs from that with some tagelharpa
Currently playing AC Valhalla and its amazing o can't wait to hear more and more. Thanks for all your hard work
My son and I can't stop singing this.
I loooove this sea shanty🥰😍❤
What a voice! Absolutely loved this!
You're doing a fantastic job Colm!
Beautiful! What an incredible voice- a true instrument. I can imagine this inspiring Viking sailors.
Gives me chills everytime I hear this shanty.... Live for our Ancestors people they went through alot worse than we did and survived
what a voice, i have never heard music sang so well, brilliant
Soo far this is the best cover I've seen. I fell in love with that low voice. So viking kind.
love the resonant deep tones, they are like the exclamation point on Your songs
This is something special, I'm not sure how many times I've listened to this now.
My man, I just binged a bunch of your videos like these. You are incredible! Your voice sound great, but the track balancing and vocal range really take these over the top. Really great stuff! Thank you for sharing these for the rest of the world to hear.
This is such a powerful and beautiful rendition!
I just.... wow, his low voice is fun to listen to. Very nice, very nice indeed.
Anyone else get chills? This was AMAZING! Thank you so much for posting your hard work!
I wasn't on galley, but I was a destroyer sailor and this makes me miss those days
I am in awe of your talent. When my friend shared your video on Facebook and said "headphones on, volume on max" THIS was not what I was expecting. Looking forward to lots more wonderfulness and my 9 year old say "He's actually pretty good!" which is very high praise coming from him
Ok, I listen it all day long, with all your other sea shanty. But this one, is my favorite !
Its cool to see how different he forms his mouth to say the words with the higher voice on the left and the bsss voice on the right , great job mr irish man
Wow!! That was fantastic!! I've loved sea shanties most of my life, and that was beautiful!! Please do more!!
BEST. ONE. YET.
Love the range and harmonies Colm!
That deep voice is awesome , you are a great singer ! keep it up .
me: turns on captions
captions: [Music]
also captions: "No need to thank me"
1:29 that was a moment of pure musical bliss and genius!!!
THAT HARMONY IS AMAZING, I CANT!! Dude this is amazing and I’m in love…again (just watched “my mother told me”
Truly beautiful thank you for making my day better
Thank you.... Good wishes from Australia... hailing back to my irish partronage .
Wow this is soo very awesome! I keep listening to it over and over again!
A wild Dane appered! Now this! Will please the mighty Odin! Well done young man! ⚔🍻
I went from 60% Danish to 99% in 3 seconds.
You mean norwegian?
@@isakhagane54 why would it be norwegian?
@@neanderthal- I don't know what nonsence you are telling. Norway was not under Denmark during the viking age, and they are not decendants of danes. The Norwegian vikings were all over Europe. My mother told me, was written by Egil Skallagrimson, Icelandic viking and poet. Iceland was settled by Norwegian vikings, so was greenland faroe Islands, Shetland and orkney Islands. Decendants of Norwegian vikings also went to the Americas. The Norwegian vikings founded Dublin and settled in Irland. So even though the danes settled in England, the Norwegians were raiding all over the british shores, they were also the first ones to attack britain at lindisfarne, starting the whole viking era.
@@neanderthal- I have, so you should really check your facts.
But the research study shows that the Vikings from what is now Norway travelled to Ireland, Scotland, Iceland and Greenland. The Vikings from what is now Denmark travelled to England. And Vikings from what is now Sweden went to the Baltic countries.
5% Norwegian here 🤣
I’m in love with this version!! Wow you’re voice is amazing!! So good! My heart is so happy with this
Every time a pleasure to listen to your fantastic music. Any new video from you is a reason to come back.
I always appreciate it when you upload, good sir!
This stuff is seriously underrated. So good
Your voice is pure magic! Love listening to this while studying🥰
Goosebumps fallowed by a lump in throat wow
