Regarding Sea Shanties: i spoke to an old sailor who fought in WW2. he said his old Master Sergeant who ran the school he was taught in was in before WW1 "Back when the ships were made of wood and the men were made of iron"
I mean, you kinda had to be to even survive a voyage in the days of wood ships, the work was grueling, food was horrific and there was very limited hygiene even back on land

Lyrics for this version! It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife We whalermen undergo. And we won’t give a damn when the gales are done How hard the winds did blow. ‘For we're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds With a good ship, taut and free And we won't give a damn when we drink our rum With the girls of Old Maui. (Chorus) Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds Rolling down to Old Maui. Once more we sail with a northerly gale Through the ice and wind and rain. Them coconut fronds, them tropical shores We soon shall see again. Six hellish months we passed away On the cold Kamchatka Sea, But now we're bound from the Arctic rounds Rolling down to Old Maui. Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds Rolling down to Old Maui. Once more we sail with a northerly gale Towards our island home. Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung, And we ain't got far to roam. Our stu'n's'l bones is carried away What care we for that sound? A living gale is after us, Thank God we're homeward bound. Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds Rolling down to Old Maui. How soft the breeze through the island trees, Now the ice is far astern. Them native maids, them tropical glades Is a-waiting our return. Even now their big brown eyes look out Hoping some fine day to see Our baggy sails runnin' 'fore the gales Rolling down to old Maui. Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys Rolling down to Old Maui We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds Rolling down to Old Maui.
My Friends and me are in a Pub at Moment. We bounce our Beers and Fists to the rythm, so the whole Pub was hoppin 'n jumpin I am a German, but this voice makes me and my fellas Irish for one day again❤️🇮🇪 hail to the COLMUNITY
YES YES THAT ONE. I think your voice would be perfect to portray the range of emotions Davy Jones felt in the lyrics. Or you could make into a duet and make someone as calypso since some part of the lyrics can also be interpreted for calypso pov
Yeah his voice is really incredible, and as someone with an unpleasant voice I can understand you wish. Oh well that’s life, sometimes you just get the shorter stick…
As others have noted, the production quality to ensure a clean choral sound is superbly done, and I continue to thank you for expanding the shanty niche! Thanks Colm!
Forget traditional musicals. Imagine an entire musical set on a ship where the deck hands sing these shanty’s. Setting the scene pre and lost battle. Setting up trade routes etc. It would be epic
One of the few sea shanty’s that I knew of before the sea shanty craze. My dad and I listened to a folk band when I was a kid and they did a couple sea shanty’s including this. Also loving the Low Bs in this, your tone is so full that I actually don’t understand lol
It's not a shanty. Shanties were old songs sung on board (never on shore) to help get the work done. This is a fine maritime song, yes, but not a shanty.
Dude I can’t get enough of your music you’re so insanely talented in the short time I’ve been listening to you I’ve been nothing but thoroughly impressed.
Ooh. As a guy with a deeper voice, that deep voice part speaks to my core. Irish twang gives everything a wonderful sound, but I'm biased, with my Irish heritage. Keep up what you're doing, Colm.
Yes another Stan Rodgers classic! I already know this is going to be amazing! Edit: I was correct, one of the best renditions I have ever heard! you've done Stan proud!
Sheer guttural brilliance! And the talent of the different instruments is amazing. I turned this on and my Da walked in! Made me start again so we could sing it out loud!! He did it to me a few days ago, as well! I found, fell in love and binge listen during times of things to do. Not getting much done with him around! 😂😂😂 we’re having a blast! Happy Christmas
I love this version by Colm... in fact the damned song is stuck in my head... it snowed here last night and I was shoveling snow and singing this ditty... my wife thinks I'm crazy...but I don't care... I like the song!.
I can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything like you are going through, though I’ve never met you, and most likely never will, I wish you the all the best and hope you recover fully
You've got a voice for these - if you'd team up with John Bromley and David Coffin, I'm pretty sure the vibrations of your voices combined would show up on the goddamn Richter Scale. Excellent job!
Chills. Absolute chills. My all time favorite shanty done by my favorite bass. Positively scintillating. And the additional instrumentation absolutely flawless.
The beauty of this shanty sent me a-Googling to learn its provenance -- it IS an old one. Utterly delightful in Colm's performance, an entire choir elicited from one fluid and fluent voice artist. Love it!
i love how every shanty have its version in propably every language, in poland shanties like old maui(stara maui), wild rower(dziki włóczęga) and more are the almost the same song.
There is something haunting about this song. I have loved it from the first time I heard it. I taught it to my 8 kids and I must say that we do a damn fine job of it. Well done Colm this old RCN salt salutes you sir.
I was playing sea of thieves,during my play session I was playing for he's a jolly good fellow to my brother in law..I started singing it and jumping around on deck..and then I fell overboard and the ship crashed😅🤣ai shanties and shenanigans,what a pair😁👍
I really wanted to listen to this as soon as I saw this notification but I needed to clock in at work but just Holy fuck just Holy fuck Colm McGuiness just as powerful as ever
Mighty thunderous waves is colms voice. Foot: stomping can't stop Finger: touching repeat after song is sung Mind: song stuck on repeat Thanks for another great song colm please keep them coming!!!
hey Colm finnaly i get to leave a comment early, i want to take this opportunity to tell you that you are absolutely awensome my man, your music is great and the work you put into all of your songs is insane, im looking forward to hear more epic music from you in the future!

Except the navy doesn't have Master Sergeants.
Amazing ! My husband passed away this morning. He was an old sailor and this made me smile thinking about him being happy aboard ship.
My deep condolences ❤ may music always bring his smile back to your memory.
May he sail eternal on waves of starlight
My condolences. Fair winds to him and to you.
May God comfort you in your grief.

Lyrics for this version!
It's a damn tough life full of toil and strife
We whalermen undergo.
And we won’t give a damn when the gales are done
How hard the winds did blow.
‘For we're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds
With a good ship, taut and free
And we won't give a damn when we drink our rum
With the girls of Old Maui.
(Chorus)
Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to Old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds
Rolling down to Old Maui.
Once more we sail with a northerly gale
Through the ice and wind and rain.
Them coconut fronds, them tropical shores
We soon shall see again.
Six hellish months we passed away
On the cold Kamchatka Sea,
But now we're bound from the Arctic rounds
Rolling down to Old Maui.
Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to Old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds
Rolling down to Old Maui.
Once more we sail with a northerly gale
Towards our island home.
Our whaling done, our mainmast sprung,
And we ain't got far to roam.
Our stu'n's'l bones is carried away
What care we for that sound?
A living gale is after us,
Thank God we're homeward bound.
Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to Old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds
Rolling down to Old Maui.
How soft the breeze through the island trees,
Now the ice is far astern.
Them native maids, them tropical glades
Is a-waiting our return.
Even now their big brown eyes look out
Hoping some fine day to see
Our baggy sails runnin' 'fore the gales
Rolling down to old Maui.
Rolling down to Old Maui, me boys
Rolling down to Old Maui
We're homeward bound from the Arctic rounds
Rolling down to Old Maui.
Thanks
"arctic rounds", I think, in the chorus
Colm could you put these in the description?
Actually it's Arctic rounds
I love Abney Park, but how I cringe for "...on the cold Comanche Sea" in their version. I wonder where Captain Robert thinks that sea might be...
My Friends and me are in a Pub at Moment.

Dude dude dude. You have to sing Fialeja’s Davy Jones theme. You would absolutely nail it my guy
HELL YES!!!
AYE!
totally
YES YES THAT ONE. I think your voice would be perfect to portray the range of emotions Davy Jones felt in the lyrics. Or you could make into a duet and make someone as calypso since some part of the lyrics can also be interpreted for calypso pov
YEEEEES PLEASE DO IT... JUST FIND A GODDES VOICED LASSIE TO MAKE THAT! but ofc do your things as it needed to be done THEN after make videos...
He's one man army singing
I bet his voice is every guys dream
Gosh I want his voice for Christmas present
About the only mans voice I’d dream about. Can’t wait until he releases more on Spotify. Listen to him on the way to work daily.
Yeah his voice is really incredible, and as someone with an unpleasant voice I can understand you wish. Oh well that’s life, sometimes you just get the shorter stick…
Who else got confused about about the 69 years thing?
I know it's mine, what I would do for a voice like that
He's got the perfect voice for sea shanties...
Bruh, awesome!
As others have noted, the production quality to ensure a clean choral sound is superbly done, and I continue to thank you for expanding the shanty niche! Thanks Colm!

It would be epic
Im sure these exist but they probably arent that good tbh lmao
Sign me the fuck up
2:57 you saw the passion in his face, love your chanel!
Bestes pf
I like his singing of the harmonies, he definitely sounds as a whole choir. A guy with a dozen of voices. +1 to my tracklist.
КрасаФФчик! Национальное достояние Ирландии,берегие его😊
One of the few sea shanty’s that I knew of before the sea shanty craze. My dad and I listened to a folk band when I was a kid and they did a couple sea shanty’s including this.
Also loving the Low Bs in this, your tone is so full that I actually don’t understand lol
Thanks so much, mate! I will say, I did 6 bass tracks for this one, so that’d account for the tone haha
What band? Just curious, they sound cool if they did sea shanties before the sea shanty craze
@@ashleymccready978 I think they were called Bellowhead. I haven’t listened in about 8 years so I might be wrong.
I’ve been on a shanty kick since before the shanty kick. Assassins creed black flag did it to me lol. They need to remaster and use Colms tracks.
It's not a shanty. Shanties were old songs sung on board (never on shore) to help get the work done. This is a fine maritime song, yes, but not a shanty.
As a sailor living in Hawaii, this makes me happy inside! Just wonderful
Dude I can’t get enough of your music you’re so insanely talented in the short time I’ve been listening to you I’ve been nothing but thoroughly impressed.
I feel legendary being a part of this through waiting for the release
I am from Maui, and the whaling culture still resounds there although not always happily. But I love this song and Colm does it justice.
'o'au ka ho'i. Aloha
Well, you ceased being just a "singer" long ago. Now you are a natural phenomenon with badass and bass mode turned on. Fantastic, just fantastic.
Love this. I hate when singers make shanties “pretty”, this has an authentic edge to it.
A bit smooth still, but that is the difference between trained and untrained Voices
Did I ever mention how much I adore that Colm always wears irish knit wool sweaters in his videos? *raises a glass in respect*
I seriously want to see you and Geoff to sing “Blue on Black” or “Thunder Rolls”
Ooh. As a guy with a deeper voice, that deep voice part speaks to my core. Irish twang gives everything a wonderful sound, but I'm biased, with my Irish heritage. Keep up what you're doing, Colm.
Yes another Stan Rodgers classic! I already know this is going to be amazing!
Edit: I was correct, one of the best renditions I have ever heard! you've done Stan proud!
AMUNG US IN REAL LIFE "SUS, SUS"
IT'S JUST A SUSSY BAKA AND IT CANNOT BE THAT BAD, IM FEELING LIKE IMPOSTER I MIGHT JUST BE A MONSTER

Roll and go by the dreadnaughts!!
I can almost imagine you singing the line "oh brothers hear me now"
Уникальнй певец, удивлению нет предела, кладезь таланта. Слушаю с интересом и для души.
You know when you're 10 seconds into a song and you know it will be good?
Yeah. WELL FREAKING DONE COLM AND COLM-CLONES!
Currently at sea (close to the coast though, hence the internet 😂), listening to this! Wrong ocean and island, still perfect song!
Right on my bruther I can see us sailing out the artic headed for the tropical paradise old Maui
I love this version by Colm... in fact the damned song is stuck in my head... it snowed here last night and I was shoveling snow and singing this ditty... my wife thinks I'm crazy...but I don't care... I like the song!.
Your voice/music has helped me get through my radiation/chemo treatments. Thank you for sharing your beautiful music/voice.❤️
I can’t say I’ve ever experienced anything like you are going through, though I’ve never met you, and most likely never will, I wish you the all the best and hope you recover fully
Thank you. Putting my faith in God. Unfortunately things are getting wors
Her: ".. ha ha, your cute. So what music do you like to listen to?"
Me: "Uhh."
Always gold, I would imagine the Luther who made your violin is damn proud of the music being played on it
You've got a voice for these - if you'd team up with John Bromley and David Coffin, I'm pretty sure the vibrations of your voices combined would show up on the goddamn Richter Scale. Excellent job!
Chills. Absolute chills. My all time favorite shanty done by my favorite bass. Positively scintillating. And the additional instrumentation absolutely flawless.
Colm - God of mimicry - able to mimic the voices of anything he pleases, though he does appear love wearing grey sweaters.
The beauty of this shanty sent me a-Googling to learn its provenance -- it IS an old one. Utterly delightful in Colm's performance, an entire choir elicited from one fluid and fluent voice artist. Love it!
Good Lord, I could listen to your voice for the rest of my life and get shivers every time!
I am so fascinated by the way this man's mouth moves. What comes out of it sounds pretty nice too
A great end to the day looks like this, thank you for your creativity.
Man I absolutely love your vocal range. I am convinced you're capable of singing any song and making it sound amazing.
Your channel is growing so fast!! Must be doing something right! Would love to hear you sing ‘when the boat comes in’
I love this piece. It feels like a war chant.
i love how every shanty have its version in propably every language, in poland shanties like old maui(stara maui), wild rower(dziki włóczęga) and more are the almost the same song.
Huzzah?! One of my favourite shanties?! Simply amazing!!
Feel like I need a eye patch with a parrot on my shoulder staring out on a boat with the sun rising.
I'VE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS ONE AND IT WAS WORTH EVERY MOMENT! 🤯😍💯
Colm twice in one day? First with Melinda, then here? Great!

No better way to spend my lock down in
Australia than to drink whiskey and listen to some sea shanty’s .. thankyou Colm.

I really wanted to listen to this as soon as I saw this notification but I needed to clock in at work but just Holy fuck just Holy fuck Colm McGuiness just as powerful as ever
