I love how the verse "Some men have died and some are alive, and others sail on the seas." implies that the sailors are neither alive, nor dead while they sail, their fate only being know when the ship returns, or fails to.
I never understood how singing was supposed to lure men to their deaths at sea, but here I am entranced by Malinda's voice like a moth to flame. I could listen to her sing until I forget time
Now imagine after a couple of weeks of nothing but shipboard monotony (as voyages should be, exciting voyages usually aren't good ones and end poorly) you hear a beautiful feminine voice faintly singing not too far in the distance, but its dark so you can't see where its coming from. No lights, no ship silhouetted against the stars/moon, just a wonderful singing. Now tell me would you want to check it out, I would. Sirens a manifestation from the mind of early sailors told in the ports and retold again and again after returning from a "long" trip (long being out of sight of land at this point in time) and who wants to hear about "well we left 8 days ago, stood watch, on day 4 it got a little breezy so we shortened sail, Bob stubbed his toe, and Jim fell over on day 6 after we saw some odd patches of sea weed"....
U are speaking of the Greek sirens they used their power of singing to luer men at sea in promise of sex only to use their souls as a meal and left the husk of flesh the man once was in the ocean and moved on to the next poor soul foolish enough to come within ear shot of their song. Only in the odesy stories do u hear of instances where someone was able to deny them this ability by filling Their ears with wax talk about being shot down.
Ikr!! Her voice hits every note and it is so calming. And the bass gives me goose bumps every time I hear him sing. All of them are amazing!! It amazes me as a singer!! I want to sound like that one day!!!
Given I’ve been on the ride atleast 8 times during the week I was in Disney World when I was 5, I’d have lost it too, I was already a huge fan of Pirates of the Caribbean, already got to meet Johnny Depp himself, and loved the line “Dead Men Tell No Tales”.. and I even have a jacket with that line on the back of it
I can't think anymore, this is just too beutiful, every single detail about it... Please do more collabs of this kind with these three! Your solo version is the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard but this is just as amazing, a perfect addition with the flute and those men's voices and everything, so beautifully dark and scary like a thunderstorm moving towards you or sth :D it's that feeling for me. I only wish you've had a solo part

I’ve been on the water my whole life. I run yachts for a living, the high seas is where I’m truly at home. I want this track to be played at my funeral in the opening of the ceremony.
Just played this for my 2 year old grandson, he froze and watched the entire thing so intently. Then went back to being an insane bundle of energy like normal, but for almost 5 minutes, you all held his strict attention.
@@blacklegbeastro5295 Interestingly enough I have heard his name a couple of times in other projects but always as a string musician not as a singer. Turns out he actually have a pretty good voice as well.

He basically started executing everyone in a costal town to make them so hopeless and desperate that they would all sing the summoning song with genuine dispair in their voices.
@@Zebulization Completely wrong. At this point when the song is sung at the gallows, Beckett already has the heart of Davy Jones. The song was basically a word of mouth message to the 9 pirate lords to convene the Brethren Court and unite against the extermination of pirates under Cutler Beckett.

My boss caught me singing along with this awesome group. He made me start over and soon we had a good 2 dozen people singing along. This is proof this version is epic.
Reminds me of howI was singing it to myself while shopping and this old man started singing along with me. He later said pirates of the Caribbean was his grandson's favourite movie franchise
I'm a Pacific seaman. Hands down the best rendition of mastery I've ever heard of this song. Best lyrics, music, drama and harmony ever. I could listen to this cut non stop. Beautifully done. WOW
its amazing that hollywood people wrote this song. well and hans zimmerman included too, he is a musical genius thats for sure. but i thought maybe this song just came from the old days from pirate tales or smth. nope, its hollywood sadly :( i just sometimes wonder if people 100 years later from now will listen this and think that such songs and movies were based by our lifestyle and what we were doing irl or will they understand that all this is just big bullshit and hollywood pretending and lies :(
Play this at my funeral. Maximum volume. Very large speakers. I want my corpse to vibrate as the flames grow around me and I return to the earth as ash and dust. I want my soul to hear this in whatever realm I pass onto after this one.

Kinda. Multiple people like this is very theatrical. Amazing but theatrical. The woman that does the higher pitched singing has videos of herself singing solo and it’s perfect. Exactly what I’d expect to make me jump ship and die.
Honestly most likely the most beautiful voice and talent I've heard yet from a female vocal. She can sing many styles at that with clear and clean sound as if it was polished up in a sound lab. She would probably take a role on Celtic Singer group you see pop up on RUclips very well.
Se non sbaglio quella particolare dissonanza che crea tensione è una nota musicale che poi risolve il suo effetto su una altra nota .Nella composizione musicale si chiama " Ritardo".
Malinda's expressions while singing make you think she really really believes whatever she's singing, like she's invested into the story of the song. She's one of those singers that I prefer watching over just listening, it makes me focus on the lyrics and subtle changes I wouldn't notice if I was watching something else while listening. Also I believe I found of my new favorite bass' with Bobby. Holy shit.
Totally agree. The only other singer I see that same "buy in" into a song is Tuva Semmignsen of the Danish National orchestra. Tuva and Melinda are two singers that the world really needs to know about.
Last summer my wife and I were anchored in the bay on the set where Pirates was filmed for a few nights. I played this tune every night and drank a toast of rum.
As a choir student, hearing each and every harmony was gorgeous. Very well blended. Especially when it comes to that high soprano notes and the bass notes. Those are hard to balance and it is soooo beautiful
I like to imagine that this is a ghost ship where Malinda and Lauren are the sirens that lured Bobby and Colm to their death. And now they're all sailing across the seas luring others to their death with this song beautifully and also very eerily.
The voices of both girls and men are great. The female vocals, though softer, resemble motifs from the film Dune, in which the extreme wasteland and the mystery of mirages reign supreme. At the same time, male vocals immerse you in the time of the Vikings and you can feel the power, struggle and freedom at the same time. But when it comes together in unison, it is difficult even to convey impressions in words. It's something from another world. I really liked it and would like to say thank you for your efforts.
I definitely agree and I listen to this almost always when I go sleeping. I really like Colm's voice but Lauren shocked me at 2:30. I think this four people are one of the most talented in the world❤️
oh my gosh! All the singers are obviously incredible, but the bass singer completely makes this performance! It feels like I am watching a movie scene!
Notice how the female voice gives you a feeling of injustice/sadness/misfortune While the male voice gives an uprising/revenge/enough is enough kinda feeling It’s amazing to me. I am talking about only this song and by no means consider women as inferior to men. It’s just their voice textures naturally represent certain emotions. Awesome performance!
LYRICS (Verse 1) The king and his men Stole the queen from her bed And bound her in her bones. The seas be ours And by the powers Where we will, we'll roam (Chorus) (Repeat x2) Yo ho, all together Hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die. (Verse 2) Some men have died And some are alive And others sail on the sea. With the keys to the cage And the Devil to pay We lay to Fiddler's Green. (Chorus) Yo ho, all together Hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die. (Verse 3) The bell has been raised From it's watery grave. Do you hear its sepulchral tone? We call to all Pay head the squall And turn your sail toward home! (Chorus) (Repeat x2) Yo ho, all together Hoist the colours high. Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die.
Edit: I'M ON TOUR IN APRIL!!!! Come see this beautiful show! It might include some familiar faces :D www.shopmalinda.com/liveshows THANK YOU ALL for the love recently. I ADORE singing this kind of music, especially with friends :D. Check 'em all out!
I work at a haunted attraction with a pirate themed section, I can only imagine how dope it would be to have all the actors enter the zone in the dark with tons of fog singing this song??? Ooof
This hymn has its roots in Celtics lore, probably sang long before the idea of instruments for music. Acapella allows you to here the vocal range, its angelic. They're great 👍
Hans Zimmer wrote this song for the At the World's End pirates movie. Definitely inspired by that, but I haven't found any proof of it existing before that. I was searching for where it came from but that's all I found 😭
As a dude working onboard a ship sailing across the biggest seas, this song fits perfectly specially when we encounter waves high enough to match the bridge of a ship. And in top of it all, we work, sleep and eat as if the waves Don't bother us as if it is the most normal thing..
I am singing along with this song I have loved for a long time. I had thought the Pure Bass version could not be bettered…. But the literal tears in my eyes and the swelling in my throat have proved me wrong. I have not teared up for music in some time now…. This is beauty in the form of sound… Just Wow.
Fact about mermaids and sirens, people think mermaids sound majestic, but they don’t they actually sound terrible trying to keep the sailors away while the sirens have beautiful voices luring sailors to their doom
I started to listen to this on my computer speakers then immediately had to go grab my headphones to hear everything. Such amazing harmonies and melodies. All the voices match together very well. Awesome video!
When I say I have never gotten chills to a song before, I mean that literally. I don't know what it was about this song but I got chills. By far the best arrangement of this song out there. Quite possibly the best song I have ever heard.
Agreed. I know Voiceplay just covered this song, too, and I just can’t help it. I LOVE Voiceplay, but theirs isn’t as good. It’s just too…produced and on-tune? It’s no where as impressive and haunting as this one. 👍🏻
Aww, man. You need to start branching out. Getting chills from a song like this, or orchestral, or even from a movie, a game, is the most amazing feeling ever. Puts me in the rigth spot when I put something on that brings chills. Enjoy a nice little joint and some whisky at the same time - my guilty pleasure :)
I haven't heard the full story in a long time, so correct me if I'm wrong- but this song is about Calypso, a lady who literally *was* the sea. "The king and his men stole the queen from her bed, and bound her in her bones" is talking about how a king (at some point or another) trapped the spirit of the ocean in a woman's body, creating Calypso. She was trapped on an island and barely anyone figured out what she was. In this version of the story Davy Jones fell in love with "the woman as wild as the sea". However, he had to leave her for 10 years, and when he came back he wasn't the same as she remembered. He had turned into the character shown in POTC now. As far as I know, the rest of the song is about a group of pirates rescuing and freeing Calypso. In the movie it is sung by a bunch of people who were accused of being pirates as a protest. Very powerful moment, totally deserving of an equally powerful arrangement :D -Fialeja put lyrics to Davy Jones' theme as well and HOLY COW IT'S GOOD. Highly recommend Myrani and BiggsTheMighty's cover for more chills. I'd also recommend some of the virtual choirs done by The Longest Johns, very very well done. Sorry for the wall of text :P
Fiddler's Green, the afterlife for all sailors. One of the oldest afterlife concepts out there. I always loved the fact that the idea of Fiddler's Green lives on mostly through sea shanties.
Not all Fiddler's Green tales are in sea shanties, some countries cavalry units have there own version. Don't know if your aware or not, but wanted to bring it to your attention.
In school choir we learned "Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper, no more on the docks I'll be seen, just tell me ol shipmates I'm talking a trip mates and I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green"
I want this on spotify, this is legitimately the best version of this I've found and I want to add it to so many playlists EDIT: since I keep getting bombarded with comments, I know it's on Spotify now, when I made this comment 4 months ago it was not on Spotify, and now it is. I get it, ya'll can stop informing me about it, I found out the day it went up on Spotify, and many, many times since. Seriously, who looks at a 4 month old comment with several replies and just assumes that not even one of those replies might have been to tell me that it's up? READ THE REPLIES BEFORE ADDING YOUR TWO CENTS PLEASE!
@@christopherorta8755 but what did it serve Lord Cutler Beckett in the end, to maltreat and to execute all those people just for associating with pirates never mind being them? Look what happened to him in the end! He had a powder magazine literally explode under him when the endeavor was blown up under him.
I mean in POTC it's a war cry for the ungoverned sea faring, the last hope as their people are slaughtered. This song is the final call to fight or die.
That was its purpose in POTC: At World's End. But I agree, this could absolutely be used as a protest anthem! Just change a few words here and there to fit your protest.
This is amazing. Unlike alot of other versions which are epic themes, or hope inspiring tunes. This version is haunting like the song was supposed to be when sung by the child in the film. I liken this to Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence.
@@kostaskurliandskas What part of what Siobhan said contradicts what you said? She was ONLY referring to the first bit where they ARE in unison. Even the second word she wrote should tell you she's more than aware that there is more complex harmony later on.
(A prompt as payment for this lovely cover) The admiral looked out at what was once his prized fleet, now rendered to flaming hulks of wood and steel. Two thirds of his men are either dead or dying, his ship the only one left standing. His first mate was shouting orders to the remaining crew, urging them to get to their battle stations. The Admiral then looked out past the wreckage to see three ships closing in, one faster than the others. The Banshee, who's captain he once called his love, glared at him with a flare that would cause Davy Jones himself to quiver in his place. She held no love for him, no pitty, only unyielding rage, for nothing, not even hell itself, had fury like a woman scorned....
Calypso's Curse. For they bound her in mortal form for Davy Jones told them how to do it. For only a man of pure heart and pure love can release her from her bond.
Some things I like abt the song: 1. I could listen to this ANYDAY. It's SOOOO calming! 2. The voices lap over eachother. Lauren and Malinda's sound so similar, I can barely recognize who is who. Colm's is really deep, so Bobby's voice laps over Colm's. 3. I'd be lured instantly. Colm's voice give me chills, while I could fall asleep to any song Lauren, Malinda, and Bobby sing. That's it. Bye!
Pretty sure if you hear this if you’re on the high seas, you’re going to die very violently. There isn’t a chance at mercy, you’re just hearing unstoppable boss music :/
Such beautiful voices in a wonderful harmony. They're sharing their voices, love and passion for the music. No glitzy complaining power and money hungry singers.
THE HARMONIES at 2:47 was haunting!! Me as a bass singer and also someone who will be studying music, this is a masterpiece. Well done and wish you all the best of luck❤️
I wanna hear Malinda singing Davy Jones theme song , please , please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please who is with me ??
imagine Davy Jones, alone in his cabin, singing "hoist the colours", remembering how he betrayed Calypso to get revenge only to feel even sadder and emptier
I love how the verse "Some men have died and some are alive, and others sail on the seas." implies that the sailors are neither alive, nor dead while they sail, their fate only being know when the ship returns, or fails to.

Damn bro... You're my soul brother.. MKR really looks like she's enjoying herself, with the slow paced-delivery of lines and with playful glances
I can’t handle his voice, LOL. It hits something so deep and tender in my chest and keeps bringing tears to my eyes. I just feel it.
Bobby has such an amazing voice. Love it.
And he looks to be trying to do the same thing, but I dont think it's working out too well for him😂
This cover is unreal. Truly better than the original. Y’all sound ethereal together.
it isnt better its amazing but not better
@@sukyema5302 was gonna say the same thing
@@anthonybarragan959 It's better than the original.
I agree Kelly! HAUNTING! Goosepimples the ENTIRE time!
@@Mad-Lad-Chad nay
Last summer my wife and I were anchored in the bay on the set where Pirates was filmed for a few nights. I played this tune every night and drank a toast of rum.
Bobby's bass voice is crazy af. Feels like you wanna dress up as a damn pirate and just sail the waters for adventure. This is so awesome
As a choir student, hearing each and every harmony was gorgeous. Very well blended. Especially when it comes to that high soprano notes and the bass notes. Those are hard to balance and it is soooo beautiful
Counterpoint is so much fun!
It's so much fun trying to pick out individual voices. And there are times its blended so well you cant tell how many voices there are.
That chord that's spread over like a dozen octaves on "high" is just...
MMMHHH!
SO tasty!
So tasty, I wanna eat it with a glass of Dalwhinnie!
You listened to Voiceplay yet?
Bobby is amazing
I like to imagine that this is a ghost ship where Malinda and Lauren are the sirens that lured Bobby and Colm to their death. And now they're all sailing across the seas luring others to their death with this song beautifully and also very eerily.
The voices of both girls and men are great. The female vocals, though softer, resemble motifs from the film Dune, in which the extreme wasteland and the mystery of mirages reign supreme. At the same time, male vocals immerse you in the time of the Vikings and you can feel the power, struggle and freedom at the same time. But when it comes together in unison, it is difficult even to convey impressions in words. It's something from another world.
I really liked it and would like to say thank you for your efforts.
Imagine being alone in the middle of the ocean at night and wake up to this resonating around you. Chills!!!
Probably start freaking out.
yikes
That's when you know it's time to connect to God's wifi
I would be soooo scared
I’d shit enough bricks to build a bridge to land, so I’d be fine
Absolutely incredible. Malinda’s voice is obviously beautiful, but damn Bobby in the bass absolutely killed it
if you like bobby then you should totally check out Colm Mcguiness. He has such a rich tone it’s insane!
@@jordanshriner8630
And knows how to make one man sound like an entire crew
Her voice sounds like a siren. I freakin love it! I listen to this song mostly before/when I go to bed. I love it!!🥰❤️
I definitely agree and I listen to this almost always when I go sleeping. I really like Colm's voice but Lauren shocked me at 2:30. I think this four people are one of the most talented in the world❤️
2:52 that dissonance was *crispy* I love it
oh my gosh! All the singers are obviously incredible, but the bass singer completely makes this performance! It feels like I am watching a movie scene!
That’s colm. He’s amazing
@@Hituvuvuvu and bobby both of em goatsss
I feel like the deep baritone on the left almost drowns everyone else out though.
@@avrilfan0521 actually it’s colm that’s the low baritone drowning every one out 😂 Bobby (on the left) is a true bass
@@isaiahgilliam1 yeah I can’t figure out who has the more throaty bass sound during the chorus. Is that the baritone?
Notice how the female voice gives you a feeling of injustice/sadness/misfortune
While the male voice gives an uprising/revenge/enough is enough kinda feeling
It’s amazing to me.
I am talking about only this song and by no means consider women as inferior to men. It’s just their voice textures naturally represent certain emotions.
Awesome performance!
I am a woman and I think your comment is accurate and true. No offense taken at all.
I totally agree., an amazing combination., such a joy to listen to!
Thank you
I feel saddened that you had to put that 4th line in
They don't "naturally" represent these emotions, these are the emotions that you as a listener associate with them
LYRICS
(Verse 1)
The king and his men
Stole the queen from her bed
And bound her in her bones.
The seas be ours
And by the powers
Where we will, we'll roam
(Chorus) (Repeat x2)
Yo ho, all together
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
(Verse 2)
Some men have died
And some are alive
And others sail on the sea.
With the keys to the cage
And the Devil to pay
We lay to Fiddler's Green.
(Chorus)
Yo ho, all together
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
(Verse 3)
The bell has been raised
From it's watery grave.
Do you hear its sepulchral tone?
We call to all
Pay head the squall
And turn your sail toward home!
(Chorus) (Repeat x2)
Yo ho, all together
Hoist the colours high.
Heave ho, thieves and beggars
Never shall we die.
Thank you
THANK YOUR SOUL
Can't stop playing it.
Makes me want to quit my job and just sail in the look for a treasure.

This is the most beautiful rendition I've ever heard of this. And it's a beautiful song anyway. It really moves the soul. ❤
This was….haunting…beautiful….terrifying….mystical…..and spectacular overall.
Well said
Totally agree
It sent a chill up my spine at the gym lol
I couldn’t have said it better!
this kinda sharp C# by Lauren, that creeps in like an overtone at 2:50 makes this rendition so much more spicy and haunting, its AMAZING! Good work.
Not just Lauren, Crom sings a C# too. It sounds great.
@@toprak3479 it's amazing
Oooooohhh my god just got to that point. These harmonies are gorgeous and creepy all at once.
got goosebumps the first time ive heard it, it didnt sound good, but it confused me a lot, great
Chills absolute chills when I heard it, it sounds like it doesn’t belong but it dose and it fits amazingly
Edit: I'M ON TOUR IN APRIL!!!! Come see this beautiful show! It might include some familiar faces :D www.shopmalinda.com/liveshows
THANK YOU ALL for the love recently. I ADORE singing this kind of music, especially with friends :D. Check 'em all out!
We adore watching it!
Of course love you 😍
hey MALINDA can you do covers for songs from six the musical?
Please do a collab with Lauren and Tomi P :D
THIS WAS HONESTLY TOO BEAUTIFUL PLEASE PLEASE WORK WITH THEM AGAIN
The Sirens and Viking have banded together once again🎉
I work at a haunted attraction with a pirate themed section, I can only imagine how dope it would be to have all the actors enter the zone in the dark with tons of fog singing this song??? Ooof
This hymn has its roots in Celtics lore, probably sang long before the idea of instruments for music. Acapella allows you to here the vocal range, its angelic. They're great 👍
Of course this is Celtic. Like anything this epic could come from anywhere else
Hans Zimmer wrote this song for the At the World's End pirates movie. Definitely inspired by that, but I haven't found any proof of it existing before that. I was searching for where it came from but that's all I found 😭
@@leftovertaco100 👍
@leftovertaco100 Hans Zimmer wrote the score. It was 2 of the films writers (Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio) who wrote the lyrics
@@sideering370 👍
As a dude working onboard a ship sailing across the biggest seas, this song fits perfectly specially when we encounter waves high enough to match the bridge of a ship. And in top of it all, we work, sleep and eat as if the waves Don't bother us as if it is the most normal thing..
dang okay XD
I am singing along with this song I have loved for a long time. I had thought the Pure Bass version could not be bettered…. But the literal tears in my eyes and the swelling in my throat have proved me wrong.
I have not teared up for music in some time now….
This is beauty in the form of sound…
Just Wow.
2:50 gives me massive chills with the erie high harmony and the basses is **chefs kiss** amazing
The harmony at 2:52 is absolutely incredible. I wonder what type of chord it is. Sounds simply amazing.
It's a Cm7 with a B inversion and a bass subharmonic that allows him to sing two octaves at once.
@@toprak3479 Cm7 dim9 (C, E, G, Bb, Db)
@@crowbar_the_rogue It's actually just C7b9 without the E
That's Lauren going into full siren mode. Seriosuly her abilities make me wonder at times if she's even human 😆
Masterpiece 🏴☠️
I tell you 👍👍👍❤️
Sea of Thieves
Deserves a chefs kiss
Fucking awesome
This is roughly 5 minutes of a constant chilling of the spine... My goosebumps could grate cheese for cryingout loud! Wow! Bravo!
Same!!!!
I need to steal the phrase "my goosebumps could grate cheese" 😂 you're not wrong tho
I like the way you think and feel the same. Just such an epic sound.
LMAO yeah btw i'm stealing that phrase if that's okay
its only 4min 30 sec... the first 30 second was nonsense.
Fact about mermaids and sirens, people think mermaids sound majestic, but they don’t they actually sound terrible trying to keep the sailors away while the sirens have beautiful voices luring sailors to their doom
I started to listen to this on my computer speakers then immediately had to go grab my headphones to hear everything. Such amazing harmonies and melodies. All the voices match together very well. Awesome video!
I literally just bought $200 headphones on Amazon just to listen to Bobby sing properly
Is it normal to get emotional from people singing so beautifully?😭
For me, yes it is.
Yes :)
It's totally normal.
,Lauren should have been showcased more in this song ...her soprano voice is haunting and ethereal!
My daughter (just turned 1) loves this. We play this for her and she instantly relaxes and calms down. So soothing.
When I say I have never gotten chills to a song before, I mean that literally. I don't know what it was about this song but I got chills. By far the best arrangement of this song out there. Quite possibly the best song I have ever heard.
Agreed. I know Voiceplay just covered this song, too, and I just can’t help it. I LOVE Voiceplay, but theirs isn’t as good. It’s just too…produced and on-tune? It’s no where as impressive and haunting as this one. 👍🏻
Aww, man. You need to start branching out. Getting chills from a song like this, or orchestral, or even from a movie, a game, is the most amazing feeling ever. Puts me in the rigth spot when I put something on that brings chills. Enjoy a nice little joint and some whisky at the same time - my guilty pleasure :)
I haven't heard the full story in a long time, so correct me if I'm wrong- but this song is about Calypso, a lady who literally *was* the sea.
"The king and his men stole the queen from her bed, and bound her in her bones" is talking about how a king (at some point or another) trapped the spirit of the ocean in a woman's body, creating Calypso. She was trapped on an island and barely anyone figured out what she was.
In this version of the story Davy Jones fell in love with "the woman as wild as the sea". However, he had to leave her for 10 years, and when he came back he wasn't the same as she remembered. He had turned into the character shown in POTC now.
As far as I know, the rest of the song is about a group of pirates rescuing and freeing Calypso. In the movie it is sung by a bunch of people who were accused of being pirates as a protest. Very powerful moment, totally deserving of an equally powerful arrangement :D
-Fialeja put lyrics to Davy Jones' theme as well and HOLY COW IT'S GOOD. Highly recommend Myrani and BiggsTheMighty's cover for more chills. I'd also recommend some of the virtual choirs done by The Longest Johns, very very well done.
Sorry for the wall of text :P
Actually hummed this melody to my son to make him sleep for many years now, it works:) Wonderful rendition by you guys:) Thank you:)
Nice
March of Caembreadth for my daughters.
Oh thats nice😎👍
Realizing the sentence properly
Me: uhm buddy😨😰
Fiddler's Green, the afterlife for all sailors. One of the oldest afterlife concepts out there. I always loved the fact that the idea of Fiddler's Green lives on mostly through sea shanties.
Not all Fiddler's Green tales are in sea shanties, some countries cavalry units have there own version. Don't know if your aware or not, but wanted to bring it to your attention.
Half way down the trail to hell....
Fiddlers green the resting place of soldiers and sailors. "For if I fall under saber keen you'll find me there at fiddlers green"
Huh… and here I know Fiddler’s Green as the outdoor amphitheater where I first saw Evanescence…
In school choir we learned "Wrap me up in me oilskins and jumper, no more on the docks I'll be seen, just tell me ol shipmates I'm talking a trip mates and I'll see you someday in Fiddlers Green"
Outstanding Lauren! Made the whole work ethereal and other-worldly...
I want this on spotify, this is legitimately the best version of this I've found and I want to add it to so many playlists
EDIT: since I keep getting bombarded with comments, I know it's on Spotify now, when I made this comment 4 months ago it was not on Spotify, and now it is. I get it, ya'll can stop informing me about it, I found out the day it went up on Spotify, and many, many times since. Seriously, who looks at a 4 month old comment with several replies and just assumes that not even one of those replies might have been to tell me that it's up? READ THE REPLIES BEFORE ADDING YOUR TWO CENTS PLEASE!
Saaaame i wish it was there!
yes omg please some one make it happen
I hope they release it on spotify
I was just wondering the same. I really really hope to see it there soon!
Get youtube music
Imagine if they sung this in The Pirates of the Caribbean, so magnificent and haunting…❤️🔥
I think it was!
@@anneglossop8521 but this version would be very haunting in VR
It was sung at the beginning of "At World's End" during a mass execution of pirates at Port Royal being overseen by Lord Cutler Beckett himself.
@@christopherorta8755 but what did it serve Lord Cutler Beckett in the end, to maltreat and to execute all those people just for associating with pirates never mind being them? Look what happened to him in the end! He had a powder magazine literally explode under him when the endeavor was blown up under him.
If this was the song for the end credits of the third one it would have been a haunting finish to a great movie
This sounds like something that could be sung during a protest, it just has that vibe
Down with the Dutch east India trading company!
@@katderiemer4052
AYE!
I mean in POTC it's a war cry for the ungoverned sea faring, the last hope as their people are slaughtered. This song is the final call to fight or die.
It literally is in POTC
That was its purpose in POTC: At World's End. But I agree, this could absolutely be used as a protest anthem! Just change a few words here and there to fit your protest.
For whatever has been lost in The Troubles is now found by these artists. Long live both sides.
This song shivered me timbers.
This is amazing. Unlike alot of other versions which are epic themes, or hope inspiring tunes. This version is haunting like the song was supposed to be when sung by the child in the film.
I liken this to Disturbed's cover of Sound of Silence.
Haunting, chilling, magical, priceless, amazing. My all time favorite version of the song
Same :D
I do enjoy.
Your the best.
the harmony sounds magnificent, of course, but y'all singing octaves, especially you and the basso profundo, is haunting in the best way
Much agreed!!!
You've probably listened to the first verse then, because verses 2-3 have polyphony. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong 😅
@@kostaskurliandskas What part of what Siobhan said contradicts what you said? She was ONLY referring to the first bit where they ARE in unison. Even the second word she wrote should tell you she's more than aware that there is more complex harmony later on.
The Stairwell Siren, The Lost Princess, The Cruel Captain and The Great Evil
Was trying to place Lauren's voice...since I couldn't single it out.
Went back & listened to some of her covers...now I can.
Well this is going on the list of Pirates of the Caribbean covers that I love
Am i the only one whos body completely covered in goosebumbs when she started singing?
I was obsessed with the duo between you and bass, so I'm excited you made a full cover!
3:46 always gives me chills holy cow that beautiful yet creepy harmony. Edit 1:I think it's actually the echo that makes it so powerful.
bro the yo, ho part at that timestamp makes me feel like a fucking army of rebels just destroyed nyc
That part feels like a group singing together, whilst the others feel like one person with one voice too many ✨
Remember this video?
your voices blend together amazingly
THE BEST COVER ON THE PLANET.
NEVER SHALL WE DIE.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
Wow. I was never in choir but with that blend and only 4 voices that's just amazing.
Here I am thinking that Colm looked like a floating head while everyone else actually had bodies to go with theirs
Wait it does look like his head is floating
Lmaooo
Part of the ship, part of the crew....
@@glynrh8892
PART OF THE SHIP PART OF THE CREW
@@MasterHall117 *PART OF THE SHIP, PART OF THE CREW*
(A prompt as payment for this lovely cover)
The admiral looked out at what was once his prized fleet, now rendered to flaming hulks of wood and steel. Two thirds of his men are either dead or dying, his ship the only one left standing. His first mate was shouting orders to the remaining crew, urging them to get to their battle stations. The Admiral then looked out past the wreckage to see three ships closing in, one faster than the others. The Banshee, who's captain he once called his love, glared at him with a flare that would cause Davy Jones himself to quiver in his place. She held no love for him, no pitty, only unyielding rage, for nothing, not even hell itself, had fury like a woman scorned....
This... This is one of the best prices of literature i have read in a while, I want to see this in a movie.
I desperately need you to release the book. Can I expect this to start on Wattpad? I’d buy the book once it came out regardless lol
@@ozzyrobbins9009 lol, I need this too!
Calypso's Curse. For they bound her in mortal form for Davy Jones told them how to do it. For only a man of pure heart and pure love can release her from her bond.
Truly beautiful.
I get chills running down my spine and goose bumps when I hear u guys sing.....I linsten to this video over and over.....u guys are awesome
Some things I like abt the song:
1. I could listen to this ANYDAY. It's SOOOO calming!
2. The voices lap over eachother. Lauren and Malinda's sound so similar, I can barely recognize who is who. Colm's is really deep, so Bobby's voice laps over Colm's.
3. I'd be lured instantly. Colm's voice give me chills, while I could fall asleep to any song Lauren, Malinda, and Bobby sing.
That's it. Bye!
Pretty sure if you hear this if you’re on the high seas, you’re going to die very violently. There isn’t a chance at mercy, you’re just hearing unstoppable boss music :/
