It pretty much is our second national anthem.
My Canadian classmates in grad school introduced me to Stan Rogers, giving me an additional fondness for your great country. Be proud.
This should be our national anthem!
Nine years after this was first posted, this is one of the most amazing covers of this song. This song makes me so proud of my Canadian heritage. And I’m only 17
I was sent this by a Canadian friend. At first, I didn't get it. Then I listened again and again. The lads did a great job with a song of great passion and pride. Simon really did a great job with his solo :)
it’s been 2️⃣ years since i did this song in choir in junior high school. my former choir teacher was the greatest choir teacher i could’ve ever asked for in my life.
I sang this song for my brother at his rehearsal dinner last year.
never heard the Waterboys before. My loss! They do a great justice to the art of music.
Stan would be proud of this.
I don’t often hear the chorus sung as a harmony or the song itself sung like a lament. Thank you, gentlemen, that was indeed very lovely.
Yep, you gents have passed “The Chills Test” with this great performance!
I am covered in goosebumps and holding back tears. Incredible
Well done!! Stan would be proud of you!!
This is such a great Canadian song.. love it!
Fine effort, Stan would have pleased. Sadly taken from us far too early, RIP your songs carry on.
This is absolutely brilliant.
The song was already earmeltingly beautiful,
And you good people crafted something unique and glorious from it.
Thank you for posting this!
Takes my breath away!
This sounds beautiful~ There aren't many covers of this song that I approve of, but I definitely approve of this one :D
Keep singing! I'm going to go on a spree of your videos now haha
AtharAqua look up Unleash The Archers cover of the song. You’d think it shouldn’t work sung as a metal song but it really does.
thinking of this song as the icebreaker Labrador I served on was towed to the scrapyard from Halifax harbor, a sa ending for a great ship
Nicely done, gents!
Yes he would. This is beautiful.
Hope you're all still singing strong! Much enjoyed. Coffs Harbour NSW Australia
definitely singing everyday brotha.
most enjoyable. pleasure to watch and listen too
thank you guys for making my dad happy
Nicely done boys!!
It was valiant effort by the soloists, I'll give them that. One thing I can recommend is either the soloists drop down a couple steps into a more comfortable range, or just sing it naturally. Stan Rogers didn't do anything fancy with this song, so simpler is better if wanting to stay true-to-form. However, I am impressed with the solo attempts and the chorus overall.
I would have said just have the same soloist throughout, the first guy seemed the most comfortable
Good job , but i hear one above all the rest.
John Kelly true, the first guy sang it very well in my opinion
I've played this a few times, solo and duet, and there's just something that is naturally challenging to the work. Bless you for your effort. I found it most pleasant to listen to. Keep making music, fellow singers.
Amazing. Keep going like this, guys.
Wow! This is beautiful. You really do justice to the song, and that's not easy.
You made a long-time Stan Rogers fan very happy. Thanks!
Great job and great choice of songs, gents. You were ahead of your time.
Beautiful.
absolutely amazing!
wonderful
loved it
Me: This is great. Beautiful and relaxing.
Some Karen in the back: *COUGH*
Ah yes, damn her and her itchy throat.
Amazing!!!
Great cover!
This is beautiful, great job lads!
Great job!
Chilling!
Well done guys.
Phenomenal job boiz
A wonderful song and for an amateur group, well done!!
Pretty good
Awesome performance, awesome sound!
Where can i find the sheet music for it?
Does anyone know who Modabo is? They had a ridiculous a capella version in the 90s and I cant find it anywhere. Possibly better then The Man's himself.
The third sololist HAS to be from the Maritimes!! ♥
He was very good! A lot like Stan’s voice.
17 boys attempt make the sound of one true man! not as good as the man himself, but a great cover nonetheless...thank you
Subtitles obviously loves this song because it got the words correct
These guys have such interesting faces, even those who aren't conventionally handsome.
This would have been better, though, if they had sung it about a step or a step and a half lower.
2:25 the guy in the top right corner, watch his expressions. Can't he be more like the guy in top left corner, same moment?
O M G that is hilarious!
Nicely done, but should have stayed with the first soloist throughout the tune, the others seemed to lose it. He had the best effort of them all. The song was saved by him coming back as the last lead.
By the time this video was over i grew a full beard and tamed a timberwolf by simply listening.
The second soloist was a bit above his range. They should either have transposed it about a minor third down or gotten someone else to do it.
Loved singing - nicer pants needed
Canadians!
How can you not help from sticking a hand out with the franklin line
They need someone covering the higher tenor line... I am disappoint..
Yeah, but this time do it in key and on time...
Chorus sounds amazing! Phenomenal even!
Your soloists could be stronger though; tone, phrasing, and even lyrics need some looking at. Also, with stronger soloists you could cut out all that oo-ing, stay truer to the original.
He looks like the guy who sings Timmy's Anthem.
You did a wonderful job but... Dang, boys, it's FRASER, Not Fraiser. My grandfather and his father would be rolling in their graves. :P
Some better breath control would have helped the soloists. Agreed the whole piece should have been dropped a tone or two.
Brilliant needs more energetic solos tho
Canadian AF
Very well done, but not a big fan of the soloists
Unleash The Archers brought me here
Shanties dont belong in choirs.
@@fiends8908 keep your incomprehensibly ignorant statements in your cranium, bud.
@@fiends8908 as a poly instrumentalist, shantyman, common party host, as well as a polite and generous guest; actually most people find me a delight. In day to day life I am actually quite patient, understanding, and fair minded in terms of what people say or do or choose. However, when it is objectively against precedent, almost deliberately ignorant, or down right stupid, then I simply must intervene. It's a failing, granted, but it lets me lead my life with intellectual consistency, and allows me to predict the potential probability of that happening in certain social circles; thus enabling me to preemptively avoid them, as I have no interest in spending time with ignorant or misinformed individuals as a potential majority of any room.
That's why I am yet to visit the United States.
@@fiends8908 because you can't even understand the history of the composition or the basic details as to what makes The Northwest Passage a shanty.
@@fiends8908 I am not taking time out of my life to educate you on this. If you want to learn, take the initiative, and crack a book.
@@fiends8908 that does not mean that it follows the same style that defines the song as such. It's the same way that music can be written in the classical or baroque styles today, even though their progenitive eras have already passed. If you can't understand that, I honestly don't see how you can be helped.
