What a great rendition of the song, found this chasing links from other shanties. Good job guys! A special song and I love hearing alternate takes on it - good message about overcoming survivor's guilt and moving on from loss.
It doesn't feel right. But I will say the voices are lovely and beautiful. Maybe try to change it more like a long drawn out celtic song like loreena mckennitt( mystics dream)
It's a contemporary shanty and songs are meant to be interpreted in a variety of ways. I personally quite like this cover, even if not 100% authentic. If anything, it's far more interesting than a 1:1 cover.
Funny enough, The Longest Johns, same band that made Bones in the Ocean, literally have a song all about gatekeeping folk music and contemporary interpretations, much like the guy you're responding to just did lol. It's called "Ashes". You probably already knew about the song, but I just thought it was mighty ironic that somebody literally did the thing they're talking about on a cover of one of their songs haha.@@everydayistacotuesday9847
it's not a shanty in the first place, so it's fine. It's a shanty inspired folk song. Shanties are work songs, with call and response, designed to make people work a certain way

Beautifully sung gentlemen!
The onion ninjas must be around, because my eyes are leaking. Beautiful.

A great cover of the original❤.
Amazing!
Well done gents. This song is so sad I could never perform it.
Many thanks, brother. It certainly was a tear-jerker to perform. God bless.
@@nathanm5653 i can't even listen to it without the pain of loss coming to the surface. You guys did great. Keep it up.
Beautiful cover
Lovely.

I cried from how beautiful this is

Eh, a bit too refined. Shanties should feel natural, not opera-alike.
