I love how blank and unchanging his face looks throughout the song up until the end. It really helps show how creepy and unhealthy his revenge is. I love this so much!
Honestly imo not really. It'd make more sense for him to be alot more emotional and more expressive since he's finally found the guy after 15-20 years. Him being blank faced and unchanging just makes no sense to me
Given that this was someone's college thesis, I expect that great things await in the future. I will always like the Decemberist's version of the song better though.
Cuz the commenters are missing the mark: yeah, the Decembrists version is better. It's never going to happen to have someone outperform the Decembrists with their own music. This video doesn't need that. It's got high production value and turns the music into something more akin to what you'd expect in a TV show
Decemberists did it better, also, historical relativism is at play here. Songs like this typically found themselves in English folklore. I dont mean to be racist, but people are interjecting their ideologies into songs about sea chanties based on real events.
@@BlyatBear , are you being serious? The fact that you refer to this song narrated from a character inside a whale's belly as "based on real events" suggest that you're joking and making fun of anti-SJW weirdos who get all butthurt whenever they see a person of color in a piece of entertainment. But, RUclips being what it is, I still have some lingering fear that you might mean it.
Joel Atwater yes yes but he means eastern Asian, you’re just being pedantic. Besides, India is its own subcontinent really. You know what he was saying, and it was a valid point. The child’s appearance is nothing like the adult’s
Yeah, and the man has a true gift for displaying his sentiment. You can clearly see the evolution of the dude's feelings as his face contorts from emotions such as despair, all the way into an obvious form of absolute terror.
Fear Can manifest itself in millions of ways it's not always visual some people who are afraid smile even though that's demented in a lot of other people's eyes but it's still a reaction of fear for example when I'm afraid I don't display it put my fingers I have this twitch that's consistent roughly every 5 to 10 seconds that they will switch without my control and it's because of my anxiety and my fear is getting bigger bigger
@@Timbo__Slice I would argue that the man is established to be a heavy drinker, and alcoholism can definitely age you physically. I think that combined with being out at sea time and time again over long periods probably contributed to his haggard appearance, that and people who are in their mid-30s can start going gray/white, especially if their constitution isn't the best. I know this comment is old, just something I was thinking about myself... this is the only explanation I came up with. If you want to think more metaphorically, you could consider it a stylistic choice, as the younger man seems scarily alive with the prospect of finally getting his revenge, while the other is frail, gray, almost dead-looking. He's "not far from his end," as it were.
imo this fact i still dont think can fully explain it, but the era of this setting you were a graying old man at 35-45 white past that but yea cant explain him less it was actually more like 25 years as doesn't say he is still a young adult when he over hears the tale, nor how long it actually took the ship to run in to the other ship as that could have been months or even years as it also doesn't say the whaler was just getting off the boat, he could have been off for a while and then gone to the priests.
Love the deep voice for the mother and that she dies on the street - I've seen a lot of interpretations have her lying on a bed, but I think yours makes the whole story that much more tragic and realistic. I also think your video captures a deeper connection between the mother and son, particularly with them laughing and dancing on the boat, which is both wholesome and terrifying considering the mother is a ghost and the two are laughing about their plot to violently torture and kill a man. And not to mention the costumes! I particularly like what the mother is wearing inside the house and her ghostly outfit. Nice attention to detail including stays! Periodically showing the Mariner and the Captain inside the whale contributed to the balance and variety of scenes and made extra use of one of this videos strengths: having real people play the characters - which gave a more raw and realistic feel and allowed for more focus on facial expressions. Quite a captivating watch throughout. Well done 👏👏
Reminds me of Les Miserables or Phantom of the Opera. The Decemberists should consider writing a complete musical telling this tale from childhood until these final moments. I think it might work.
I like the lady's voice in this version waay better. The other version is pretty, don't get me wrong, but this one has emotion, proper emotion for that type of scene. You can hear the emotion.
Yeah plus the voice is just a bit TOO grating in the original. Like, I get it she’s a depraved, crazy woman but any time after my first time listening to the song it just worsens the experience. Not to mention anytime I’m playing it in public it’s the only part other people ever hear and it always freaks them out
@@xystem4701 actually, that is the part they tend to clap after because they liked it. At one live concert, everyone even joined in when that part came on.
@@selestedoesntevencare2169 I found myself maniacally singing that refrain yesterday, while thinking of my ex-husband who did all he could to destroy me and his son, 30 years ago. Our's is a long story involving kidnap and murder, and I appeared on "Unsolved Mysteries" in 1997 to describe his crimes. I can't watch that episode, I look so dead inside but I was anything but. I was controlling my rage. My ex went to prison for 4 years, on a different charge. He was never indicted for murder. When I found he was to be released, I sold my house and moved 1500 miles with my little boy and our two cats. When I got to my new state, I went to court and changed my name to something very common, and was able to get some recent details removed from my credit report so he couldn't track me. 20 years ago, I bought a 20 acre property in the mountains, no neighbors for 2 miles. We're off-grid, only one dirt road to my house so I know when someone is driving this way. We've lived peacefully here for 17 years. Last month my son received a letter. From the man who murdered our family member and hurt us in every way he could. He's found us. My son is 31 now. We discussed what to do if this monster shows up. We just don't know which of us should pull the trigger. My son is a better shot, but if someone goes to prison for ending that monster's reign of terror, it should be me. My son asked, "What if you're incapacitated? What if he shoots you first?" With a maniacal grin I sang: THEN... "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his graaaaaaaaaaave!"🎶
People who are having a hard time grasping the songs timeline, allow me to shine some light. He was 3 when his mother Met this man... realistically they probably spent a few years together before he had so much debt he had to flee from debts. So now the child is 6, the mother wandered the streets for a year until consumption killed her probably due to lack of shelter and good food. child is now 7 it took me 15years to swallow all my tears... now the child is a young man of 23 and works for the church sweeping.. .probably another year or two at least before overhearing the news, so hes 25 and sets sail... he could have realistically been at sea for YEARS before catching up to the ship in question... so he could be in his late twenties or mid 30s by the time he finally catches up to the crook. the crook would be roughly in his late 40s to mid 50s at this point... so this old man isnt too far off from how an elderly sailor might look.
There are theories that suggest the guy he kills isn't the actual captain, and just some guy he found who he can take out his anger on before death. So confusion kind of makes sense in that aspect.
@@noelle3780 if so, it can take on a new reading. He knows they'll die anyway so he might as well ease the boy's pain. Is it unlikely? possibly but we've seen stranger things in fables
This is a pretty good rendition of the song. If I could offer one criticism, Sam sounds too unemotional in the first half of the video. He's confronting the man who ruined his life; he should be fuming. He gets better around the three minute mark though, showing anger and even mania by the end.
That's actually not always the case you would be amazed of how burnt-out people are where they're filled with so much emotion that their emotional display doesn't present any of it because you have been wanting and tasting it for so long an empty feeling of Darkness takes you over
I feel like the emotionless expression and such actually make it better, cause we see this sort of change in character, he goes from seeming tired and battered down, such would be the case for someone who loses everything they have, but slowly see him build into that almost manic sort of glee as he reaches the point of killing the man who ruined his and his mother’s life
My only complaint is that the old man showed regret on his face throughout the video while listening to his past. I kind of imagined the man in the song to be sitting down, uncertain about what he'll do once he's finished with the story, not regretting his past. At the end it got better since the old man's face showed that he was curious what the mariner would do next but still didn't really have a scared look on his face. Other than these two things though the video was really good.
INCREDIBLE in all aspects! Music, visuals, acting, PRODUCTION VALUE, detail, holy wow!! Wow!!!! Be proud of this! It’s my favorite version by far and inspirational in its quality. Great job.
I would agree with you on all but the acting unless you have a stupidly low standard for acting. They were all meh at best. The mother did put the most effort so bravo to her. The captin had most of his emotions shown through his makeup with the dark circles on his eyes. While the main dude was lifeless the entire song and gave little to no emotion the entire time. I mean in the whale scenes he looked liked he was reading the most uninteresting book in the world then smiled a little for a whole of like 3 seconds and went back to lifeless for the ending. For the whole thing I give it As and Bs besides acting thats a D-. They would get a F but the mother saved, i mean hell the child gave more emotion than the main dude.

How did I never see this version 5 years ago when I was OBSESSED with this song??? The framing, the production vaule. Everything is PEAK....I only wish I'd found it sooner!!
@@bittlesthecookieakacaitcat8798 yes the original is very good, but this version is nowhere close to that... far beyond the skills of the performers in this video
I loved the video and you know what I felt like the singing added a more natural thing to it sure it's not as good as the actual singers but the way it's conveyed with the video makes it amazing we're supposed to feel this guy's pain and this isn't a song about handing is it's a painful song to sing so the emotion behind the character makes it feel like that's what it was going for
I loved this song and the animations that came with it. Just a terrific haunting tale. However you did something with it that can only be described as art. You did so much with your eyes. Sometimes gleeful at reaching his goal. You see them drift into sorrow over his mothers death and then straight into a horrible rage. True showcase of the misery that creates a broken man consumed with revenge. I am so happy I clicked on your video when I searched for this song again. I subscribed and will look into your other content very soon.
Damn, this is really good! It's really professional-looking! Ugh, now I wish someone would make an actual movie out of this song lol. Nothing like a good old-fashioned revenge story, amirite? XD Seriously though, good job.
if I didn't know this song by heart I'd be asking what musical this came from and googling where to stream it, good work! (Unfortunately I do, and it gives me an irrational hatred of how clearly he's enunciating all the words, lol.)
I've seen a few comments saying the man didn't look afraid at the end, but I think he did. It isn't like a cowering for his life kinda fear, it was a cold fear of the unknown/expectation of what's going to happen
We are two mariners Our ships' sole survivors In this belly of a whale Its ribs are ceiling beams Its guts are carpeting I guess we have some time to kill You may not remember me I was a child of three And you, a lad of eighteen But I remember you And I will relay to you How our histories interweave At the time you were A rake and a roustabout Spending all your money On the whores and hounds Oh You had a charming air All cheap and debonair My widowed mother found so sweet And so she took you in Her sheets still warm with him Now filled with filth and foul disease As time wore on you proved A debt-ridden drunken mess Leaving my mother A poor consumptive wretch Oh, oh And then you disappeared Your gambling arrears The only thing you left behind And then the magistrate Reclaimed our small estate And my poor mother lost her mind Then, one day in spring My dear sweet mother died But before she did I took her hand as she, dying, cried Oh, oh "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up naked Clawing at the ceiling of his grave" It took me fifteen years To swallow all my tears Among the urchins in the street Until a priory Took pity and hired me To keep their vestry nice and neat But never once in the employ Of these holy men Did I ever once turn my mind From the thought of revenge Oh, oh One night I overheard The prior exchanging words With a penitent whaler from the sea The captain of his ship Who matched you toe to tip Was known for wanton cruelty The following day I shipped to sea with a privateer And in the whistle of the wind I could almost hear Oh, oh "Find him, bind him Tie him to a pole and break His fingers to splinters Drag him to a hole Until he wakes up, naked Clawing at the ceiling of his grave There is one thing I must say to you As you sail across the sea Always, your mother will watch over you As you avenge this wicked deed" And then, that fateful night We had you in our sight After twenty months at sea Your starboard flank abeam I was getting my muskets clean When came this rumbling from beneath The ocean shook The sky went black And the captain quailed And before us grew The angry jaws Of a giant whale Oh, oh, oh, oh Don't know how I survived The crew all was chewed alive I must have slipped between his teeth But, oh, what providence What divine intelligence That you should survive as well as me It gives my heart great joy To see your eyes fill with fear So lean in close and I will whisper The last words you'll hear Oh, oh
I absolutely LOVE how angry the mothers words sound the longer she talks about killing the crooked man
Me too!
Its so cool and I can sing along with the song!
Makes you horny at a primal level you cant avoid
I love how blank and unchanging his face looks throughout the song up until the end. It really helps show how creepy and unhealthy his revenge is. I love this so much!
I mean if someone drove a person you deeply deeply cared for to their own demise - you too would be in that same boat (Or whale I guess).

I love that someone made a live action version. I still think that the animatic is better. The music is stronger in that one. This is still awesome.

There are many animatics. This is a tribute song to the original. The animatics use the actual song from the Decemberists. Usually

This is good, though i feel it lacks the same level of emotion as the Decembrists.
Eh he doesnt sound like he is putting enough emotion into it, and the beginning was extremely shaky
You already said that nvm
The singer has a weak performance. He should have just mouthed over the original.
Old dude just looked confused, not scared.
He should be. This is probably not the first persons family he’s ruined at the age he’s shown in. He probably doesn’t remember the kid.

Why are 90% of the comments so recent when this was published like 3 years ago...?
sea of thieve me friend this is why
@@jaybornkiller I'm not sure I understand
@@greypoint000 its a game people search more pirate song
An animantic of the song has been going around recommendations.
RUclips algorithim my friend
THIS IS SO COOL OMG the production quality? The set design? The filming? I just,, AAGGH ITS SO GOOD
I love how Vince goes from not giving a shit to slowly filled with terror.
I loved this song and the animations that came with it. Just a terrific haunting tale. However you did something with it that can only be described as art. You did so much with your eyes. Sometimes gleeful at reaching his goal. You see them drift into sorrow over his mothers death and then straight into a horrible rage. True showcase of the misery that creates a broken man consumed with revenge. I am so happy I clicked on your video when I searched for this song again. I subscribed and will look into your other content very soon.
Regardless of the other versions, I Have to give them credit for what they spent on the live action. Perfect.
he didnt look very afraid... he looked confused the entire time like "dude i dont think this is the right guy" lol
its really cool to see a live adaptation of this song
Damn, this is really good! It's really professional-looking! Ugh, now I wish someone would make an actual movie out of this song lol. Nothing like a good old-fashioned revenge story, amirite? XD Seriously though, good job.
The step dad is too old, he’s suppose to be 33.
Back then you were lucky to live to be 33 so 33 was old
Kalil Jackson lmao fair enough, still doesn’t quite explain the white hair tho
I mean, my dad looked like that when he was 40, its not too outlandish
it seems like it ws more than a couple months between when they met and she died. also he was looking for him almost 2yrs I say 35ish
Wait, why was this not recommended? This is amazing
Woah
Great job guys
Thank you for creating this
This is amazing. I’ve watched so many videos of people doing something like this for the song but none of them do it right. This one is perfect.
Hot damn! This was so damn good. I've always wanted to see a video for this song and you nailed it.
I’ve always wondered what the guy must’ve thought while the singer was telling the story.
How have I not seen this before, I listen to the song all the time, this is a great video.
Great video but the singing wasent very enthusiastic deserves more views though
Excellent work! Very well done. A combination of a tragically beautiful narrative with equally beautiful vocals and visuals.
WOW!!!
This is so cool and creepy in he same time!!!!!!!!
And who realizes when their in the whale it looks like Pinocchio?
AMAZING! love this song and every bit of this was amazing to me, thankyou so much for making this
This is really well done!
I've known this song for years and this is the best live-action rendition of it. Bravo from me.
Excellent. They should've adopted this as the music video
Not me almost crying when his mother danced with him again 😭
Good work. The actors could have sold it better, but besides that everything else was excellent.
if I didn't know this song by heart I'd be asking what musical this came from and googling where to stream it, good work!
(Unfortunately I do, and it gives me an irrational hatred of how clearly he's enunciating all the words, lol.)
This was really well done. Absolutely outstanding.
I’m obsessed with this song and video-
this was actually really good
Wonderful! Good work !
I've seen a few comments saying the man didn't look afraid at the end, but I think he did. It isn't like a cowering for his life kinda fear, it was a cold fear of the unknown/expectation of what's going to happen
I absolutely love this song and to see a video like this to accompany it is just beautiful 💕💕💕 I love this beyond belief
So why is he Asian when he's young but as he grows up he's seemingly Mediterranean?
filipino?
@@lj-wp3sf Holy shit this makes sense lmao.
His dad wasn't an asian apparently
We are all brothers
The clip is badass but the music and vocals are much better from the decemberists
Why haven´t this hit 1 million views already?!
15 years apart, that guy's aged terribly
Great video. Good voice. Kickass actors.
This is a pretty damn good video, well done.
This is incredibly well done!
Wait. Did this guy make this? If so, holy shit that’s good
The decemberists wrote the song if that's what you mean
@@tyalex_1044 yea, and their version is much better in my opinion. Has so much more lustre that this one lacks.
Why are there only five comments. Also they look way too unenthusiastic
You've answered your own question my friend, at least partially.
She died in the middle of the street?
no she died on the side of the road
Really well done! Great job!
I really enjoyed this recreation i get the feeling if you guys keep it up you may get somewhere big.
This has got to be the best one of this song I've seen
Damn this is an amazing cover and video 10/10
This is so cool!
Great video
I love songs like this
no seriously, this NEEDS more views, this is legit amazing!!!!
Really enjoyed this cover and the video helps people bring the song to life Great Production
I like this
holy cow this is so cool
Wonderful
I don't always drink while about to be killed in the belly of a whale..
But when I do, I drink Dos Equis.-The most interesting dead guy in the ocean.
Super cool to see a dramatization of this song
Holly... why this doesnt have more views?
I... didn't see fear in the old man's face. I think he won that fight.
We are two mariners
Our ships' sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
Its ribs are ceiling beams
Its guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill
You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But I remember you
And I will relay to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the whores and hounds
Oh
You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
Oh, oh
And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind
Then, one day in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried
Oh, oh
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole
Until he wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling of his grave"
It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat
But never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever once turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
Oh, oh
One night I overheard
The prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty
The following day
I shipped to sea with a privateer
And in the whistle of the wind
I could almost hear
Oh, oh
"Find him, bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole
Until he wakes up, naked
Clawing at the ceiling of his grave
There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"
And then, that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed
And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth
But, oh, what providence
What divine intelligence
That you should survive as well as me
It gives my heart great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear
So lean in close and I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
Oh, oh
Thank you, but no, great acting but, I felt like it was missing something, I dunno but great job for the most part
Incredible work! I love seeing a live action rendition of this song!
I ENJOY THIS SONG TOO MUCH
