My favorite thing about this series is how many of the songs clearly have some sort of inspiration from actual shanties/nautical folk songs (this one≈Northwest Passage; Hondo Onaka≈Charlie Mopps; Ghosts of Alderaan≈Bones In The Ocean, Running Down From Kessel≈Running Down To Cuba) but they’re thematic and indirect musical connections instead of just being Weird-Al-style lyric swaps. Not that there’s anything wrong with Weird Al, but this is a fun, really new thing; straight lyric swaps are easier to find.
The funny thing is I haven'y yet heard Bones in the Ocean or Running Down to Cuba, but I think that speaks to the wonderful sharing of themes and motifs throughout so much of the shanty canon. And thanks... there are some truly amazing traditional filks out there that just repurpose existing tunes and lyrics, but I think there's a real place in geek folk for exploring songs not just about the worlds in question, but that could conceivably be actually heard in them.
@@twinsunsentertainment If I can give you knowledge, Bones in the Ocean is an original song by I believe Bristol-based folk band, The Longest Johns. And it got parodied during the GameStonks event of 2021.
“Three millennia thereafter, making passage through the void.” Holy crap, I never knew I needed a Star Wars version of Northwest Passage until just now. Well done sir, I think that Stan would heartily approve
This video makes me almost tearful, knowing I’ll never live to see our people take their rightful place amongst the stars. Very moving, very well done.
I run one of the many Star Wars "core" meme pages on FB and just found you via another page that shared this song over there. Needless to say I instantly subscribed here and followed you over there too. I love what you're doing, these Star Shanties are so cool, and they're not just "generic sea shanty with Star Wars Easter eggs thrown in", they feel genuine since you include actual Star Wars lore and stuff in them, so yeah I'm already a huge fan. Can't wait to see what else you come up with.
It is no stretch at all to picture a cantina on a remote Outer Rim world, on a dark night when the skies are full of comet fragments, a mixed crew of smugglers, merchant captains and maybe a retired fighter pilot or two - all of them singing to the memory of the the explorers who came before and their families and friends still plying the hyperspace lanes.
I have chills. This is such a good song, and it hits that beautiful place that a good shanty hits - that place that makes you want to go find the horizon, where ever that may be. Thank you!
Thanks for this. I do so enjoy your music. Your reference to Northwest Passage was nice. It's clearly your own song, but the tribute to one Dear old Stan's songs was welcome.
This was definitely the first Shanty where I leaned hard into obviously drawing inspiration from one particular tune (also glad that link came across). I'll admit I'm curious how much overlap there is between Star Wars and Stan Rogers enthusiasts.
Thanks, Alex! I'm using a tuning called DADGAD, which is used a lot in Celtic and Folk, and has helped many low to mid-level guitarists (like myself) sound good.
Sweet a new shanty! I always look forward to them, as does my Star Wars loving little brother, I always show him every one (though he's a little too young for Many A Parsec 😂)
Thank you! I'm loving how many Stan Rogers fans follow the channel. (though if you're into shanties of any kind, it's a statistical likelihood that you'd like Stan Rogers as well)
Wow, this is amazing. I didn't connect to it the first time I listened to it, but somehow now I happened to hear it exactly when I needed to. The last two verses really resonate strongly with me. There was time in my life when I was sure that all I wanted to do was explore the world and discover. Sometimes I regret that my life took a different direction. This was just the reminder I needed to remember that life itself can be an adventure, full of mysteries and surprises. That what we do can have an impact on people "whose names we'll never know."
The song started and I just started grinning like an idiot, and then "Devoted to Stan Rogers" showed up and I felt really happy. Just waiting for Unleash the Archers to do a sick metal cover of this. I eagerly look forward to these songs coming to Spotify so I can add them to my playlists!
I truly hope Lucasfilm offers to add your songs to some of their projects. Hearing this in ANY facet of Star Wars would be amazing, let alone the idea of Rebel Pilots singing Ghosts of Alderaan on screen. And of course Old Man Thrawn, once we see the Grand Admiral return.
The fact that our voices can deteriorate over time is a cruel and scary possibility for any artist. I hope that even with new limitations you're still able to find ways to sing that bring you joy.
I'll take that. Thank you, sir. Northwest Passage and Mary Ellen Carter were the two songs that got me into folk music to begin with, lo those many years ago.
You’ve done it again, Rowan! Excellent work! Every Star Shanty you put out encourages and inspires me to continue writing my own. May you avoid any Imperial entanglements!
I'm sure Force Ghost Anakin sings this incessantly until Obi-Wan snaps and snarks at him, "what are you, a navigator on a spice freighter?" "I WAS, until I loaned it to YOU and it got destroyed!" And then they bicker for days.
Anakin is like ‘this song totally speaks to me’ and Obi Wan is like ‘you are WAY too young to truly appreciate these themes.’ Anakin is totally that 18 year old who thinks he has a complete understanding of Leonard Cohen’s work.
The disputes those two could get into about musical taste... also, fun fact, just discovered that using Palpatine's first name gets a comment 'held for review,' probably because of it's similarity to a certain weapon.
Thanks! The response to this one has been really encouraging. I'm currently developing a live show of this for a local Fringe festival, and I think this is gonna be the closer.
I've always liked your SW songs, but this one reached straight through me to one of my Star Wars RP/LARP characters. Her name is Sky'a, I've been doing stuff with her since mid-2019, and I immediately found myself thinking that she would love this song. It would seem to her like something that was written to be melancholy, but she'd find it hopeful and reassuring. She'd especially love the concept of "chart[ing] the course of my own Hydian Way," as she's descended from a former slave who killed his Master to be free.
Guitar now! Fantastic addition. Good to see you back, and this is a classic star shanty if ever there was one. Ah, the Hydian Way, that famous, reliable route. Really makes you nostalgic for the cockpit of a ship you've never flown along a swath of space that doesn't exist. Anybody else want to go on a week-long star cruise in a YT-model freighter? I have a few shanty ideas if you'd like to use them: -A Kaleesh war chant sung by the armies of General Grievous in his pre-cyborg days as they went from world to world, conquering Yam'rii colonies in revenge for the occupation of their homeworld -A Lasat hymn sung along the long and tribulation-filled path to the promised world of Lira San -A humorous and EXTREMELY morbid song sung by the clone troopers about how they're basically cannon fodder (something in the vein of "Blood Upon the Risers")
Oh wow I love the idea of a dark comedy song for the clone troopers. Probably just one long litany of all the ignoble and gory ways their brothers have died.
@@twinsunsentertainment if i ever have $6K to spend on a canned LARP experience i will ask for permision to sing your shanties when i get "drunk" in the ships bar
I hadn't heard Walloping Window Blind, but I just listened, and what a delight. :) I think there's definitely room in Star Wars lore for a song in the style of 'OMG this ship is the sorriest piece of junk and the crew is ridiculously inept and it's a miracle it's still in space.'
You have no idea how psyched I am to listen to anything from you that touches the hydian way!!! You think you’ll be releasing the full kallea cycle musical soon, I’d love to audition XD
Wow! A fellow enthusiast of the Kallea Cycle! You don’t find many of those nowadays… I would of course love to do a full production, but I refuse to do what the Imperial remount did and cast Hydia with a human. Unless I can find a Duros for the role, I wouldn’t do it at all.
@@twinsunsentertainment revisiting your work (still of the quite high musical quality I remembered!) and saw that I never replied to this. Yes, it has become quite obscure, though I suppose that is more a consequence of opera as a whole falling into obscurity in the current galactic trends than any statement about the work's quality. I wonder if the Empire's meddling and censorship that you mentioned could be traced as a contributing factor to the current reputation of the medium. I do hope someone will give Kallea Cycle the thoughtful revival it deserves, though - it was a classic for a reason! But now for the more important topic - your shanty! I can't believe I didn't comment on it earlier, I remember it being an inspiration when I first heard it, to keep going and stay persistent, and no matter what, feel hope for where your journey will go. It is truly beautiful, and, though in form it is certainly different, easily stands with the Kallea Cycle's "As far as farana" and "Half the galaxy"! Thank you for your work in researching this and preserving this piece of galactic history - you truly make the long gone past eras come to life. Being able to study and reconstruct the music people sang, and the context in which they might have sung it, is just brilliant! I do sincerely thank you for sharing your talents like this - I have loved your account so much ever since I first came across it :)
I’m not saying that I did anything as crazy as ordering an out of print Star Wars Atlas that supposedly had in depth information on Kallea and Hydia… but there is slightly less space on my bookshelf than there used to be.
There are a couple ideas percolating right now. Somewhere in my brain is a tune about looking back at the legacy of the Clone army from a post-imperial time, and wrestling with the tension created by good men with good intent whose actions helped bring about such a terrible result. As for the Separatists... now you've got me wondering to myself exactly what a Droid Army shanty would sound like...
I love your music though I have a question. As I love to write my own stories is it ok if I reference your star shanties in them? Like having a character humming them or singing one in the background?
Oh, my goodness! Its Rowan of the tribe of Naked Faces! 😆 I’ve missed your star shanties, but I’m glad your back. I hope everything is going well for you, your space princess and younglings. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too! The younglings are doing just great, though I'm still figuring out how to balance caring for them with still doing creative projects (as the massive delay of this Shanty coming out would attest).
Any chance of getting the chords/tabs or a how to play video for this and your other star shanties? Really keen to learn this one ASAP as I am currently writing alternate lyrics for Hydian way with the hope of it becoming a national anthem within the world of a larp I attend. No it isn’t a Star Wars larp in case anyone was wondering :) I don’t blame you for thinking it though
That's a fine idea! Feel free to reach out to me directly at info@teamrowanproductions.com, or on my FB or Patreon page, and I can email you at the very least the chords and the lyrics.
Life has delayed its production, but an Original Cast Album of the Star Shanties live show is in the works. And MP3s of a lot of the videos are available over on Patreon.
It's funny, I was just struck with an idea for one that has been pouring out of me today (Working Title: 'Ring Out the Bells of Life Day'). A proper Life Day Carol in the proper Victorian Wookiee tradition. I don't know if I'll be able to have it completed in time for December 25th, but I'll probably have something done and up by the end of the holiday season.
Apparently, someone covered this on stage here. ruclips.net/video/WQHPdg8mvzA/видео.html what better homage to a beautiful song is there, than to have it spread and sung by others? Edit: never mind. didn't realize that was you organizing it. still a beautiful song, though.
Since the Hydian way was established during the old Republic era, I'm brining this to the StarWars LARP I go to.
My favorite thing about this series is how many of the songs clearly have some sort of inspiration from actual shanties/nautical folk songs (this one≈Northwest Passage; Hondo Onaka≈Charlie Mopps; Ghosts of Alderaan≈Bones In The Ocean, Running Down From Kessel≈Running Down To Cuba) but they’re thematic and indirect musical connections instead of just being Weird-Al-style lyric swaps.

Admiral Raddus ~ General Taylor.
@@twinsunsentertainment If I can give you knowledge, Bones in the Ocean is an original song by I believe Bristol-based folk band, The Longest Johns. And it got parodied during the GameStonks event of 2021.
And a little more context, Hondo Ohnaka has some inspiration from "Derby Ram."
It reminds me of both "Nord West Passage" and "Faith of the Heart" for some reason.
If you like northwest passage try out canol road
The twangy guitar riff reminds me of Faith of the Heart as well.
This song could work for Star Wars, Trek, and Firefly.
As a performer who sings Northwest passage, and is a lifelong star wars fan. This one hits just right. Fine work my friend.
I couldn’t agree more. I love it so much. The whole series. It would be mind numbing to hear an AI Stan Rogers sing this.
listening to this, I thought of Ezra Bridger, and feel both sad and hopeful. It's beautiful!!
I have the sad too now 😢
Oh wow, I didn't even think of there being an Ezra connection. I love that.
Bring him home!
“Three millennia thereafter, making passage through the void.”

This needs 1million more views!
Aw thanks! From your mouth to the RUclips Algorithm's ears...
