SHARE YOUR SEA SHANTIES
« on: July 22, 2014, 03:25:07 pm »
What the title says. All languages are fine, I'll listen to every single one of them.

To give you inspiration, I'll post some.

I gaze into its milky depths, searching the wheat and sugar for the meanings I can never find.
It's like tea leaf divination, but with cartoon leprechauns.
There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

Sea shanties? Bellowhead's new album, Revival, is full of the things. Check it out - Youtube doesn't seem to have (m)any of the songs, but if you Spotify or such, see there.

The best part of sea shanties is when you can't tell if they're singing about their women or their ships.

Russia is simply taking an anti-Fascist stance against European Nazi products, they should be applauded. ¡No parmesan!

How about the album Aether Shanties by Abney Park?

Admittedly not, technically, anywhere close to Shanties. :V

But neither was the first one in the examples list, and the second one sounds to be yet another variant of Donald Where's Your Trousers/Drunken Sailor.

So let's go classic, I've always been a fan of Cape Cod Girls:

Actually wrote our own Bay12 version of that one to sing whenever we got a bunch of people together for Guns of Icarus.

Knew Alestorm would pop up.
Tho I personally would've gone with Keelhauled.

My dreams are not unlike yours - they long for the safety, and break like a glass chandelier.
But there's laughter and oh there is love, just past the edge of our fears.
And there's chaos when push comes to shove, but it's music to my ears.

They do much more, all of it good.

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.
