who has a playlist of sea shanties
edit: thanks I've been listening to all this shit all night
The last verse of that song has gotten me through a lot:
And you, to whom adversity has dealt the final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again
someone survived an actual shipwreck and sang the song to themselves as they swam to shore. he wrote about it to stan and got to go on stage at his next show
Maritimes sea-shanty:
Ooh, the year was 1778 - How I wish I was in Sherbrooke, noooow!
Not a sea-shanty but has sea-shanty energy:
Stan Rogers and Great Big Sea! Man they've both got some fantastic songs. Repping Canada
Shanties ain’t the same since the Lighthouse. Doodle let me go!
Not a sea shanty but this is one of my favorite wasted anthems. Good ol' folk punk
