You know what they say, a shanty a day keeps the depression away

[mvl]

Wow! I already loved sea shanties and bardcore, but I never dreamt of the combination being so perfect

[landonsorenson]

Algal over here being a bard as usual.

For those who wants to sing along :

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low

From bardcore to sea shanties, we will watch your career with great interest

[donaldleroy]

I don't claim to be an expert in any genre of music but this reminds me of Russian folk music I've briefly heard before

All I can say is that you give the term "Playing with one's self" an entirely new and wholesome meaning!

[scottysunday]

Why use a cajon drum, when you have the backside of a guitar and two F I S T S

[FirePhoenix]

This is, not gonna lie, probably the best version of this song I’ve heard

[flavialocatelli]

Incrível melodia, muito agradável em ouvir. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷

[MrRyanMcCall]

I tip thee two dubloons for your hard work, well done me hearty! Yahar!

[SuunaZ]

You have gold in your hands. Please never give up.

[szilviavincze]

You surprise me every time you choose a cover in a very original way. So far I didn’t even know sea shanty could be soo good.

[hikaruchan]

have I just discovered this ? I love it!!! 😍

[Faircross]

When you're a bard in a campaign with sea travel

[jennysade]

Thank you for this! Not only is it a great show of musical proficiency, it is also a great background for a short sea shanty disstrack

[daveylocker]

Hey just got a 100 year old German concertina about 2 weeks ago, and learned to play Danny Boy melody on it the first day. I haven’t been able to put it down, or picked up my mandolin since. Now Bard has one. Yayyyy!!!

[Aktuvor]

Very enjoyable, made me clap with the music.
Now to restock my rum.

[snoopyzero]
