So who's gonna photoshop the orange portal on the left and the blue on the right?

A HEALTH TO THE COLMPANY! This song is so bloody good. Those harmonies blew me straight away. I was enjoying it so much that I forgot that I had a poured cup of coffee.

/Over and Under - Colm McGuinness\
[Verse 1]
We’ll buy one for the bo’s’n,
And one for the mates.
We’ll buy one for your man of the topsail all day,

We’ll buy one for the striker to keep him on game.
And one for the gunner, whose well on his way,
And another round just for good measure.

[Verse 2]
Well, the cabin boy just got promoted today,
Sure is working his hands to the bone for his pay.
And the helmsman is itching to dock in the bay,

Sure, he’s not been on land seven months to the day.
And another one's not worth the treasure.

[Chorus]
So, let’s go boys, we’re over and under,
We’ll roll through like thunder,
To bring her back home.
Here we go, boys,
With the waves crashing under,
O Lord I half wonder,
How we’re not in the foam?

[Verse 3]
We’ll buy one for the first mate,
When we’re out of the storm,
And the cooper whose last barrel's splintered and worn.

And a round for the surgeon,
Whose wrecked as a mule,
And the swabbies as well, sure to not would be cruel,
As the cook knocks 'em back at his leisure,


[Chorus]
So, let’s go boys, we’re over and under,
We’ll roll through like thunder,
To bring her back home.
Here we go, boys,
With the waves crashing under,
O Lord I half wonder,
How we’re not in the foam?

[Verse 4]
Well, the second mates looking to spend all his pay,
And the sailmaker's glasses are but weathered and frayed.
And yeoman with the powder says it’s soaked through and through,

And a night on the strong stuff is long overdue,
So, to sail with ye’s has been a pleasure.

[Chorus]
So, let’s go boys, we’re over and under,
We’ll roll through like thunder,
To bring her back home.
Here we go, boys,
With the waves crashing under,
O Lord I half wonder,
How we’re not in the foam?
‘Cause we’re through with our plunder,
And we’ll haul her back home,
And we’re not yet asunder,
So it’s land where we roam.

My sea shanty playlist is 99% Colm and I'm ok with that considering everything he puts out sounds like absolute heaven

[ebr]

This shanty just sounds so cheerful!! It makes me feel like we're leaning over the side of the ship with a hnd skimming the water 🥰 very well done!!!

[felixgauthier-mamaril]

Like the Last Length, this song has a certain heartwarming melancholy to it, like the end of a grand adventure with friends you won't see again for a while.

[shaycormac]

It's gonna be a masterpiece. I know this already!!

[LorcanWard]

Had to pause this to go pour a pint. Your best yet 👌

[tsnap]

Colm, could you please put the lyrics in the description? I love singing along with these sorts of songs.

[victoriaharman]

The fact this man exists and blesses us with his utterly perfect vocal talent just proves there is good in this world. All hope is not lost. I so look forward to new music from you, sir. Please don't ever stop ❤

[jcbkandz_cold]

Whoever hates on this has no sense of community or dead inside. Colm’s music healed a lot of toxic thoughts that came from an unstable emotional family. Thank you so much mate and “stay handsome”

[Kayblade]

I always look forward to hearing your songs, both your original and covers. Many of my best characters created for sailing themed writing projects, have been made while listening to your originals. This was awesome! Thank you once again for making this

[OutcastWriter]

This is the first song that made me feel something again after suddenly losing my husband. It made me want to go on and have adventures again in the future. Thank you, Colm.

[Matts-Edge]

Surprisingly I’m not here to ask for anything I’m actually here to thank you for doing the song wayfaring stranger. I heard a few days ago and it has quickly become one of my favorite songs ever. So thank you again, and keep up the good work. God Bless :)

[Lenre]

I just...I love this. A lot of shanties are sung in minor keys, talking about long times at sea and how much it sucks. And this has that, but there's a note of hope at the end, that we can get back to shore and walk away from this life. It's just...it's fantastic.

[rowenwolff]

This is quite possibly the best song you've ever done 🥰

[chubz]

i could feel the salty air of the sea blowing on my face

[ElJorro]

Your music always makes me happy. Except when it's sad. But I always feel something. What I feel from this song is a long struggle has come to an end and now the weary crew joyfully greets the sunrise...

[knddara]

I love you and your performances. You're a true treasure! A treasure one must seek out, but a treasure none the lesss
