What shanty or folk song should we sing next? :)

[persianking]

John, Anna, Colm, Peyton, and Richaad: Wanna see us do some epic metal sea shanties?
John, Anna, Colm, Peyton, and Richaad: *Wanna see us do it again?*

[RichaadEB]

thanks for having me aboard once again lad, always a pleasure!

[DetectiveLance]

I love how Anna sounds absolutely fucking THRILLED to be doing her verse.

[raylen]

Im starting to think that sea shantys are meant to be metal, awesome job as always!

[joshuaadkins]

i love that Peyton is getting more publicity through other content creators, he really deserves it.

[ColmRMcGuinness]

History behind this song:

“Santana” is a slang for Santa Anna, a Mexican General/President/Dictator (full name Antonio López de Santa Anna)

This is a folk song, originally in French, turned into sea shanty, and modified throughout the years. (suspected by British, and later American sailors) It dates back to at least 1850 and is a Ahistorical tale about the Battle of ether Monterrey or Molino del Rey(anglicized as ‘Molly del Rey’) depending on who is singing. It’s ahistorical because in the song “Santana gained the day” or “Taylor ran away”(Zachary Taylor, the American general in those battles). In reality the Americans won those battles.

The British are suspected to be the ones to come up with the shanty (though the melody is from the French song) because Anglo-American relations were never good until the late 1800’s.

Also funny enough, the Americans found the song catchy and added to it. “And a boastful Yank for a captain too!”

I love the gruff, pirate-like voices in the metal version that make it still sound very much like a sea shanty. It's such a nice blend while holding faith to the original feel of the song

[datmanydocris]

I don't think I've actually ever heard Richaad sing before these sea shanties. He has a good voice, he should sing more.

[norablis]

i think a real life pirate's head would explode if they heard this

[Rojinwayne]

YES ANOTHER SEA SHANTY WITH MY FAVORITE PIRATES

[noxidion]

As a french speaker it's so strange to listen to the english version but i love it !

[anone.mousse]

Colm's coda in this rendition was incredible. Something about his voice deep as the briney and that instrumental… chills.

[gabrielultimate]

It's totally the most banger Sea Shanty Metal Cover that you, Peyton Parrish, annapantsu, Music Colm McGuiness, and RichaadEB really outdone yourselves well man and ma'am but as always man i love it, so far as you're the coolest man that would ever make this

[randomaccountofthings]

Big fan of colm’s version. This is soooo gooood!!

[EdahelBrindille]

At first I was like "but I know this melody, it sounds like Santiano (a french song by Hugues Auffray)", and just like that, I learnt that the song I loved since I was a child was in fact just the french version of Santiana. I've never felt so betrayed by my own culture.

[hitsuguyathe]

I love this cover. Anna’s part was so CRISP tho!! It was a great break from the growling everyone else had, like more a symphonic rock feel and I love that. Everyone did great here, her part just stood out the most to me

[finalburner]

I love that we hear more and more of Richaadeb's singing voice spread across all kinds of channels

[mariyili]

Yeaaah more metal sea shanties!!
Anna, blows me away every time
Jon, the growl and distortiooon so hot!
Richard, I can't help to smile when he sings
Colm, it's just insane all his different singing voices
And Peyton, I'm going to obsessively listen to him now
Everyone just smashes it every time.
Also... You should really consider selling streaming tickets for your show in Dreamhack for those not in the US ;-;
