Colm's vocal range is matched only by his sweater range.

[ddidomenico]

Surprised no ones called a vote for Colm fans to call themselves, 'The Colmpany'.
They're a crew I'd serve with anyday🍻⚓💪 Incredible job as always my man.

[ColmRMcGuinness]

Thanks again for listening everyone!
Will be putting up a full album stream at some stage next week after the release!
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate how kind and good mannered everyone in the chat for the premiere was. As most of you know, I don't (yet) have any mods and despite me being VERY late to the premiere, the chat was as mannerly, well behaved and welcoming to new viewers as ever, in my absence (special shoutout to the real MVP Cerridwen Rowan!). I'm incredibly proud of that to say the least. Secondly, I'd like to thank you all for your continued support during the lead up to finishing this second shanty album. You've given me an entire second career this year. One that I never thought I would ever have and words cannot describe how grateful I am. Hope you all have a great weekend, yis' beautiful individuals!

As always, leave you suggestions below! I'm going to be doing a LOT of collabs that I'm bursting at the seams to keep secret for the moment. Probably will be doing some more Film/TV/Game covers for the next wee bit, but more shanties/sea songs are always along the way.

Stay very handsome.

- Colm

Colm is a real life D&D bard and you can't convince me otherwise

Lyrics:

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme
Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine
Come lift up your voices, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again


Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again


Here's a health to the dear lass that I love so well
For her style and her beauty sure none can excel
There's a smile on her countenance as she sits on my knee
There is no man in this wide world as happy as me


Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again


Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock
I wish her safe landing without any shock
And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea
I will always remember your kindness to me


Here's a health to the company and one to my lass
Let's drink and be merry all out of one glass
Let's drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never all meet here again.

This man is living testament to great Irish singers. God I adore Ireland and her people.

[triquetka]

My 9-month-old daughter absolutely loves you. Anytime she hears your voice she instantly calms down - and we parents are eternally grateful. :D

[Bastion]

This is my favourite all of the shanties i have heard and cant wait to hear this rendition

[smaldenjoveson]

Like a perfect combination of the Assassin's Creed version and the Longest Johns version along with a touch of Colmness.

[meghancowens]

“Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine”…
How heartfelt for the the times we are facing now…
May we lift up together in light in love. Thank you Colm for bringing beauty to our ears and a way for us to sing together…for there is beautiful power in that vibration!

[impracticalnuke]

I like how Colm manage to show more emotions singing than professional actors.

[klgw]

I used this song for a D&D campaign right before the players headed to the fight with the final boss. Probably one of the best moments of the campaign.

[Empressofnight]

Me: drinking a Pepsi while listening to YouTube.
This rendition of this song: comes on.
Me: raises Pepsi and starts rocking it back and forth.
Me: after song welp my Pepsi is now flat and I have a mess to clean.

[doctorarb]

This brings back memories of working at the ren fair, singing this with the rest of the cast with a bard who is long dead now. It was good times.

[vindolphin]

This is so good, I get chills when the guitar drops at 2:20, its incredible

[vegyb]

I love this one so damn much. It's so blindingly sinister, even though the lyrics are basically positive spirited - and, more to the point, sung that way! He means it, does the singer. There's just something in the tone, in the register, that indicates A Lot of subtext.
I also like the register changes in the lead voice. I didn't think I would, but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. It displays a bit more of your range.

[Elena-lutl]

I always go into watching these videos thinking, "Oh, this will be amazing." Then it winds up being the most incredible thing I've ever heard pretty much every time, and I feel at a loss for words. I loved it.

[nicminer]

I'm a newer viewer, but every time I listen to one of your songs, I end up having it stuck in my head for like a month. First, it was Take Us Home, recently it was On The Railroad, and now (after having finally moved on from having The Longest John's version of this song out of the loop track in my head) I'm back to Here's a Health to the Company. And all I've got to say for it is thank you for the great music!

[phoenixtalon]

I've been listening to this for ages but that black background with your lighter, warm lighting really creates a brilliant, striking contrast

[mistermonstr]

I sing this song every final night at ren fairs. I meet with my friends, we grab a flag on and tears come a rollin.. well sung bard!
