Was given the Special Edition of their first album for Christmas. I may be only 17 but I damn well love their music. People like Simon Cowell etc... saying music is dead... not until people like Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends are gone it isn't!!
these guys are the best thing to happen to the world since humans. I may b only fifteen but these guys are loads better than some of the shit out today.
Listening to this song makes me want to learn to sing like this, if for no other reason than the hope that I may inspire others the same way these gentlemen have inspired me...
I am 17 and from a city, so obviously am used to listening to very different music to this. But these have changed this, everything about them, the story, the normality of them and how you can see they do it for the love of singing, not just greed. New favourite.
My dream is to take off on a motorbike with a laptop and travel across the country and become a famous author using said laptop whilst this song plays in the background!
This is just great - wholly inspiring and totally appropriate that it is being sung by fishermen - I can just imagine Jesus and Fisherman's Friends singing this today and did you notice - some of it was filmed in a church. I love it.
@gjksecurity It is a lovely song, and the church bit didn't go unnoticed. But either did the upside down pentagram at 0.37. I'm not sure what to think now. Anyway, Gods love & best wishes.
@IvoryTears1 An "upside down pentagram" as you called it, is actually a regular pentagram. It represents good, and the spiritual rising above the physical world (among with many, many other interpretations, including Christian ones). A pentagram with two points facing upwards is the adopted symbol of Satanism and thus commonly associated with evil. Again, however, there are many different meanings of such a pentagram as well. Christianity itself utilized both forms of the pentagram in the past.
Don`t just listen go to Cornwall see the land and the people only trouble is a lot of people from outside have move in, but you can still find the old Cornwall if you look. Me would love to live on Bodin Moor always have and thats strange as I was born in London. Please also to read that the old language is coming back.
I think this doesn't grab me as much as their other songs because I prefer the unaccompanied, acapella (sp?).
The guys aren't as relaxed as they are when the sessions are less formal - and it's their relaxed, ten friends together, style that is part of the whole appeal.
I thought it may have been a bit cheesy shanty but it's true to the bone, i'm ex services (navy) and i warmed to them immediately when they took the charm that some people think the sea has out, putting a truer spin on it, great tunes
Heard this on BBC radio Cornwall, and the lyrics really cheered me up...reality reallly isn't real....so just have a pint!haha And agreed with everyone else way better than all this r 'n'b crap and that's coming from a 20 yo.
just seen them on country walks bbc1. what they've achieved is brill. singing in the pubs down there just makes you wanna sing and drink...............and they're all working men......congrats to you all
Absolutetely brilliant chaps.so pleased you are being reconised for the super singing you do.all the best for the future. Maybe we'l get to hear you live when we visit beautiful Cornwall later this year.will be searching for concert dates.5Stars for this.
amazing, so much better than the mainstream crap shovelled down our throats by music producers desperate for a profit. Justin Bieber et al can suck it.
I live in port isaac, and these men make me proud of my cornish heritage.
this is our island of great britain , our heritage , our pride, what we are made of , with stacks of great courage and history to match. the pc brigade can go and get stuffed or better still get out .
i met these guys and they are a bunch of really nice guys who are amazing and their songs are just really great =) the song is different from the nowa day new stuff from pop artist and this is something different keep up the good work guys
absolutely love this group! i do my bofriends head in when we go fishing cause of all the little songs i sing now i have more ammunition, lol he loves it really, last time his mates were singin too! lol.
We have the CD its great. Nice to see honest hard working Old boys making good. great to see a range of diverse faith in the vid either intentional or not..
@piemushypeasandchips The English folk revival is getting bigger all the time, I expect Seth Lakeman's new album to follow Mumford & Sons into the charts, and Jim Moray's got a new one coming as well. There was a great turn-out at the Folk Against Fascism gig last month - Chumbawamba/Show of Hands/Bellowhead, and I'm off to see the Political Songs show with Eliza Carthy tomorrow.
Fab! Reminds me a bit of Steeleye Span. Listen to Hard Times of Old England by them available on YouTube - the best version is the one posted by cheerydavie. Come to think of it, this might make a more appropriate World Cup song!
its took me over 2 weeks to find this song on here so pleased i have these guys are cool i want to move to port issac. All I need now is to know how i canget this as my ringtone for my mobile going to buy album and have complete faith its going to be as good as this song. xxx
These guys are fantastic doing what they enjoy and having fun. It goes to show that you don't have to be a young non talented waste of space to make a name for yourself, you can be mature and talented as these guys are. But please do not make it into a football song.
I'll listen to anything (except rap, there I draw a line), but I've loved this song since I heard it back in April when my uncle sent it to my dad. When I heard it on Radio 2 last night, I decided to find the song again. I've now listened to this song a dozen times and I don't think I'll stop yet (and the world cup suggestion is a good one, but you'd need to do a few word changes like (borrowing from Cooky2484) "We're on the road to wembley, let's find out how it goes" being a good start).
they shud change the words to 'we're on the road to wembley" then it wud be a rite football song , but wud only work if the world cup was held in england :s ,,, no chance
The older i get the more i appreciate all types of music. People focus too much on what is perceived to be "cool" rather than what makes you feel good, this is such an uplifting song and is sung perfectly, well done guys, ordering my copy of your album now.
@DrHarringtonUK That's because it comes out of the same traditions. John Tams drew heavily on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the folk tradition when he wrote/rewrote them for Sharpe. To be a "folk" song, there has to be a good singable tune, a story people can identify with, and a bloody good chorus. FF are brilliant at this. They are up there with John Tams and the late Cyril Tawney - the greats of the folk tradition.
AMAZING
