Have you ever heard of a group called the Irish Breakdown?
My dad used to listen to them all the time and they sang The Shores of the (can;t rmember), Ranzo Way!, Roll, Alabama, Roll, The Irish Rover, and a ton others...
I can't find the cassett and also haven't been able to find them on line...and my heart was sad till I heard your lovely versions!
thanks! I used Final Cut Express. It was my first time trying it. We all recorded our parts separately, with no reference to each other, except for the general guide I gave in the "request for collaboration" video. In other words, we didnt sync up with each other or a lead track. I didnt want to limit people's interpretations by asking them to match too much. so I did my best to sink us artificially afterwards.
This is my most favorite video of your shanties collection. I wonder how you got everyone to sing in synch. Thank you for opening my (small) musical world to the sea shanty.
yep, sorry about making you sound more boy-ish-- it was that whole pitch-matching issue. if it makes you feel any better, listen to how girl-ish (and Leprechaun-ish) I sound on the "tie to the taffrail" line!!
BTW I like how that tapa cloth behind you kinda matches Raymond's shirt. Also, your hat matched Pyromancia's hat, and I wore a similar hat, to make a common theme :)
Hey, hult, no critisism, this time. I loved this, in fact, it is added to my favorites. Just one thing. The verse when you"Put him to bed with the Captain's daughter" The last line i learned was "You ain't scene the Captains daughter" What an image!! I'm going to watch the rest, now. So, if you'll excuse me...=Stefan=
Thank you very much, Stefan. As you know, one can improvise and add whatever lyrics one wants in chanteys. However, on this one, since I think the traditional lyrics have gotten a little botched over time, I wanted to hold fast to the "originals"!
Hey, hult, heres a verse, a bit more modern. And what we did, yes even too me. "Put im on on watch on the evaporators". The evaps, water distillation plant, was in the hottest place in the fire room. I spent many a watch at that billet. Until I made engine room suprvisor. Than I was master!!! The Captain could not come down without my permission!!!I miss those days. Steam all the way!! =Stefan=
no, you didnt sing that high :) If you think about it, youre at the same pitch as everybody else. it's just that I had to 1) slow down the speed of the clip (which made your voice lower than normal) then 2) raise up the pitch again to match..and by that time it sounds artificially "high" like a chipmunks tone. same deal with some of my vocals, like the "scuppers" verse, ha ha
excellent - ran many scout camps in england and no version anywhere this awesome
