  • is the girl Olivia Wilde?

  • This makes me realize how much I really miss sailing, and how much I hate winter..

  • @jackback790 Makes me proud to be a Newfoundlander

  • 6 people don't know what good music is.

  • Comment removed

  • These guys could make me feel better no matter how down I am. I just listen to "Here and now" "straight to hell" or "ordinary day" and my mood is completely turned around. So glad I found this band.

  • @RiflemanLaramie I see what you did there.

  • makes me like Canadians even more, having caught GBS live once in Kansas City you realize just how talented these guys are.

  • I <3 Great Big Sea!

    They never fail to make me smile!

  • While most rock bands either sing about screwing every woman in sight, or killing themselves on drugs, or how miserable and depressing the world is great big sea sing about simple things, that make you feel upbeat and put a smile on your face. Whenever i have a bad day, listening to miserable music makes me feel gloomy, so instead of turning on the radio i always put on great big sea.

  • Me n my mates always take our instruments out into the sea,so natural :-)

  • This song reminds me of my childhood and it brings back memories and good times i had with family and friends ;)

  • This song reminds me of my childhood and it brings back memories and good times i ahd with family and friends ;)

  • Love this song but it also reminds me of the dumb ass who introduced me to GBS back in the day. :)

  • makes me proud to be Canadian =)

  • @jackback790 Me too!! :)

  • They are coming to Canada in a few days but they're only touching the east and the west coast, I say they should come to Ontario too!!

  • on almost every videon on youtube video there are some people constantly arguing and fighting on the comments

    yet on GBS videos i see little to none of these useless arguments....i guess GBS fans are just that great

  • @lingthegreat ur a mainlander aren't ya

  • these guys are tops in my book plain and simple you can hear it in there music. To those that kncock these guys you aint got a clue man.

  • I love the Irish. I think the difference between them and the English is that the Irish believe in FREE SPEACH. The English have there heads up their arses!

  • @lingthegreat

    You know that Great Big Sea are Canadians, don't you?^^

  • @macewindu63 in his defense, there is clear Irish influence.

  • @heroarmorzero It's Newfoundland there bud. Get you shit straight! haha

  • @heroarmorzero no exactly living in the coast thats the life style in newfoundland scotland ireland whales its alll pretty well the same shit only differences that is countries its the atlantic it has nothing to do what its infulences are like what lingthegreat says sorry but irish cant take any credit for what the great big sea dishes out

  • @LikeLightToFlies7 True, but you have to realize that what lingthegreat is true. every mansion needs a foundation and every one of the band members are from ireland, scotland, wales, or england. although bob may be the exception. GBS puts an amazing modern twist on newfie songs, but a lot of the shanties came from or were inspired from across the pond.

  • @lingthegreat ITS NOT IRISH ITS CALLED NEWFIE. xD. GREAT BIG SEA FOREVER<33

  • does anyone know who the girl is?? HOT***

  • loves this song, loves this band, they are amazing, especially cause they are from Newfoundland!

  • where did they film this? I only know of three sandy beaches in NL and they don't look like that one.

  • You'd think the salt water might damage the guitars.

  • Although I've listened to Great Big Sea since a child, their music has shown up in places where I least expected it. I was on a cruise in Italy, around the Mediterranean in 2006, and on one of the top-deck bars on the ship, this song was blasting over the speakers. I got a little homesick, but I was amazed that I was hearing this song all the way in Central Europe.

    Great Big Sea. Everyone from Vancouver to Rome listens to them.

  • I'm not to big about this song but this is an amazing band they sing about great things and good times I listen whenever I'm down to . . .get back up lolXD

  • I'm seeing them in concert in 4 days <3

  • is there any real chance of seeing a babe like that on a newfoundland beach

  • @swastikausa I Always See hot chicks in Blackbank (Giant Beach, Scattered Black Sand Everywhere). So the Answer is Yes, you do.

  • not their best song, but how can you not love gbs?

  • @thetwinz1113 GTFO now fucking idiot

  • @123tindris seconded. people stop posting on videos of bands they don't like

  • @thetwinz1113 You Suck

  • @thetwinz1113 Why would you waste our time with this? If you don't like a band, DON'T SEARCH FOR THEIR VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE! It's not exactly rocket science, mate.

  • @thetwinz1113 apparently you do to

  • I saw them perform this live when the CD first came out :D i still love it

  • I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song!!!!:).

  • I love how almost of all of GBS songs are about love, happines, and having a great time. seriously, how many songs and bands are all about drugs, alcohol and sex and about how miserable life is. No don't write songs about happiness and having fun.

  • @DonJohnofAustria beautiful comment.

  • @DonJohnofAustria happiness is good, but the majority of celtic music is about alcohol, sex, and violence... it's basically what rappers would sing. if they could sing

  • @DonJohnofAustria What do you expect thats how us Newfies are by

  • Love this song!

  • Go Newfoundland! <3 ahaa~

  • word!

  • Sea Of No Cares..that must be the Atlantic Ocean, surrounding my home .....NFLD is the best...keep er goin byes

  • Where is that beach ?

  • @elsinge

    It was filmed in Cancun, Mexico.

  • @kgschap2010 No u.

  • Great big sea always make me feel good. haha It's awesome!

  • nice, check out my videos

  • ♥

  • all hail GBS

  • When I saw the words great big sea, I instantly clicked like

  • East Coast all the way. I remember listenin to this When it first came out. And you wanna know what? I still listen to it. Including Great Big Sea. 5/5

  • 80 % of the best canadians singers are originally from east coast, even ap ril wine!!

  • love it! want to live on the east coast stuck here in alberta without a man or a beach :(

  • I as well live in Alberta, Edmonton all the way :P

    Every time i listen to great big sea, i always want to just go and live in NFL and stay on the east coast, so thats what im gonna do!

  • I love Alberta, but I think there's things to love about anywhere, especially Canada though. There's good people everywhere though, you'll find a guy.

  • Is this Newfoundland? o.O

    Love this song and the band <3

  • best band ever! so who in it died?

  • Alright boys, I've lived in Newfoundland my entire life, and admitly the vast majority of Beaches are covered in rock, be that as it may there are still some sandy ones. And to whoever claimed that Newfoundland's water are too cold to swim, your a bloody puss

  • The video was made in Mexico, salt water tastes just like it is described...SALTY. IT won't hurt you, just don't go swallowing gallons of it.

    To the genius who posted iceburg's are warmer than snow...no they are not, they are both made up of ...FROZEN water.

  • download a youtube to mp3 converter and just convert it to audio format.

  • Buy it legally.

  • Yeah...go to a store near you and buuy it instead of stealing their songs. If you really like them then go and suport them!

  • This band is awesome... but this video suck!

  • is bob the main singer? if it is my step dad told me (who was a nefie before he passed away in 2003) that he went to highskool with him!!!! how aweome is that!!!!????

  • his name is allan doyle(spelling??)

  • The Band is awesome , Buffalo Loves Great Big Sea

  • good way to have everyone in nova scotia new brunswic and nfld wanting to kill you lol

  • why?

  • ahem......pei???

  • Why would they want to kill them?

  • @roydawg4sho What?!

  • sea of no cares <3

  • wish i had a sea of cares but im afraid its a little harder...song kicks ass though

  • Alan is hot!!!

  • I always thought Bob was hot and so talented!!!!

  • wtf???  to you its the only good great big sea song? :S

  • Ahh I've loved this song for years. <3

  • this is actually a good song

    this kid just told me about them

  • i don't understand why people who don't like a band or a song go onto a vid of theirs on youtube and post a comment about there dislike of it. why are you searching for it if you don't like it? GBS fucken rule so fuck off haters

  • read the first one. i like the music but as i say in the scond one i was just surprised i didn't get the hate mail due to imature people not liking to be critisized.

  • Ah I see. Good man then. And ya people tend to be very immature on the internet.

  • You can't base maturity on one thing.

  • lol well you got 2 thumbs down so i guess its another way of getting hate "mail" not male haha

  • yea soz for that im admiting this now im im dislecsic or however the hell you spell it an yea it makes me fell all warm inside knowing im anoying some random person many miles away from me. :D

  • @kilraby999 its not just bands or songs. I'm a big Star Trek: Voyager fan and I've seen countless amounts of comments just completely trashing the show. I've put comments similar to yours as responses on those hatful comments on more then one occasion. I can't understand the wanting to look something up on youtube if you hate it so much. You'd think one would try to avoid it as much as possible.

  • @kilraby999 yaay! someone with common sense! and yes this band ROCKS!!!

  • @kilraby999 maybye to know the band or song before say "i don't like"... Eache people have an opinion and can tell it. And if they say why they don't like we can explain our view and maybye make them change opinion. world's Art is a world of sharing and expression.

  • wow really? thanks for sharing. if its so culturally detrimental don't listen......GO GBS!

  • I love Great Big Sea and this is one of my favorite songs!!!!!!!! Yea im so glad you shared it! Thanks Go Great Big SEA :)

  • go great big sea

  • I am seeing that show.

    Plus Spirit Of The West is playing as well. :D

  • same this is the 5th time ill have seen them

  • i was there! the lead singer of spirt of the west looked like one off those kids toys that you press the button on the button and the whole figure crumbles, but as soon as you let go, it just spring right back up :P great big sea was incredible!!

  • The Pride of Newfoundland comes from the Voices of our native sons and they are "Great Big Sea" and when you are down Home, stop in a pub and you may just hear them Play!!

    Love Great Big Sea!!

  • Just saw them live on March 12th.. One of the best bands I've ever seen live. It was quite the amazing show!

  • lucky :( i want to see them again T_T. i've only seen them twice :( T_T.

  • First one of theirs I ever heard - always my favourite!

  • great song!, but i have to say poor guitars, probably garbage after their date with that nice salt water lol, i wonder if the guitar still make a sound when it was under water haha

  • Poor guitars me arse!

  • Love this song!

  • Did the really go in the water in the clothes?

  • i think thats why its the sea of "no cares" they dont care they have there clothes on

  • my favorite great big sea song , great vid too, i bet they didnt make this vid in the north altantic, lol,,

  • Yeah, the north altantic is probably too cold.

  • I agree. MAYBE when they're just on the beach they're in Newfoundland but they definitely wouldn't have those smiles if they dove into the Atlantic fully clothed I don't care if it IS summer I've swam in it and it's friggin cold!! I don't care who you are lol

  • i dont think they recorded this in newfoundland...it looks kinda tropical or north american beachish

  • could be burgeo thats in newfoundland and it looks like florida.

  • Its also salt water, not the best thing to get a mouthful of :P

  • No its not you puss bag haha my little brother even swims in that , ive slidden off an ice berg there actually not as cold as snow!
