@elaborinth8993 yeah we all love this guy, and Sohmer as well. Now go and do something original people! preferably while you listen to this song though.
thanks guys, It's 0238, and I'm pounding my Indian Hand drum in time with you. This drum was brought by the Irish to this continant. You Great Big Sea give us all MUSIC ! We need that, you know !...You make me weep with life !
Quite possibly the greatest band ever! I'm a maritimer, and we tend to lose our Catholic conscience at an early age, and replace it with a thing that tells us to be carefree and fun loving. Or maybe that's just me.
In times of trouble, I turn to God and this video. Thanks GBS. Seen yaz twice, got the playlist and guitar pics to prove it and my tix. Pretty sure that is all you can accomplish in music to make ur fans enjoy ur music that much. Sorry that the radio dudes just can't peg u guys enough in a category. Dang shame but the people who luvs uz the most can find yaz. To the great big Sea from the small little c -who sells c -shells by the c-shore on an island unknown SILLYHEART21 ON YOUTUBE.
@SILLYHEART21 That's a good point, I've heard Ordinary Day once on the radio and nothing from them since that. I usually think of their music as Celtic. They're certainly more Celtic than all those spanish bands claiming to be so.
lmao...I love the part when he says, "And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime" And he shakes his head, it always makes me laugh. hahaha. Love this song, thanks for posting it.
Maybe they're mirroring their outlook on life with chess pieces because in the game of chess if you make a mistake, you're dead. Hence, they dream of a world which is "Consequence Free."
I think it's a commentary on capitalist society: it's a factory and we're all supposed to try to be the same. They're all "pawns". The song is about breaking out of those constraints of society and doing your own thing.
They've got a great sound, which also impressed me since they're vocal range is the general range of notes that anyone can really sing, if they wanted to try. But they sure do stand out, so give them kudos! (Seriously, now. LoL)
This guys rock !! They play the opening theme for the Least I Could Do animation; I'm so new to them... Like... 5 mins ago, but they rock big time. I'm a new fan !! Cheers !!
the pride of Newfoundland and its music culture is alive with the man from the East Coast, Great Big Sea and can't wait to see them again when I return to the Rock in St.John's Lets party!!!
i freaking love these guys. ive only heard 3 of their songs over the past 2 weeks and i wanna by one of their albums. have fun trying to force one of their songs out of my head. BWAHAHAHAHAHA
anyway, what are some of their good albums? i wanna get one
Wow, anybody remember the old days before YouTube? When I wanted to see a Great Big Sea music video I'd have to watch CMT all day in hopes they'd be played, then record it when it came on.
So many GBS videos are so-so, including this one - maybe most are - compared to the songs. If I had to judge them on videos, I wouldn't bother going to see them live. They kick 100 kinds of ass, live.
this is just a really nice band that sing somthing you understand with some nice music too it, most listen to: ARRRRRRRH burn and die in searing pain. i mean wtf?
it seems that so many people have a lack of good music taste these days who are brainless sheep and follow everyone to listen to all that shit/lackluster mainstream music like "When I grow up" or "Kiss, kiss" and what have you....
wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended? And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind?
