I thought I heard the Old Man say "Leave her, Johnny, leave her" 🎶

Me sailing The Jackdaw towards a level 60 Man o' War to shoot the crap out of it.

If you are referring to pop music, then we could say the same thing about scratching chalkboards.

With hundreds of thousands songs released, how many have you actually listened to? Maybe 2%....which would be a masterclass of listening.

So really, in your opinion sea shanties are better than 80% of the music YOU have made the effort to hear.

Hahaha.

That said...I do enjoy a good shanty.

They are. Irish music is also far better. Something about adding in a fiddle or bag pipes and being great at playing them

Pretty sure sea shanties aren't back yet. If I remember the order, gregorian chants have to get trendy first.

Given that most music released recently are people uploading to soundcloud that only gets 10 views, then yeah, anything remotely popular is probably better than most songs uploaded.

Have you seen that shanty made for this new indie game that came out recently? I think the game was ship of fools or somthing

yes. Very true, but may I introduce you to Insane by Black Gryph0n. Very good song my friend. Or to anyone that reads this. Personal favorite shanty tho, Hoist the Colors.

It depends on the context, if he said something about us just not having the technology to be carbon neutral and similar points to that then lol ye obviously, good luck trying to tell a poor uneducated farmer to not burn down the amazon or big business and politicians that it's their fault we're in this situation and not the average dude. But if he actually said something about climate change not being real then yeaaaah dumb opinion. I do agree with a lot of his opinions though, specifically on guns (I'm not even American lol) and the more "woke" crap. Am I gonna get downvoted to hell for this? Probably, but at least I've explained myself

No, by denier I mean he quoted a shit study that said a small part of Antarctica hat more ice that year, and used it to say that applied to all the ice sheets in the world. Dude knows what he's doing, too. He's a shithead. I also believe freedoms, especially those of the uncomfortable kind, ie abortions and firearms should be preserved. Just saying, the guy isn't exactly innocent, and definitely is a shithead.

As an Irish person, considering how many of our songs are about lovers committing suicide or "THE FUCKING BRITS!!! >:(" I've had enough of our traditional music lyrics, but the songs themselves are great.
