why was this so sweet, what did he expect people to say, "no mr. brian may from the band queen, you do NOT have permission to play the sea shanty, put down the guitar and go back to the astrophysics" like,,,, what a silly goose
bill-nye-official-blog asked:
do you have any recommendations for sea shanties? i am voracious for some Good sea shanties rn
Would you believe me if I told you there was an entire subreddit dedicated to this
But some of the classics:
And did you know Sloop John B (made famous by the Beach Boys) was originally a sea shanty
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald (NOT a sea shanty, but I’m from Michigan, this story has been ingrained into my mind to the point I feel emotional about it despite not even being alive for it, and it has obvious sea shanty influences so I’m including it fight me)
Today in “Sea Shanties I Have On Repeat”, what dark magic did this man have to perform to get this voice?? This is the voice of Poseidon himself. Damn.
It’s like if a foghorn came to life and had perfect pitch, it would be that guy. What a goddamn delight.

All of this, but also:
This mom on tiktok made a video suggesting that if parents are tired of the terribly annoying music that’s set to these videos aimed at little kids that they should just put the videos on their TV and put it on mute and then play their own music over it because it will usually match the beat. People responded by suggesting songs for which this could not possibly work and I cannot stop thinking about this video in particular
All the music from the game, Radio New Vegas and Mojave Music Radio!
Fallout 3 soon to come!
I’m an emotional piece of garbage right now haha. Most songs from the early 2000’s. Basically just a bunch of angsty, sad, heartache music because I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff. The playlist is smaller than I want so if you’ve got any good ideas for songs to add let me know.
Apologize - One Republic // The Scientist - Coldplay // September - Daughtry // Fall For You - Secondhand Serenade // Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls // The Reason - Hoobastank // Yellow - Coldplay // I’ll Be - Edward McCain // Broken - Lifehouse // Stop And Stare - One Republic // Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol // How To Save A Life - The Fray // Hanging By A Moment - Lifehouse // Never Say Never - The Fray
