oh god yes

How I see this song: This in my opinion is a song about acceptance and understanding of a fellow person who suffers from bullying, depressiong and etc. The line ''As for the ones whom we adore, Those of our friends who still are lost out in the storm, We raise a glass to you And leave on a light or two In case you ever make it home There's always room on board because...'' kinda indicates how the ones who got out of suffering are trying to help or at least support the person who is still ''lost in the storm''. This is how I see it, and i think I am not far off. This song is beautiful.

Xor'Kov Yeah. All of Voltaire's songs have a deep meaning to them, something you rarely see in the music industry.

be different...be unique...be fun...be happy! don't be like everyone else....be yourself! be a captain!

The first time I heard this song, I didn't like it much. After 100+ listens I am now ready to declare it my favorite song of all time.

Okay, when I first heard this song the only thing I could think of was how it described a character from one of my favorite book series. Jarlaxle Baenre from the Legend of Drizzt. Seriously, the lyrics just come off to me as something the guy would say and do when going off into adventure... even when he shouldn't.

I've liked Voltaire's stuff for a while now, but this tribute to Adam Ant sends my respect for him through the roof.

Amen, except that I'm new to Voltaire.

"Captains All" Long ago when I was just a lad The other boys hated me, said I made them mad. I guess I didn't fit in with the norm. I'll never know why people are so desperate to conform. Then I remembered something that you said. Those 9 words of yours stuck inside my head. You said "Prince Charming, ridicule is nothing to be scared of" So I took it as a rule. I slipped on my finest suit. Shined up my pirate boots. Put a medal on my lapel. I thought of you and gave them hell. We're captains all and we run this show And we only sail where we want to go. And we live at ease doing as we please Like pirates drifting out at sea. All of us have weathered through a storm. You know they say what doesn't kill you often makes you better. We live to tell and carry on. After all, it's nothing but a touch of nasty weather. Some of us are still around. You're still the dandy highway man that they're too scared to mention. And when you board you make us proud. It's "Admiral on deck!" and we're standing at attention. I slipped on my finest suit. Shined up my pirate boots. Put a medal on my lapel. I thought of you and gave them hell. We're captains all and we run this show And we only sail where we want to go. And we live at ease doing as we please Like pirates drifting out at sea. That's right we're captains all, we run this show And we only sail where we want to go. If you have orders, oh! Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own! As for the ones whom we adore, Those of our friends who still are lost out in the storm. We raise a glass to you And leave on a light or two In case you ever make it home There's always room on board because... We're captains all and we run this show And we only sail where we want to go. And we live at ease doing as we please Like pirates drifting out at sea. That's right we're captains all, we run this show And we only sail where we want to go. If you have orders, oh! Keep them to yourself 'cause the only ones we follow are our own! Yohoyohoyohohohohohohoohohohohohohohohoo­ooooooooooohohohoho

I tip my hat to you Voltaire. This song is just so great. To me It's saying that it's better to be yourself than to be thought highly of. And I agree wholeheartedly.

What a great way to start your day.

I hear so much Adam Ant influence, even in just the lyrics and the whistling

I really want to be a pirate now under the hands of captain Voltaire!

+mariela williams He really is a good musician and his songs can range anywhere from deep and meaningful to batshit fun and crazy.

Voltaire, hearing the first version, and then some of the finished songs, I thought it was going to change A LOT...but like usual, you never disappoint me, and it was even BETTER than the demo version.

I need to share this song with the world!

This is what I like about most Voltaire (aside form his sense of humor and sarcasm in a lot of most of his songs) all his songs speak to people who don't fit in right telling them really not to care at all about what other people think or to wear your weirdness and be it with pride.

Best song on the album. Truly terrific.

This is probably my favorite of all the piratey music you've made. Nice job.

I never pegged Voltaire as an Ant Warrior! Ironically, the first time I heard this song was the night before my fourth time seeing Adam Ant in concert. Didn't expect to be able to link these two together, but I'm glad it happened!

Honestly This is my favorite off of the entire album ^.^

This guy is good. Was brought here due to his appearance at Pensacon 2017!Looking forward to his show.

My favorite song from the whole album :) Been a big fan for a long time ! Thank you for all your music !

Oh captain my captain!

That cheery pippy whistling gets me so much. Hahaha

+XISCify I didn't know about Adam Ant until this song. I think it is nice that Voltaire did this tribute to him.

there was a version of this song that was on your sound cloud that i heard years and years ago when i was in high school. it was like a percussive version? the instrumental was mostly drums and the like, and i really loved how bright and cheery it was. I would often listen to it in the wintertime, early in the morning on the way to school and would sing it as i walked with big swinging steps. I loved to imagine running through a small fishing or trading town and catching a ship at the docks, how bright and blue the sky would be despite how chilly, crisp, and refreshing the sea air was. I was wondering, what happened to that version and would you ever post it again? I'd be super stoked if you did

Easily my favorite song of Voltaire's. Also definitely the one that has influenced me personally the most

Yay!

Divine

I love this song Voltaire, and I love the sound of it all done up, but... I honestly preferred the song as just the drum and acoustic, like you have on soundcloud. It sounded more melancholic, and to me that's the way this song should be played, upbeat but with just the right of melancholy in the lyrics, as well as the feel of "you can't tell me what to do anymore." so I just have to ask.. would there be any way to get the Soundcloud version of this song?

as a member of the Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster and a full fledged pirate, I greatly appreciate you getting the word out on how TRUE pirates act. Thieves and criminals we are not, we are merely peaceful explorers that have been tarred and feathered by the Christian church for over a thousand years!

So I understand this song is a sort of tribute to Adam Ant, and I know it's full of references. The ones I'm getting are the dandy highwaymen (Stand and Deliver) and Prince Charming. Although I'm fairly sure I'm missing some others. Can someone point them out to me?

So fucking good.

Wait, Atom Ant? Wasn't he a troll-character? He was a satirical joke about how easy it was to pitch a cartoon to HB? I thought it was about his Grandparents? Voltaire, this was obviously a passion-project song? Was a parody or was there a reveal here? Are you a Atom Ant-fan or is this a tribute to your Kin?

I appreciate the pirate message in the lyrics, but the melody isn't piratey enough. Should sound more like a sea shanty. I know Voltaire can do Shanties, the beast of Pirate Bay is bomber, but this one just clashes.

@TheLairofVoltaire

2 жыл бұрын

Every song about pirates should sound like every other song about pirates? How dreadfully cliché and creatively limiting. This particular song is an homage to Adam Ant ( who's even quoted in the lyrics). He made alternative pop songs in the 80s while styling himself as something of a pirate. Perhaps that's why this homage sounds a bit like an alternative pop song from the 80s as opposed to a sea shanty. 🏴‍☠️
