To be fair, those parallels are also forbidden in baroque, classical and romantic music theory, all of which are older than those shanties and sea songs.

The reason sea shanties are so easy to listen for long periods of time is because they were made to be sung while working on a ship as well as it help the crew keep time for certain tasks

They "sound better" with mens voices because they're work songs, written specifically for male voices as a way to provide a cadence to men doing hard physical labour aboard ships.

I've been listening to sea shanties for a whole now. Ever since I found a random radio station that played them! I love the realization of "there's other things to twiddle when the men have sailed away" haha

In Canada we have a National band, Great Big Sea -- who sang old traditional sea shanty songs, along with their pop music hits. Such fine harmonies, too! (an Irish tradition!)

Its interesting seeing the difference between Male and female shanties, I think the difference comes in because (since women weren't allowed on ships) the music isn't designed for our voices, so the main association with women and the sea is with sirens and mermaids - which I think makes sense with how some of the women in these tiktoks sang and behaved!

I love this song so much

Ooo this gave me the chills!

Really hope this music doesn’t all get boiled down to “sea shanties”. Some are mining songs, one was written in the ‘90s by Great Big Sea, some are old folk songs, but very few of these are actual sea shanties. But they’re all great songs. Folk music doesn’t get its due!

I was thinking that this gave me Hunger Games vibes at times. That would explain it if they include mining songs. Are you coming to the tree?

Hi! I'm the violinist in this video, thanks for sharing! I've been a fan of this channel since middle school and I was so shocked and honored to see myself in this video! My original arrangement of this is on my channel and I have sheet music for it too!

9:45 WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS!? IT SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF THOSE SINGERS (she wrote the anxiety song I think)

Not me sitting here, a sad alto/tenor lady, who loves sea shanties, hearing one of my favorite musicians on KZread since my childhood, say I shouldn't sing sea shanties. XD big oof

This new trend of sea shanties almost makes me cry because when I was younger my dad was in a sea shanty band and it reminds me of my childhood. It’s really nice to hear this style again!

I like thinking the girls are mermaids who just couldn't help but sing along 😆 And Joel should totally do a cover of this song! I think he'll sound cool

I just imagined a pirate crew captured a mermaid in the nets and was about to kill her when the mermaid picked up a cup of beer and started singing sea shanties. The pirates looked at each other, looked at the mermaid and said in unison “SHE IS ONE OF THE BOYS"

In 'The Wellerman' the singer has a tinge of Scottish accent and that makes it more wonderful. It gives it some sailor vibes.

The thing about sea shanties is that they were common folk singing almost like telling tales where the working men would sing together have a laugh and keep themselves moralised. It’s less about how hard or good they are and more about singing with others

If you want some *quality* sea shanties, check out The Neverland Pirate Band - The Jolly Roger and Yo Ho Matey's Away (Ship Hop).🤣
