Flapjack Is inspired from this song

I like how the art style changes from when he’s a boy to a man. The boy is smoother and has his eyes visible, while the man has more scribblish art with his eyes hidden, showing his anger, and when his eyes do appear it either shows his vulnerability when he hears his mother or his crazed drive for revenge when he finally has the captain in his grasp

Omg when she whispers how to kill him if you have headphones on you can hear her real ragged voice in one ear quietly and the song one in the other

The captain is actually of this world, and fears death, whereas the boy on the right is no longer human; he's just a walking force of nature-- the living embodiment of revenge and death. The captain thrashes around spluttering salt water, and the orphan just sinks silently into the black depths with only one thought on his mind. There are all these great little scenes throughout this whole video, but this one is one of my favorites.

Actually, whales do have teeth. The whales you're thinking of are baleen ( their teeth are fibrous and hair-like, but still made of enamel). This whale was a (check out this creative name) toothed whale, obviously based off of Moby Dick, which was a sperm whale. @Artur Janz: This was incredibly well done.

Well, I'm not sure where you looked up that definition, but it's not quite accurate. A roustabout is a general term for a blue-collar type worker that works in rough conditions, also called a roughneck. Sometimes it is used disparagingly for people that don't have much of a life and have a tendency to go from job to job learning no real skills. Given the context of this song, this is most likely true. That, and the artist even admitted it was a goof up. Still, great art and stylization. Well fitting and well done.

It wasn't his father, his father died and his mom was a fresh widow.

She then dies of consumption and he spends 15 years homeless before joining the church to sustain himself while he found a way to get revenge. Eventually, he joined a band of privateers (pirates) and likely told them what had happened to him so they chased after the fucker with the intent of giving the lad his revenge.

The point of the line is that it’s in his head and she never said that. He twisted her words so he feels guided and doesn’t have to feel guilt as he is going through with it. In his head he definitely will go through with it and that’s why his mother says “as you avenge this wicked deed” instead of “if you avenge this wicked deed” since she never said that and it’s just what he thinks she would say It’s confusing as hell but basically she didn’t say it and he is thinking that’s what she would say as he was going through with it.

Was listening to Pandora, this song came on so zipped to youtube to see if it had a good vid to go along with, found this and I loved it, the comic made it feel like one of those old mystery/thriller/scary stories I read as a kid, enjoyed it, a good accompaniment to an wonderful song

Man.. this song hits too close to home. My father was a sailor, much like in this song, he was a bastard that wronged my mother, dissapearing after all the shit he put her through. She's luckily still alive, but damaged, so my hatred for my own father is great. Ended up working offshore aswell, only because i have a love for the open seas.

I always thought his method of finding out who the guy was seemed sketchy (pun not intended). Like what kind of description did the "penitent whaler" give that would so unerringly describe the roustabout after 15 years? How do we know he has the right guy? How does he know he has the right guy? Like...what if the "captain" at the end is just some poor whaling captain whose entire crew and livelihood was swallowed by a whale, leaving him as the sole survivor, except there's this half-mad, deranged sailor claiming he was the man who wrong his mother 16 years ago? So miraculous to somehow have survived the whale attack, only to be tortured to death in the belly of a whale.

I loved this animation. I heard the song recently and I wanted to hear it again, and you hit the spot nicely. I'm glad you left the ending as FIN, since it has a bit of "Lady or the Tiger" feel to it. Something just don't need explicit detail.

Usually I prefer songs that change, that have some kind of especial dynamic. This one basically has 1 verse structure and a bridge and somehow manages to hold my attention more than anything else I listen to.

I have watched this video many times throughout the last few years. It is the best user-made music video I've ever seen and one of the best videos in KZread.

Yo, the Decemberists deserve this to be their music video for this song. No shit amazing job. The song gives feels enough, let alone your spot on illustrations.

I love ballads for their perfect cruelty. Your work perfectly shows all his anger and desire of revenge.

Colin Meloy is a master of the craft of story-telling through song...only one as good I can think of is Bob Dylan

nice graphics mate well done .

whoever did this deserves a huge present

I have watched your video so many times over and over because the combination of the genius of The Decemberists and your artwork work so well together, I think.

Hello, everybody! If you liked the video above, take a look at my brand new animated comics :D kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYhko5aCp9LVm7Q.html

Have you heard of the Watchmaker's Apprentice? It is a song by the Clockwork Quartet. Lovely, dark, steampunk song. These two songs sound quite similar. Not sure if you want to animate it, but you'll likely enjoy it regardless.

This reminded me of another song of theirs... The Doctor's Wife. I would love to see an animated version of that song in this style

Good morning mister! Since it was a non-profit work, I never made a print version. But maybe someday, if Decemberists give me permission :3

+Artur Janz I wouldn't hesitate for a second to pay money for a print version. The art matches the grim darkness of the song perfectly. Truly a masterpiece.

Actually, you can loop it right to the beginning of the story. No need to show it. Great work, thank you for posting it.

Of all many "Animated music videoes" of this song. I prefer your the most. It has a grit fit for the whole song and lyric.

elliyana Williams if you think about it realistically he likely did Because he had gone insane from revenge at this point and so he acted on his revenge even if the survivor wasn't the guy who left him and his mother in debt

honestly some the illustrations are creepier after reading Uzumaki

I was looking for a creepypasta and stumbled on this absolute gem!

The end was awesome, I do not agree. Where you cut it off was perfect, gave me chills. You are an outstanding artist!! Agh! This was incredible!

Ah thats why it's got 55 stab wounds...

the mother basically took her son's life, the only thing he knew was revenge and that's because of his mother. If she had just said I love you he probably would've lived a better life where he wasn't trapped in a whale murdering a man. I guess you could say his mother basically killed her son, if he didn't seek revenge he wouldn't be in a whale in the ocean with no way out. He gets revenge but he also dies, unless his mother's vengeful spirit somehow possessed the whale causing that to happen and then swimming back to land.

I like how the separate panels can display the image of one environment. Dave Gibbons would be proud.

this is practically my kind of art style and I love what you've done with it

I know it's implied that he does, but does he actually get the right guy?

Gazirra1 well fantasized most likely unless it was intended to be the wrong guy or left to our imagination Realistically he probably would of gotten the wrong guy... at 3 to remember the guy would be pretty impressive unless someone told him what happened to him and by who So then again he probably was lucky and got the right guy in the end i guess

Кто после ШЫМа???

I bought a cell phone off ebay the had music allready loaded in it and this song was there,kind of a lil score. I both agree and disagree with Medithfuls comment cuz I was eager to see the ending pics.But I got over that instantly because the "find him bind him" verse is not actually sung at the end but is instramental,so it's cool we know what he will say.......and do. Great job JanzArtur!

This is one of my favorite "Songs that tell a story" ever. I'm so excited to discover that someone animated it! Wonderful job!
