Hat guy is Sam Pope and I’ve become a huge fan of his. He is not only an amazing vocalist, but if you check out the Wellermen videos, he is a helluvan actor as well (I always love people who act the song). The ginger guy (beard) is Jonny Stewart-he has quite a range. And you probably saw Luke Taylor on American Idol. Peter thinks he should sing opera. I agree. LOL. Did you notice the Bass Gang (save Bobby) are all in red, and the Wellermen (save Bobby) are all in blue, and Bobby is in purple? LOL. The bagpipes are a nice touch. I’m always there for well-played bagpipes. (Played badly, they sound like a bag of drowning cats.) Great reaction as always, Mortius! Love the pirate getup!
actually love your reactions because you pause when I don't realise I need a pause and having someone else feel All The Things as well is very helpful in processing the all the damn emotions that music makes me feel
This was sooo much fun to see Mortius! I agree! This cover is so enjoyable! They have done full versions of 3 of songs from Home Free's "Sea Shanty Medley." This one, "The Wellermen" (of course) and "Drunken Sailor." Highly recommend you check out all of them. ❤
Watching you genuinely helps me process and get more out of these songs. They're so well done and packed with goodies, I can't possibly find all of them. You pause and notice many of them, plus you express exactly how I feel about the piece. Words are optional for ND communication :)
Thank you! This is my second favorite sea song. My absolute favorite is the hound + the fox original A Whistling Lad with the Wolf (Adam Chance). It’s haunting and soothing, stunning!
I think its a folk song rather than a shanty, but one of my all time favorites is a lesser known one called 'Lies An Lurrighan'. ('lies' is pronounced leesh or lees) Its an old Scottish song. My favorite version is done by a group called 'Scatter The Mud'.
This was such a cool re-imagining of the song - I would never have thought of this arrangement but I love it! I agree with you Mortius, I just had my life changed 😅
This video popped up in my recommended, and I have to thank you for reminding me that it's a moral imperative that I buy this mp3 now that I have some spare cash kicking around. Also, your enthusiasm is both infectious and adorable, I'm subscribing to your channel.
If you like shanties, may I suggest pretty much any song from The Longest Johns? They do both covers and original songs. For fun and funny I'd suggest Moby Duck or Hoist Up the Thing, for shanty/folk I'd suggest Oak & Ash and Thorn or Bones in the Ocean. They have so many but I feel like you'd like those ones especially!
Your reaction video came up in my recommended, and somehow I'd missed the original (I'm subbed to your channel and theirs). Immediately paused this to go watch the original, and yeah it broke me pretty good. Came back here to watch it break you, and was not disappointed. Jeez they're good.
The song sounds like the sound track to an epic fictional music video celebrating Santiana's life, mourning his death, then the fierce spirit of his comrades rising up in his name. In the Harbor, fellow captains and sailors lined the pier, heads bowed, hats over hearts in mourning. *bagpipes begin* As the funeral barge passed one captain begun to sing, the song of Santiana now dead, fighting General Taylor. He looked down at the doubloon clutched in his fist, given to him by Santiana years ago when but a cabin boy. Other voices joined his, as more seamen recalled his legend and companionship. The chorus rose, now a determined battle-cry instead of a funeral dirge as emotions swelled and courage grew as men boarded their ships, hell-bent on vengeance. *scene cut* Cannons thundered and smoke billowed around General Taylor's ship as it raced for for an escape from the ambush. Hundreds of seemingly unaffiliated ships caught his armada unaware off the shores of Mexico. The open gap was suddenly blocked by an ship. The general didn't recognize the captain, but paled when he saw the name, new and gleaming across its stern. "The Santiana" (head canon, not historically accurate XD)
Hi Mortius, I would like to introduce you into the rabbithole of the German Shanty-Rock band Santiano. Take a look at Santiano´s songs like "Bully In The Ally" Shanty Version, "Doggerland" (a sunken part of land in the northern sea centuries ago), "Mädchen von Haithabu" (Girl from Haithabu), "Kinder des Kolumbus" (Children of Columbus) ... and may more. Some songs from Santiano are in English and some in German but when you love music the langauge is second important... 🤘⚓⛵🌎
Great job on the outfit! Just finished up a cloak for ren faire this year myself to go with my tunic from last year. And I'm sure I'm not the only to let you know but, even if you don't react to more of their stuff here (though I'd love it if you do!) if you like listening to shanties for getting into character, their album is one you should definitely check out!
Idk if you're still reading these comments 2 weeks later, but if you want some more pirate music to listen to on your offtime, id HIGHLY suggest the band Captain Bogg and Salty. They were a kinda kids alternative rock band like 10 years ago and they have some awesome covers of typical pirate songs, covers of not related songs at all, and some spectacular originals. My favorites are Scallywag, Part of Your World (yes it's that song, sung by pirates), and emphatical piratical, which they actually wrote off the basis of a letter i wrote them, which they credit in the beginning! I really think they'd be right up your alley!
Prior to this edition, my favorite full edition of _Santiana_ is the one by Colm McGuinness, but *GODDAYUM.* I think it is safe to say that Mortius was _not_ Prepared~😆🦁🤣
"Go away Starburst, we don't care about you right now. I just had my life changed!" - Mortius, 2023
Also Peter in full operatic voice is enough to make me melt onto the floor kthanxbye
Hahahaha, same
I love shanties, I love Wellermen, I love the Bass Gang, I love bagpipes, and I love Mortius' reactions!
Great job on your costume.
Bagpipes have absolutely no business in a shantey. Fiddle, yes. (And I love bagpipes). Yet, somehow it works.
Hat guy is Sam Pope and I’ve become a huge fan of his. He is not only an amazing vocalist, but if you check out the Wellermen videos, he is a helluvan actor as well (I always love people who act the song). The ginger guy (beard) is Jonny Stewart-he has quite a range. And you probably saw Luke Taylor on American Idol. Peter thinks he should sing opera. I agree. LOL.

The bagpipes are a nice touch. I’m always there for well-played bagpipes. (Played badly, they sound like a bag of drowning cats.)
Great reaction as always, Mortius! Love the pirate getup!
I loved when he took his hat off for the song, extra special!
Sam Pope deserves much more appreciation
"PETER, pETer, PetER, peeeeeteeeeeerrr."
actually love your reactions because you pause when I don't realise I need a pause and having someone else feel All The Things as well is very helpful in processing the all the damn emotions that music makes me feel

Thank you! This is my second favorite sea song. My absolute favorite is the hound + the fox original A Whistling Lad with the Wolf (Adam Chance). It’s haunting and soothing, stunning!
Whistling Lad isn't a shanty, though..

Heads up, by the way. You are not ready for the new voiceplay song. You might wanna sit down for this one. it's a *big* one.
I love sea shanties, and this video is great! Mortius, your happy, astonished reaction is infectious. Thank you!
Thank YOU for your view and your words!
“Let’s go, Beard Man!”
😂😂
The Wellermen have some powerful tenors along with basses. They actually have a self-titled full album of shanties, too.
I loved so many of your reactions throughout this video, reprimanding Peter for his transformative powers is a clear favourite though 😂😂
#MortiusIsBrokenAgain2023
Based on a true story.
This was such a cool re-imagining of the song - I would never have thought of this arrangement but I love it! I agree with you Mortius, I just had my life changed 😅
Your excitement makes me feel validated, been listening to this on repeat (like, ONLY this song) while working for 2 days 😂😂
Tell me you're neurodivergent without telling me you're neurodivergent 😁
Nice touch in this video ( and I am not sure if this is intenitional) : Bobby wears blue like the wellermen but a simple shirt like the bass gang :)

Another fun reaction! Great work!
Wow, fabulous reaction, I giggled out loud when you put your face on the 'wall' and giggled again when you told starburst to go away.
LOVED YOUR REACTION! This was a great cover!!! ❤
Question for you Mortius, have you seen their cover of “Nancy Mulligan” with Malinda? If not I feel like it’s something you might enjoy quite a bit
If you like shanties, may I suggest pretty much any song from The Longest Johns? They do both covers and original songs. For fun and funny I'd suggest Moby Duck or Hoist Up the Thing, for shanty/folk I'd suggest Oak & Ash and Thorn or Bones in the Ocean.

Oooh that costume! Kudos and have fun (hope you had fun, depending)
Thoroughly enjoyed everything (also kudos Mason) thank you
Mortius you are such a beautiful bean. You energy and positivity is infectious and you bring light to my day!
I've been waiting for your reaction to this! When the bag pipes came it....your reaction was everything I had hoped for!!!
YOU'RE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3:13 I believe it’s Sam pope on the high notes

Most marvelous Mortius meltdown! 😆
Seldom seen you that speechless at the end Mortius,😅.
that shirt could use a cravat. Seriously a neckband ties proper would sell the pirate look.
Idk if you're still reading these comments 2 weeks later, but if you want some more pirate music to listen to on your offtime, id HIGHLY suggest the band Captain Bogg and Salty.

Amazing
If you ever need more material, The Longest Johns are my favorite sea shanty group. I think you would enjoy hoist up the thing.
Listening to this without the video was a treat. I had no idea the Peter was going full opera mode. My reaction was pretty much the same 😂
"Hat Man"... lol i love it
GEOFF CAME OUT WITH ANOTHER COVER THE SAME DAY THIS WAS POSTED!
JACKS LAMENT IS SO GOOD IN HIS VOICE!
Me when the bagpipes came in
Ooooh...part of the infamous Treasure Planet tattoo revealed to us?
Mortius ⇒ 🤯(many, many more than normal)
Say something intelligent Mr Mortius sir…
Prior to this edition, my favorite full edition of _Santiana_ is the one by Colm McGuinness, but *GODDAYUM.*
I think it is safe to say that Mortius was _not_ Prepared~😆🦁🤣
If you can find a video of Odetta singing Santiana, I'd love to hear from you react to that.
Bag pipes!
Check out William Pint and Felicia Dale, they’re from Seattle.
When did SAMI ZAYNE join Wellerman?!
Never seen the original before this but nothing here suprises me because Wellerman.
You mean you just had your life changed in Mexico I’m sorry I had to
Love your reaction you should check out Michael korte the muses cover from Hercules and his wicked 4 Whitney cover it will blow your mind
Always a great video if Mortius loses the ability to speak.
