it’s time for an actual, legitimate, in-depth discussion about sea shanties, and some corresponding meta about the tundra!
this covers what shanties actually are, what they are not, and why peter lukas wouldn’t be caught dead listening to or participating in one (nevermind allowing his crew to so much as consider them an option.)
Keep reading
I’ll admit that I’ve not listened to the Magnus Archives - but this post was fascinating, informative, and fun. And I now have a Sea Shanties playlist on Spotify.
I just wanted to pick out one bit of the post to talk about.
“ even outside of the context of sea shanties specifically, there is a POWER that comes with singing with a chorus at all. there’s a LOVE and EXHILARATION that comes with hearing that many people singing together, with being one of the people singing.”
This is exactly why I love my choir. Why I love that we’ve kept going through quarantine, meeting virtually. We can still sing together, be together. It’s so, so important. It’s not nearly the same as what it’s like to stand in the middle of a crowd, heart bursting, chin raised, lungs full, and <i>sing</i>. But until we’re together again, you can bet your arse I’ll be singing along with my sea shanties at home.
