Sea shanty TikTok is the gift that keeps on giving.

This one is amazing, too.

In retrospect, it probably should have been obvious that Iâd like sea shanties when @Spotify insisted that I liked a genre called âStomp and Hollerâ. But hey, itâs 2021, and here we are.

OMG, I love this one too.

And if you follow this thread, itâs got all three parts of The Scotsman: https://twitter.com/jennyrae/status/1349023502742016002
There are so few duets with this one, and I desperately want there to be duets and virtual choirs, so please make some. Like now.

(Wikipedia tells me itâs a âmodernâ sea shanty. From 1976. I still like it.)
BTW, I don't write sea shanties, but I am a science fiction & fantasy author. If you like fantasy, my novelette, "Girls with Needles and Frost" can be read here ( http://www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/girls-with-needles-and-frost/). There are seamstresses, magic, & revolution.
And if you're in the mood for science fiction, "Everything and Nothing", my tale of galactic war and love can be read here.

This one is lovely!
Anyway, my life is very boring and involves lots of watching children, so please excuse this wee obsession.

You like the Wellerman, right? Hereâs the pandemic version that you didnât know you needed. https://twitter.com/fozmeadows/status/1349724466733977601
This is 2021 in a nutshell.

This isnât a traditional sea shanty, but it *is* excellent.
By the way, you all know that @NathanEvanss, who pretty much jumpstarted 2021's love affair with sea shanties, is on Twitter, too? You should all go follow him.
