You sing wonderfully, so I subscribed, only to find out you do very little singing. If brass is your primary love, so be it, but perhaps a bit more vocals?
If you are looking for material to stand out with, there are not many modern covers of old school filk. I recommend Dawson's Christian (there are a few old versions online) a space shanty/ghost story, Elfland, and Hymn of the Nightmare. Hymn of the Nightmare might be particularly suited to your interpretation.
I've never heard of his song or band before. But I had to look up the lyrics and listen to it again. It made me think of my best friend from Junior High. I was the best man at his wedding. I moved away and lost touch. And I remember the phone call from a mutual friend that he had taken his own life. My best friend, and I wasn't there for him when he needed it. Thank you for being my friend when no one else would be. I miss you man.
I have a few best friends that have been going along with me for years since I was in secondary school. I cannot imagine if anyone of them died. May your friend rest in peace and I wish you and the friend will meet again in another life.
I love how she never looks at the camera directly. It gives the impression that the character that she is portraying is so distressed by their guilt that they cannot focus on anything else, but loss.
As a longtime fan of TLJ, brass instruments, and more recently your version of Haul Away Jo, I'm very glad youtube decided to suggest this to me the other day. A very lovely cover, adequate even.
An incredible finish to an already wonderful song. It makes you a bit more committed to living. That's handy. "I make sail for the Dawn till the Darkness is gone." ...and we start living again, even if damaged.
So I was just listening to the longest johns remix 2023 and the original of this song multiple times, comparing... Then I scrolled down and saw your version and went Ok, lets hear it. And... That was just plain good. Like, really nice. Adequate. Well done. I liked the brass, too.
Thank you everyone for all the lovely comments on this! ♥
I absolutely love this 🖤
It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it ...... 🏴☠️

Coming from an unbiased opinion, I'd agree

I might be biased, but I think this is rather good
Adequate, even
You’re allowed to be biased when it’s that good.
October 10th
You’re not biased, this is an amazing cover of it.
Yes you are biased. This may be good but nothing can beat the longest John's
The "AS THE" in the last verse hits like a 16 wheeler with the horns leading in. Great job.
We will all miss Dave. I wish him a prosperous future.
I love how she never looks at the camera directly. It gives the impression that the character that she is portraying is so distressed by their guilt that they cannot focus on anything else, but loss.
Absolutely beautiful Lucy.❤ A great tribute to Dave & the song.

I don't know why but this cover made me bawl my eyes out. Absoluteoy beautiful. Thank you for making this!
Ooof that was breathtaking
Breathtaking. (I'm not crying, you're crying!)

Beautiful
I lost some people I really care about this year. This is a great reminder that they would want me to keep moving forward.
I can neither confirm nor deny that I have this playing on loop through my entire workday. (oh who am I kidding, I am doing that)
That was beautiful! Dammit Lucy, why you make me cry.
Me too
Hermoso, gracias por compartir.
I'm in love with this!!! Lucy, you're amazing!!!
Absolutely amazing! I hope you collab more with TLJ, would love to hear your voice with JD, Andy and Robbie :)
Lucy has sung with the lads on a few live streams & her harmonies with them are amazing. Her voice blends beautifully.❤
This receives the Duck Man seal of approval :) absolutely love it Lucy 🦆
November Tenth!
Beautiful ❤ Thank you, Lucy!
Don't usually comment but have to say this is the best version I've ever heard. Very well done
That was absolutely beautiful, Lucy and now my eyes may be a tiny bit wet ❤
Wow. This was
really good.
This has to be one of the most beautiful covers I've ever heard. So good.
Coming back to this after nearly a year; it was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks, Lucy.
Oh wow, just stumbled upon this, thanks YT algorithm! That was absolutely gorgeous!
Just beautiful Lucy ❤
I have never liked and subscribed so fast after seeing a video. Well done.
This is breathtaking! So beautiful...
This is fantastic! You are so talented.
Great presentation and great everything!
On this Memorial Day a thought: absolutely beautiful.
What a beautiful song and voice. The simplistic nature of the video only gives it so much more. Subscribed.
So beautiful and moving. Love it ❤
Amazing, just absolutely amazing.
You have a beautiful voice!
Adequate beyond belief, definitely in my top 2 favourite versions ;)
Marvelous stuff, this will be on loop for days!
The most adequate thing. I wish we can get a version with the johns too! plus the doot obviously.
Wow, just wow! Amazing!
Love it!
This was lovely. What a gorgeous interpretation you all did. Ten years, that's quite some time. I think that's awesome.
This is one of my favorite songs. I love this rendition, and I also love a French Horn!
Very melodic! I think Bones in the ocean is good to sing for every kind of voice. This is actually a good counterpart for Dave's bass. I Love it!
the emotion is palpable
truly breathtaking delivery
Stunningly beautiful....thank you so much.
Quite a beautiful cover. Thank you for sharing this.
This is really good! I hope you participate in their upcoming community project!
Lucy this is so beautiful!! I love it so much ❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous. The horn added so much, and your voice is like a ribbon.
this is one of my favorite songs by the Longest Johns, and you absolutely nailed it with this cover! 😁
❤
Absolutely the best cover of this song I have ever heard!
This is my absolute favorite sea shanty and you did it well! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You have a beautiful voice and I hope you keep singing not for others but for yourself 😊
CHILLS ABSOLUTE CHILLS!
I hold this song so close to my heart, thank you for doing it justice

I don't know if anything waits for us on the other side, but if there is heaven, I hope the first voice I hear is at least half as beautiful as this
Beautiful, really nice arrangement and performance!

These bones cold and together. They’ll embrace me. Though in life would they welcome me so. Thoughts I have while wrapped in their cold endless arms
I discover also your beautiful tone of voice! bravo!
Such a lovely cover.
This gave me chills!
TH-cam has done me a solid by recommending this.
love how triumphant and hopeful it feels from 2:50 on, perfect word painting, even better than the original.
Wait, the triumphant rise after "till the darkness has gone"? What? Had to listen to the verse 10 times. Amazing.
Took me 3 seconds to fall in Love with your Voive❤❤❤
THANKYOU!
