That's so beautiful! There is something in The Unthanks music that is so unique that I feel like they are the only artists that can reach a certain part of my soul.
Beautiful, beautiful music. There’s so much to love about the Unthanks, musically, artistically original and always impressionistic evoking images as I listen. Magical, all power to you & yours! One love🫶🔆
Just glorious. I've been following these wonderful ladies since their incarnation as Rachel Unthank & the Winterset when they released Cruel Sister in 2005 and they just go from strength to strength. This is such a beautiful song in every way. Thanks for sharing. I hope to catch you playing live again very soon.
All you Maine-men, proud and young, When you run your Easting down, Don't go down to Fundy Bay, She'll wear your time away. Fundy's long and Fundy's wide, Fundy's fog and rain and tide; Never see the sun or sky, Just the green wave passing by. Cape Sable's horn blows all day long; I wonder why, I wonder why. Cape Breton's bells ring the swells; Ring for me, ring for me. You know, I would rather ride Grenfell Strait or the Breton tide, Spend my days on Labrador, Never see old Fundy's shore. Give her staysail, give her main, In the darkness and the rain; I don't mind the wet and cold, Just don't like the growing old. Cape Sable's horn blows all day long; I wonder why, I wonder why. Cape Breton's bells ring the swells; Ring for me, ring for me. East-by-North or East-North-East, Give her what she steers the best; I don't want the foggy waves To be my far and lonely grave. Cape Sable's horn blows all day long; I wonder why, I wonder why. Cape Breton's bells ring the swells; Ring for me, ring for me.
We sharpen our tools and the edit skill so we grow after pandemic! Famous! Strong determination this one. i can tell. 😆 Thanks. We are grateful of you.
what a beautiful version. I hope one day I don't have to travel from Spain to see you in concert , until then, I can't wait to see you at The London Palladium
Can’t wait to hear the new song. Have a great tour! Edit: i listened to it about 10 times on the first day. I love the lush production and more adult, mature, and polished sound.
Haunting melody with beautiful harmonies & that unique sound you have, it’s so lovely to listen to, unlike the loud harshness we all to often hear today due to poor digital recordings The video location looks great, love it
only just found this set of songs and changed my life from magpie to the latest wat a set of beautiful ladies that realise the world may be a mix up place but it not suppose to be this way maybe if people turned to music and listened we we all live in a better place . Be kind to all people animals domestic or wild they were all here before us
The Unthanks were fantastic last night live on stage in Exeter (20/04/22). Thanks so much to everyone in the band. Beautiful. Sorrows Away, indeed. Now, where is the album...
Just preordered the digital download 💯 At some point I'll buy the CD bundle with the merch, but living in New Zealand I realise that things just cost that little bit more 😆 Fantastic music! Really looking forward to hearing the whole album 🤩
The band posted a picture of Lizzie on their FB group of her recording her trumpet parts remotely in Sweden, where i guess she lives? So maybe she wasnt available for the video?
I find myself deeply moved by this beautiful rendition. Perhaps being disabled and often spending so much time alone I can relate to "just the green waves passing by". I've made my peace with the situation, and myself, so sympathy not needed. But just saying.
I sadly relate only too well to this statement too Larry..I' m a northern lass like these girls & until 3 years ago was living opposite the beautiful beach in Hove East Sussex...I used to walk on the beach daily..always alone...then we my Multiple Sclerosis started & I started to have falls that everyday walk became once a week....then a distant memory as I was too sick to leave the house..I' m NOT religious ( non of us in the UK are these dsys) but tonight I will light a candle for you Larry bxxx

I'm sad to say, but this album was such a disappointment. Suddenly gone all soft wishy-washy middle-age easy listening. I don't recognise you, girls and boys. Get back to where you once belonged! as the sage says.
Another delightful performance from these very talented women.💠💠💠
That's so beautiful! There is something in The Unthanks music that is so unique that I feel like they are the only artists that can reach a certain part of my soul.
Being an American, far from my roots, I still feel something old in me from listening to their music.
Beautiful, beautiful music. There’s so much to love about the Unthanks, musically, artistically original and always impressionistic evoking images as I listen. Magical, all power to you & yours! One love🫶🔆
We are so excited about this!
I definitely have something in my eye. And it's very beautiful, and it's very moving. Thank you all for bringing your light into these dark days...x
I love it! :-)
I can see why! Can't wait for the album
I’m not surprised you’re excited. I’ve loved your music but you’ve really excelled with this one. It’s so so beautiful. X
@@sophiafake-virus2456 doesn’t really matter if that is the case, my sentiments are the same. It’s beautiful.
Always such beautiful music by these beautiful women.😊
Unique sound! Bravo Ladies.👍

me too!
I've always loved Alan Fitzimmons singing this with your Dad and the Keelers. You've made a strikingly beautiful version of a great song. X
This is absolutely beautiful. Greetings from Florida.
Can’t wait to see you guys on tour very soon 🤩🥰🙌🙌🙌
All you Maine-men, proud and young,
When you run your Easting down,
Don't go down to Fundy Bay,
She'll wear your time away.
Fundy's long and Fundy's wide,
Fundy's fog and rain and tide;
Never see the sun or sky,
Just the green wave passing by.
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long;
I wonder why, I wonder why.
Cape Breton's bells ring the swells;
Ring for me, ring for me.
You know, I would rather ride
Grenfell Strait or the Breton tide,
Spend my days on Labrador,
Never see old Fundy's shore.
Give her staysail, give her main,
In the darkness and the rain;
I don't mind the wet and cold,
Just don't like the growing old.
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long;
I wonder why, I wonder why.
Cape Breton's bells ring the swells;
Ring for me, ring for me.
East-by-North or East-North-East,
Give her what she steers the best;
I don't want the foggy waves
To be my far and lonely grave.
Cape Sable's horn blows all day long;
I wonder why, I wonder why.
Cape Breton's bells ring the swells;
Ring for me, ring for me.
You guys are amazing; keep painting our world with beauty!
A beautiful song full of harmony .
Gorgeous. Heard about you from Mackenzie Crook. Stopped by for a listen.
So excellent. Such a sense of the sailing life.
This is a lovely lovely song😊. Can't wait to see you in The Toon soon! xx
Damn thats gurt! Bristol Selkie sevens looking forward to seeing you next week in Bath....
Fantastic! This is my kind of music. I can't wait for the album!!!
Beautiful and tender. The music alone brought me to tears. Will listen again to get the words!
Hauntingly beautiful, unmistakably Unthanks. I can't wait for the album.

So lyrical and tuneful ~ running tides. 💙
We sharpen our tools and the edit skill so we grow after pandemic! Famous! Strong determination this one. i can tell. 😆
Thanks. We are grateful of you.
The Unthanks were super in Dublin. Such gifted singers and wonderful backing musicians.
Superb! I’m focused on this song for a while
Sublime! Can't wait to see you at the workshop at Gap festival and concert.
Great as always. Cant wait to hear the other songs from Sorrows Away. Hugz from Holland (come again in your touring). H.

A beautiful piece of music.
Saw you tonight in Bath, really special music and musicians. Thanks so much ❤️
brilliance! Many thanks! such a gorgeous interpretation y'all!
Very lovely indeed and perhaps the most commercial single yet from this superb group

Beautiful music and beautiful video! Well done and looking forward to hearing the whole album. x
Fantastic. So sorry to have missed the shows. Excited to hear the album. Youse are all fab. xx

This is beautiful. So looking forward to seeing you in Bath next week.🙂
I really love this. Find it really moving. Beautiful song. Saw them at Norwich last week. They were fantastic.
So exciting. Hits hard! It's been a long time since a band made my hair stand on end.
Lovely.
Just beautiful . Really looking forward to seeing you on tour.
Beautiful cover of Gordon Bok's original.
Glad you point out it's a Gordon Bok song.
Hauntingly beautiful.
I love this, it's a great track. I heard it on Mark Radcliff's folk radio show.
Looking forward to the Palladium !!
Love this! Canada eh!
Absoutely beautiful. 👏
Brillant!
Just preordered the digital download 💯 At some point I'll buy the CD bundle with the merch, but living in New Zealand I realise that things just cost that little bit more 😆 Fantastic music! Really looking forward to hearing the whole album 🤩
I’m ordering some merch to Canada. The shipping is higher, but the prices are lower as they don’t include 20% tax outside the UK😀
Beautiful, beautiful! Can someone give a little background about the lyrics though?
Wonderful xx
Superb 👏👏👏👏👏
A delight.
Well, that's all kind of wonderful. Could have only been better if we'd actually seen Lizzie Jones playing that trumpet, presuming it is she!
The band posted a picture of Lizzie on their FB group of her recording her trumpet parts remotely in Sweden, where i guess she lives? So maybe she wasnt available for the video?
Lovely :)
Great song about my part of the world. What made you choose this topic?
Hello Unthanks - can you please tell me WHEN (year) George wrote Tar Barrel in Dale ?? Many thanks (or should that be many Unthanks 😀😀)
Lovely
Will there be a version of Farewell Shanty like the one from Saucy Nancy coming along with the new album - will it also be released,
