    I adore that the protagonist of this song is such a cheerful soul that he puts up with having all his possessions stolen and being made to sail the Irish Sea in a literal pigsty, but as soon as he hears English people badmouthing Ireland he goes ballistic.

    my mother listened with me and asked: does he breathe at all?
    now I'm wondering how many breaths were cut from the song...
    but it was just as magical and wonderful as Irish - as ever!
    also can't wait for the album!

    • @moonday5521
      @moonday5521 2 ปีที่แล้ว +46

      He strikes me as a vocalist who has just mastered his breathing, I wasn't a vocalist in school but I did play brass. Combined breathing is essential for professional vocalists and minimizing the sound you make while doing so is also a separate matter entirely, if you watch closely you can see him taking breaths almost as soon as he gets to an S sound, that's a very easy way of hiding the breath behind a sharp sound. It just makes his technique even more impressive when you notice it!

    • @atheonsorion2006
      @atheonsorion2006 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Actually, if you check out some of his older videos, you can hear some breathing. Even so, it doesn't really change the quality of the music.

    • @winterfall82
      @winterfall82 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Amazing breath control and a good microphone gate can cut breathes out. Maybe some audio equalizing can remove those frequencies, but of course tech can only go so far. Colm is just that good.

      @animecatloverru626 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He could be inhaling through his nose while singing. Incredibly hard to do, but if you have enough practice its possible. I did it a couple of times while in my high school band. On accident mostly but when adrenaline kicks in its easier.

    I love how the banjo is used for exactly two types of music and both are equally looked down upon by the country of origin, Irish shanties that originated from bogger Irish peasants and blue grass that originated from Irish immigrants that were equally bogger and eventually developed Southern accents and started getting very fermillar with their cousins and such

    You know you got something great when you can sing in a voice deeper than that of 99.99% of the population. And that's not even mentioning his high notes and fantastic range. (7,948,118,521 total world population approximate as of May 2022, and 0.0001 percent of that is around 7,900ish people) Presuming of course that I didn't mess up the math, which is definitely possible. I welcome anyone to double check the math, and criticism if I got it wrong.
