I have seen the film, I've heard the music. I would like to Thank You all down in Cornwall for returning something that could have been lost in the 21st Century forever and never heard and appreciated by the new generation. You have done the UK and most of all Cornwall Proud.

Returning to this song in the middle of COVID madness, a beautiful sentiment, let's all slow down and return to what matters

@BehindThePie Bloody hell mate! COVID-19 is not a joke. What a load of bollocks you speak. Listen to yourself! Two of my coworkers died of COVID-19. My girlfriend is a frontline essential worker, as a school teacher. I seriously can't stand people like you. Maybe you just don't like trains. Please show some respect or shut up. Yes, I'm a train enthusiast from Oregon, USA. Thank you.

I feel like I'm being seduced by the song of a pied piper to throw down my briefcase, give my wallet to a child with the only instruction to do something fun, and run into the forest laughing and twirling though the leaves in bare feet.

I love it!

I think in my case, that pied piper, or better still a kilted piper, would give me a shilling and my youth again, a Lee-Enfield and 200 rounds tucked into a set of 58 webbing, and a chance to get back at the bastards whon have wrecked this epoch for us all. If I get to fire just one round at an unmissable mover and shaker, say Murdoch or Cummings, I'll feel I've had my money's worth. GOC probably Michael, platoon commander TE Lawrence, battalion commander maybe Rommel. Good men on whatever side, who deserved better. As did you and I.

"But look! here come more crowds, pacing straight for the water, and seemingly bound for a dive. Strange! Nothing will content them but the extremest limit of the land; loitering under the shady lee of yonder warehouses will not suffice. No. They must get just as nigh the water as they possibly can without falling in. And there they stand—miles of them—leagues. Inlanders all, they come from lanes and alleys, streets and avenues—north, east, south, and west. Yet here they all unite." + Herman Melville

Between people and their own history. I love this song. I love how it makes me feel. No matter how bad my today might be. I hear something like this and I know it's still a good day.

Heard today about a film which tells how the Fisherman's Friends were discovered and signed to their record label. An excerpt of this song was played as part of the radio interview, so I'm glad to have found it on here. It's a grand bit of singing and you can hear every word, unlike so many of the so-called 'popular' music of today.

So, is this an original song or a traditional folk song? It's so hard to tell with this genre of music because there's always at least 3 versions of it and I'm always curious if those are covers of an original (relatively modern) song or different interpretations of a traditional folk song.
