The Wellerman

"The Wellerman" by Nathan Evans is a traditional sea shanty typically performed in the key of G minor. Originally a work song sung by sailors while performing tasks aboard ships, it gained widespread popularity in 2021 after Evans, a Scottish musician, posted his rendition on TikTok. The song's origins date back to the 19th century, with its lyrics telling the tale of whalers awaiting the arrival of the Wellerman, a supply ship, to ease their toils. Evans' rendition features a lively and rhythmic melody, accompanied by his rich vocals and the stomping beat of traditional sea shanties. The song's unexpected resurgence on social media platforms sparked a global trend, with countless covers and remixes being created by musicians and enthusiasts alike.
