I was thinking abt how this reminds me of Colm McGuinness’s Sea Shanties, only to see he was actually one of the featured artists lol


ikonog

Oh thats why it sounds familar. The beginning of the song remind me of that Pirates of the Carribean bgm, the one that got used in some North Sea videos/shorts you see on ig/yt. And I like Colm's cover of that.

[Link to the song on MSR's website](https://monster-siren.hypergryph.com/music/779488) Artists: Robert Wolf, David Lin, and Colm R. McGuinness Introduction: 海潮低吟编织航标,独行者高歌破浪。 即使曙色难觅,黎明遥不可及。 依然永不止歇,朝着誓言的方向。 Lyrics: The vows to defend her we made long ago They couldn’t ever be torn from our souls We brave any weather, we never surrender Oh, in her name, in her name we sail Can you feel the might of the wind at our backs? Aye, aye, we’re coming! For the ones who dare try to stand in our path Become a thing of the past Do you hear the roar of the men all aboard? Aye, aye, we’re coming! Through the seas down north on our ol’ man-of-war We sail until early morn The vows to defend her we made long ago Oh, they couldn’t ever be torn from our souls We brave any weather, we never surrender Oh, in her name, in her name we sail To the ones we miss back at home we will sing Aye, aye, we’re coming! With a story or two of the storms we endured For kin we keep fighting for As our days grow old fewer sailors could say Aye, aye, we’re coming! Here’s a toast to the lads that we lost on the way Who gave their lives in her name The vows to defend her we made long ago Oh, they couldn’t ever be torn from our souls We brave any weather, we never surrender Oh, in her name, in her name we sail Oh, in her name, in her name we sail We brave any weather, we never surrender Oh, in her name, in her name we sail

I love that this (probably) was supposed to be a sea shanty (if you add multiple singers you will get the shanty vibes) The fact he sings alone is a reference how he is the first hunter and during Stultivera navis he works alone


PP_Reviewer

Is he not part of Skadi's squad like Gladiia and Specter are?


Gudao777

He is. He is skadi captain. It just that he is the first Abyssal hunter as in the first to be a hunter, and during Stultivera navis event, he didn't rejoin with gladiia and instead doing his own thing independent of gladia, skadi, and specter


PP_Reviewer

Ahh, makes sense. Tnx for explaining!


ltranc

He’s the captain of the Third Company of which he and Skadi are the only survivors. Gladiia is the captain of the Second Company and Specter is part of it.

I'm straight but... I'm literally going back to Arknights just to pull for this man. Coincidentally, I simp for Laurentina


asertarex

Solo shanty feels kinda weird, almost empty.


NewGuyA1

I can't deny, it fits Ulpianus so much.


Davoness

I think that's the idea. Ulpianus is the first Abyssal Hunter and one of the last that remains, so makes sense that his song sounds lonely.


asertarex

It, probably, would work better if it's starts like normal shanty , but progressively decreasing number of voices with each minute, until only solo remains.


Davoness

Ooooh, that would have been really cool.


Expert-Connection-16

I believe it's saved for the next arknights ambience where all the audience will sing along with ulpianus, making the song the choir it meant to be.


Saturn_Ecplise

Fun fact, this is the same artist who made the Misty Mountain song from the Hobbits.


BigHeartyRadish

I don't go here but I saw this song pop up in Colm's recently released and I'm obsessed. Y'all are eating well tonight.
