Star Shanties 5 o'clock set – Sat 10/4/2025 (Time-Travelers' Wknd), Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

I have not screened this footage, and can vouch for nothing about it one way or another. I definitely sang along this year, rather than simply mouthing the lyrics as I did last year, but I think the camera was far enough away from my face to not pick that up to an intolerable extent.

Geeky folk at its finest (as is to be expected of music written by Arthur Rowan), the Star Shanties project (https://www.starshanties.com/) is not simply music about Star Wars: these are songs that could exist WITHIN the world of Star Wars. Each of the songs has lore, not all of which is relayed within the show. Full lore/flavor-text can be found in the video descriptions on Arthur Rowan's channel ‪@bardfather‬ , along with lyrics, earlier versions of the songs, and songs not appearing in any of the sets.

● Hydian Way:    • Star Wars Shanty #8 - Hydian Way  
● Sing a Song of Obi-Wan:    • Sing a Song of Obi Wan - Star Shanty #10  
● Old Man Thrawn:    • Star Wars Shanty #1 - Old Man Thrawn  
(only lyrics; no flavor-text in description)
● Many a Parsec:    • Star Wars Shanty # 5 - Many a Parsec  
● Ghosts of Alderaan:    • Star Wars Shanty #4 - Ghosts of Alderaan  

Not appearing in any of these sets but you should still go watch them if you haven't.
● Song of the Midnight Blade:    • Star Wars Shanty #6 - Song of the Midnight...  
● Let Shine Your Orbs of Life Day:    • Star Wars Shanty Bonus Track - Let Shine Y...

(only real-world flavor-text; no lyrics in description)

I invite and encourage you to download this footage to use, reference, and enjoy independently of the questionable platforms on which it is hosted.

As always, my companion and I make words and sounds. Some may be prompted by filming, but none are intended for the camera/mic.

Archived out of love and admiration for the source material and those who brought it about. Music belongs to Arthur Rowan.
