As a nation we have sent great singers , songwriters,and bands to the global stage..but we kept the best to ourselves, Rip Christy a national treasure ❤️
No arguments from me... Keep your loved ones home safe & free from harm Diamond right here RIP Christy lad Your music will live forever 💛💙🤍 (Glad I got Irish Friend's without them I had no clue)
What a lov3ly way with words you have, a great tribute to one of your sons and brother. I have such respect for your countries people and traditions, not many bands can get to the places that Aslan can, namely deep within the heart. Fellow Christy Dignam lover.
Only underrated by those who didn't appreciate a great tune from a great band with the greatest frontman of any irish band. He could hold the audience in the palm of his hand. RIP Christy...
Just started to listen to Aslan bc my late baby brother best Pal only brother loved Christy and Aslan,wish i had of went to Aslan gigs with my bro instead of letting stupidness get in the way, they must of been amazing live❤
Just discovered this band and singer. I am from the NE of England and have never heard of Christy but what a singer. I was born on the same day and year as him. I can't get enough but sorry to hear he is no longer with us. RIP😢
May you get the best bed in heaven Christy. The word legend gets thrown around too much, but you were and you were ours. A true Dublin icon. Aslan gave us amazing nights and it breaks my heart we will never get to see you and the boys in concert again. To the whole of Aslan Thank you for the music. God bless x
This gives me goosebumps. Lovely song and amazing band. Followed them since mid ninetys and privileged to have been able to see them in concert. Sending love from Liverpool. RIP Christy, condolences to family and friends. ❤
So true , find it mad how the likes of U2 are so well known but these legends aren’t , would recommend anyone to go to Ireland to see them , everything you imagine from the RU-vid videos and so much more , how many artists can you say that about ? Much love from Glasgow ❤
@@sless655 Christmas greetings to you! I totally agree. Never really liked U2 much, and fairly new to these guys, but they are definitely something special, and seem to be really nice, genuinly decent people. I wish I could see them play live. I'm in UK so probably not much chance now. I did live in Ireland for a while, so regret missing my chance then. X.
I come by about once a month to watch this video, especially when I'm feeling homesick (Dub in Japan long term). I saw the recent comments and googled... I'm so sorry to hear of Christy's situation. God bless you Christy, thank you for your voice, your music, your inspiration. Prayers and love to you and your family xxx
I've followed this band for years and I've read about somethings he went through as a child, and I suffered the same as Christy, and this songs is just perfection, R.I.P Christy ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Phenomenal. Blessed to have been amongst him;them/Aslan;Christy.. we won’t see the like of this again. Gifted. Thank you; as I shed tears of joy and pride for my homeland.
Beautidul eyes that showed Christy's soul via his music. Thank you Christy. My condolances to his band mates - I suspect even with all the heartache, Christy is an irreplaceable colleagued ❤
What a song ,what a singer christy dignam was .listening to the crowd singing back to christy just beautiful, oh man he was a legend .a pure genuine humble man RIP christy
Firstly let me say I am not a fan of Aslan nor have I ever been. As a music lover and Dubliner I respected them and Christy for coming through the difficulties they have over the years. And also for the joy they brought to many many people over there career's but I cannot believe not 1 member of U2 made the effort to go to the funeral of Christy. I dont know what the others were doing but Bono's other engagement was a book signing with his friend Tom Hanks whos friendship is obviously more important to him than showing a bit of respect for Christy a fellow artist and Irishman. No less his family and fellow band mates. I'm not one of the people who trolls U2 at every opportunity in fact I rarely make comments about anyone and again I respect them and there success but I really do feel were this any other member of the Irish music or artistic fraternity who had died they would be there and making their presence known. Shame on you U2 I think many would expect better
Last saw them cork opera house, encore was hey Jude. My sons name needless to say it was very special moment. Fly high Christy pure raw magic .from a Scottish man he was one of Ireland's greats. Happy times listening
Loved this song since was a wean myself. Now I'm in my early 30's, in a relationship with a friend of 25+ years, their weans my god child, now I've taken on a heightened responsability: This songs hits with a force I couldn't have imagined before. How can I protect you, in this crazy world?
I never heard of this Irish man. I left Ireland in 1988 the same year he appeared on night hawks unashamed wearing his cross, when too many Irish are losing there identity,Christy never lost his language and trad voice.A true Irish Patriot and gentle soul.The blessed virgin will take him in her arms on his return home.
Gods good, magical it spoke to me many times, just came out of the blue one day I was walking in Donegal... xx much love ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️😜 pass on love xx
Biggest band from Ireland to not “make it.” It’s a shame, but those of us who know the music will always have the memories of Christy and Aslan. Christy, you’ve departed this “crazy world” but you’ve left your music for us so you will always be remembered. I hope you have peace and comfort in the afterlife.
Christy was meant to perform at my sister's wedding two years ago, Ill health cancelled, amazing person and everyone in the band at the moment it's very difficult. My love and support to all
