this song reminds me of the sadness and pain i endured growing up in dublin in the 80s

I first heard this song whilst watching the between the canals film and I can honestly say it's fantastic, his voice is so strong its amazing

Great song. This was my life growing up in Kilbarrack back in the day. Rough area back then.

Just stumbled upon this tonight. Moved and still moving. Beautiful.

When i was a boy, fantastic x !

Great song from Washington DC usa love it

Factories, Trains and Houses, Playground of my youth The place that left me mute I threw back my shoulders Factories, Trains and Houses The place that makes some strong And hurrys you along Some grow old very quick there No star ever played the cellar bar Glass and bottle fights We saw some crazy nights But then fights do excite you I'm awoken by a Handbrake turn outside I knew lads who died That sound chills me inside still Howth Junction could take you away And in the hayfields we'd squander the day And from the corner of Holywell road See the sunset over Saint Donaghs See the sunset over us all See the sunset over Saint Donaghs Some boys want to get me Because I hit one back I still can here the crack Of his head on the concrete Doin drugs and drinking Makes you so depressed And then you think you're blessed When you're dropping a tablet Troubled years and fighting Makes you sad you know And Mammy had to go Sure it's best in the long run Howth Junction could take you away And in the hayfields we'd squander the day And from the corner of Holywell road See the sunset over Saint Donaghs See the sunset over us all See the sunset over Saint Donaghs See the sunset over the world

Such an amazing artist. Music that makes you feel and think is a rare thing these days.

U give me shivers with your powerful words and voice love you Irish blood 😘

After living in Dublin for 16+ years, this song reminds me so much of being there (in my ancestral home). This song resonates so much with me - (Celtic)God bless you, Mr Dempsey! Best regards, Mr Whoever from West Central Scotland, now living by the border

1st song I heard from him. Lovely tune how he sings it is amazing. Relate to lyrics real bad. Check out merry go round Rosco, just ruff acoustic but ideas there. This tune makes me want to write. Thanx 4 inspiration peace world x

a year later , perfect everytime ..

Most underrated Irish singer around these days

the most beautiful song in the world

Reminds me on my neighbourhood. Great song and artist.

Reminds me of growing up on Bunratty Road in the 70s .... The newly opened Northside shopping centre was our playground ...

They shut you down anyway . Ireland and the world and its children have never been under such attack . You might aswell speakn up . nothin to lose ! bless x

Brilliant Damien

I'm from St. Donagh's; we always thought the lads in Holywell were poshies lookin' down on us. This song illustrates something that I had to grow up and get away from Donaghmede/Kilbarrack to realise: everybody around us looked down on ALL of us(dmede/the donagh's/ k'barrack) and the only reason people from Donaghmede looked down on the Donagh's was because they were desperate to have someone to look down upon: People at the bottom always are.
