One of the very few songs that can make you cry and dance with joy at the same time....RIP Shane, you haven't died you have simply become music and poetry for eternity 🕶️☘️🇮🇪✝️🇬🇧🍻🍷🥃
@@peterhamilton6464 real men cry. Its not hard to make me cry. Happy vids when a dad comes back from666 war i cry, sad videos also make me cry. Im just a sensitive man. Good songs also make me cry. Check out a phish song called "backwards down the number line" that song always gets me.
Losing shane sucked. 10 years ago i had tickets to a festival and the pougues were on the list of bands, but the fest didnt sell enough tix so it was cancled. Broke my heart. Like 25 years ago i saw a documentry about shane called " if i fall from grace of god" i had never heard of him. I fell in love with that goof that night. Such great songs. Never another shane.
I am a 51 year old woman and miss him more every day, though I never really followed his work. But it is infectious how wonderful he is with people, and singing, Shame that he has not been nicer to himself.
Hard to believe that he lived for 18 years after this, really sad to lose Sinead and Shane in the same year, there are lots of talented artists/musicians, but both of them had immense talent but neither became pawns of the music moguls.
I never felt one way or another about Katy Melua... but THIS makes me back her.. The way she carried it, because his voice had gone but also steadying him; when dancing. What an absolute cutie!! I know she can play 5+ instruments and loves all pillars of music.. but WOW.. She is an understated cool girl xxx
He sounded absolutely hammered with the first few words, but I persevered and continued to the end. I myself am also drunk, so I have no place to judge, nor would I anyway.
The part where they dance is so sweet. This song never fails to bring me a smile and tears, and definitely a million times more this year. R.I.P. Shane, and thank you.
Gleichzeitig so wunderschön und doch so traurig, ähnlich dem Weihnachtsmärchen um das Zündholzmädchen, was beim Entzünden seines letzten Wunderkerzenhölzchen, mit einem letzten bittersüßen Traum rund um ihre verlorene Familie, im grausam kalten Schnee erfiert!
This has always been one of the very few songs that i can cope with constantly hearing in the lead up to crimbo and it will always be my favourite because ill never get tired of hearing it. If there actually is an up there hopefully he'll join up wih Dolores and Sinead and carry on the party.
He was a Angel in disguise for us all ...he embedded something in our hearts and souls that will never leave us am happy I was on this beautiful planet in the same time line as Shane and Kirsty...R.I.P Angels 😢
Im sure that the lady singing with him is fully aware of the honor she is getting there, singing this song with HIM. But even though she was nervous as heck, she did great... And Shane, take care, you will be remembered and your music will stay
Katy melua was the only singer on stage along with the fab band, Shane can’t sing in tune however much money he is given, lol. It was an honour for him not her!?
@@TimOrton-z9n My point wasnt about the quality of their performance, Im pretty sure I could do better than Shane at that point in time. I was thinking about how she would do, if at all, in 30 years and about 3000 litres of whisky later...
was very young in 85 when we heard about a certain group called -the Pogges-and its Maestro Mac Gohan and since then we haven't stopped listening to it.and we always will.thanks for having exists, your music will remain in history until the end of days
ch glaube fest daran, dass Shane vollkommen davon überzeugt war, Frauen (oder Menschen überhaupt) ein besseres Leben bieten zu können, wenn die 'scheiß' Gegebenheiten ihn bloß lassen würden. ❤ Und als die Chancen wesentlich besser standen, hatte er offensichtlich so viel mit sich selbst zu tun, dass er die eigentliche große Aufgabe nicht mehr schaffen konnte. "So could anyone?" Ich bin nach wie sehr traurig, dass ein so feiner Mensch uns verlassen hat. 😢
He was a genius and had more than earned the right to slur his way through the song however he pleased :) People may mock or criticise, but they should think "have I produced a work of art on par with this song?" :)
This great man will live forever in spirit certainly the xmas spirit -imagine how many houses worldwide will dance to this every year. What a legacy . RIP Shaun. 4:35
Reminiscent of my Youth in Yorkshire which I Proudly enjoyed singing with, coming from a celtic place myself felt deeply the rythm & sound, what a proud, it sill gives goosepimples, but sadly this time, RIP, never forgotten, Kenavo
Una lacrima per questo grande autore della musica possa trovare la gioia di vivere una seconda vita in paradiso allo stesso modo che ha vissuto sulla terra
On te pleure Shane mais on suit ton précieux conseil que tu nous a laissé pour atténuer notre chagrin qui est de boire de bonnes pintes de ce délicieux breuvage et de suite cela IRA mieux Rest In Peace
She seems to be afraid she will not be able to keep the rhythm. Eats last sounds. She does manage to stay with him while they dance. :) He, on the other hand, belts the song in the manner expected of him. It's his baby, after all - and a miracle at that! Had he lived his life like any regular Joe, could he have come up with another song of this magnitude? We will never know now...
censorship is at an all-time high, I can see why you would want to pass. I cried for the change in Irish society where they value, "people's feelings" over their history. Life and grit! I can still feel in my body, through this song.. My great Aunt emigrated in the fammine to America... Thanks for this amazing piece of work!! Rest in peace Shane, may you live on in our hearts, and in our homes as we sing silently
