I was driving from Dublin to Galway just now listening to talk radio and decided to stick this on and turn it up to max, the journey home had a different vibe lol
Wow just dane and feel alive as with thee original what a piece of music to bring you to the floor either at home at a concert or on a dance floor truly amazing.
Been in bands and won many majors over nearly 30 years now…I can tell you folks, that is as good as it gets, WOW….tempo, sound, ensemble, musicality, the attack, the transition out of the slow air….right down to the get out at the end, followed by a rough four from the drum corps for good measure….unbelievable, take a bow Stuart and Stephen, congratulations to all 👏🏼👏🏼
I am a huge fan of Amy's songs, can listen to all of her songs without skipping, unlike some other artists, where I have 1-2 selected songs only that I can bear - but this here is a masterwork. Well played (literally!).
Such a humble instrument yet so powerful in the right circumstances, was in an Irish bar in benidorm years ago and one of the band members used about 6 different whistles (not at once obviously) but would change periodically throughout the tunes being played sometimes utilitizing 2 or 3 whistles in a single tune , class , place was jumping every night.
Best version of this song I’ve heard! I have Irish background and when in Ireland this year (for the first time), I felt so connected! Walked around Belfast and it felt like home! 💚Awesome band!
@katmandu2009... this is a scottish sang written by amy macdonald when she was 16. the irish bands/singers cover a multitude o scottish sangs.auld and modern..
@@studslannigan6286 never listened to it much...don't like the drunken style o singing. heard enough o that when a was a youngster at hoose pirtys. a like kirsty mccoll part . a don't think anybody can rival amys sangs, after all....she writes and sings her own sangs. a very talented woman.she's got a 138million hits on this sang alone.
I can't stop listening to this! It remind me of my Dad (who passed away last summer) & we're a very Irish family.
What county I’m donegal
I’m Dublin 💯
You'll never beat the Irish 🇮🇪
And me god bless ye
Im donegal
😊😊
Unreal tune Fair plays boys looking like the good tunes beats the old Spirit OF Freedom Band brings back memories from 1999-2006
Oh, the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people, they were dancing
To the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs get louder each one better than before
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til 4
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go, where you gonna go, where you gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs thinking this is the life
