Christy Moore, the only musician who never fails to make me shed a tear. Voice of an angel that keeps me company even as an Irish girl over in England.
Love this version. What a tough year it’s been and this just makes you feel how lucky you are. RIP everyone that has been a victim to this pandemic. Hopefully 2021 is a better year for all
Beautiful 💯, oh I miss my own, Family 👪 love ❤️ all. This is the seventh time listening to an, BRILLIANT and Wonderful version God bless Christy Moore ❤😮
I've not an Irish bone in me. But I love Christy Moore. Saw him years ago in the Albert Hall. Hairs on the back of the neck. His Isle of Man song I play every time I go to the Island.
Go Christy you legend! Shine on! How can three minutes draw tears and make you laugh AND cry at the end. Beautiful how he loves and supports Shane MacGowan.
What a great song! Thank to Christy you for singing Shane's lyrics with with the passion and feeling like no one else could. Ah, but this song breaks my heart after all these years of dreading Christmas. For that matter the whole holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years day is something I survive and (forgive me Lord) sometimes wish I didn't.
The melancholy, the dashing of hopes, the malignancy of selfishness in addiction, this song is brilliant. So evocative, brimmed with sadness, moves me everytime
His voice runs through my soul and soothes me.....Christmas symbolises an awful lot to many people who are reminded of their losses and of course be grateful for what they have.....it's a hard time for many...bitter sweet time for me...
hey l am australia l love this man..how can you not love the emotion in this song, god l love ya christy moore have seen in you in melbourne, my grand father nathaniel magee would have loved hearing u...god bless u all..
I must have been asleep at the base of a tree for a couple of decades...I awoke today to find Christy Moore's music. I've always wondered why Irish music and intrumentation gave me gooosebumps. There's something in my DNA I suspect. Christy Moore reminds me of what Studs Terkel would sound like if he had been a musician rather than a writer. My favorite version of an R.E.M song was performed by The Corrs, an Irish Band. Christy Moore can almost explain the meaning of life itself in his lyrics and voice. (Just by accident I live in a little community called "Moore" way down south.)
Beautiful....the fact there such good friends makes it even more special. A fantastic song written and performed by fantastic artists. Wishing each and everyone of you all the best this Christmas and may 2023 be kinder to us all x
I love this version. When I heard christy Moore sing this live I thought it couldn't work (being sung by Kirsty and shane). Oh how wrong could I be. And as with every christy Moore song....He keeps you hanging on every word, a great man.
I lost my farther 4 years ago. He always played this song during Christmas and it bring back tears but some amazing memories. Thankyou Christy god bless you
Shameful that Im from Newbridge myself and I've only ever seen Christy live just once! It was one of the best nights I've ever had and it was great to see that kids of all ages were in attendance to see such a great man. I remember getting a photo with him after and realising I was actually standing right beside the man himself and it remains one of my proudest moments in life to date
Fantastic Cristy is pure genius thank you for posting the brilliant man I am an Aussie who adores this bloke ,haven’t heard for some 10 years love it Cheers
God bless you Shane,some people are born too beautiful for this World of ours and you are one of them, I love you too baby.Thank God Christie can interpret for us!
fuck me my mum died to cancer in december 2012 christmas was her favourite time of the year and this interpratation has hit me in the feels love you mum x
It's that time of year again when it feels like I listen to almost each and every version of this AMAZING song out there... Christy's is certainly my favorite cover!
I had a good friend from Dublin (James Gallagher) gave me a cassette with Christy Moore songs in 1997. This song was on it. I was hooked. I’ve been a huge fan ever since! Greetings from Ocean City, Maryland, USA
My first visit back to Derry after over 10 years (the first time) and my mother played this song for me. The effect was simply life changing. Every christmas is not the same unless we get this as part of our festivities
I'm playing this myself around local open mics. I clicked this to see what other musicians did with it. I can't play it this well, but it is nonetheless most helpful and of course totally brilliant !
One of the greatest Irish singers sings the most beautiful christmas song... God bless Shane....let's hope he will be with us for a couple of more decades
RIP to the troubled genius Shane McGowan. What a song writer.

Thank you for giving tribute to Shane.
Yeah mate....beautiful troubled genius.
There is NOTHING I would not love to hear Christy Moore sing. God gave him a gift for sure!
Christy can cover anything he damn well chooses, the man is a Irish National Treasure, hell he's a World Treasure!
This needs more Thumbs up!! To the top with this comment!!

Great words
Beautiful 💯, oh I miss my own, Family 👪 love ❤️ all. This is the seventh time listening to an, BRILLIANT and Wonderful version God bless Christy Moore ❤😮
A truly beautiful song💖. Christy from the heart.🏴🦄🇨🇮
I come to this every Xmas Eve.
Only heard Christie singing this track a couple of nights ago on ICMR and liked it. Hence why I'm listening now on TH-cam 🤠
You know it's nearly Christmas when you're YouTubing Christy Moore's fairytale of New York. Happy Christmas!
Here we go ahead...
Lol no one commented for a yeah !
Your right :) jul tomorrrow and Christmas in 2 days :p
Happy Christmas from the future
Had to hear it again after as well
Man its the middle of summer right now. Im just lushed
One voice, one guitar. love it.
He gives it his all always. Super cool man with a voice that's a national treasure. Well done 👏
From the heart ❤️
I return to this song every December. It’s a personal tradition.
Christy...my God....I have never heard a better version ion my life. What a brilliant tribute!
Bon Jovi does a decent cover too.
I listen to this song once a year and its magical
I've not an Irish bone in me. But I love Christy Moore. Saw him years ago in the Albert Hall. Hairs on the back of the neck. His Isle of Man song I play every time I go to the Island.
U looking to bone Milly? 🍺🤔
Go Christy you legend! Shine on! How can three minutes draw tears and make you laugh AND cry at the end. Beautiful how he loves and supports Shane MacGowan.
The strong Irish accent with this song is quality
Mike Ross take Irish accent out of this song is tasteless
K-smi Sabu I'd agree with that 🇮🇪❤
Mike Ross well the original singer has no teeth what do u expect!?!?
I saw him in concert up in Nottingham decades ago and he performed this...I never forgot how great that; and he; was❤
What a great song! Thank to Christy you for singing Shane's lyrics with with the passion and feeling like no one else could. Ah, but this song breaks my heart after all these years of dreading Christmas. For that matter the whole holiday season from Thanksgiving to New Years day is something I survive and (forgive me Lord) sometimes wish I didn't.
Wonder how he's/she's doing now
A truthful man, you
He ain't no he/she.
In my opinion this is the best version of this song, Christy shows the passion this song deserves!
yeah its quite brilliant but I'm finding it a bit hard to move away from where it started
Ditto ❤🎉😢
Pogues by far superior
Watching and listening with tear in my eye. Working away from home until the 22nd Dec. Can't wait to go home to see family
Christy......simply the best there is that's still doing it. God bless ya Christy.
A genuine national treasure. Love this man. Hairs on back of neck throughout but especially from 3.56 - 4.16 … the icing on the cake
Captivating, stirring and unnerving. A masterpiece
Gosh I love his voice. Haven't listened to him in years and he's still just as pure and strong. Gorgeous.
christy is still alive
This song always make me cry. Best performance ever.
How blessed we are to have the technology to share this forever!
well said really well said it has its downs but it also has its ups and this is one up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best covers I have ever heard!
The melancholy, the dashing of hopes, the malignancy of selfishness in addiction, this song is brilliant. So evocative, brimmed with sadness, moves me everytime

This was absolutely f**king incredible. It's the first version of this song I've ever heard that doesn't make me miss Kirsty McColl.
His voice runs through my soul and soothes me.....Christmas symbolises an awful lot to many people who are reminded of their losses and of course be grateful for what they have.....it's a hard time for many...bitter sweet time for me...
hey l am australia l love this man..how can you not love the emotion in this song, god l love ya christy moore have seen in you in melbourne, my grand father nathaniel magee would have loved hearing u...god bless u all..
Incredible storytelling and incredible music. Christy's version always brings a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.
Christy Moore is one of a kind -- no one sings with the emotion that he does; I love him.
Put this version on Spotify ffs
It is
Up the reds

I'd just been listening to some Glen Hansard and this performance popped into my head. It's September and I hate Christmas, that's how good this is.
Wow - first time I've heard this version. Unbelievably good.
Can’t say how many times I’ve listened too this in a week😱
Every year I come back here and its still the best version of this song outside of the original. Even more toyching this year!
What a voice and Irish of course
Wow. Best solo of my favorite song I have heard. Just amazing.
you know it's nearly Christmas when you"re YouTubing Christy Moore's fairytale of New York. Happy Christmas!
Absolutely amazing - shivers!
December 2019 this is still REAL. GOD BLESS YOU. 💚
