Goosebumps and tears at same time. Sad day. Rip one of the finest lyricists ever. ❤😢
I know right I just found out not even 5 min ago
❤❤
Shane is Eternal. 🌹
I was lucky enough to meet Shane after a gig in the 80's. He was off his face, as was I, so we cancelled each other out I guess. He gave me an acoustic guitar that I still have and play regularly. Thanks Shane!
That’s cool!
Unfortunately, people really only recognise genius when they have gone apart from those few that see it from the start. Thomas, Wilde, Joyce, Byron, MacGowan! I know for sure he’s sitting in their company right now having a grand old time
Do not go gentle into that good night
Dylan Thomas
And you didn’t Shane, rest in peace💚
@@headron66everyone knew HE was a living genius.
@@teaacustardcream2868 I did say that, but not everyone!
What drug had you taken and what about shane... Things are changing for the worse. R.I.P
one of the finest songs ever written
We cannot disagree with that, it is indeed "ONE of the finest..."
gets me every time. Just perfect.
No question about it.
An amazing song
I was on a massive session one time. We were drinking Alcohol like it was a Drought. This was played sixty times in sixteen hours on the Jukebox
“Sometimes crawling sometimes walking” gets me every time.
Cheers Shane
Shane saved Irish music, nobody holds a match to him in terms of song writing, he is the greatest ever
Hear hear!
Shane Macgowan is one of the great singers and lyricists.
+Jon Hill and still great, love this song.
Agree with all. An extraordinary talent.
Unquestionably
The guy was a genius, these lyrics and melody are some of the best ever
Shane McGowan's voice is the only one that sounds even better live. What's not to like? An absolute genius singer / songwriter. Absolutely Genius!!!
An amazing living legacy.A brilliant poet and a true genius.
This song melted my heart forever “a hungry sound came across the breeze so i gave the walls a talking”, im an alcoholic but every time i listen to the poogues i feel understood, shane for me is a fucking big guy his voice is perfect and such underrated! This song and the pogues really saved my life
Any good alcoholic knows about giving the walls a talking!
Good luck to you Rebecca.
My story exactly.
Love to you all from me
you're right. it's a beautiful line
The best songwriter of our generation by a mile
One of most soulful men on the planet.
Soul brothers for sure!
Mesmerizing. Hypnotizing. Pure brilliance. Timeless. Shane's polo and how he's absolutely dialed, lyric, delivery, living every word of his lyric. Spider having a draw on that cig. "... and the moon was gently laughing"
I'd pay ten thousands pounds to go back in time for a night and see this live
Thomas Fischer me too. Drunk on a busy Saturday night with your mates. Fuck
Saw them in the early days - they were awesome! Best damned hooley I ever went to!
yes, i'm not sure most of the fans there truly appreciate his greatness...
I’d pay 20 thousand, and then some 💪🏻
If only we could.
I just stumbled onto this band by accident. Wow now I've bought 3 of their Cds. Such beautiful lyrics .... what have I been missing
What a great song..........damn, what a great fucking song!
Oh yeah...its a good one!
Quinn McCully It's fantastic. Love t
'A Pair of Brown eyes'!! One of the best Anti war song's ever written!!! SHANE is a great poet. Get the book, 'A drink with Shane'!! I lent it to a taxi driver. He has passed it on. The book is recorded , Shane speaking, about his life... and his girlfriend , records most of his talk!!
Quinn McCully
Quinn McCully yea it could be one of my favorite songs of all time crazy to actually think there is one son that's the one he writes great songs he has no clue the misery will be when he's not writing music music now is meaningless I do love sweet thing van Morrison he started young also under 19
This has hit me like a ton of bricks. I never listen to the pogues now, or rarely, but Rum,Sodomy and the Lash and especially this song was ever present in my early 20’s. I’m full of sadness and nostalgia tonight. RIP Shane.
Same for me friend. I'm going through their entire back catalog for the first time in years, cheers and merry chr
One of the best songs ever written. The lyrics are extraordinary. Great storytelling throughout the song
God blessed my ears when I discovered the Pogues...
Absolute genius song, layered, beautiful, touching, funny, deals with several characters and visceral imagery. Say what you want about Shane but who the fuck nowadays 2013 can write a ballad like this?.
It's 2020 now. In your opinion, has pop music writing improved or not since the time of your comment here?
Dylan maybe but shane is a legend too x
Nobody I know says anything about Shane
There are a few who do it, not many were able to do so back in 85 either… for a recent musician who has written ballads with as beautiful writing go check out Elias Ronnenfelt’s stuff… the reason you still hear this now because it stood the test of time…
And mysterious. What’s it about really
I grew up in the town next to his. His memorial sits right outside my uncles house. One of the greatest songwriters of all time
Some of the best lyrics you will ever hear. Gets me every time.
Shane MacGowan a true old soul, somehow manage to keep the true lion's heart of the Irish past....Thank-you for the time machine experience.
r.i.p to his mammy who gave birth to a legend ❤❤❤
I thought of you, D, when I heard this song today, and nearly cried. May the immortal Shane MacGowan convince you that I'll never stop searching for your brown eyes.
“Shane always seems to be channelling something when he sings, some kind of energy that exists beyond himself. I saw him at a soundcheck at a festival in France, and he walked up to the mike and stood with his hands in his pockets and sang A Pair Of Brown Eyes, and for the few of us that were there time stood still. There was so much emotional power coming out of him, without him doing a fucking thing, that you had to question your ideas of divinity.” - Nick Cave
I hope you find her, mate!
Still one of my favourite songs.......and still love Shane McGowan.....
Shane is one of the best songwriters ever.
There are no words ! Just genius .sublime! One of the top 5 song writers of all time .fact.
This beautiful song is a fine example of just how capable a lyricist Shane really could be. Poignant and timeless, my all time favourite from The Pogues. Thanks for a great post.
I'm Irish and lived in Birmigham UK in the early 90s and these guys were gods
If they never had let Shane near a musical instrument, he'd be one of Ireland's great modern poets.
"Real, true, honest, poor mans music". What a wonderful and accurate comment....
music for the masses fe - poor mans = KICK UP THE ASS
RIP Shane. Your music lives on and on in my heart and soul.
A genius
Plus the ones doing the music are too
One of the best bands ever ❤
RIP Shane, see you!
It's sad to think there will never be another band like this ever again
Shane is the only famous rockstar who fame has had no effect on whatsoever. And all you fucks who poke fun at him will be the first to proclaim your love for him come the sad day when he leaves us. The man is a musical treasure. Long live Ireland.
"On a jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called Love". Johnny Cash I think had a hit with A Thing called Love, back in the early 70s...
Yep
@@josephhumbles140 Johnny Logan ; )
This music is wonderfully entertaining. We should never judge how others look, God made us and he is greatly pleased by his creation.
nice evening dear Roberta Kennedy
Roberta Kennedy lol god didnt make him drink and take drugs ..he made himself look like that.. but i still love his music
+John Cardi right...except for the "god" part and everything that came after it
Take yer god pish and shove it up your @R$€ ! Those of us with fully functioning brains ridicule the notion.
+John Cardi People number you among the ignorant with the same ease that you categorize them.
RIP Shane, thank you for all your fantastic music you gave us, you'll always be remembered❤
oh Shane is great! I'm 16 and I still love The Pogues 'till the end!😍
RIP Ripose Pace Shane for ever , sempre fieru , sempre ardente , from Corsica !!!!
this should be kept in a national archive...i love it.
me to and I am making a point of download it so I have my own archive!
Those words from a young fella poet 💚💚💚💚
RIP Shane..thanks for the beautiful music ..always thinking of you brother
This is one of my favorites because it demonstrates that absolute courage Shane had to play something so slow, articulate and poetic to a crowd of punks -- even the flute player is rolling his eyes -- but it's beautiful.
The best live version ever. Even Shane playing on guitar before he got lazy. brilliant.
Beautiful.
Different Level
Still enjoy this genius!😊❤🎉🎉❤😊
What a singer l,writer performer, poet. never judge what u see u have OTHER senseS. Listen LEGEND LIVING LEGEND..
This is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard
1985, a very good year
What a voice and even sounds better as time goes on brillant
Love this music. Love from Croatia!
There are no heros, just a few who are brave enough not to fill our hearts and ears with shit. Shane deserves credit for willing to let his songs do the talking.
Love how the tin whistler is clutching that smoke!
What a poet. Amazing song never gets old
A masterpiece. One of the 20th century's greatest, most soulful songwriters.
A word: Brilliant
I used to listen to this on my Walkman on the way home on the tube on summer evenings, drunk to hell.
Just brilliant
Shane you were the best lad, we'll miss you xxxx
brings me back. .1987
spider does the eyeroll. love this,
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan!
Genius
Brilliance, just brilliant
Masterpiece.
Very elegant, and we'll placed.
I was lucky to be in london 1985 aged 19 from st helens. Take a chance Pogues, irish nurses from whipps cross leytonstone
It's amazing how close Shane's singing is to the original recording.
Would've been a perfect live version if it weren't for that detuned tin whistle!
i love how exhausted they all seem, it really suits the song
One summer evening drunk to hell
I stood there nearly lifeless
An old man in the corner sang
Where the water lilies grow
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
About a thing called love
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
And how would you bloody know?
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
I lay down on the ground
And the arms and legs of other men
Were scattered all around
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
Then prayed and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
I looked at him he looked at me
All I could do was hate him
While Ray and Philomena sang
Of my elusive dream
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
That waited once for me
So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
For a pair of brown eyes
You've randomly posted, so shall I.
Red roses for me, is a steady stumble, a moment of "not only the tip".
A true sound.
Love and peace.
Legend. Shane McGowan will never be forgotten. Statue should be built of Shane in Dublin.
definitely, a statue would be the least we could do to onour Shane, a true genius,always missed. monica
Why Dublin?
He was born in Kent in England and raised in London but his family were from Nenagh in Tipperary where he lived for most of his older live if a statue of him should be built it should be in Nenagh in Tipperary
Irish american here, man Shane was the best. To my grandparents who made the trip from Ireland to the states, Evelyn and Allan. Every time I’m drunk I look up this song, Being Irish is a gift from god
Pure n utter genius. His like will never be seen again.
Authentic as it gets, a poetic genius in a sea of dross. He gave the world the brutal truth and the brief transcendent beauty of this crazy life.
Rip Shane and thank you.
TG4 shares some great irish music on twitter. This evening they shared Streets of Arklow by Van Morriston so I decided to look and see if it was on TH-cam. Sure enough the live performance they featured from 1974 is here. That reminded me of the time they shared this performance on twitter so I had to look for it when I was finished listening to Van. So here I am.
SHANE'S A GENIUS,A MODERN DAY HERO AND POET
soulful , all heart. thank-you Shane MacGowan.
I'm going Roving now....Nice one The Pogues
Beautifull god rest your eternal soul Shane my Bhoy
