Shane has lived harder and faster than ten people put together. So forget the sermons on his drinking. He's pure genius and made his choices. God bless you Shane and may you live to be a 110!
Shane representing Pittsburgh, I have never heard of shane macgowan until his passing or the pouges, and I'd never thought I'd like all these pub songs.
I just heard the sad news. I was literally just telling my brother how I couldn't believe that man was still alive and then when I went to look up some songs to send my brother I learned the sad news. It took me by surprise and I honestly didn't expect to feel this way about it. But he's one of the most lovable people I've ever seen 🥺💔
Shane was quite simply Irelands finest songwriter to Quote the Boss , we will be listening to his songs on 100 years time, only now after he has gone do we really appreciate his genius, so glad I saw him play many times from the mid 80s to the Pouges last gig, his music will live forever, and as the sunset came to meet the evening on the hill , I told you I'd always love you, I always did , I always will , Rip Shane 🙏
I'm a Dylan and Leonard Cohen fan from Canada. Very late finding Shane. Oooooh, but what a find. Now I'm a big fan of Shane too. Awesome songwriter poet. Drunk or not loving his singing 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍Lone Wolf :)
@deadbutdreaming look at townes van zandt he was a drunk. Talented song writer. So you use of critical think is worthless lol. But the fact that alcoholism leads to higher depression and some fun emotions there is a lot to help with lyrics.
What’s the saying? “Better to burn out than fade away” that’s our Shane, his body may have given out but his soul/spirit and lust for life never will. Love you Shane and Victoria ❤
RIP to our own in Ireland 🇮🇪 shane mc gowan genuis poet unique never again we will see .please keep going pogues in shanes name and ur own .nick we know ur hurting in losing shane. The globe is hurting .God I miss u shane .u lived 100 lives in 1 but u lived ur life .never to explain why should u keep singing in heaven shane dance with kirsty mc coll and sinead o connor. The 3 of u will be laughing dancing. Shane we miss u
I just came to say what an incredible singer Shane is. Wherever he is,i like to think he has us in his heart,all bunched up and drunk, singing and bumping into each other.
The man is legend. Saw the Pogues at the Guinness Festival at Suffolk Downs years ago. Shane was a half hour late, he finally pulled up, got out of the car...following a few beer cans falling out to the ground. This was the last song of the night. The whole crowd was singing along, it was fkn epic!
@@patrickcallahan9599 Yeah I’m really sure that he does but like I said I just came across him and An for some reason this song was recommended to me as I was watching a Pittsburgh Penguins game and he’s wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey just a coincidence I guess but thanks for the information
Shane takes his place with Behan Shaw, O'Casey, Joyce, Yeats, Kavanagh and Beckett. Dispite all the mayhem look at the legacy he has left us, he's eaned his place right there with the best of them.
Still can’t believe he’s gone. Being Scottish living in London, Philippines and Japan his music and poetic words have always kept the nostalgia for my homeland intact. F*cking politicians who made sure there was nothing for young people except the road to London and beyond.
Have listened to Shane McGowan's songs and his bands music a long time, I can honestly say the man is a feckin genius who can write meaningful songs straight from the heart. Thanks for the pleasure keep em rolling.
Shane is my only guidance. I grew up with terrible people that I had to escape from at 21 I struggle with alcoholism and tried to get into treatment but they used my ptsd against me. Good news is I'm finally getting treatment at 27. Shane is a legend
Le sourire de Shane MacGowan à toujours fait partie de sa musique. On ne peut pasl'imaginer autrement. Le sourire de Shane nous dit tout. C'est sa signature. Il love you so.
Beautiful words. Bob Dylan recently played in 3 Arena in Dublin, he gave a special mention to one of his favourite songwriters, one Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan. Dylan requested the Pogues support him in the US in the 80's so it's legit.
Shane is a genius, a talent like his comes along once in a lifetime. He lives a hard life that perhaps contributes to his genius, all I know is when I hear Shane singing I am happy.
Shane can make you feel words he writes,he really knows how to convey his feelings,just a great talent,and a classic example of the blessing & the curse
The Pogues version of The Band Played Waltzing Matilda is proof positive of what you wrote. His voice in that song just conveys so much feeling. Makes a grown man cry if I am in just the right mood. Especially after several beer.
Amazing Shane! Will always be the best in my heart. Honesty raw Honesty 💯 love the man's talent. He's made it through some pretty hard times but always bounces back. I can't stand people who say anything bad regarding him. He's never hidden anything from people. We all love you so. Missing my homeland.
Nobody loves Shane more than i do, look again, his drink could be at other side of the bar, dont think he even realized what shirt he was even wearing in that video.lol
Agreed. Saw them at Suffolk Downs in East Boston, at the Guinness Festival back in '97. The Bostones, STP, Counting Crows. Shane showed up late...hammered of course. He still stole the show with this song!
As it's the time of year his most famous song is played I just wanted to say that this man is the most unique, brilliantly gifted songwriter ever. If you get it, you really get it.
RIP Shane MacGowan. ❤ You were gift to us all.
❤
😢
😢
I miss him so
Paix à son âme, from France ❤️😭
We lost this wonderful man today 😢 RIP Saint Shane Macgowan ☘️🇮🇪❤️🔥
Shane has lived harder and faster than ten people put together. So forget the sermons on his drinking. He's pure genius and made his choices. God bless you Shane and may you live to be a 110!
Quite correct and YES : may he live a long, long time !!! I absolutely love him. And his wife seems to support him well. All the best to them !
Fuckin amen, brother
@@prome9838 Thanks, Bro!
"I'm a big boy. I know what I'm doing." - Shane
Myself I am a fan of Shane Macgowan and I genuinely mean this I have love for him
Happy Heavenly 66th Birthday Shane MacGowan December 25 1957 - November 30 2023
One of the best songwriters to grace this planet 👌
A genius. A poet. A living legend. No matter what others say about him...
It hits hard that Shane is gone and the lonesome highway goes on but with his words
One of the most honest voices in music
Loved this song,...loved this album. Played it for months non stop when it came out. RIP YOU LEGEND ♥️🇮🇪♥️
Yes his last moment of recording greatness. A monumental, once in an epoch talent.
Shane representing Pittsburgh, I have never heard of shane macgowan until his passing or the pouges, and I'd never thought I'd like all these pub songs.
Rest in Power Shane. Thanks for everything, legend!
Rest in Power, Shane. Thank you for touching our souls.
Love you brother ❤ 😢 the most sincere singer that ever put a foot on this planet. ❤😢
Always loved his unique voice and style. May God bless this genius.

Goodbye great musician. R.I.P. I will miss you from Portugal.

If a raging toothless alcoholic was Ireland’s best you need to raise your standards.
@@phuntimez Who would you prefer? Kurt Cobain? Amy Winehouse? Jimmy Hendrix? Brian Jones? Janis Joplin?
What did you write?@@phuntimez
@@phuntimezwhere is your heart. Did this man hurt you? Look inside yourself.
@@phuntimezwhy are you even listening when you are so full of vitriol
Heartbroken again, listening to this tonight. Irish Rover.
I am devastated, rest in power, Shane.
Above the clouds singing with Kirsty & Sinéad now.
Forever Rest In Peace.
I'm a Dylan and Leonard Cohen fan from Canada. Very late finding Shane. Oooooh, but what a find. Now I'm a big fan of Shane too. Awesome songwriter poet. Drunk or not loving his singing 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍Lone Wolf :)
Wish you could have experienced today’s mass/ concert it was incredible , a beautiful Irish wake 💚
I really never heard so much of his music but I am now discovering how great it was . Thanks for the music. May you rest peacefully.
Thank you Shane❤
Shane, pre Nottingham Rock City gigs will never be the same now without you, you poet, you genuine human being, Cheers son. xxxxxx
The song that got me to love Shane . At the time it was as if he was singing about my life . God Bless your soul Shane 🙏 ❤️
Been singing this all day. Thanks for all the great life affirming songs celebrating love, drink and the mayhem of life. 🍸🥃🍷🍺🍾🥂🙏👍😊☮️
Rest in peace Shane MacGowan. And thanks.
I so wish Shane that you would have gotten all the attention that you truly deserve .. I love you, Shane. FLY HIGH Bud.
Rest in peace, hero of my youth. Thanks for everything, forever in my heart.
Shane mac Gowan is in my opinion one of the best songwriters ever!!!
What is automatic writing?
agreed. the man is a legend.
Marjolein Klopmeyerll : Really putting your balls on the line there.
@deadbutdreaming look at townes van zandt he was a drunk. Talented song writer. So you use of critical think is worthless lol. But the fact that alcoholism leads to higher depression and some fun emotions there is a lot to help with lyrics.
@deadbutdreaming automatic writing?? Please do tell....
What’s the saying? “Better to burn out than fade away” that’s our Shane, his body may have given out but his soul/spirit and lust for life never will.
Love you Shane and Victoria ❤
I don't Know in which universe , i was living before i meet this man's music.
So many diamonds in his soul.
Love this song! We miss you brother RIP
That Penguins jersey is awesome, go on Shane
Put him on that line with Jagr and Lemieux and I bet he would’ve scored 50
Shane was that shot in the arm that the Irish needed back in the seventies when the singing amongst them slowed down.
Fly high you beauty -thanks for all of it
Absolutely gutted at the loss of such a legendary songwriter and genuine soul. RIP, Shane.
Love the Popes as much as the Pogues. Shane is one of a kind - they do him justice. Excellent band.
Legend who I love now and forever. Shane stirred my heart and soul. I love you so much RIP Genius. Miss you enormously. 💚🎶
These songs, Pogues, Popes or the man on his own, help people celebrate, grieve and/or just live a bit more of an enlightened life. Genius.
A bright shining light for Eire!☘️☘️☘️
This is such a beautiful song. Rest in eternal power,Shane and thanks for the memories.
Los corazones rotos, están hoy más destrozados, los bebedores solitarios, bebemos hoy más solos, gracias Shane, y buena singladura amigo .
Shane is absolutely 100% himself... That's what makes him so rare and unique.
Shane he IS the super man. I'am french my name IS David. Don''t give UP . The word : courage, and courage in Irish rover
J'arrête de boire, je commence demain 😢
Totally agree 💙💙💙💙

Like all us Irish we keep everything behind them!
Beautiful song from a true legend, RIP Shane!
I am amazed this guy is still alive. Love you Shane
I believe his grandmother lived 'til over 100 in Tipperary. He's an extraordinary man.
you jinxed him, you bastard!
Well ....cheers🍻
If anybody has lost someone dear to them this song is for you
Irish folk would not be the same without Shane, may he live a long and fruitful life!
Absolutely.
Absolutely!
Yes they would
Perfectly stated sir..
Shane is not Irish he was born in Kent
Viva Shane 👍God bless you 🍺🇧🇷
A poet, a struggle of Irish modern people and most importantly a sound guy, Shane McGowan.
He has had more combacks than a Boomerang
Say what you want, Shane was and still is a music genius.
The man is legend. Saw the Pogues at the Guinness Festival at Suffolk Downs years ago. Shane was a half hour late, he finally pulled up, got out of the car...following a few beer cans falling out to the ground. This was the last song of the night. The whole crowd was singing along, it was fkn epic!
Lol, that's f#¢kin beautiful, man. Glad you got to be there 🇮🇪
I travel a Long Lonesome Highway myself. However, not so lonesome as I listen to Shane
Shane sporting that Pittsburgh Penguins jersey is AWESOME, man knows good music, good drink, and good hockey!!
Love Shane classic!!
Great team Mr. T, great city and great song
He loves America - I want to go to Pittsburgh
The Steel City

Im hungover just by seeing Shane

Just heard Shane an the pogues a few weeks ago for the first time.. crazy I get this as a recommendation an he’s wearing my home town hockey jersey...
Hey Joe this guy has a lot more great songs than hockey jerseys
@@patrickcallahan9599 Yeah I’m really sure that he does but like I said I just came across him and An for some reason this song was recommended to me as I was watching a Pittsburgh Penguins game and he’s wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins jersey just a coincidence I guess but thanks for the information
@@joemccarthy552 welcome :)
Einer der Besten! Für immer…
Greatest song writer alive
Yes!!
This man was nothing short of a music genius,his words say it all.
Shane takes his place with Behan Shaw, O'Casey, Joyce, Yeats, Kavanagh and Beckett. Dispite all the mayhem look at the legacy he has left us, he's eaned his place right there with the best of them.
what a great song-writer
The man can write a song thats for sure..
Shane has gave me the abaliity to live 30 years longer than i should have !

My lost brother from Scotland,love you and miss you
Poor old lonesome Shane. You were truly loved and adored
I love that his eyes are shut closed drunk and nodding out a d still hes kept traditional Irish music alive
Still can’t believe he’s gone. Being Scottish living in London, Philippines and Japan his music and poetic words have always kept the nostalgia for my homeland intact. F*cking politicians who made sure there was nothing for young people except the road to London and beyond.
Обожаю его!
Я из России ..
У музыки нет границ .. ❤
I've always loved this song and video except for the Penguins' jersey. Signed, a Capitals fan. Peace, Shane. You've been a major part of my life.
Have listened to Shane McGowan's songs and his bands music a long time, I can honestly say the man is a feckin genius who can write meaningful songs straight from the heart. Thanks for the pleasure keep em rolling.
Shane a gift from God we should all appreciate him while we can long live shane
Shane is my only guidance. I grew up with terrible people that I had to escape from at 21

Beautiful words. Bob Dylan recently played in 3 Arena in Dublin, he gave a special mention to one of his favourite songwriters, one Shane Patrick Lysaght MacGowan. Dylan requested the Pogues support him in the US in the 80's so it's legit.
You will never see another man like him again not now in these days
true!
Shane was beautifully ugly but his songs were beautifully beautiful.

There's a reason why the lead singing to possibly the greatest rock band ever....says Shane's the man. It's because he is!
Is that Joe Strummer?

First and last time you'll see shane sitting in a bar without a drink....
He was in front of the tap, no glass was needed.
Nobody loves Shane more than i do, look again, his drink could be at other side of the bar, dont think he even realized what shirt he was even wearing in that video.lol
Happy 60 Mr. MacGowan ! And for a lot more, your songs made the world a better place
Amazing he's made it to 60! A lion of a man!
❤
I would give everything to see the Pogues live again!
With Shane
Agreed. Saw them at Suffolk Downs in East Boston, at the Guinness Festival back in '97. The Bostones, STP, Counting Crows. Shane showed up late...hammered of course. He still stole the show with this song!
I saw them a few years ago in Leipzig in Germany. It was an amazing Concert!
As it's the time of year his most famous song is played I just wanted to say that this man is the most unique, brilliantly gifted songwriter ever. If you get it, you really get it.
I know a bit about fairy tales and NYC!
Whatever, I still love his voice and his music.
Shane a pure innocent gentleman, met him at the elk...
Uno dei poeti migliori della storia!
I could have this on a ten hour loop, great tune to get lost in drunken thought
