I am hispanic(Mexico, Spain) on both sides, but when i hear Irish traditional music, my soul attunes with it, in a way i cant explain, i feel longing for something or somewhere else, and a "sweet" sadness, yet, a certain peace. I dont understand it but thats okay. I dont need to understand, just to live, and enjoy it. I was a celt in a previous life, i swear, and if not, god gave me the heart of one for some reason. Please ireland, persevere, for your people are a jewel in the crown of mankind. The beauty of your music speaks to the content of your hearts, and souls. Persevere, so our world can continue to endure what we must, with at least some measure of comfort, that your magical music provides. Long live the Irish people, to the end of the earth!
Maybe your roots are Galician,," the land of the witches" , and if so you have a deeper connection to us than most will ever have,, for the celts exist in 7 nations, and Galicia Spain embraces better than most.
Kavanagh was great at using ghosts in his poems. From "If Ever You Go to Dublin Town" (telling the reader about trying to find out about him in a hundred years): On Pembroke Road look out for me ghost, Disheveled with shoes untied, Playing through the railings with little children Whose children have long since died.
Joe you would be surprised how often the tears flow from my eyes every Saturday on my Show at the touching Irish Music It's amazing Eileen Cronin Up Cork
I'm from Newfoundland Canada... 56 years old... thanks to both of my parents, my first love of music was Irish and Celtic Music. I'm now living in Ontario and I'm homesick for Newfoundland... I'm constantly playing Irish music... there's something about it that really hits your heart ❤️
I know exactly what you mean. I really just discovered it about 5 years ago. For me, the songs really hit home because they are real. No glamour. No over the top poetry or prose. Just simple stories set to music that conveys the emotion of what is being felt. Have you ever heard of Derina Harvey Band? She has a fantastic voice and the energy of the band. I’m learning Northern lights.
You can take the man out of Ireland, but you'll never take Ireland out of the man (woman too naturally). Ireland will always be there to welcome you back - temporarily, or if you choose, permanently.
@CitizenIreland I just gave it a listen. Great music. I love the bodhran solo. Thanks for the referral. I really need to take out mine out and learn it.
73 years old and left Cork when i was 10, I am as Irish now as I was then and the music is a root that I don't want to lose, nor ever will. We were in Nova Scotia a few years back and the experience for myself and my wife, who is Scottish, was indescribable. There is a link that I will never lose but I find very hard to define.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a house full of Irish music, both my parents were Dubliners. We played Luke singing ‘ The Rocky Road to Dublin’ as my dad was carried out of the church. We took both their ashes back to Dublin and spread them on the beach at Portmarnock whet they had their first date ❤️☘️
THIS IS THE ONE!!! ..This rendition of Raglan Road has a slower tempo, which I believe the writer of this tune intended. ...This rendering of that song speaks deeply as it falls ever so gently on the love-strings of the heart. ...Wonderful!!! ...This is the one.
Very well said. A celebration of a deeply personal journey Patrick traversed, sharing poignant melancholy at once profoundly personal yet inescapably relatable. Gratitude to Luke for his humility in marrying this poetic brillance with his subtle legato engaging and inspiring those blessed to experience.
I Play this regularly on the pipes and people cry. I as an Irishman absolutely adore this poem. Luke we miss you big man. I work abroad now and travel back home twice a year. This song can literally crush your heart. The pain in this song is palpable.
Not in a previous life , in this life, you are a celt, the celts came from a valley in the czech rep many years ago, you are the same as me, we are both celts - Czech and Irish, best regards from Dublin
Doesn't matter were your from somewhere there's a bit of Irish in all of us except the English even I have friends that r from there they no my beliefs respect to everyone
I'm an Aussie woman with Irish roots on both sides of my family and I have a deep, abiding love for Irish music. It touches my soul like nothing else. Thank you for this utterly beautiful music.
One year later . Just go. I’m from there and living in Boston. It rejuvenates me every time I go. Drop everything, get the money, and go. It will change your whole attitude to the rest of your life. It’s worth every penny. Trust me!
I (English, living in France) was asked by a young lady if I could sing this for her. I had never heard the song before, but now I can't stop listening to it. So many versions from Luke Himself to Dick Gaughan, each with their own voice and timbre. I would not presume to say which is better than the others, but a month from now (the next open mic night) I shall sing it for her. I know I won't come close to the lyrical beauty of this, but when I sing I shall be proud to be a (so small, so fleeting) part of this community. God bless Ireland,
Cut it by half and she’ll love you. Go the full distance and you’ll send her to sleep for the rest of the night. Plus you’ll have to leave enough time for the other performers to squeeze a number in.
My Grandmother...bless her soul...Augustus o'Shea....gave me the love of Ireland...sadly I've never been there...lived in Capetown all my life....will catch up on the flipside !! ❤
My grandad was a good friend of Luke and I remember when I was about 9/10 years old my grandad showed my a old VHS tape of Luke singing and even then I knew was special,my dad then passed recently and this song always hits home hard and remember him well,us Irish are lucky to have such talent to remember our last bed ones,thank you.
My first reaction when I find someone has covered this song is maybe they should have left it alone .. but not this time .. this is truly beautiful, and a fitting tribute to Luke Kelly .. ❤
Agreed! I had the same eyebrow raised. I tend to be that way with anyone doing a cover, they really do need to bring a little bit of something extra…But maybe it took the two of them to match Luke’s soulfulness? But yes indeed I agree it’s a truly beautiful tribute.
I nearly cried when I heard that young fella sing, great to see young generation continuing on the purest Irish music I was born and brought up on xx 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
i am not an irish man. But being an boy, he taught me what music is all about. It is life we give to another. HE told me to sing, just be . So simple, and so dam difficult. Well , now he is in heaven, but i do think he has the been one of the greatest singers , an humorus , generous gentlemen, even not of noble birth.
Just seen the Dubliners story the music and cast were amazing being a Scotsman I’m glad the Irish are my close cousins long live the Irish ballad so beautiful to listen to along with my lovely Scottish ballads long live the ballads
BEAUTIFUL IN EVERY WAY, A CLASS SHOW ,, I HAD A DRINK WITH THEY DUBLINERS AFTER A CONCERT , I WAS STAYING IN THE SAME HOTEL THEY 5 OF THEM WERE THERE , A NIGHT I WILL NEVER FORGET
In 1978 my then boyfriend and I went fishing with Barney and spent the night drinking and singing with him, his brother and mates at the Lighthouse pub in Howth. He was such a lovely man.
My car broke down the day of this concert. We'd amazing seats. I've been to many many concerts and will be to many more but this stings every time I think about missing it. I love this man.
I remember going into The Boat Inn one night in Oughterard Co Galway after coming from a Saw Doctors concert in Galway. A young girl sang this song ,there was no one else there but her parents and my family ,no music either. she sang this song so beautifully. I never forgot it.
Irish folk music 🎼 is the most beautiful music known to man I’m Scottish with Irish blood as my great grandparents on my mothers side came over to Scotland so I have the best blood running through me Scottish and Irish dna 🇮🇪🏴💚
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this. In honor of Luke Kelly. I would not have believed that his memory would be alive like this. Thanks again everyone!
I've come back to this a good few times now. I love Luke's original but this is a beautiful version in its own right. A beautiful poem by Patrick Kavanagh given a new lease of life by some fantastic musicians and singers.
Found it: LUKE KELLY ON HIS 36TH ANNIVERSARY SONNET FOR LUKE (Poem by John Sheahan) A fiery halo crowns your lived-in face, You shine forth like a beacon from the throng, Among your fellow peers you set the pace, And soar above the crowd on wings of song. Committed to the cause of human rights, You hold aloft the flame of Amnesty, When striking workers seek you in their plight, You rally with your songs unstintingly. A minstrel boy, you charm your way through life, Enriching all who chance to pass your way, You shelter wayward spirits from the night, And raise them up on wings till dawn of day. Though links with us alas too soon are severed, Your spirit and your song will live forever.
Happy birthday John and thank you and all the deceased members of The Dubliners for all the joy you brought to people. This rendition was beautiful, very emotional. God Bless you John. Nr. Ireland.
What a great song and Declan did a fantastic tribute to Luke, Declan is a huge talent and fabulous musician, i have a couple of his albums and they're superb.
The Dublinners, Chieftains, Christy Moore, Shane McGowan and all our blessed musicians have portrayed our deepest joys and sorrows for many years and we love them so ❤ 🇮🇪
I'm so honoured to have met you and played with you in the old days John, my heart goes out to you all - esp. today after the passing of the great Paddy M ....
Such an awesome line-up of superb Irish singers, I love the emotion they each have poured into their part singing Raglan Road. Has to be my top favourite version!
I wanted to add you but sending you a friend request without your consent is inappropriate because I'm a public figure and it wouldn't take much either, I'd appreciate it if you send me a friend request now so we can be friends and text better here on TH-cam friend
Well, in 1968;I had the honour of playing with some of the boys, well let’s call It absolutely amazing if not extraordinary. I wonder if any of the can remember a part evening in Borris, John Powers will never taste as good again, nor will the thanks of the villagers Stephenxxxxx

well said my compadre!! I feel the same as an american with irish roots.
Massive respect for this comment. Every Irish person will agree too. Legend ❤
Wow! You make me feel proud Huskie!
Beautiful written!
67 and crying, calling for Catherine who is sadly on another shore. What a wonderful version this is.
On a quiet street where old ghosts meet, I see her walking by ! Love this line so much
It's memorable x
Kavanagh was great at using ghosts in his poems. From "If Ever You Go to Dublin Town" (telling the reader about trying to find out about him in a hundred years):
On Pembroke Road look out for me ghost,
Disheveled with shoes untied,
Playing through the railings with little children
Whose children have long since died.
Me too ❤
This is what the Irish do so well. Full of feeling. Proud to be the son of an Irish Mum and Dad
Joe you would be surprised how often the tears flow from my eyes every Saturday on my Show at the touching Irish Music It's amazing

Arguably the best song ever written about unrequited love .
Agreed!
There is no argument !!👍

Because originally Newfoundland was inhabited by Irish. There’s a strong chance you have that Irish blood 💪🏻🇮🇪
The Irish are a truly beautiful people, what a gift to the world.
Your in, with a name like Colin
@@pmck101 It would be an honour.
We're not all that, to be honest...!
The Irish suffered a lot.
Thank u
No other type of music in the world makes me feel the way Irish ballads make me feel, slainte ☘️
Me too. Just touches something deep in the soul like no other
I completely agree 💚☘️
You're right there ☘️
I would move to Ireland in a heartbeat to be able to hear these songs often!
Came here from the movie In Bruges...a special song made for and by special people...love from India
I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a house full of Irish music, both my parents were Dubliners. We played Luke singing ‘ The Rocky Road to Dublin’ as my dad was carried out of the church.

Luke is the one and only friend. He created magic with this song.
This is a good version but Lukes version is impeccable, no argument.
@@WiskyDuckabsolutely brilliant Analysis. Thank you. You just made me a tiny bit wiser!!!
Totally agree - this is just sublime !
You are so right! I`m here since three years now....every day. That´s pure human. What a song....
I Play this regularly on the pipes and people cry. I as an Irishman absolutely adore this poem. Luke we miss you big man. I work abroad now and travel back home twice a year. This song can literally crush your heart. The pain in this song is palpable.
It's probably the sound of the pipes making them cry 😅😅😅

What’s the difference between a dead deer and a piper? In front of the dead deer they found brake marks in the road 😅
I am a Czech but i must have been an Irish in my previous life
Why
Not in a previous life , in this life, you are a celt, the celts came from a valley in the czech rep many years ago, you are the same as me, we are both celts - Czech and Irish, best regards from Dublin

Check out Dan McCabe also a brilliant singer 👌👌👌
I long to go to Ireland and just sit and sing like this while having a drink… someday sooner than later…

Thank you Muck.

Is this where Appalachian music came from?
@@leahflower9924 not much southern Irish influence on Appalachian music, mainly lowland Scots through Northern Ireland and English

G'wan the ballads, and the fine bards that bellow,

@Reggaeman YO This concert was 2 years ago. Keep up.
@Reggaeman YO Fair comment so apologies for my flippant reply.
I've come back to this a good few times now. I love Luke's original but this is a beautiful version in its own right. A beautiful poem by Patrick Kavanagh given a new lease of life by some fantastic musicians and singers.
I think it's a universal song,most of us have experienced the things in that song.
it brings tears to my eyes. man... what a beautiful tribute to Luke.
Found it:
LUKE KELLY ON HIS 36TH ANNIVERSARY
SONNET FOR LUKE
(Poem by John Sheahan)
A fiery halo crowns your lived-in face,
You shine forth like a beacon from the throng,
Among your fellow peers you set the pace,
And soar above the crowd on wings of song.
Committed to the cause of human rights,
You hold aloft the flame of Amnesty,
When striking workers seek you in their plight,
You rally with your songs unstintingly.
A minstrel boy, you charm your way through life,
Enriching all who chance to pass your way,
You shelter wayward spirits from the night,
And raise them up on wings till dawn of day.
Though links with us alas too soon are severed,
Your spirit and your song will live forever.
Happy birthday John and thank you and all the deceased members of The Dubliners for all the joy you brought to people. This rendition was beautiful, very emotional. God Bless you John. Nr. Ireland.
What a great song and Declan did a fantastic tribute to Luke, Declan is a huge talent and fabulous musician, i have a couple of his albums and they're superb.
Please don't forget Glen, he inspired me as a young man with the frames! Proud to be irish when you hear these lads
beautiful song and singing brings back so many memories of family rip
The Dublinners, Chieftains, Christy Moore, Shane McGowan and all our blessed musicians have portrayed our deepest joys and sorrows for many years and we love them so ❤ 🇮🇪
Perfection enough to bring a tear to a grown mans eyes
Thanks you, Steve.
7:54 am I’m sitting with a beer and watery eyes
Thank you John,and your fellow Dubliners for the joy you have giving me,and still are giving me over the years.
Whatever country your heart belongs to, this should be the anthem of your soul. Luke you left an eternal legacy that shines forever.
I'm so honoured to have met you and played with you in the old days John, my heart goes out to you all - esp. today after the passing of the great Paddy M ....
Oh to be back there in those wonderful days
Yes indeed ...it was different ...or maybe we were !
Dubliners are unique ! Thank you John for those fantastic years.
FINE ... MEN SO IN TOUCH WITH MUSIC WORDS AND HISTORY
Such an awesome line-up of superb Irish singers, I love the emotion they each have poured into their part singing Raglan Road. Has to be my top favourite version!
Beautiful lovely tribute god bless you Luke Kelly
I saw The Dubliners in a pub in Tasmania in the mid '70s. Such timeless, beautiful music and thanks for all the good memories.
Wow, that's such a long way for them to travel! Could hardly be any further away!
Bet a wonderful night was had by all!
@@Lee-nh5bb Yes, really enjoyable thanks!
Hi Rob.. such a long time ago .. only shows the great family connection between us.. Jim Neill limerick
Tears in me eyes listening to that! I love luke Kelly!
Close your eyes. Turn up the volume. Float away.
Absolutely beautiful tribute to luke beautiful version ❤

To think this will be played long after we are all gone is a tribute to Luke and these boys
A love timeless love song for the ages
So wonderful to have you Irish in our European Union. You enrich us. You're our beating heart
Your kind words, humble us.
This voted most favourite Irish folk song and it's no wonder.
I love this song it touches your heart,in a most wonderful way I'm 74 and still makes you believe in love in the best way timeless.
Just absolutely perfect. Luke would be proud ❤🇮🇪
Goodness me. So beautifully played and sensitively sung. Absolutely wonderful and deeply moving. Thank you to all involved.
Thanks for listening
We were vey unlucky to lose a great singer and person at such a young age. I just love him and the Dubliners. Susie scotland
Straight to the heart strings, Fantastic song
It will touch your soul if you have one and if you haven’t one perhaps you’ll find it ♥️🖤
I saw John in Dublin at Tradfest. Gave him a shy Canadian smile and he nodded He is lovely

Listening to this you can just imagine Barney plucking away on his Banjo. Just so marvellous music.
Well, in 1968;I had the honour of playing with some of the boys, well let’s call It absolutely amazing if not extraordinary. I wonder if any of the can remember a part evening in Borris, John Powers will never taste as good again, nor will the thanks of the villagers

This music coming from God through your hearts to our souls. Nice & Hilarious. 🍀🍀🕊🕊🕊
Wonderful that Kavanagh asked Kelly to sing this lovely song.
lovely song ,lovely rendition .......only in Ireland is this possible ...........only because it is necessary
What great talents. Luke would be proud.
This reached my soul
