Ceolann Ryan McMullan ó Phort an Pheire a leagan féin de 'Streets of New York' ar 'I Lár an Aonaigh'. Ryan McMullan sings his version of 'Streets of New York' on 'I Lár an Aonaigh'.
Powerful performance. Just listened to this with my father and saw the emotion in his eyes. He's lived a much better life in America than he ever would have if stayed in Turf Lodge during the Troubles, but I can feel the pain of leaving his family and country even if he will never say it. Amazing job lad! ☘️
I've listened to many versions of this song. Young man is great but he hasn't seen what paddy Luke and the rest of the dubliners saw. He is quoting real mail. But he was 30 years late.
Great to see the next generation keeping this songs not just alive but singing it with so pure and soulfully god bless yeah young man. That kind of performance travels very easy 👍
I cant beleive this is the first time hearing this. Ryan your voice cut rite to my soul. My gran came to the us in 1926. You brought a tear to my eye. Cheers from Boston .....!!!!!!!!!
He really reminds me of an Irish bruce or ryan adams in that he doesn't have to scream to tell the story..the control is second to none. It's an underrated talent.👏👏
@@jppmccrea What are you talking about John? What does any politician got to do with any of this? Let me guess..a bored lonely old man desperate for a little bit of human interaction, so he tries to aggravate strangers on the internet..well, jog on John these are rhetorical questions you just continue to impregnate your sisters sock collection and keep your beak outta others business,or if not at least try make sense when tryina insult people for no reason whilst making no sense. Cheerio gobshite.
so i came across this song like two days ago i think i've listened to it about 60 times! the story this song tells is so heartbreaking! his voice just makes the whole think breath taking! What a talented young man!!
I’ve travelled a lot and left Ireland for a year but never really out of necessity not financial need anyway. But this song cuts me . Heartfelt songs have always cut me it’s an art form which has always touched me.
Mine too! It’s the only version I like of it. Ryan performs it beautifully, it’s just perfectly understated. I’ve seen him perform it live a few times and it’s always such a joy to hear and never fails to give me goosebumps.
Normally I'd say with a classic like this to leave well alone. But this cover is what made me change my mind. Well done Ryan! Above and beyond! High expectations for you! Best of luck with your bright future! I'll be attending a show for sure. 😁
I grew up on irish music. This is a wonderful and almost perfect rendition of this song. My 80yo da says so and he heard the original from Ireland, the fkn dubliners ffs but I love this one
Just came here after listening to Ryan sing this song in Melbourne. Covered it well just like in this video. Never heard this song before, and I won’t forget it.
I hope the singer sees this, I rate his his version of this song up there with the very best. Don McLean - Vincent, Beatles etc. There aren’t many renditions of songs that you believe everything the performer says. You son, have a unique, god given talent

Fantastic version love this song you made it your on just watched your documentary here in Belfast tonight on bbc2 loved it fair play to you hope to get to see you at one of your Gigs in our beautiful Belfast 💚🇮🇪
This song proves one thing for certain, you can take us out of Ireland, but you can't take Ireland out of us, this song would make you long for home even if you're already in Ireland.

As an Irish man who left my home land 3 years ago to move here to America..this song really does mean alot to me 🇮🇪 I miss my home land !!
💚🤍💛💯💯
Stay safe brother 🇮🇪
Im an Irish bloke who no longer lives at home as well. It means a lot to me too. Always hits me right in the gut but in a comforting way
@@cclar051 you too my friend!
@@NC-ck5oj yes I feel the same! I will always miss home.
I live in uk and brings tears to my eyes every time .. Doesn't matter the distance..your heart is always irish and thinking of home 🍀🍀🍀🍀💚💚💚
Powerful performance. Just listened to this with my father and saw the emotion in his eyes. He's lived a much better life in America than he ever would have if stayed in Turf Lodge during the Troubles, but I can feel the pain of leaving his family and country even if he will never say it.

It's sad how our music is the most beautiful in the world alongside classical yet most "irish" folk these days just listen to pure garbage
@@jameshamilton7562 the Glens of Antrim keeps our music alive and well young and old 🇮🇪
I miss Ireland so much after 9 years of being in America and especially after me grandpa died in 2021🇮🇪
I cant beleive this is the first time hearing this. Ryan your voice cut rite to my soul. My gran came to the us in 1926. You brought a tear to my eye. Cheers from Boston .....!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Boston Rose by wolf tones

Thanks Colm i will. Merry Christmas from Boston.....
Jim you can take a girl outta ireland but you'll never take ireland outta the girl .
This song never meant anything to me until I heard this version. Absolutely outstanding
My heart and prayers are with all Irish people trying to settle in America God bless and keep the faith
Ryan you don’t realise how talented you are kid...Breathtakingly Brilliant.. ☘️🇮🇪
He really reminds me of an Irish bruce or ryan adams in that he doesn't have to scream to tell the story..the control is second to none. It's an underrated talent.👏👏
He`s incredibly talented. Could listen to him all day.

Powerful, One of My favourite songs, As I went to work in the States aged 18, You sing this Brilliant kid, Good Luck.
Perfect example of story telling through a song, and of a cover being better than the original. Amazing performance
This version would bring tears to a glass eye, Bravo Ryan.
That's the best version i have heard, would bring a tear to a glass eye

Normally I'd say with a classic like this to leave well alone.
But this cover is what made me change my mind. Well done Ryan! Above and beyond! High expectations for you! Best of luck with your bright future! I'll be attending a show for sure. 😁
Its an excellent modern take on a classic without affecting the impact. Top class

Melted me 😍 love this! REAL music 🎶

So beautiful but sad at the same time. Such a talented young man.
Breathtaking version.
Beautiful
I LOVE how this version integrates a gap to GO MAD CHEERING when he sings. " Never forget to be a proud Irish man!"
I grew up on irish music. This is a wonderful and almost perfect rendition of this song. My 80yo da says so and he heard the original from Ireland, the fkn dubliners ffs but I love this one
Eire Abu to your wee Daddy x
Class 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Lovely tune. Great performance, brother. Much love.
Beautiful ❤
stunning version
its an ageless song,and thanks to this superb version loads more people can fall in love with it.great job Ryan
Honestly the best version of this song ever - better than the original
What a touching, warm and melancholic song, Ryan's incredible voice - a perfect performance.
This song holds depth no one expects. Irish were good enough to be police but not for neighbors
This song tells our Irish story and the American connections as I think of relatives there including a daughter and grandchildren
Samuel McCormick we do the same here. A great tragedy has spread us around the globe but we’ll always be connected.
Just came here after listening to Ryan sing this song in Melbourne. Covered it well just like in this video. Never heard this song before, and I won’t forget it.

Simply and truley stunning! Such a talent 👌
Unbelievable voice and playing! Love this song!
Love also the wolf Tones version, On you mi young Bucko and mind yerself well, and not to forget to be a Proud Irish MAN 👍 ☘️🇮🇪☘️
The Wolfe Tones didn't do a "version" my friend... They did the original....."So take care...and mind yerself well"
@@STEVO-hn5su I was Drunk when I wrote that loool On you go mi old friend!🍻
Lyrics:
I was 18yrs old when
I went down to Dublin with a fistful
Of money and a cartload of dreams
"Take your time" said me father
Stop rushing like hell and remember all is not what it seems to be
For there's fellas that would cut ye for the coat on yer back
Or the watch that you got from your mother so take care me old bucko
And mind yourself well and will ya give this wee note to me brother
At the time Uncle Benjy was a policeman in Brooklyn
And me father the youngest, looked after the farm
When a phonecall from America said
'Send the lad over'
And the oul fella said 'Sure wouldn't do any harm' for I've spent me life working this dirty old ground
For a few pints of porter and the smell of a pound
And sure maybe there's something you'll learn or you'll see
And you can bring it back home make it easy on me
So I landed in Kennedy and a big yellow taxi
Carried me and me bags through the streets and the rain
Well me poor heart was thumpin around with excitement
And I hardly even heard what the driver was sayin
We came in the Shore Parkway to the faltlands of Brooklyn
To me Uncle's apartment on East 53rd
I was feeling so happy I was humming a song and I sang "You're as free as a bird"
Well to shorten the story what I found out that day was that Benjy got shot down in an uptown foray and while I was flying my way to New York
Poor Benjy was lying in a cold city morgue.
Well I phoned up the old fella told him the news
I could tell he could
Hardly stand up in his shoes and he wept as he told me
'Go ahead with the plans
And not to forget be a proud Irish man'
So I went to Nellies beside Fordham road and i started to learn about lifting the load
But the heaviest thing that I carried that year
Was the bittersweet thought of my hometown so dear
I went home that December 'cause the oul fella died
Had to borrow the money from Phil on the side
And all the brught flowers and brass couldn't hide
The poor wasted face of me father
I sold up the oul farmyard for what it was worth and into my bag stuck
A handful of earth then I boarded a train and I caught me a plane
And I found meself back in the US again
It's been 22yrs since
I've set foot in Dublin
The kids know to use the correct knife and fork
But I'll never forget the green grass and the rivers
As I keep law and order in the streets of New York.
If I had heard this without seeing him, I would have thought it was Ed Sheehan! Obsessed 💕💕💕
Na he sound Irish! Did not hear him talk but I bet he is from the North! Better Then Ed 😎👍
He sounds like dermot kennedy with a northern twang in his voice
I REALLY CAN RELATE♥️🐾♥️so good,MAYO☘☘
