    This gets even better when you remember that "Viva la Vida" is about the French Revolution, and the French Republic supported the Irish Rebellion of 1798.

      Well, the good news is there has been a push to bring it back, at least in Northern Ireland and extending some to the US, I don't know how things are in the Republic as that's not where my family is from. I know my grandmother could at least read the language, and I think spoke some when I was young - single one off words or phrases I've unfortunately long forgotten. Partially cause there were certain political issues at home, and when over here (in the US) speaking English was expected and well - some people are to put it very nicely jerks to people who speak another language/differently. But me and my mom at least are looking to at least try and learn, even if it's use state side is limited.
      Part of why I really like these covers is that some of her old music from Ireland is actually in the language, so even if I don't know the meanings I sometimes recognize the words said and reminds me of when I was a kid around the house and she'd play old Irish folk music or even more modern ones (or at least 'modern' as in pre-1990's that was not yet 'old').

    Lyrics:
    Ba mé, uair, Rí an domhain.
    Bhog na sléibhte mórthimpeall orm.
    Reált geal na maidne, é ag lasadh romham
    Ach níor airigh sé riamh mo dhóthain.
    Mo naimhde, chuile shaghais,
    Ag iarraidh lom na fírinne a leigheas.
    Sluaghairm ag canadh linn
    Ar mhallacht an Rí, seanRí imithe.
    An eochair i dtaisce im’ chroí
    Thit as a chéile mar bheadh gadaí san oíche.
    Anois mé a breathnú thar timpeall orm
    Ar an ríocht a bhí ann, ab áille ar domhan.
    Cloig Jerusalem iad ag seinm
    Glór na n-aingeal ag ardú ionam.
    Sí mo mhian, mo rogha, mo shaol,
    Ní dheanfaidh muid dearmad ar an scéal.
    Airím slán i m’intinn fhéin
    Gan í ann ní bheadh tada
    Tada riamh mar inné
    B’shin nuair a sheas mé ar bharr an domhain.
    Mé anseo seasamh i lár gaoth aduaidh
    Ag iarraidh an t-olc a chloígh gan dua.
    Sluaghairm ceol is drumaí ag bualadh trom
    No, ní chreidfeá an troid atá istigh ionam.
    Ár misean ná go mbeidh muid saor
    Ní faoi choimín ag an Béarla de shíor.
    Teanna timpeall is bí ag canadh linn
    D’aon ghuth nach n-airíonn sé chomh binn.
    Cloig Jerusalem, iad ag seinm
    Glór na n-aingeal ag ardú ionam.
    Sí mo mhian, mo rogha, mo shaol
    Ní dheanfaidh muid dearmad ar an scéal.
    Airím slán i m’intinn fhéin
    Gan í ann ní bheadh tada

    Viva La Vida is one of those songs that pretty much always sounds great, IMO, but singing it in Irish takes it to a whole new level. Even though I can’t really understand it, it’s just got this beautiful flow to it that fits the melody perfectly.

    Looking forward to seeing you in concert with The Longest Johns in October. Another amazing release as always, and the collabs with Bobby and Jonathan have been incredible as well.

    half of me is buttthurt i dont understand the language, but the better half of me is so happy Colm is doing more for the Celtic language than probably anyone else can and i respect that. Vive la Ireland. Your islands beauty is worth the fight.

    It was this day that I realized I never actually listened to Viva La Vida, and thought I've been subconsciously replacing it with TryHardNinja's Fallen Kingdom this entire time.

    I was already prepared to love this, but when you started singing in Gaeilge--UGH MY HEART 🥰
    I think you should sing "Mary on A Cross" by Ghost, I think it would be beautiful.

    Fun fact. The first few lines in this song talk of a person who 'sweeps the streets he used to own.' Yeah, that actually *happened* to a monarch. Emperor Puyi of China had a really hectic reign but by the end of his life, the Chinese government literally made him a street cleaner that was responsible for the streets *around* the Forbidden City. China doesn't have casts _exactly,_ but they do have cultural ideas on certain occupations being higher or lower than others and street sweeper is one small step above homeless beggar. The Chinese government didn't kill him for fear of sparking a civil war but they literally gave him the worst job possible culturally.

    Colm, i absolutely adore your covers. I'm from Chicago, i have basically all german and polish blood, but for some reason i have always felt such an affinity and a love for ireland. I aced a british history class wherein they explained all of Ireland's history since 1388 in part of it. I listened to this cover a couple of weeks ago and it even inspired me to start learning Irish Gaelic. I have a question though, what dialect of irish Gaelic do you speak it in? Cheers! Is fearr Gaeilge briste, ná Béarla clíste!

    I know this is sung in Irish, but when I first heard it I thought it was Welsh because at 53 seconds into the song he sings what sounds very much like Cymru, or Wales in English. is this just a coincidence?
