I’m Dutch, but my God, how I love that Irish music, there’s no country, there are no other people that can make better music than you can, Irish folks…God bless you so you can go on making that beautiful and touching music…
Most indeedy. Though I love your country as well (One of my novels is set in Amsterdam. After my trip there where I fell in love, I felt the profound beauty of this town was not heralded enough…)
I'm 65 this week, Friday. I was born in 1954 in Dublin. I'm very proud to be Irish. I love you all. I was taken to England when I was 7. My Daddy had work there, no work in Dublin. I spent every Summer since 7 years old till 14, every Summer in Dublin!!!! I'm Irish, we are the best! Love you all.
Listened to Luke Kelly and the Dubliners with my dad every weekend, lost my dad a month ago and forever onwards il always sit and think about my dad when listening. Rest in peace dad I know you’ll be blasting Luke Kelly out up there x
I‘m German but Ireland is more than a second Home to me. All my Love to the Irish People, the Music and the sunsets and the Guinness. Erin Go Bragh ❤️🍀🇮🇪
@@paullooney8960 The first music, that I loved as a teenager, was Irish Folkmusic. I did not listen to Led Zeppelin and aall the other famous Band of this time. I listened to Planxty and De Danaan.
I am touched by the Irish music. I love the pride they have for their country and they sing that in their songs. The music hits me right in the heart. I am from The Netherlands but wished I was Irish
This was the last song Luke recorded right before his death. Even as he was weak from the toll his brain tumor took on him he was able to give a powerful performance that ranks with the best of the songs he recorded. So sad that he was lost at such a young age.
@@markdonoghue1351 nope. The night visiting song was recorded in 83. Song for ireland was recorded merely a few weeks before Lukes passing, and was his final recording
My mother was born on Dublin, Ireland. This was one her favorite irish songs.. preferably the Mary black version. A few years after her passing my father, 3 older brothers and I went to Ireland to visit family... after a day of travelling the country side on on our way back to Dublin we found a small pub in the middle of no where surrounded by beautiful green fields. When we enter the pub it's the ending of a song and a brief pause of silence for a second or 2.. before the next song can come on i already knew what it was going to be, that rare feeling when you know what's coming, sure enough Mary blacks voice pierces through my ears with her version as tears rolled down my cheek, my mother was present with us at that moment.
My fathers people came from Ireland - to the mountains of north Georgia where they still life and sing the old Irish Songs...I still hear the call from Ireland - most likely always will.
MrBlacksabbath94 Eire is achingly beautiful, but unfortunately scenery does not put food on the table. Which is why Eire's greatest export is it's people.
+MrBlacksabbath94 Damit bin ich einverstatnden,wenn ich noch einmal zur Welt kommen koennte dann als Irlaender.Fuck Thatcher, mit viel Freundschaft fur Irland, Axel
My be-sainted Irish mother left Ireland said she was so sad to leave but often said to me she couldn't eat the grass & landscape. She's gone some 19 yrs. but I still miss her.
30 years later and luke cant even be touched by the best singers of today, luke kelly, dubliner is all thats on his headstone, nothing else needs to be said of such talent
I'm just so proud so say I'm 100% Irish born and raised on the west coast of a small county with a big voice . I love Irish music and always will this in one of my favourites
I lived in London for 11 years and got the hell out of there end of 2018. It almost drove me insane. I am now living on the West Coast of Ireland a new man! Absolutely love it here.
Luke Kelly our true Irish son💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 Our Legend..we,re a tiny country but we have big hearts big souls and great empathy for other countries that went through the same things we went through ❤️❤️💚💚.. The Irish will always be very proud people and so so soooo proud of our little island.. what we've been through for 800 years and still going strong.we may be small but we're strong minded and never give up on our beliefs..🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 yup yup the Emerald Isle 💚🇮🇪
David S Welcome to the internet pal. This is what happens when an Irish man gets to see a picture of a Brazilian girl! Nothing creepy about it, just red blooded lust as God intended!!!!!
Happy Saint Patrick's days...I'm enjoying in drinking a beer this night in my flat in Belgrade and listening this masterpiece song..Greetings from Serbia to my Celtic brothers
+Nikola Radosavljevic just to make this clear: true irish patriots wouldn't have approved that racist milosevic. just pointing this out in case you believe serbia was attacked for false reasons in the 90s.
Beautiful man who died way before his time and a beautiful song that rises above the crass comments made here. I'm an Englishman born in Ireland, my mother is Scottish, so I'm a proper mongrel. I'll fight all corners(or 3 out of4), so I reckon I'll comment on the song .I was over in Mayo a few years ago with friends visiting family. we stayed at a pub at Belderig Beig (apologies for the spelling) One night a coach pulled up outside, it was full of youngsters going to the local club (30 miles away!) Anyway, they had called in to see us, as they had heard about us, The Singing English! Obviously we sat, had a few drinks and had a few songs. The highlight for me, of that evening and that weekend, was of a lovely young lady in a lovely part of a lovely country singing Song For Ireland. Hers was the best version I've ever heard, Luke's was the second.
Born in Tyrone and moved to England in '72 - brought up on this music and have just re-kindled my love for it after my Mom passed away recently, it's such a beautiful and emotional song. I can hear her singing it whenever I listen - treasured memories.
spent two weeks one summer in the 90's walking from Rosslaire to Galway; my heart would never be the same ever again i now understand the 99 shades of green & the fierce & terrible beauty of Irish love for the lands.
I have stood you “Your Atlantic Shore” with the green of Ireland behind me, and there is no better place to play and sing this song. I miss my Ireland 🇮🇪 .😢
Every time I feel well or sober, I play this song, it is a song of memories good and bad, prosperous and poor. It is a song of hope and lost memory, future and past. It is a great song, no two ways about it!
This song was sang around my after 11 years ago as they turned off the life support. Time is a great healer but we will never be the same again. I am thankful that we were able to be there and sing him this beautiful song as he left us . Life is so hard.
I was born in America but am of English, Irish ,Welsh, Scottish, Russian-Jewish, Croatian and Swedish descent. I enjoy this music very much just as well as the old time Polish Polka by Frankie Yankovic that my Croatian Grandma listened to. She died in 2017 at nearly 100 years old. I miss her so much.
I believe that this song is one of the greatest Irish songs ever, mainly because it shows the true appreciation for many Irish hearts, Being American but with many Irish Traditions, I can feel the song and I can visualize what Luke Kelly is singing about. It really touches my heart, can anyone else?
Yes I'm Irish from Dublin and I know what you mean an English man wrote the song when he was in the West of Ireland 🇮🇪 he gave the song for luke kelly he is the best Ballot singer ever in Ireland
The best story tellers of Irish social history. The voice of Luke Kelly soulful.I listen to him every day. Ronny another great Dubliner love all his songs too. Barney a great musician.Never see the likes of them again. John Kieran Burke ☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘🎶🎵🎶☘☘
i've never went to Ireland, but i think it's the country i would like to visit the most... so green, wild, mystic, old, beautiful, magic. There's a sentence that say "If you are enough lucky to be irish, you are lucky enough" something like that. I think it's really the idea that irish are born on a place like no other on earth , where these proud people shares to our world love of nature, beauty of music, and richess of mankind. I love Ireland, and Irish for their history through the ages, they always have been brave and strong with a poet soul, overcome wars, repression, submission, diseases, poverty, famine and live simply, the celtic way. have a good day, you irish brothers and sisters think to you everytime i hear a Dubliners song or open a Guinness ! (mean everyday) cheers
Dont mind what they think one is always a first class person when one is Irish....those in the UK are a sanctemonious narrow minded bunch anyway and hate everybody
I am well traveled, I am from Manchester, England and now live in Texas, USA and one thing I have noticed no matter where I have landed is there is good and bad everywhere! Flags, religion, borders are all man made and people choose to dip on one side or the other tend hate and hate is always destructive and painful. I will always make a point on dipping on the side of humanity, hence why I love a man like Luke Kelly. It pains me to see such negative comments attached to such a beautiful song! RIP Brother Luke you were a one off!
This song makes me so content. Proud, to be Irish, Happy, to live in Ireland. Wholesome to appreciate the best balladeer there is in the world and he is from my land. R. I. P. Luke
I'm a 21y old guy from germany and i'll go after one more year of school for about 3 weeks to ireland. i love the country and the culture, the music, and of course the beer :-) I can't wait to meet irish people. 2 weeks, i want to walk through the rough landscapes, just me and my tent. i'll ask for some work at farms. the last week i will spend in dublin. am amazing city. i'm looking forward to the next year. and please excuse my bad englisch. Be proud of your country!
EskobanMusic your welcome and I hope you enjoy your trip. Try and watch the beautiful game of hurling. Its our national sport its over 3000 years old. we are trying to promote it...
You should do the Connemara trail! It's really beautiful right in the west of Ireland! And really wild. You get to eat in one of the most beautiful hotels there. Oh yeah, and you'll need to be able to ride a horse! :)
conghamking There are not too many tent-packers who "get" to eat in beautiful hotels in my experience ,more like the local chipper or something from the local supermarket.....

Are you Sunni or S'hite akee? Just out of interest, respect from the Green Shores of Ireland. Turkey is a great country, the Celtic people once live there too!!!
Grew up listing to this music... My mum used to sing me traditional Celtic music, the same songs that her mum sang to her and so on. Traditional Celtic music is such a big part of my life... I love it
'For' being the operative word. This song was written about Ireland's west coast, by an English visitor. Brilliant, isn't it? And sung perfectly by a true master of the genre.
Thanks to Ireland and the Irish! I have come once in this magnificent nation and I feel bound in indissoluble manner. Hope soon to come back. Angelo from Rome
My father inlaw from Kilrush Co Clare, at 83 this is one of his favorite songs,he's been in America since 1956 Slainte, Luke Kelly had the voice he would often tell his sons!
Beautiful... Brings back best memories about Ireland, which feels like our second (or first...) home country. All the best from The Netherlands to the great people of Ireland and its country with its stunning scenery!!
this song is for all of us.. I have lost family members in this struggle.. close my eyes every time to this song and I am so blessed to be irish.. R.I.P to who we have lost....

Grew up listing to this music... My mum used to sing me traditional Celtic music, the same songs that her mum sang to her and so on. Traditional Celtic music is such a big part of my life... I love it
A simple song for Ireland. The Dubliners will never be forgotten. They sang our songs and will be remembered for ever.
I may not be Irish, but I love this song very much and have often been interested in Irish culture
+StrasbergProtégé This is an English song, written about Ireland by an Englishman, and sung by an Irishman, both of whom were masters of their art.
John Benton
Whatever the origin, I still love this song very much
Indeed, it is a wonderful song, wonderfully sung.
'For' being the operative word. This song was written about Ireland's west coast, by an English visitor. Brilliant, isn't it? And sung perfectly by a true master of the genre.
Welcome to the madness!
Thanks to Ireland and the Irish!
I have come once in this magnificent nation and I feel bound in indissoluble manner. Hope soon to come back.

This song always makes me have to hold back tears remembering an old man singing it in a Killarney pub. How I miss Ireland
Gone a long time now, never forgotten. Beautiful voice,such a legend!
Brought a tear to my eye
It's amazing the way people from all over the world are listening to a simple yet powerful song inspired by our wee, beautiful country. Stay strong
Just a reminder. You don't have to be Irish to believe in culture, people, and freedom.
God rest you Luke.
love my country and the beautifulness that dwells within us
Stand tall fellow Irish Brother's and Sister's, be proud of our heritage.

To us back here in Ireland you're just Irish so he actually included you. Don't be expecting any special treatment now ... do you hear??? :)
Sure,no problem, Irish Americans have honour, patriots verses nationalists.

Good old Luke RIP....no one like him...powerful voice ...amazing projection and presence.. died too soon.
i love irish folk since i was 8 years old this is about 55 years ago, Luke Kelly is a true legend
From USA, this is a special man and a special talent. Among the greatest of many great Irish singers. So sad his career was cut short.
The kind of music you can just lay back, sip a cup of tea and actually listen to whilst diving through countless emotions. Man, how golden!
"If you are lucky enough to be Irish, you are lucky enough" not sure who said it but Nana always made me feel lucky for it
:)
ahh god bless her and she knows best.

My father inlaw from Kilrush Co Clare, at 83 this is one of his favorite songs,he's been in America since 1956 Slainte, Luke Kelly had the voice he would often tell his sons!
Beautiful... Brings back best memories about Ireland, which feels like our second (or first...) home country. All the best from The Netherlands to the great people of Ireland and its country with its stunning scenery!!
Still listening to this in 2020
this song is for all of us.. I have lost family members in this struggle.. close my eyes every time to this song and I am so blessed to be irish.. R.I.P to who we have lost....
Rest in Peace Luc, Slainte Eire!. From NZ.
