I could listen to this song all day - just because I love the emotion in his voice. It seems most people are unable to communicate emotion through their songs these days (singing-wise, not lyric-wise).
And his voice is amazing. The huskiness almost brings out the emotion even more.
I personally like this cover over the original. <3
This is the bloody history of the Emerald Island. Sad but true andd God willing not the future. As Ryan puts it so well, "we are fools to make war on our Brothers in Arms" . It is the bitter legacy of Ireland.
This video makes me think of all my brothers in arms thank you.I just wish people would know what they are dieding for, it is not just for our freedom it is for everyones freedoms around the world.
Don't kid yourselves , My Friends, This lovely song & singer will never see your or my responces.... But it is a great song , a Tribute to all , That have served & lost their lives for freedom !!! God Bless you all !!
it is so amazing to watch all these men grow vocally and emotionally through these last few years... I am praying for them to make it to the top... and be able to be heard by all if not all by many! Ryan you and Dman have been the most improved so proud can't wait till you all come to Michigan!
I love this song and video. It's so hauntingly beautiful. It's amazing to see Ryan shed the bad boy image (though I love the bad boy side) show his gentler side singing such a serious, haunted, song.
To all the men & women that are off fighting for me.... Thank you... i couldn't do what you are doing.. so I will stay home and raise my children to be grateful for what you do..
The only victories in war is when everyone comes out arm in arm, both enemy and good guys, without hurting anyone. I love this song. Ryan sings it with a heart of pure gold.
Just absolutely beautiful song sung exquisitely and so heartfelt! I can definitely go to sleep soundly if he ever sings a lullaby with that crystal clear , pure voice! Yeah, war is ugly but some need to be fought unfortunately. May it end soon!
either he's a really good actor, or he really believes in the message of this song. the swallow in the beginning says it all, along with the emotion which with he sings.
This song is pure beauty. It's sad when you think about it but it's put in a beautiful way. I love it. My grandma has their concert DVD andafter watching it I had to go out and buy the CDs.
I can't believe the day is finally here! To bad I have to go to school first DX I get to see you guys live tonight at 8 in Spokane! I'm so excited that I'm litterally running of like and hours worth of sleep XD I can't wait, I know you'll do great :D
I LOVE the way the audio came out for this song! That far off/echo-y sound just totally fits!!! I saw these wonderful guys back @ beginning of Nov & they ARE definitely even BETTER (voice & looks wise) in person! Can't wait for the finale show!!
I love this song! (even tho it IS sad, its still beautiful) I love the contrast and difference in Ryan's voice between this song and Ride On! All of you are amazing!
i LOVE ryan's voice!! it's that raspy rocker voice ... mmmm ;P
