The Wind that Shakes the Barley

[whysers]

Gaza children die because Palestinian men fire rockets at Israelis and then hide in schools, where they know fools will only read one side of the story and then help them win the war from within our country.

[xProudxIrishxGirlx]

i covered this, if anybody's interested! beautiful song, i know i can't do it justice, but i felt such passion listening to it that i wanted to give it a shot.

[pacingBlue]

Whose is this? Who is singing? Is this the original version? It's magic...

[MrMickroach]

@TakisPadazo Of course, compared to you, the Turkd are honourable

[redtopc20xe]

@MrMickroach No one likes you you horrible little man, threats from a armchair warrior, your a nobody, I'd say you were a TA soldier if that, now fuck off cos you got my email address and havent got the bollocks to meet me! Shithouse

[MrMickroach]

@redtopc20xe A cretinous liar calls ME an armchair warrior. Go on then, tell me who the RSM was when you wer 2 Para, who the CO was or even the Padre, because old son I know from what your published age is, and what you say, you are a liar! And you lying scum, I was on the gate when you were on Cow & Gate! As for TA, if you had been a regular, you would not even have the gall to call them, you welsh fucking waster!

[redtopc20xe]

This guy is singing from the heart

[MrMickroach]

@redtopc20xe And when I have finished with you, you will be shouting through your arse, you lying piece of shit! You were never in the Parachute regiment! What a cretin.....Trog bastard!

[TheiosJohnLowBap]

Saoirse!

[MCbeava]

I'm Dutch, just saw the movie and i'm pretty sure that its one of the best ever made. Really exposes the drama in especially the civil war.

@triotoonzzz Tá muid saor in aisce, tá Éire Bhreatain.

[caledonia64]

[kingpharaohtsar]

@johnpaulmeehan na chioche from abla

[RingMasterPearse]

A beautiufl song. It's a shame I can't find the Tommy Makem version anywhere.

[hagrid3689]

Tå an amhrain seo go hålainn

[bencarrollasheville]

@johnpaulmeehan - "proclamation" - as in to proclaim. One language at a time..." And it should read "brits out OF ni" - c'mon - you can't even speak their language. How in the hell do you expect to get them out of the north if you can't even martial an intellect? Hopeless..

[davisevan11]

may she one day be free

[Deathvoter]

One of my favorites!!!It embraces your heart and your will for justice and Freedom!!!!Greetings from Greece!!

[Peppepoppldoppl]

[solus881]

Well you were the one that made the 'joke'.

[salian66]

insult you stop wallowing in self pity rebuild eire and forget about us british1

[xxksaoXX]

@johnpaulmeehan One day I hope you will not feel such hatred.

[didyouseethatlight]

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT. I thought this was a Dead Can Dance song of the same name. What a letdown.

[salian66]

merman im no loyalist,but im right in my post the truth hurts unless you build bridges with loyalists nothing gonna change in n.i,let the hatred go the past is the past.....

[salian66]

im not a loyalist just you irish wallowing in self pity,we gave you the country now you,ve well screwed it up .p.s was it britains fault?.

[salian66]

its spuds you grow in ireland not barley!!!

[curaidh]

[lillerman]

@salian66 Uneducated loyalist...quite a few of those around!

[xxksaoXX]

@lillerman Believe me, there are quite a few undeducated Republicans.

[solus881]

@salian66 Potato jokes are a pathetic substitute for the fact that you're obviously ignorant. You want the past to be left in the past...well,stop insulting people with your 'humour'.

[emeraldtrianglenorte]

this is a Scottish singer named dick gaughan

[emeraldtrianglenorte]

this is a scottish singer named dick gaughan

[thebeautiful1s]

there is some beautiful instrumentals to this version.... very nice.

however, my personal preference is the Dead Can Dance version...

[Anthrax2404]

@thebeautiful1s Lisa Gerrard and Dead can dance is the only version to listen to.. Its totally captivating and magnetic...

[Nightsurf59]

@Anthrax2404 WORD

[ciberdanymusic]

Dick Gaughan sing this song ! joyce died in 1883 :D, these lyrics are not identical to the original...

[MrKiller015]

nice song

[MrT8T3R]

Who is the artist performing this version?

[RebekkArt]

My favorite version of this tune <3

[corocotttta]

the bold united men. long time ago...

very nice :)

[firedheliel]

@johnpaulmeehan I think you meant "proclamation." Correct spelling- learn about it. Also, you should know that the lyrics to this song were written by a man who died in 1883, so while the events of 1916 may be related, they are definitely not being addressed by this piece.

That being said, gorgeous song.  Absolutely love it.

[johnpaulmeehan]

@firedheliel im no english teacher i will write things how i feel like and i simply wrote 1916 to show nothing has changed and yes they are very related so i think its completly relevant

[firedheliel]

@johnpaulmeehan Don't take it too seriously, just providing a little helpful info. To say nothing has changed would be a mistake, though. True enough the Troubles continue to an extent in the Ulster area, but as someone who has spent a significant amount of time living as a Dubliner and discussing the subject with Irish students in the college I attended in Dun Laoghaire, you'll find the Irish take more pride in their ability to bring peace to N. Ireland in the '90s than any revolution.

[johnpaulmeehan]

@firedheliel nah man i understand what you were saying. to be honnest tho nothing has really changed we have just chosen to close are ayes to it and have learned to accept we will always be treated diffrently. the areas that are now fighting again have learned this and have had enough. true we also take pride in being able to achieve peace and a revolution is not what we wanted we would like to be able to sit back cumfy in are homes but everyday we are reminded we are not free

[doomelf]

haha no way, Dead can Dance does it the best.

[penguinegg01]

Not too sure what he is singing about, but he sings and plays it beautifully. Perfect, just perfect.

[neillconnor]

Dick Vaughan the 'master'

[avipunkinpie]

This version is sung and played by Dick Gaughan.

[cluch9]

@joneljavellana1000

lol

[hitbot5]

i got into a fight with some english person at school da day. i said tiocfidh ar la and he pissed off

[Sidcup12]

@johnpaulmeehan  That's 1916 "Proclamation"

[johnpaulmeehan]

@Sidcup12 thanks for the correction in the english language

[pscullion2001]

watched the wind that shakes the barley last night, brilliant. defo worth a watch. you can watch it for free at tvshack.net/movies/The_Wind_Th­at_Shakes_the_Barley__2006_/

[spectrum99122]

KInd of an Irish John Martyn, hard to understand but impossibly enchanting.

[mrfolkroots]

Is this Dick Gaughan singing this?

[Javier0000Rami]

Torching and mind blowing .

[mullagh670]

Please boycott Israeli goods here in Ireland. The killing of three hundred children in Gaza last year is not on, God bless you.

[josparkes1]

Haunting singing, lovely !

[MrSigsauer45]

i made a video response....i hope you enjoy it :)

[MrSigsauer45]

a no a cover of this song of a croatian group called Belfast Food, same word's, but faster music...

the song is amazing....

Respect from Croatia...

[OSFdyme]

tiocfaidh ár lá a chairde :)

[clem6593]

The world hath conquered,

The wind hath scattered like dust

Alexander, Caesar, and all that shared sway.

Tara is grass, and behold how Troy lieth low --

And even the English,

Perchance their hour will come

[pfcsusczynski]

up the ra

[MomSaysImCool]

The friend who recommended this song to me committed suicide yesterday, and now this song just seems to mean so much more.

[TheRubySlipUps]

@MomSaysImCool i agree.

[MomSaysImCool]

Had she shown you this song before she died? Apparently, she played for an entire class one time.

[TheRubySlipUps]

@MomSaysImCool no we just saw it on your wall on Facebook. It's a really beautiful song and she was a really beautiful person :(

[PatrickMcgowan79]

I wish the United States didn't tax the hell out of musicians from other countries. Then I might have a chance of seeing Dick Gaughan here. I'll make it to Scotland one day to see him.

Has anyone seen this album online anywhere?

[noneyageorge85]

i wish as well to see dick gaughan here. i can't even find his albums anywhere, i tried small cd shops and even downloading them

[buachailleheid]

@PatrickMcgowan79

Friend, anything that rings freedom, the USA will tax for one reason or the next. Ive seen Mr Gaughan 4 times in Scotland for pennies, Ive spoke to the man for free, its politics buddy - your country has its people in shackles. The people of your country are ones who ultimately have the power - revolt and ye shall prosper....Dick Gaughan is a man of freedom, his songs reverberate with 'fuck tyranny'. Do not accept your present bonds...listen to the whistle of nature!

[El4yne]

Very emotive. Love the film of the same name - although absolutely heart wrenching. Although a mixture of Irish and English myself, Ireland is in my heart - where I am always happiest and and where I belong. Difficult to explain.

[crstopdrinking]

thanks alot mate much appreciated :)

[SaiHaeng]

Brits out

Cornish in

[bertwindon]

At last ! a performance of this song which explains it's fame . Now I understand !

[crstopdrinking]

[HelixEthie]

[EireGaming]

[gdrotos]

This makes me cry cry. Beautyful. Love this version, and Lisa's version is also perfect, but somehow that's different.

[joeygsmom]

What a lovely voice this man has

[leftoverbread]

My favorite song. =)

[inddevelskeep]

It is a wonderful song.

[aloysiusdedalus]

Ha. My dad was in that film as an extra in some of the Ramelton scenes

[didiradev]

[butler22070]

[mika08ts]

wow...

[s0ulrider]

Thank you for uploading this one.

[0bh]

I didn't even know this song had lyrics, much less lyrics this amazing. I can't imagine why anybody would want to do it again, there's no way anybody could do it better or even do it justice after this better than awesome performance. I wish I could give this 10 stars.

[thetoonraider]

Amazing !!

[buachailleheid]

dick, you win my heart so true, i shiver when i listen this....it means so much to my simpleness. cheers man

[BardofCornwall]

Excellent. The more I hear of Gaughan's work, the more impressed I become.

[DonegalRaymie201]

Dick Gaughan, he's a treasure!

[theorangebox999]

[t4texas]

It's part of Dick Gaughan's two-disk compilation, "Prentice Piece." Gaughan's the best!

[MFRedeemerp2]

[DonegalRaymie201]

[peaceandparty]

[musicismymommy]

[crackerwithsoul]

It is a poem by Robert Dwyer Joyce.

I think the singer of this version is Dick Gaughan

[jahfish42]

Yes I'm sure it's Dick Gaughan singing. Wonderful!

[KashmirKiddy]

Well, duh. But he's not exactly the singer, just the composer.

[samthesham1106]

who sings this song

[OpusBoa]

I don't know, but I do know this is the version that was sung at the Irish Folk Festival '97. That's the artist according to the file. I got it from LimeWire.

[keon850]

@OpusBoa :could you send it to my email?

[DonegalRaymie201]

Dick Gaughan, and no one else! He also plays the guitat on this, he's the best!

[jonhedge]

Well this is Dick Gaughan but Martin Carthy also does an excellent version of it

[catholicrik]

@samthesham1106 Hi all...this singer sounds like Dick Gaugan to me . A famous Scottish folk singer. I am 85% sure that this is him, yet if I am wrong someone here on you tube will (no doubt) correct me. Happy Easter to you all !
