A Rainy Night in Soho (Videoclip) - The Pogues

[musicfreakme91]

heard this for the first time today. simply beautiful

[PoorScouserLuka]

Croatian band Pips, Chips & Videoclips has great cover of this song, it's Poštar lakog sna :)

[barryburbs23b]

One of the UK's best songwriters of all time, and vocalist imho

[jamsee1]

Ireland people can really make some relaxing music

[Murphy98112]

Happy Birthday Shane! Dec 25th - 54 years. As a guy who is 4 months away from my 54th birthday, I've told my folk that if I should pass away before Shane, I want the following inscription on my marker: "I can't believe that Shane MacGowan lived longer than I did!"

[knmurphy1]

This song is perfection. An absolute, undisputed masterpiece.

[jaketheman163]

This is the best song ever i <3 The Pogues

[PornTrouT]

Anyone came to this after reading Hellblazer?

[svenlittlecross]

@PornTrouT

not me, but please share with us in what number is it?

i know one where someone compares constantine to the pogues song... rake at the gates of hell

[silverfuck77jpm]

great song - nobody ever thinks of or mentions the band/musicians - that song would not be possible with Mr McGowan without those wonderful musicians who made that song what it is - thank you all - wonderful music

[Harps66]

A rainy night in Soho is better than a fairytale in New York any day of the week!

[Gusdocs1]

Danke einfach nur sehr gut

[aldooraffs]

this is just beautiful this song, the irish always puting a smile on your face

[Kobrakov]

I forgot to say this...

"You're the measure of my dreams." ~The very best ending, of any song, ever...

[supafuckinmingster]

@Kobrakov Any sensible person would find it very difficult to argue with you on that score........wonderful.

[Kobrakov]

@supafuckinmingster

Spa'cibo. (thank you).

u videmsya popoge

[Kobrakov]

A beautiful song.

Spa'cibo,

Poca.

[lowth69]

A real tear jerker for all the Irish living abroad

[sesitty]

@aldooraffs we love ye back :)

[nahealaiabu]

1 word=CLASS

[michelledoherty1967]

pue brary

[michelledoherty1967]

this is sooooooooooooooooo good. xxx

[Shadow9Vesper]

Every time I listen to this song, it's like he paints all those things he sings about around me. His voice is amazing, shame he's had those problems in his life, but still, he is and will always be one of the best songwriters in folk and folk punk.

[manowar530i]

Yep, definitely one of the most beautiful songs out there. I wonder who the lovely girl who is Shane's dancing with in the video?

[peacefrog1916]

@manowar530i Thats his girlfriend, Victoria Clarke.

[OztarAntoine]

@manowar530i She's Victoria Clarke, his wife. ;)

[bridonkatie]

Best song by The Pogues(in my humble opinion). Brings out the best in Shane's song-writing talents, BRILLIANT!!

[CompleteControlP]

7 dislikes = 7 morons.

[boulbid]

I'M NOT SINGING FOR THE FUTURE

I'M NOT DREAMING OF THE PAST

I'M NOT TALKING OF THE FIRST TIME

I NEVER THINK ABOUT THE LAST

Shane <3

[bristolcityifcation]

are song cj i will always love you !!! thank u for all u gave me !!! this is are song !!

[michelledoherty1967]

the truth. xxx

[TheLukaraptor]

"Still there's a light I hold before me and your the measure of my dreams."

[reidyboi411]

Definitely a rainy night in SoHo

[ADDIDASSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

All of us are blessed to be enjoying the brilliance of Shane McGowan. McGowan paid a dear price for the creation of his art by sacrificing his health with alcohol and drugs to create it and perform it. Thank you Shane for every note you ever penned and sang.

[barryburbs23b]

Superb! One of the true greats.

[zerocool200200]

[insideahorse]

@aldooraffs england loves scotland, wales, France and ireland. No worries... great tune

[ToinMor]

what do you do at 2 in the morning when all your friends have went home but you have beer and whiskey left? Get the pogues on and worry no more!! Ta tuirse orm!!!!

[Hannahcannae]

[mcanner25]

DAMIEN DEMPSEY VERSION PISSIS ON THIS

[noelers1978]

@mcanner25 Damian Dempsey is a FAG! you GOBSHITE! 

[attyregan]

this is a great tune!

[seanseanleprechaun]

Sure an' its a beautiful ballad now...heart breaking. Takes a few good Irish lads to come up with lyrics and a tune like that now doesn't it ?

[InkSmudge81]

@seanseanleprechaun I agree about the tune but isn`t shane from tunbridge wells and most of the rest of the band from north london?

[dragonfitter]

@InkSmudge81 thats true shane grew up in england he went to quite a posh school

[Liamski06]

Da fuckin' best ever!!!

[Hockeyvalley]

I am from Sweden! And I have recently discovered this band!

And it's simply the best! Wow, lyrics that really means!

Love from Sweden!!

[kevcoatbridge]

Thanks for this.Brilliant.Cheers again.

[jprmac1]

[hlyme14]

Love song for a girl or the ginger lady, gargle. 

[8502tiny]

irish.english black pink or blue. who gives a #### the bloke is a genius. and this is the greatest love song ever made. end of.

[Gusdocs1]

love this song Shane you are one hell of a songwriter and the band are tremendous

[Doctormarshal]

Makes a guy proud to be Irish. Brilliant tune, brilliant lyrics, brilliant video

[PhillipMitDerOrgel]

Eigentlich ist Pogues nicht meine Musikrichtung, aber dieses Lied finde ich sehr schön.

[corkmotorhead]

does he really live in Tipp now?

[trollfinger]

@corkmotorhead

I see him in Dublin all the time. Don't know if he lives here or is just working or what.

[nollaig76]

Savage song by Shane. You make the Irish proud. A true legend. 100% irish, why do the English try to claim him, just cos he lived in London doesnt make him English. He now lives in Tipperary and as a fellow Tipp person I can say Im truly proud of him..Your the measure of my dreams....

[Naomirose86]

my ex use to always call me your the M.O.M.D and wouldnt tell me 4 ages what it meant! its only now iv read the lyrics about the redhead( im a redhead) 5 yrs nearly broken up and i still miss him!

[darkblue5]

Simply beautiful! How can someone press the dislike button and not feel ashamed?

[42valentine]

A true "Irish" poet, i dont think he would to impressed to hear anyone call him english.

[Cathye3]

Love this song, no body sings it like Shane !!! Thanks for posting it.

[oldallegator]

kevcoat, its not about the booze, its about an irreverance to something depending on the song booze is referenced

[Souljacol]

one of only a handful of songs that really touch my heart

[OutlawMinniePearl]

Shane is the Billy Joe Shaver of the British Isles!!!

[madmick17]

"some of them fell into heaven, some of them fell into hell." Man the older I get the more I see how true that line is! Brilliant!

[land4x4ever]

My favourite song ever, and im going to see them in Munich in July, im like a kid waiting for Christmas.

[bettyswollex]

The best songwriter in the last two generations, barr none...

[STFCstoneroses]

@bettyswollex Definately

[Gusdocs1]

shane is a musical genius one of the worlds best song-writers

[phmuppet]

Man this song gives me Goose Bumps!

[leeeinit]

Personally the best love song ever wrote!! Shane your a GENIUS!!!

[mbaqangaspaz]

I just saw the Pogues and they were very good. But man, Shane Macgowan is so burnt out these days.

[Famsar]

@mbaqangaspaz hes still alive? nice effort

[GeneralMitu]

For people who label this a love song, it's not just a love song, it's more than that, it's a song about life, and how fucked up it is. P.S. How fucking cool is it that Garth Ennis used the lyrics in his run on Hellblazer comics. Damn cool.

[KurtMcGowan]

@GeneralMitu so damn cool I wet my pants with excitement when I read the end of 'Dangerous Habits' (not really) x

[howdofolks]

Feckin living legend , god bless u shane

[bigbadreddog]

Shane is a great writer, lyrics are so smooth and stunning and he also is great fighter for the Irish justice, especially for the Provos. Sure he's a drunk, sure he won't make the top ten for the sexist rock star (Him, Mick Jagger, and Ringo Starr have to be the Ugliest rock stars) but he is the best songwriter of the 21st century

[stjulienlepauvre]

@bigbadreddog Shane, Mick Jagger & Ringo Starr are NOT ugly! You have odd taste! Let's see your picture!

[bigbadreddog]

@stjulienlepauvre are you a queer or something?

[stjulienlepauvre]

@bigbadreddog I don't understand why you're going in that direction. Do you think I'm a man or woman? You are quick to judge others out of context. This is MUSIC, not a beauty contest. 

[rjmuench1]

what a song... thanks for posting

[OutlawMinniePearl]

@rjmuench1 Amen, Shane's ugly teeth are part of who he is & where he came from!!! He is such a great poet that I couldn't care less about his damn teeth. I am proud of him for not getting California-perfect pearly whites as soon as he made some money!!! I think he looks quite handsome now with a beard & the teeth gone. It's hard to say what his best song is, he's got so many great ones. He's a lot like Billy Joe Shaver that way. God bless the great poets of Ireland & Texas!!!

[CelticBadBoyPoet7]

Teeth???....Fuck Teeth.......They Are Wayyyyyyy Overated....U Don't Need Fuckin Teeth to Drink, LOL

[TheOrbit14]

magic, beautiful soulful magic, thank you Shane

[ricardovfx]

Best song... the song of my life :)

[McShaneJack]

Not only is this one of the greatest ballads of all times, but Shane is still looking hot as hell. And this is coming from a straight guy...

[peacefrog1916]

@McShaneJack I've always thought Shane was pretty handsome, obviously theres a few pictures of him where he looks awful but theres also photos of me where i look like shite. Its only really his teeth which let him down in the looks department.

[jimtheskim]

@McShaneJack ,,yeah right tarquin,lol,,,,,,just pullin ya pud mate,great track.

[Presbristow]

@McShaneJack For real. I'm a straight guy and told my GF id fuck that guy... Dudes a beast

[crimlinwest]

The greatest love song ever penned

[1998theduke]

[1998theduke]

[maitiuoRaghallaigh]

Best 80's song

[padd74]

you re the measure of my dreams... can be equaled in beauty by, 'i've built my dreams around you'

[osheainnit]

Yes, its on the best of the pogues.

[301164planes]

some a them fell into hell,not u shane,u fall into heaven

[301164planes]

ord shane,he is a genius,wot a great track,great lyrics,pleasure to listen to,one of there best

[melkior1981]

Still there's a light I hold before me.... Hope... The only thing in this world, in this life, that is self sufficient and never goes away... Thank you Shane

[jeffhardy1033]

the man is a wreck, a riot and a genius

[rosemarymclaughlin]

I LOVE THIS SONG......It is a such a deep and meaningful song

[systemsounds]

what does he mean when he says the ginger lady by my bed??

[davehartwell15]

@systemsounds he's probably referring to a bottle of whiskey. the song is after a paean to alcoholism and lost dreams....

[peacefrog1916]

@systemsounds Bottle of whiskey.

[Cunnyfunt465]

True poet!.Great irish man!

[tamereigh]

ya he plays the flute

[steveoshakes]

how has this only 230,111 veiws. 

[dampie]

a good son when your drunk

cheers!!!

[badszelong]

"some of them fell into hell..."

[stormdancer16]

This song is astoundingly good. Wow.

[Duudeabides]

Pure poetry.....

[oscarslovechild1]

youre the measure of my dreams....This is a beautifully crafted ode to enduring love

[NugiKelly]

He still is a genious

[KBYoder]

Thank God he could sing in the studio, so we have a record of his talent. Lord knows all the live clips of Shane are pickled.

[ushiuni82]

Is Is Is That is one drunken genius who is not yet dead.

[dudishtein]

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into Hell

[peacefrog1916]

Man, i wish Shane didn't fuck himself up so badly, if i could write lyrics like these I'd keep drink and drugs as far away from my brain as possible. He was a genius.

[Koener]

@peacefrog1916 : Maybe without the booze and the drugs he wouldn't be such a great artist. who knows ?

[happyeoin]

@Koener would he be the same person?

[Koener]

@happyeoin Without the drugs and booze ? I guess not.

But hey, let's cherish him for as long as we still have him around

[glennsftn]

Indescribably awesome. Absolutely perfect song.

[kevcoatbridge]

You re the measure of my dreams. Is there anything better you could say to the person you love?

[kevcoatbridge]

You re the measure of my dreams. Is there anything more beautiful you could say to the person you love?

[kiwipaddy10]

@kevcoatbridge I signed up just so I could give you a 'thumbs-up' for your post. Absolutely lovely sentiment.

[kevcoatbridge]

@kiwipaddy10 Thankyou very much.A moving song.

[woodyfurball]

@kevcoatbridge Great Shout Kev, I lost me Ma and sing this for her

[kevcoatbridge]

@woodyfurball Sorry to hear about your Ma. I know its little conselation but take strength from the music and lyrics. God bless you and yours.

[spennamac]

@kevcoatbridge Mate well said.

[MaxZorinVsMajorTom]

@kevcoatbridge yes, "I think I'm in heaven when I'm with you, I know I'm in heaven when you smile". -Tom Waits

[tiktokz1]

@MaxZorinVsMajorTom  Does he sing this in a song off one of his albums? i cant seem to find it.

[MaxZorinVsMajorTom]

@tiktokz1 Its on Closing Time.

[bootlegsessions]

@kevcoatbridge There really isn't. Perhaps the verse from "Lay lady lay". I long to see you in the morning light, I long to reach out for you in the night.

[RubricOfRuin]

@kevcoatbridge it's a shame it's about whiskey though - like Sally Maclennane, his best love songs are about his love of booze.

[co69lm1]

@RubricOfRuin I think its his fondness for the drink that makes him such a brilliant songwriter.

[RubricOfRuin]

@kevcoatbridge it's a shame it's about whiskey though - like Sally Maclennane, his best songs are about his love of booze.
