Those Were The Days - Liam Clancy [26/26]

[GirlArmy21]

a favourite of my late Mother and Father....listening to this brings back great memories of home!

[fredjackamikoons]

Liam joked about the bar closing and took a drink, Actually it was water. Liam had quit years earlier. He and his brothers used to get so drunk, they often got booed of the stage. Fred Miles

Love the Clancys from my hometown, Carrick-on-Suir. Heard this song (and sang it in Russian) on my visit to Russia, Sept 2011

[Jane98E]

It was my great pleasure to join The Clancys and Tommy Makem at the White Horse Tavern on many occasions. They were regular guys and great fun. It was a magical time.  Those were the days indeed!

[hardyfh1]

Profound stuff, true Celtic soul. I like singers who have the passion. Many try to fake it but it's obvious when it rings true. I don't want to be impressed by a singer, I want to be moved. Singers like this strike a human chord and, in the end, that's all that matters.

[WERWIE98]

dont cry for what has been lost, smile that we did it

Thanks for posting this. I saw him perform live many times, and I feel so lucky for that.

[catsireland]

HE sung with such passion. I think they'd have to enlarge heaven to make enough room as he and the boys deserve... RIP Tom, Paddy, Tommy and Liam...

[Chomuno]

He died before I could have seen do this... Died too early, or am I born too late?

[IrishandFolkmusic]

@Chomuno Bit of both, although I'm younger than you and made sure that I saw this incredibly gifted man once in my life and I will never forget, I miss him.

[Chomuno]

@IrishandFolkmusic (You're not younger than me :) three years older :p ). Yes, I understand. I have seen none of the Great Folk Stars, there's only a few left... Maybe will I see Peggy Seeger! But those Liam, those Makem, those Ewan MacColl and Luke Kelly I will know nor see (living) never...

[tinkxy09]

WONDERFUL! This brings me back to memories of my Da' singing it when I was a wee lass. TY Liam!

[Tlax13]

This song brings me back to a better time. RIP Liam.

[saintpine]

this song is originaly Russian written by Boris Ivanovitch Fomin round about 1925, and worded in the English version by Gene Raskin in the mid 60's, sung by many singers.

It has various tranlations also in my languange, Italian, sung by Gigliola Cinquetti with the title "Quelli erani i giorni" in 1968.

[fethard1]

Brilliant!!!!

[darragh84]

RIP Liam.

When a great man dies, for years the light he leaves behind him, lies on the paths of men that follow.
